Show establish mm. FHP11SJ FRANCE A model farm has been established by the American Red Cross at Courbet, for it has been found that farm work is one of the very. best means of hastening hasten-ing the recovery of those men suffering from shell shock. One farm of 500 acres has been laid out in the department depart-ment of Indre-et-I.oire that is planned and is to he managed uAer the methods meth-ods pursued in our own great farming regions of the West. Since these farms will be worked almost al-most entirely by the convalescent sol-, diers and those made unfit for active service, the expense of mnintainance will be very little. But the saving of human life will be enormous. And every farmer in" this country who enrolls in the Christmas Red Cross Roll Call will be helping indirectly in-directly to carry on this reconstruction work among the mutilated soldiers in France. |
