Ing to do, and whether she is willing to work all day and every day in the week. It should be thoroughly under stood by all parties concerned that the women are to receive a wage equal to that given men for performing the same amount of work. Wherever possible, this can be brought about by putting the work on the piece basis.

In xne Lighter Farm Work Such as Picking, Sorting and Packing emits Women Can Replace an d Release Man Power. . Aiding Farm Wives Town Women's Chance Releasing Men In Lighter Industries of Towns for Farm Work Another Way to Help Women for Heavier Farming Operations Advisable Only . in Case Man Supply is Exhausted. .
This is the first of a series of articles which will make suggestions as to how women may help . meet the deficiency in man power on the farms. A a rule the employment of women in farming operations should not be' considered it the agricultural production can be maintained by the employment of men and boys. The Department of ' Agriculture does not wish to urge the use of women laborers on the farms unless the man supply becomes exhausted. The lively interest now being Bhown by women in all parts of the country who are eager to volunteer - their services to help the men and boys carry out the Nation's food production program this, year has forced the attentionof Federal officials to the fact that needed work can be done by these willing hands. Women who can help farm women with their work and ; who can release men in the lighter, industries to do the heavier work on the farms can give valuable aid in the , present labor emergency. The articles will point out certain precautions which should be observed by; organizations which are enlisting women for farm work and will discuss some of the lessons England has learned in training 300,000 women to help in food production.
Only when the man and boy supply
is exhausted and the failure of the Nation's food production campaigns
are threatened, should the United
States call up on women to do men's
work on the farm. .
That, briefly, may be said to be the
policy of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in the matter of women as farm laborers. Badly as labor will be needed to carry through programs of food production this year; the Department does not believe the situation yet demands the employment of women fcr the heavier farming op
erations. Rather, it believes that efforts now should be directed toward persuading able-bodied men in the cities to do farm work and that community action should be directed to this end. . - . ' - '-. But there will "be work to do for the thousands of, women who are offering to help the farmers with their big task. Helping farm women with their added duties and taking the place of men in the lighter industries, thus releasing male .labor for the farms, are important "ways in which women may aid agriculture's war program, department officials point out. Furthermcre, women can be expected to help, as they have In the past, with the lighter work of truck farming, in picking and packing berries and fruit and with much other light labor of food production. But if a serious labor shortage threatens the harvest of the country's food crops the Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Department of Labor and other Federal and State agencies, will request women to help meet the situation. It has instructed its field agents to aid farmers in obtaining women workers when such conditions arise. Among the sources from which additional labor may be obtained- on the farms are: (1) , from among the women already on farms; (2) from relatives of farmers who are living in cities and who are willing to work on farms during slack business or industrial periods; (3) from the foreign women who are accustomed to work in the fields under a system of intensive agriculture before migrating to this country; and (4) from women in nearby villages and towns who might be employed on farms and still live at home. ' The farmer desiring woman laborers should indicate the kind of work which he wants done, the amount, and the probable dates and wages offered,
and the woman offering herself should indicate the kinds of work she Is will-
