IMAKE IT FASHIONABLE.
I MAKE IT FASHIONABLE. We notice that the War Agricultural Committees of Breconshire and Radnor- shire have had under consideration the question of meeting the shortage of lab- our on the farms. Particularly has the question of the employment of women claimed attention, and a scheme, men- tioned in our columns some weeks ago, has been adopted. We hope the move- ment will be thoroughly encouraged and whole-heartedly supported, for, this and co-operation, appears to us to be the most practicable means so far devised of meeting what is, undoubtedly, a very serious difficulty. We note in the minds of some members of the committees a dubiety as to the success of the scheme. This is only to be expected since the conditions of farming in Whales are very different to 'England. Labour-saving machinery cannot be used to anything like the extent it is on the lighter soils of the wider plains across the border, whilst the size of the farm staffs—which in Wales are comparatively small—affords greater scope for the employment of women. As we have previously said, the ordinary Welsh farmer in normal times engages only a small staff-in many cases a man or two, who in almost every instance will be found "skilled" men, and without which no farm of any pretension can very well be carried on. The call of the Army is hitting farmers generally pretty hard, so far as labour goes, and they would do well to give evet'y support to the scheme now adopted. This is to enlist as many women as pos- sible to help with farm work. A Women's Committee, co-operating with the War Agricultural Committee, is ap- pointed, and a canvass will be made in all the villages. Meetings, to explain the scheme, will be held and addressed by women organisers who are specially versed in farm work. Whatever prejudices farmers may, or may not have had against women labour must go by the board. That the farms should be maintained and produce increased is the nation's interest and this after all, let it be remembered, is the first and last consideration at the present time. Furthermore, a fair wage must be paid, for perhaps it was a short- coming in this respect that helped to "send out the fashion." Farmers move slowly. Lord Selborne told a deputation last week that they were warned last August that this "pinch" was coming, but they did absolutely nothing to meet it. They made no efforts, he said, to train women. They sat still. According to Mr Bache they are evidently moving in Cardiganshire, for he tells us that he saw scores of women doing the wor k usually done by men on the larms in that county. We have no doubt a lot of such work is now being done by farmers' wives and daughters in Breconshire and Radnor- s hire, but we agree with Mr W. S. Miller that more might be done by women. Mr Miller thinks that it is largely a matter of "a false sentiment having got into peo- ple's heads that there is something de- grading in field work." Mr Miller is not usually given to unconsidered views, and we may be sure that he has good ground for making the statement. To what is the "false sentiment" due? Here is a new subject -(or controversy in our correspondence column. This is not the time nor the hour for false sentiment. We feel sure it is only necessary to re- mind our women that their help on the land is needed to carry us through to victory to find a response equal to that already found in other branches of our country's business in which women are doing useful and efficient service. Let work on the hmd be made the fashion by all means.
Notes and Notions.
Notes and Notions. February's rainfall in Crickhowell was 5.6.5 inches. Many Presteign townsmen set sail for active service last week. No less than 5.42 inches of rain fell at Talgarth during February. Primroses have just been picked on the Llan- afan road, three miles above Builth. Lieut. Vernon Hughes (Royal Welsh Fusiliers) was home on leave at Brecon last week. Private Edalia Evans (Walton), who was badly wounded at the Dardanelles, has just returned home. i Trine Valley Hounds met at Bucknell on Tues- dav. Tlicv also meet again at Duttas on Friday (11 a.m.). Lance-Corpl. Elwyn Price (Beulah), Glamor- gan Royal Engineers, has just been promoted corporal. "Blackwood's Magazine" for February contain- ed a very interesting article on" Usings Without Method. Scotland and Wales have similar river-namee. Both have a, Dee, and whilst Aberdeenshire has its Ythan. Radnor hae its Ithon. Radnorshire and West Herefordshire Hounds met at the Red Lion. Brillev. on Monday. They also meet at "Ladylift" on Friday (11.30 a.m.). Mr Arthur Taylor (Presteign), who enlisted in the A.S.C. a short time ago. has been promoted to staff-<"|iiartermaster-sergeant. and is now at Salonica. Mrs E. Baynham (headmistress of Norton School) has just received :i grateful letter from a soldier at the front, expressing thanks for a much appreciated parcel. A Llandrindod soldier at the front writes how a Turkish prisoner was found, when captured, to be wearing as a belt an arm-rest strap taken from a first-class London and North Western carriage. How came he by it? Mr Frederick Grundy, the American newspaper correspondent, who brought a successful action for wrongful dismissal against his employers in Lon- don this week, is a son of the late Mr Frank Grundy, sometime manager of the old Mid- Wales Railway Company. He was educated at Christ College, Brecon. The cause of the married man who, having at- tested, looks to the country to shoulder his hon-le, responsibilities, was ably championed by "LondoD Opinion" in a fine cartoon last week. On the front cover was one of those quaint drawings by Alfred Leete, who shows the "hun-pecked" Turk complaining that he has one wife too many. 9k At the Town Hall. Llandovery, on Tuesday, presentations were made to Privates W. R- Thomas and Maelgwyn Evans (1 /4th Welsh), both of whom served in the Dardanelles. rrhe presentations were made, on behalf of the sub- scribers, by Mrs Stewart (wife of Major Stewart. D.S.O.) and Mrs Edmondes-Owen (wife of the vicar). Mr John Hinds, on Tuesday night, asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he was aware that the tribunal for the LlandilO' fawr district in Carmarthenshire conducted itS proceedings en camera, and whether he would take immediate steps to request the tribunal tO comply with the regulations. The President promised to communicate with the tribunal on the matter. He was a cyclist doing Radnorshire, and called at a farm-house for a glass of water, but the farmer's smiling daughter offered him a glass of milk instead. "Won't you have another glass she asked, after he had drunk it. "You ar £ veff 'kind," said the cyclist, "but I am afraid I sliall rob you." "Oh, no," was the reply, "we have so much more than we can use ourselves that we al- ways give it to the calves." A story is told of a commercial traveller who rang the bell at a Breconsbire hotel, and, address- ing the boy who answered it, said "I want tbe boots. You're not the hoots, surely?" "No." replied the boy in buttons—"I'm the socks." "Socks I You impudent rascal, what do you mean?" asked the traveller. "Why," was 'the I reply, "you see, sir, I'm the socks, because Tril under the boots. 2fc 5k 3k At the first meeting of the Colliery Workers' Tribunal for Monmouthshire, on Thursday, all applicant from Blaengelly Colliery (Breconshire). for the exemption of his son, said his son and himself constituted the whole staff at the col- liery. He admitted he had four other men and not one had gone. Mr Tall Ia Don't you think you ought to spare one of your sons to your coun- try?—No, sir.—I think you should.—Exemption granted. Temporary-Lieutenant T. N. B. Jones (8th Battalion South Wales Borderers), who has been gazetted to a commission in the Regular Army under Paragraph 3 of Army Order 333, of 1915- is the eldest son of Canon and Mrs Jones, of the Rectory, Gellygaer, and was educated at LJan- daff Cathedral Schoo] and Llandovery College. He won the first prize for the mile race at Llan- doerv (open), and was bracketed for the ladies' medal for efficiency in the college sports in 1909. An applicant before the Colwyn Tribunal said his employee would make a very good soldier, but he walked like "quarter to three." This is not the only instance we have heard of want of con- fidence in the "military step." At a local rural Tribunal last week a. member, eyeing a bright, fine farm boy, remarked—"You would make A, fine soldier for Lord Kitchener. I am sure your hea.rt is in the Armv. "Yes, sir," came the re- ply, "but my feet be a bit awkward." At a Mid-Wales military tribunal, an elderly man, who recently developed symptoms of lame- ness, entered the court holding his knee, and had to be provided with a chair. Conversation en- sued thus Chairman "You wish to have your son "You find you are not quite so able for your work as you were?"- "That is so, sir." Chairman (addressing court) "I think I have seen the applicant not quite so lame as he is to-day." Military Representative "It o Tribunalitis, sir." Captain the Hon. Roland Philipps, who was re- ported wounded last week, is first an evangelist a.nd a politic-an afterwards. His whole life i9 swallowed up in proclaiming the goods news of the Gospel among the poorest, and he is widely known as a preacher. AU who have come in touch the Gospel amo )nfic r A]l han-e come In totjcjl with the "Optimist," as he is sometimes called. speak of him as one of their most cherished friends. The news of his injury came as a pain- ful shock to hundreds who had worked with him all over South Wales. Second-lieutenant Cecil H. Broadbent. 4th (Territorial) Battalion King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, has died as the result of an acci" dent when practising bomb throwing behind the trenches. Lieut. Broadbent was the second eon of the late Mr James Broadbent and of Mr* Broadbent, of Old Colwyn. North Wales. He. was a classical master at Christ College, Brecon- from September, 1903, to July, 1906, when he ac- cepted a mastership at Bradford Grammar Scb490" Ho was then an excellent golf player and a minent member of the Brecon Club.
