AGRICULTURAL WORK

In accordance with the nation-wide movement towards utilization of all land twenty members of the faculty have secured land from the College for the cultivation of potatoes. Each man will hoe and care for 1-2 acre of potatoes. The horse work will be carried on under the direction of the general manager Professor C. P. Clark. The proceeds above all expenses are to be contributed to some relief work. The cultivated fields will be located on the Hitchcock estate.

Members of the faculty committee on food supply are to confer with farmers in the vicinity of Hanover and urge them to increase the cultivated land in this neighborhood. Many farmers it has been ascertained, are anxious to do this, but are being restrained by the shortage of labor.
