ILABOUR ON THE FARMS.
I LABOUR ON THE FARMS. In another column appears a letter from the Secretary of the South Wales Branch of the Agricultural Organisation Society relating to the employment of women on the land. It is a question, the urgency and im portance of which cannot be overlooked. It is pretty evi- dent that the shortage of ag- ricultural labourers is becoming, if it has not already become, very acute, and, un- less it can be made good, we see very little likelihood of farmers being able to carry out the Government's demand to increase their acreage under the plough. Indeed, in many instances, we believe, the chief concern is how, with depleted staffs, the farm can be made to produce its normal yield. To win the war we must have soldiers, and the farmer with others is expected to spare as many men as he can I to tlic recruiting officer. At the same time lie is asked by the Board of Agricul- ture to increase his crops and prod uce. Without adequate labour how is he to do this? An important suggestion for the supply of labour is made in the letter to which we refer. An earnest effort is be- ing III a de to enlist as many women as pos- sible to help with farm work,' and a scheme has i.een launched by the Board of Agriculture, acting in conjunction with the Board of Trade. A Women's Com- toittee eo-opernting with the County War Agricultural Committees will be appoint- ed and a canvass made in all the villages. Meetings, explanatory of the scheme, will be held in Breconshire and Radnorshire, and as these meetings will be addressed by NN-oineii orgiiiisers, specially acquaint- ed with the work, the effort ought to go a long way to meet the difficulty. The manner in which British women have adapted themselves to the situation crea- ted by the war and the new conditions of Mfe has been as wonderful as it is com- mendable. Women are now doing effic- ient service in nearly all branches of our country's business—in banks, offices, on the railways, omnibus and tramcar, and even in engineering works, of course, sub- stituting men, who have gone to the forces. They are doing-their duty gallant- ly in the hour of their country's need. The ideas held but a few years ago that women could never do this, that, or the other, have been swept aside by the doing of it. Shall we see the same in regard to the land? If farmers have some antiqua- ted prej udices against women labour—we do not know that they have—such must go, for necessity demands new conditions. The nation's interest must be the first and last consideration. The real question is to what extent women can take the place of men at farm work. A farmer with 2<M) acres of arable land at Rainford, near Ormskirk, in applying to a tribunal for exemption for a team's man, said he had three daughters who helped on the farm. One was a regular plough-woman. In another case a representative of a firm of the Burscough Farmers and Merchants stated that they were now employing 30 women on their farms to replace men who had already enlisted. What can be done on one farm can surely be done on ano- ther. Time, was in our counties when women were more generally engaged at farm work than has been the custom of the last decade or so. The introduction of labour saving machinery has very like- ly, to a large extent, been responsible for this, but under the present circumstances with the continual draw on the manhood of the country women, if we mistake not, will find a way of working machinery. Although we have quoted an' instance of a woman ploughing we should not care to see one tackling the heavy soils of these counties—the idea i5 too preposterous- but we shall not be surprised to see women driving the mower, tedder, hay gatherer, horse rake, or, indeed, following the har- row. They could certainly set potatoes, drill in the mangel and turnip seed, single or weed, and who more suitable for tending the cattle and sheep? The doing of the work bv women seems to us not so difficult a question as enlisting them. We can scarcely expect a big response from the large towns. It would be extremely difficult for town women to adapt them- sel ves to such strange conditions at once, and the immediate need must be met by those from the country districts who are already, more or less. acquainted with the work. Hence, the appeal for the loyal co-operation of the people in the villages. This is essential* if the scheme is to be a success.
