At this time it is not apparent to officials of the Fluted States department of agriculture that tin farm labor needs will require Hie services of women in other than the lighter tasks to which they already are accustomed. Ilut in order that food production plans for tlds year shall not fall down, the department has advised Its field representatives to be prepared to encourage women to perform farm labor If tiie situation demands it. Great Ftritnln lias attempted, on account of tin submarine warfare, not only to maintain her agricultural production but to Increase It. To do this an active campaign was undertaken to place women on the land. This work Is curried on under the direct supervision of their national board of agriculture. The organization is somewhat similar to Hint found in our county agent organization, there being district agents, n county community with a county organizer nnd local u gents In every county. The functions of the local organizations are: first, to secure women land workers; second, to train them ; and third, to find farms fer them to work on. The work of obtaining volunteers 1ms been carried on by means of posters, personal visits, meetings, competitions, and so on. As soon as a woman Indicates her desire to take up work on the land, she must submit to a physical examination In order that thp committee may in sure that she is physically fit to endure the strain of farm work. She is also examined ns to her personality. In order to determine whether she can gel on with farm conditions. Types of Practice Farms.

There is an opportunity now for urban people sympathetically and consitstructively to study tiie farm-labo- r uation and to render assistance, said David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture, In a recent statement. In many towns and cities there are men who have had farming experience, who are and who doubtless would tie willing to serve the nation in the held of agriculture at this time. Especially for the seasonal strains of planting, cultivating and harvesting, it will not be too much to ask such men to aid (he farmers In the necessary undertaking of maintaining and. if possible. supplementing, tiie food supply in order to feed the armies and to sustain die civilian population behind them. If it appears that the farmers of a community or region are not aide to secure the necessary labor by the usual methods, then Hr leaders in tiie town or city immediately dependent upon lint region should organize, establish tench with representative farm leaders, and see if they cannot assist In solving the problem. The department of agriculture and labor will render every possible aid, hut each community knows its own problems, and urban people, especially business men. could effectively with the fanners and also render much assistance. able-bodie- d PHYSICIAN anti in 4?
