Col lege boys are proving invaluable help on the big Connecticut Valley tobacco plantations during the harvest season which is now at its height. First and second year Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Darthmouth men, "working their way," find that harvesting tobacco, is more congenial than collecting fares or guiding trolley cars. ; The collegians re ceive from 12.25 to $2.75 a day. Their expenses are light and net savings satis factory. ' x ' .! .. Tobacco growers regard college men as desirable harvest help. They are en thusiastic and set a standard of effi ciency which the indillcrent worker must meet. ' - j The most acute phase of the labor problem in the tobacco belt is the short age of young women to string the green tobacco leaves. The tobacco grower who lets it become known that college men are working on his plantation re ceives a surprisingly large number of applications for employment from women and girls. :"' Next season the experiment of em ploying college girls in the tobacco fields will be tried.
