Pitching hay doesn’t really re quire Amazon muscles. This has been proven by the thousands of school - teacher, stenographers, clerks and housewives who have been farming recently, and haven’t been scaled off by a bull or a bettle. Once you’ve made up your mind that the sight of your dirty hands won’t shock you, all you need is a pair of overalls, a shirt, wide brimmed straw hat and low-heel ed, thick-soled shoes. When you apply at your local farm employment office or com municate with the Women’s Land Army in Washington, they will tell you where the time you can spare may best be utilized. You might help save a crop of beans of berries on a weekend. Or, you might prefer to work eve nings or on vacations. But don't be surprised if the crowing of a rooster gets in your blood and you discard your alarm clock like thou sands of other women and make farming a full time war job. In that event you can do a hir ed man’s share of the milking, feeding of livestock and general farm work. Many states offer training courses of from two to four weeks. No matter where you live there should be a crop job for you— cotton must be picked, corn shock ed, peanuts stacked and fruit har vested. Wages are determined by the prevailing rate on the amount and type of work you do. More than 350,000 women were placed on farms by the extension service farm labor program last year and an equal number are believed to have been recruited di ectly by farmers. In many areas, hundreds of thousands of farm workers have taken over the important part of the food production, but city and town girls have proved valuable assistants, especially at harvest time. This year, with demands of the armed forces and war industries causing even more food shortages, an estimated four million emergen cy workers are needed and of these 750.000 must be women, says the U. S Department of Agricul ture. COIDS Relieve misery, as most mothers do.
