FIELD-WORKERS IN THE WOMAN'S LAND ARMY OF FRANCE 



Wherever an acre in Flanders has escaped the torch of the invader the women of France 

 are exerting every effort to make the farms bring forth their utmost yield. A movement is 

 now on foot among the women of America to emulate this example of their sister farmers 

 in Allied lands.

Community driers have been established, ac- 

 cording to Mr. C. W. Pugsley, of the Univer- 

 sity of Nebraska, at Lincoln, Nebraska ; at 

 Belmont, Fremont, and University Place, Ne- 

 braska, and Glidden, Iowa. 



It is suggested that the householders in a 

 community cover with their first pound orders 

 the whole list of manufacturers, and by com- 

 paring notes and samples they will soon dis- 

 cover which are the best for their uses. 



The fact should always be kept in mind 

 that this dried-vegetable industry is a 

 new one, and that the quality of the 

 product produced by the different firms 

 varies greatly. Some are, no doubt, 

 doomed to failure, whereas others are so 

 excellent that they are bound to succeed. 

 To praise or condemn all makes of dried 

 vegetables from the sampling of a few 

 brands is to generalize too quickly.
