One thing is sure:—We farmers have got to do more work th,s year, with less help than usual. i We've got four nations to feed in- stead of just one, to begin with. Neither England, France nor Italy have left on their farms enough able- bodied men to “do the chores.” They {have simply got to obtain their fool from outside. Nor is very much of this to be ex- pected from such far-off lands as Australia, Argentina, India, etc, The lack of ships makes it essential that all voyages shall be the shortest pos- sible, in order to make a larger num- ber. A steamship with a cargo of wheat can go from New York to London four times, with four loads, while it would be going but once, with one load, fromiAustralia. : Therefore we of the United States have got. to. furnish the bulk of the food for the civilized world.—Which term, of course, excludes Germany and Russia, neither of which seem any longer capable of claiming inclusion in that category. At the same time with this quad- rupled demand on us for production from our farms, comes a tremendous shortening of our already inadeguate labor supply. Before the war broke out many farmers were drawing in thelr horns and decreasing the extent of their cultivation because of the difficulty and cost of labor. , with its sudden enforced withdrawal of about two million men from productive industry, —the largest single numper being taken from the farms. At last and with maddening but wholly characteristic slowness of vision, our supposed rulers have discovered that the re- version of Rus chaos and anarchy and—one wishes one could write “pitifui” were i o contemptible and dissusting- lessness in the claws of its w enemy this state means that America must 8O- 39 pairs White 18 pairs Grey 19 pairs Suede 3 pairs Brown “Yanity Fair” SILK UNDERWEAR 105 SILK VESTS White and Flesh, were to $3.75 12 SILK BLOOMERS Were $3.50 8 SILK BLOOMERS Were $4.50 14 SILK CHEMISE Were $3.75 6 SILK.

We farmers, again and as usual, will have to furnish the largest number of men of any single occupation. Our ranks will be still further depleted. The fields crying fainly to heaven for cultivation, will have only one man available for their needs, Where five , less than men were found toa fe three years ago. And despite this even with it, will come with. continuing in- sistence and increasing urgency the appeal and the demand for more prod- ucts from these same fields. What are going to do about it? with,—we're going to fill the order! We're going to do for our country and for the world what the country and the world call on us as our duty to do. We're going to speed up. pro- duction and enlarge our borders, though we have to add oonlight aving” to “daylight saving,” and use the light of hottled fire-flies to hoe our corn with!

I don't believe the use of a tractor would be feasible or economical on a majority of small New Englang farms, Many of our fields are so tiny that half the time would be taken in turn- ing 'roynd at the end of the short fur- rows. Many are as shapeless as a fog-bank on a windy morning, and the furrows have to be about as crooked ‘as a rail-fence, or as the trail of an angle worm on a drunk Many are full of stumps and stones: many are so sidehilly that even horses sometimes tumble over each other ne- gotiating them. On such land, the use of a tractor, or even the theught: of using a tractor seems to me absurd. But there are a few large farms, even in New England. There are some ble fields. There are some farms with level plow-lands, free ledges or hidden stumps. There are some farms where the removal of unessential fences would throw two or more fields into one, big enough to make tractor work farms with from concealed feasible. On my own little place, | haven't a field big enough or smooth enough or stone-free enough to invite tractor- ising. But my very next neighbor has one ‘which lies fairly level, is almost square in shape, and is free from any under- ground obstruction. It takes him eight days to plow it with his one team, while he could finish it in two with a tractor and a gang-plow. Another neighbor has three forty- acre lots lying side by side on a gentle slope, all of which, with the ex- ception of a ledge-y corner in one and a swale near the end of another, would be amenable to tractor-work. There are others,—scattered over the town, on one farm and _another, amotinting to a_good many hundred acres, all told.
