National registration of women
available for work on farms is plan
ned by tlio Dopartmont of Labor as
ono of tho advance stops in a cam
paign to obtain a sufficiency of farm
labor for overy section of the country
during tho coming Hoason.
A. L. Dorkman, chief of the division
of farm sorvlco, announced that overy
effort will bo made to meet tho ex
pected shortago of farm labor by u
plan to mobilize tho available won
and women In every community In
tho country.
A special farm service man will bo
stationed In moat of tho 05 fodarul
employment ugonclos of the- country,
Mr. Eerkman said, and in nddltion
postofflcos in the small farming com
munities will bo usod as recruiting
t stations, tho postmastor or Homo other
roproeontatlvo clttzon acting ns comi
munlty labor agent.
"Tho most serious farm labor shoii
ago last yoar waa in tho east," otiid
Mr. Dorkman. "Tho Industrios thoro
filling war orders took mon who oth
erwise would have boon available for
farm work by tho offer of attractive
wages. The farmers will havo to in
crease, wages more than they havo to
goi men 10 come irom mo cities, nicy
have not raised wages anywhere I.i
proportion to their increase in prolltB."
Wornon, Mr. Horkman continued
will bo needed for truck gardening
fruit gardonlng, dairying and other
light forms of labor, but they will not
bo called upon for tho heavy work so
long as mon aro avallablo.
"Tho collogo girls and women of
. tho loisure classes who aro ready to
respond to a call for workers as a
matter o pat-lotic sorvlco," Mr. Bork-
;nmn said, "must ho doponded upon
chlofly for tho woman labor that will
tbe needed."
