Farmer a ole
In Helping to Win War
Repairing of Machinery, Conservation, and
Improved Farm Gardens Listed as Best
Methods of Aiding in Emergency.
By BAUKHAGE
National Farm and Home Hour Commentator.
WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N-W,
Washington, D. C.
America's two important weapons
against her enemies in the long war
we see ahead of us today are the
assembly line and the farm. In
Washington in the department of
agriculture a war cabinet has been
created for Secretary Wickard
made up of the heads of the action-
agencies--the agencies that are cre-
ated to help the farmer do things.
"We, in Washington, can't do
a thing by ourselves," said an of-
ficial to me. "We can't grow a bush-
el of wheat or raise a peck of corn.
But we can line up behind the de-
partment's field men to help the
farmer in this emergency. We are
now organzed to put our maximum
effort into that kind of help."
The three most important things
for the farmer to do now, according
to Washington officials, are:
l--Repair Machinery
First, get agricultural machinery
repaired. SPAB has allocated ma-
terial for repmr parts. There is no
sign that these allocations will be
cut down but there is no chance of
increasing them. The farmers got
out record crops in 1940 and 1941
with their old machinery. They
can't do it a third year unless that
old machinery is repaired now. And
if it isn't repaired now it won't be
ready for spring.
2---Conservatlon
The second important word for
the farmer is conservation.
Get every piece of scrap metal off
the farm and into the hands of the
junk man. Watch your bagging.
Remember we mport jute and
there is likely to be decided short-
ages. Cotton can't entirely fill the
gap because the machines 'making
heavy cotton materials are being
utilized by the army. Save waste
paper, too. (This column is being
written on the back of a mimeo-
graphed newspaper release.)
3--The Farm Garden
And here is a third reminder: The
farm garden. Remember that there
is a sharp shortage on tin-plate.
Everything in the way of food that
you can preserve for yourself saves
the need of cans. Not only the
things that you can put in glass
ars but also root crops which can
be stored without the use of con-
tainers--carrots and turnips and
cabbages, too.
So much for what the farmer is
expected to do. Now what is going
to be done to the farmer?
In the first place he is going to,,
be asked to produce more with less
help. Secretary Wickard says that
goals in the "food-for-freedom"
program are just about right but
that they have to be reassayed in
the light of the war with the Axis.
Here are some of the main changes:
First of all, because we are go-
ing to be a harder-working nation,
on the home front and elsewhere,
an increased amount of vitamin-
contained strength-bringing vegeta-
bles will be needed.
The sugar situation will have to
be considered very carefully. We
may lose imports of a potential mil-
lion tons from the Philippines. The
Hawaiian islands as a sugar source
are uncertain. Much of the Cuban
sugar will have to be turned into
industrial alcohol• As to production
on the continent, the labor situation
--of which I shall say more later--
cuts deeply into that program, for
sugar labor is always rapidly ab-
sorbed by competing interests.
The supply of oils and fats is
another problem which may require
a reassaying of the food-for-freedom
program. Fats and oils make up a
heavy import from the East Indies.
They represent essentials as food
and also for manufacture--the oils
which go into the glycerin products
for explosives, the drying otis for
paints, for instance.
Farm Labor Problem
Of course, the worst problem the
farmer has to face, and te one
that must be solved before those
I have already mentioned, is the
labor problem.
Young, strong, mechanically mind-
ed young men are the backbone
of the successful farm. Young,
strong, mechanically minded young
men are the backbone of a success-
ful army. Especially a modern
army. The same segment of the
population is also needed in indus-
try.
This brings us back to the ques-
.ion of machinery. Farm machinery
m more important than it ever was.
We know that as Vice President
Wallace pointed out to me the other
day, and as the last two years' rec-
ords show, farmers can always
increase their output a lot without
buying new machinery if the mar-
ket justifies it and if they have
manual labor. But they can expand
their production only so far without
either more labor or more machines
and they can work the old machine
only so far before it breaks down,
unless it has particular care.
The farmers of America are be-
ing called upon to do agriculture's
biggest job in history. They need
all the machines that can be spared
from the factories now building
tanks and other supplies. They
need labor to take the place of the
boys called from the farm to the
factory and the battlefield.
Land Army of Women?
Already efforts are being made to
fill the demand. Among others,
Mrs. Roosevelt's land army of wom-
en, as one official puts it, does not
look as funny as it did when the
idea was first put forth. But at this
writing I have been unable to learn
anything fdrther of the plans for a
land army of women from civilian
defense headquarters here. And it
has to be a trained army before it
can help the farmer.
What steps are being taken to re-
place the brain and brawn which
the war is taking away from the
farm?
The department of agriculture is
working wRh county committees
and defense boards to establish
closer co-operation with national,
state and local employment service.
The farm placement organization
has been expanded.
Farm placement services are be.
ing set tP in 11 regions. Within
these 11 groups of states, placement
representatives are being appoint-
ed. Federal Security Administrator
Paul McNutt has sent out a call for
specialists in farm-job problems.
He expects to install one in each of
the nation's !,500 full-time state em-
ployment offices.
Although I cannot state anything
official on the subject at present it
can be safely predicted that con-
gress will be asked for additional
.appropriations for adult education
in agriculture.
As this is being written efforts
are being made to obtain a ruling
from the Selective Service adminis-
tration which would put skilled
farm laborers on the same basis
when considerel for deferment
from the draft as are skilled indus-
trial workers.
Here's an Answer
With Logic Aplenty
A neuropsychiatrist on one of the
Medical Advisory boards had oc-
casion to examine a registrant from
one of the county local boards. The
doctor passed him.
But when the registrant was sent
to Fort Shelling for induction, he
was rejected by a neuropsyehiatrist
there as being neurotic. The local
board, thinking the doctor who orig-
inaUy passed the man would be in-
terested, notified him to that effect.
The doctor was curious as to the
reason, and asked the local board
to send the registraBt to see him
again.
"So they wouldn't take you st
Fort Shelling," Dr. Kamman said.
"Nah," the registrant replied.
"One of those nervous doctors threw
me out. Asked me a couple of fool
questions and wouldn't pass me."
"And vhat did he ask you?" Dr.
Kamman inquired.
"Well, first he asked me, 'What
would you do if one of your ears
was shot off?'
"So I said, 'Guess I maybe couldn't
hear very well.'
"Then he said, 'And what would
you do if both ears were shot off?'
"So I told him, 'Then I guess I
couldn't see so good.' "
Even Dr. Kamman hesitated at
this one. Then he ventured, "After
all, that was kind of an odd answer.
What in the world made you say
thing like that?"
The registrant was affronted. He
explained patiently, "Well, if both
ears were shot off, my hat would fall
down over my face, and then I
couldn't see."
BRIEFS .,. • By Baukhae ]
The following letter has been re-
ceived by the department of agri-
culture: "I would like to get some
advice on poultry concerning ducks.
I lost 2 ducks and it looks like I am
going to loose the rest. I had 5 to
start with. The 3 one seems to have
the same as the others they get so
full of water then it looks like there
is no hope please send me some
advice by return mail."
(I. Cecil Davidson, 18-year-old farm
boy of Moore county, Texas, has
built himself an adobe house for
$120, the department of agriculture
reports. The young man is a sopho-
more at the West Texas State col-
lege, and worked on the structure
during his summer vacation and
week-ends. Davidson used 2,000
hand-made adobe bricks in the un-
qertaking.
\\;
It Had To Happen;
Boat In Basement
Minor -- Frank Ratzlaff and O}-
ver Walstad recently completed the
building of a boat 16 feet long in
a basement.
When they wet to take the
boat out, they ran into difficul-
ties. The doer of the basement was
too low and the floor too high, so
the boat remains right there. They
may have to move the house off
the basement if they ever get their
craft out.
RABBIT MARKET
HITS 30 CENTS
Devils Lake -- Prime jackrabbits
are now bringing 30 cents each from
produce buyers, the highest price
ever offered in this community. The
byers resell the carcasses to other
huyers for skinning and final mark-
eting. The bulk of the meat is used
for fox feed while the fur is used
for coat and dress trimmings. Farm.
era say the jacks are scarce because
of organized hunts in previous
years.
Hogs Mutilate Body Of
Rancher Who Drops Dead
Garrison--Mflt Smith, 64, an early
day rancher of McHenry county,
north of Garrison, died of a heart
attack while at work in his pig
pen. Before the body was found,
the hogs had badly mutilated it.

wer from burning. The boys dis.

house and put it out by forming a

War, Writes Home
Bowesmont -- Several days after
receiving official notice from the
navy that their son, Melvin, had
been lost in action, Mz, and Mrs.
James Nicholson received a letter
saying he was safe following the
raid on Pearl Harbor,

Istration has stopped the noon.day
naps of statehouse employees in the
habit of bolting lunch and grabbin8

It was convenient for the lunch
hour is 90 minutes, leaving nearly
an hour for resting. Now a sign
has been posted, "Do not sleep on
these benches."
Mohall Delays Plans
For Hospital Project
Mohall -- Members of the finance
and health committee of the Com.
munity Chest who had been work.
ing for establishment of a commun.
ity hospital, have decided to let the
project drop until the end of the
war. Reasons cited were rising pri-
ces, defense needs and the city's
duty to participate in the national
war effort.
Making Restitution,
Shoplifters Released
LaMoure -- Two shoplifters were
released from the counry jail after
they returned clothing stolen from
a LaMoure street. They had been
held from Wednesday to Friday. One
man was from Missouri, the other
from Montana.
