With the close of the grape season in western New York, this year marked the first time since the World war that school children have been widely used as a source of farm labor. Students and faculty of the Fredonia Normal school in New York turned out en masse dur ing the apple season to harvest the fruit High school students of Manas sas, Vs., harvested the uncut hay and corn of Fairfax county, Vir ginia. Scores of Washington, D. C high school boys worked throughout the summer on farms in Montgomery county, Md. High school ' girls working with the American Women's Volunteer services hired out as farm hands in California during the summer. South Not Hit So Hard And Texas and Florida school children still have farm work ahead of thera In the winter months, although the adult lab or shortage has not been so seri ous in the south as in New Eng land, New York, New Jersey, the west coast and the western sugar beet states. Farm labor has been drained off the farms in every part of the country where war indus tries are concentrated. Several months ago representatives of the children's bureau of the De partment of Labor, the Depart ment of Agriculture, the Office of Education and the U. S. Em ployment service held a confer ence in Washington to consider the possibility of using children on farms. Fair labor standards were set up by this group to insure chil dren again exploitation. As a result, thousands of children 14 years of age and over were used in various localities throughout the country to pick berries, peaches, apples, tomatoes and Eraoes. New York nad , gtate-wide program, which wa5 pasaed by the legislature last year. It al lows children over 14 years ot age on farms 30 school days a year, providing they ao not work more than 15 days at one time. The children ot the state are mobilized into "the cadet victory service," and are given a chance to work on day hauls, live on farms, or in work camps. According to the children's bureau, the first method of using children on the day-to-day basis was most widely used. In the Buffalo, Dunkirk, James town, N. Y., and Erie, Pa., area, where the labor shortage is ex treme, the U. S. Employment Service broadcast appeala each day for help. A few adults and many children reported early the next day, and worked day-today shifts on surrounding farms. One difficulty arose: farmers were used to paying their help at the end of the season, and these workers had to be paid each day. Farmers often were caught short without change. Lived With Farmers In Montgomery county, Mary land, a group of Washington school boys lived all summer on neighboring farms. They re ceived some instruction in school before they were sent out to work. Soma of them became good farmers during the vaca tion. A number of New York City boys ot high school age were housed in work camps in the Hudson Valley this summer, and Safety Boxes Fot Your Bonds At Lawrence's Former Jackson County Bank Vault "oy our delicious and ham dinner MEAT Sfr: -&V.- '.I. i . , . !;., .V , V Wi .,' ,i anSSslna.a.iS ! .JLfcifcdila.

But with shortage in Sal' Francisco the customer now makes this auery of the butcher. gathered fruit for farmers with insufficient labor. The best project was that carried on by the Fredonia nor mal school near Buffalo. The faculty and students spent 10 days pricing fruit. There was a canteen and nursing service at tached to the group, and the dean of women and a corps of assistants acted as counsellors to iron out any difficulties. Far mers considered the help of this group excellent. In Manassas, Va., the agricul tural instructor paired off city and farm children in teams, nominating an agricultural stud ent as leader of each unit. This method proved highly satisfac tory. From the experience govern ment and school authorities had with children as farm hands this summer they learned that there should be a careful selection of young workers, who are physl cally enough developed to stand up under the strain of long hours of work. There were many acci dents with pitchforks .this sum mer mat might he eliminated it careful instruction Is given chll dren before they start work. Farmers have to guarantee safe transportation.
