Neel Gcaduatia Counselor Louis H. Bell Tuesday, April 6, 1943, Another Penn State Role Penn State is doing its part to relieve the short age of farm labor in the state. Already the Col lege has trained 106 itinerant farm assistants during the past few months and these workers have now been placed on Pennsylvania farms, (Remember those men who ' walked around campus and downtown in overalls? That was their classroom costume. A large part of the last sec tion was from Kentucky, and their College in •s traction consisted of practical work in studying 'dairy farming, poultry raising, farm livestock, farm machinery repair, and other work with reg ular College farm .workers. The Farm Security Administration, sensing the -need for -additional farm labor, has -taken these men; -from farms In other sectioiis,. given' therii transportation, room, board, medical cate, and. •specialized farm training for a two-weelc period.

Even in peacetime much of the valuable training and research on 'the “hill” is overlooked. Everyone has to eat, and feeding the populace is the task of the farmer. Penn State’s courses in agriculture rate among 'the highest in the East. And in the war, when manifold problems arise, the Ag School is doing i ts part by training men from sub-marginal farms, as well as farm assistants, for jobs with other farmers, or for doing a better job. on their own. farms after seeing the way it’s done at Penn State, ways of farming here and gone back to their. Fifty Pennsylvanian boys have learned better farms; three groups of Kentuckians have ac quired some additional knowledge, and a mixed group of 33 has also taken courses here. They' have been placed in cases where they aren’t al- • ready settled. ' War training isn’t Penn State’s only extension activity; agricultural extension has been going on for years, and training itinerant farm workers is only a branch of the big Ag program. Flans To Be Made There. was an attitude. on campus back at the beginning of the semester which is just now ready lo show its effects. No one thought it too wise to look too far into the future concerning campus organisations and activities. “Wait "until April when we can judge just what arrangements to make for next semester,” was the general opinion. This attitude was a logical one. Fraternities, honoraries, hat societies, and even student gov ernment were and are faced with an uncertain future. Under present conditions it is very diffi cult to plan too far ahead. Thus arose the “wait and see’ policy. But now the waiting is over and all of the see ing should be done quickly. Enrollment figures for next semester have been estimated and should hold fairly true. Plans should be made now so that they can benefit from the experience which will leave with the seniors who graduate or are called out of school next month ■April is the month for spring cleaning and vic tory garden planting. At Penn State April is the month for campus curriculumris and activities to prepare themselves for the Summer semester. Some will be forced to disband, other's to consoli date, and still others will be able to continue as usual. Strictly coed organizations should expand. And now the time has come which was waited Had looked for. Action please. —R. D. S. Downtown Office 110-121 South St. PhOUe <487& fflHfiKitiimmmiimitmnmunwiiiHHUiiuuuninuHMun«uufflW!iiMniuiunH« ii?
