Women Must Help Farm
to Avert Famine, Senate
Committee May Appeal
Ii'.tern.itional News Service:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. Ameri
can women must turn their atten
tion to tilling th soil if their nation
is to escape famine.
This Iti the most plausible remedy
for the shortage of farm labor which
presents itself today to the members
of the senate agricultural committee
investigating food conditions. Mem
bers of the committee point out that
women in the allied nations have
taken up farming and the committer
is' now considering an appeal to tho
women of America to turn to agri
culture instead of knitting to help
their country.
If the women of the nation don't
aid in the farming then there must
be military' operation of the farms,
members of the committee declare.
"It is plain enough that the labor
shortage i critical and a great
problem." said Sen. Kenyon of Iowa,
today. "It sterns to me that sooner
or later we will have to have tome
military recognition given to the
men on the farms. The boy on tho
farm wants to go to war. just as
much as the boy of the city. It Is
hard to get him to stay at home and
i continue the 5aine farm work he
j has ahvavs done, when there is a
great war in which his nation is in
volved. He wants to be in uniform

Spring Crop I Lest rid cI.
Testimony offered before the com
mittee today brought out the fact
that spring crops are being restrict
ed because farmers don't care to
c,a pble on an uncertain labor sup
Piy at harvest time.
Operations of the draft h as inter
fered with farm labor in some dis
tricts, according to evidence before
the committee. It has been shown
that the local hoards in many dis
tricts have failed to give exemptions
to men engaged in agricultural pur
suits. On the other hand many farm
ers have been disinclined to seel;
exemptions. It is probable that ne
gotiations will be taken up by the
rennte agricultural committee and
Provost Marshal Gen. Enoch II.
Crowder toward wider exemption of
men in agricultural pursuits in the
second draft and those following.
Women's organizations will be ap
pealed to and asked to carry on
campaigns to send the women of
the nation into the Jields to ensure
an adequate food supply for the
forces abroad and at home.
