camps more than one), provision for disposal of camp wastes, ade- 
quate and safe toilet facilities, should be provided. 
Provision of a dwelling for year-round employees should be 
more widely recognized by farmers as a means of attracting and 
holding steady labor. Such a structure must be reasonably well built 
and conveniently arranged for the woman of the family. A wife 
dissatisfied with her home can do much to make her husband discon- 
tented with his job. (See fig. 9.) 
There should be means of enforcing school attendance of children 
of farm workers, a difficult problem in connection with children of 
migratory families. Public financial aid to destitute families to 
enable them to keep their children in school might be advisable. 
In the placing of at least noncasual labor, there is much need for 
a generally used method to bring together farm jobs and men well 
fitted for them, to the end that the employer may be better satisfied 
with his employee, the employee better satisfied with and more effi- 
cient on his job, and labor turnover lower. The development and 
use of trade tests as a means of determining in advance something 
of an applicant's fitness for his work would seem to be of decided 
advantage for these purposes. These tests would have to be varied 
to suit practices in different localities and types of agriculture. 
Public employment, offices are potentially better agents for fitting 
job and workers than private agencies by the very nature of their 
purposes and activities. 
The same public agencies might also act as agents to disseminate 
practical advice and information as to means of improving working 
conditions on farms.
