!SOLVING THE FOOD PROBLEM.
_ The problem of feeding the na-
tions of Europe is paramount to the
many grave questions which have
arisen during the past winter. Lack
of men to work on the farms was
the difficulty.
As the United States now enters
the great world’s war, and the call
there is the gravest danger of addi-
tional scarcity of labor on farms and
a possible food shortage that would
seriously undermine the strength of
the nation and bring great disdster
bo this otherwise bountiful coun-
ye
With its millions of acreage in rick
farm land, America could feed the
world; but unless these farms are
planted and cultivated, the greatest
asset of the country is lost.
at once. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad has devised a plan that will
help to relieve the situation. :
Business firms will be urged not
only to give vacations to employes, |
service in helping to produce food!
products for the nation. The boys:
too young to enlist, or the man who!
is exempt from compulsory military
service, may be fit,in a thousand
ways for farm work, thus permitting
the city man not only to have his va-.
cation, but to contribute by working
on farms where farm labor is need-|
ed.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad,’
with full knowledge of the labor
shortage on farms in its territory, |
and realizing the increasing danger, |
Captain Troxal of Somerset, com-
mander of Co. C, 10th Regt. N. G. P.
was in town the first of the week and
secured three recruits for that com-
pany. The ‘‘rookies’’ are Leo Clark,
Joseph Hipp and John Hitshu.

About 115 p, m. on Wednesday
while Snperintendent Shultz of the
Economy Telephone company was
having a test taken of the line in Gar-
rett, R. 8S. Walker, a line man, had
climbed a pole near the telephone of-
fice, ané in reaching over the wires
to connect with an ontside wire his
wrist came in contact with the wire
of the El: ctric eompany. He fell to
the ground, a distance of 15to 18 feet,
but medical opinion was given that
death ensued by electrocution before
he fell.
My. Walker resided at Broadway
street, Meyersdale.
He was at once brought to Tress-
ler’s undertaking room in Meyers-
dale. : ‘
He was a member of the K. of P
T.odge and also of the Hays Reformed |
church. Funeral services will be held
in that church on Saturday, conduct-
ed} #ithe pastor, Rev. Wiant.
He is survived by his widow, two
daughters, Ada, who is married and
resides in Michigan, Miss Ela, at
home, and one son, Thomas of ‘and
some time ago formulated plans to- |
wards working out a solution to this
problem, and established a Farm.
Labor Bureau and Employment
Agency, which is a part of the Com-
mercial Development Department of
the company, working in conjunction
with the Triffic Department.
A list is being compiled giving
the name of each farmer on or near
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the
distance of his farm from the station;
the number of acres devoted to each
crop, including cereals, forage, vege-
tables and fruits; the amount of
farm labor needed for the kind of
work offered, and the dates when
needed, the rates of pay per day
with board and lodging.
To further the successful carrying
out of this plan, the railroad will
make a special fare as an inducement
to the city men who cannot serve
their country at the front, but who
lesivre to aid in the food branch of
the service. ° ok
Persons desiring to co-operate with
the government in this way, by work-
ing on farms, can secure full informa-
tion by applying to any agent or rep-
resentative of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. .
It is the plan of the railroad to
keep the United States government
posted on all of the details of ths
work as it progresses. :
