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 upon 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 la- bor 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 for the heavier farming op- erations. Rather, It believes that ef- forts now should be directed toward persuading able-bodied men in the cit- ies to do farm work and that commu- nity action should bo directed to this end. Work for Women. But there will be work to do for the thousands o_f women who are of- fering to help the fanners 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 program, department officials point out. ITurtUermoi'c,. wom- en can be expected to help, as they have in the past, with the lighter work of truck farming, in picking and pack- ing berries and fruit and with much other light labor of food production. But it it serious labor shortage threat- ens the harvest of the country's food crops the department of agriculture, in co-operation with Hie department of labor and other federal and state\ Agencies, will request women to help meet the situation. Tt has instructed its field agents to aid farmers in ob- taining women workers when such con- ditions arise. Among the sources from -which ad- ditional labor may be obtained on the farms are: (1) from among the wom- en already on farms; (2) from rela- tives of farmers who are living in cit- ies and who are willing to work 011 farms during slack business or Indus- trial periods; (3) from the foreign women who are accustomed to work In the fields under a system of inten- sive agriculture before migrating to this country; and (4) from women in near-by villages and towns who might be employed on farms and still live at home. If In any community it becomes nec- essary to employ women, the princi- ple problems to be met are to stimu- late women to take up farm work and to -make farmers realize the necessity of using woman labor in order to main- tain production. Wages for Women. The fanner desiring woman labor- ers should indicate the kind of work which he wants (lone, the amount, and Hie probable dates and wages ottered, and Hie woman ottering herself should indicate the kinds of work she is will- ing to do. and whether She is willing to work all day and every day in the week. If should be thoroughly under- stood by nil parties concerned that Hie women are to i-i'C-eive a wage oomil to Uuit.'g'VPrt nen for performim; the wiiiie amount of work. Wherever.pos- sible, this can be brought about by putting the work on the piece basis. 'The function of the home demonstra- tion agent and the \county agent is to see that the county exchange lists all women desiring work, as well as the farmers desiring women farm workers. If there were a sufficient demand in certain communities for women, one of the local woman committeemen might act as the medium of local ex- change. The home demonstration and county agents will also keep in touch with tile farm help specialist, employ- ed by the office of farm management of the department. She will be ready to advise the various committees as to whether the conditions under wlrich women work on farms are satisfactory, and not detrimental to thoir health and morals. Use Rag Doll Tester. The \rag doll' seed tester, a simple and reliable method of determining germination, will toll you whether your seed corn Is fit to plant- This method of testing corn is described in. detail in Farmers' Bulletin 948 of the de- partment of agriculture. Briefly it consists of a strip, of cloth, preferably bleached muslin, 10 inches wide and from 3 to 5 feet long. The cloth should be marked off into squared sec- tions and the squares all numbered. The cars to be tested should also be given corresponding numbers. Six or more kernels should be selected from different parts of each ear, and placed in the proper section. When the test- er is filled, fold over each side so that the edges meet in the center, roll up and soak the tester for a few hours in lukewarm water. Drain the excess water off, and place, the'dolls in a warm place to germinate. They should bo covered with a wet cloth to keep them moist, and in about five days should- be sufficiently well germinated to show their fitness for seed. Ready for Spring Drive? Have you ordered the necessary farm implements and machinery, lime, fertilizers, and the like? If not, do so'at once. Don't wait until the spring rush is upon you. It may he too fate then to get what you need. The Unit- ed States Department of Agriculture has. been urging farmers to make ar- rangements early for these materials this year because of transportation problems. It will soon be too late to ho early. % EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN | * . - »5- 41 As a rule the employment ot £ * women in farming^ operations j£ * should not be considered if the % * agricultural production can be * •St maintained by the employment ,£ I of men and boys.

Here is a group of suits for spring that even the unprneticed eye—at a glance—will perceive to be quite un- like the suits of yesterday. Their de- signers have wandered into green fields and pastures' new, gathering ideas, and are displaying the results of their wanderings now in suits that have many interesting style features. They appear to have centered atten- tion on coats and to have agreed that Bkirts shall be plain, hang straight, or show a little narrowing toward the bottom, and reach at least to the shoe top. In coats the most noticeable inno- vation is the uneven line at the bottom of the coat skirt. There Is only an occasional coat that is even at the bot- tom edge, but this variety is good style always. Another new feature in coals is the fitted-ln lines at the back, which are achieved by new methods of cutting and shaping, that almost vie with semifitted models in point of num- bers. There are many coats that fail to close at the front, and some whose only closing point is at the waistline. These open models are worn with light waistcoats in Some cases, or over blouses that are glimpsed to the waist. At the left of the picture a very graceful and clever coat has pointed fronts and its skirt is set on to a styles. Assortments are so' wide in suits that every woman may have the satisfaction of satisfying her own style and preferences when she makes a se- lection. The dressy, separate silk skirt has made a history for itself that insures its welcome every season, but its great day Is ushered In -with spring. Its rival, the sports skirt, has pro- moted it; success for the separate skirt of silk is sure and deserved, and there is no end to \the variety in silks and color combinations that make it a thing of beauty this spring. Two or three shades of one color in stripes and \plaids or- combinations of contrasting colors, or colors with cross- bars in black or white, in as many de- signs as we find in ginghams, make the choice unlimited, but \so far stripes have been developed into the most at- tractive of the new skirts. - The season is dominated by two styles, each with many variations. One is the skirt laid in plaits about the waistline and the other is the tunic skirt. The plaited skirt is not so new as the tunic', but it is too good look- ing, and may be fitted with too much good style for women to leave it out of their reckoning. Tunics,\ like coats, are usually un- even in length.. They are ingeniously Mean Better Yeilda'. Rood seed mens better yields and quality grain. Why plant scrub corn!. TUNIC SKIRT OF STRIPED SILK. double-breasted body ending iii a belt across the front. There is a little ripple in the skirt of the coat, which slopes -upward from the front and across the back. Some models of this kind are very short at the back. The collar and cuffs are of satin with white polka dots and the skirt narrows to- ward the hem. At the right of the picture the suit of serge maintains more mannish lines, but reverses the order of things shown In the other suit. Its coat slopes down in a curved line across the back, and is one of the longest models shown, It is worn over a low-cut vest ot white wash satin and has a satin overcollar. The edges are bound with narrow silk braid and strips of this braid, with two bone buttons finish the cuff. The skirt is plain and hangs < uhnost straight. Little sketches elsewhere in tiie P'c- t»re rewal the diversity' of the new draped and here the art of the de- signer either shines or fails. In the skirt shown above n single piece of silk is So well managed in the draping that the stripes run diagonally across the front and horizontally -across the back. A feature to be noted is the disposition of most of the fullness in (he tunic at the front of the skirt and the sash of silk, like the skirt, tied •in a bow of two loops, at the front of the waist. The square - end of the silk used for the tunic is cascaded at the left side and nicely finished with 11 row of small, flat buttons set close together. The underskirt is plain and narrow, merely two lengths of goods sewed- together, and finished with a three-inch hem.
