AAA photo. | “Farmerettes” will learn that frequent gathering of eggs is one way to increase production.

By ROSELLEN CALLAHAN Times Special Writer NEW YORK, April 20.—Sixty thousand women are wanted to “man” farms this year. They're ‘needed to help short-handed farmers break all the food production records in history. City girls who know no more about planting and poultry raising than they do about decoding enemy messages, are wanted for the new women’s land army just as much as those with previous farm experience. They can join up for full-time work or part-time vacation periods. And the only

work hard. This year, Uncle Sam wants Americans to cultivate 95,000,000 acres of corn, deliver 4,500,000,000 dozen eggs, 83,000,000,000 pigs, 125,000,000,000 pounds of milk, and a lot of other food essentials in ‘ astronomical figures. Yet, though the food requirements are the highest in history, farm labor is at its lowest ebb. And so the government is sending out a call for volunteers to join the new land army, a branch of the U. S. crops corps, to fight the crucial battle of food production ‘on the home front. Whereas in England almost

everyone is drafted under the national service act, and women are placed on farms and paid by the government, the U. S. land army will be recruited by such agencies as the U. S. employment service, AWVS, Y. W. C. A, Girl Reserves, Girl Scouts, Camp. Fire Girls and others. If you want to be a ‘farmerette” this summer, apply to any of these. Training centers are being organized at agricultural colleges to teach women who want to work

full-time all about dairying, hor- .

ticulture, poultry raising, animal husbandry, agronomy, plant diseases and agricultural engineer-

. ; PE gy a to from OWI. In addition fo Yearning about animal husbandry, planting, sowing, reaping, a a d Pac fruits and vegetables, women land army ‘volunteers will learn to drive mechanized equipment.

ing. And some farm machinery manufacturers are instructing: women in the operation of tractors and drills. Those who plan to spend “victory vacations” on farms need only a short ‘orientation course to teach them the proper method of picking, sorting, grading. and packing vegetables and fruits; spraying, pruning and hoeing, and other odd jobs which will free the farmer for the work which requires more technical knowledge. And they'll be paid at the prevailing farm wages in their section. - Industrious workers can

make from three to four dolldrs a day. Of course, living expenses must be deducted from this, unless they live on the farm, in which case they may be given room and board plus a small wage. Last year farmers were frankly skeptical about having “victory vacationers” ' help harvest the They didn’t think city folk could “take it.” .But by the end of the season the Doubting Thomases had to admit that the women and youngsters had certainly earned their keep and pay. Of course, the recruiting agents warn, farming isn’t done on a strictly six-day-a-week basis.

Horses, cows and pigs have to be fed every day, hens lay eggs on Sundays just as on any other day, potato bugs don’t rest on the Sab~ bath, nor do berries wait for Monday morning to reach the state of perfection for picking.

Though crop corps workers won’t have to lift heavy feed bags or operate cumbersome farm equipment, the work is vigorous. The first couple of weeks muscles will moan and bones groan from unaccustomed bending.

But it’s work which will make |

bodies strong, complexions and eyes clear and—most important of all—help win the war.
