Do not be disconcert ed If you are found fault with, or put on work you do not like. Think of the men In th trenches, and on the sea, and what they have to do. They do not disobey officers, or shirk their duty. Your employer Is your officer and you must obey him. "Agriculturally it sterns to come to about this," the article continue "that though women have b-en abls during the emergency of war to make themselves decldely useful as farm helpers and have succeeded actually displacing, according to an official estimate, the labor of 30,000 men, they have not established for themselves any permanent Industrial position' in farming. When pease comes, bringing with It, an It most assuredly will, a rush of men to the land, the farmerettes will be r.boved aside as paid workers and lose their present places as reckoned factors in the national scheme of foodijprodnc tlon. Both Mr. Frotbeio jd Miss Talbot support this view. Meanwhile, however, mnch has ben leaijped con cerning women's capacities ifnd limi tations In farming. jj vSome women can do tractor plow ing well few women can do horee plowing well; nearly every woman excel Ia the management and car of stock, but only the sturdiest c! them can make themselves useful in mioh operations as bowing.; turnm previously holding themselves, an a class, the better of th. farmer and his wife. Among th. full-time work ers, however, there was no b o Imo gen I ty at all. .Many Vete acrtesses, eager to exchange artificialities of the footlights for the realities of tho land; many were painters, M-ritcrs, vantg; some were col luge students or teachers; very many were factory operators. There Is a farm In the English Midlands where the daught er of a clergyman works next to an actress, where a convent bred girl loads drays with a girl who had been a hotel cashier, wbere a gymnastic mistress, a teacher of domestic econ omy, a student of medicine and an aitist all weed onions together and discuss war marriages. "It was yearning for the country; its freshness, its honesty, its health, created or quickened or made pon nlble of fulfillment by the circum stances of war." What are the the women and girls of the Willamette valley willing to doto-ad their government under tlTtrstreH of war? ? f 9 .
