MEN HELPING
REAP HARVESTS
IN JE SOUTH
LOS ANGELES.—Four hundred
and sixty-five “Farmerettes” were
sent out from the Southern Cali
fornia branch of the Women’s Land
Service here from May 1 to July 17
last, to aid California ranchers in
: their efforts to increase the coun
try’s food supply. Nearly all of
i these have remained in the service
and as proof that these young wo
| men are capably filling the places
j of men called into the army or other
activities of the service that many
of their requests for help came from
ranches near those to which units
had previously been sent.
Volunteers in the Women's Land
army sent out from Los Angeles in
elude teachers, stenographers, sales
women, waitresses and school girls.
Most of them have been employed
in gathering and preparing for mar
get deciduou fruits. Activities of
others have included driving trac
tors, dairying, planting tomatoes,
harvesting various crops and making
hay. In one of the first units form
ed was a young woman who pre
viously had in her employ a French
maid. The latest word received at
service headquarters frjm l or was
that she had just completed a thir
teen hour day picking up and sack
ing potatoes.
The dairy industry has taken a
large number in daires near Los An
geles women have largely replaced
men as milkers. Of the first units
sent to the dairies only a few of
the young women had milked before
and most of them were unaware
that there is a “wrong” as well as
a “right” side to a cow until they
had been kicked over by outraged
animals. Two young women after
picking themselves up from the side
of the stable opposite to that where
they had begun operations, promptly
resigned. Some of the others, at
latest reports were milking as many
as twenty-six cows twice daily. One
recruit surprised her employer by
milking twenty cows the first night.
She had been employed in a cafe
teria up to the time of joining the
service.
The standard wage for dairy
workers is $45 a month with board
and lodging; that for general agri
cultural workers is $60 a month
without board or lodging. Those en
gaged in picking and preparing fruit
for market are paid on a piece work
basis.
The demand for dairy workers, it
was said at the service headquarters
exceeds the supply. All requests for
help for general farm work are met
promptly.

AT JULIUS CREEK;
TRAINS CROSS IT.
Bridge Spanning Julius Creek Is Now 3
Completed and Track Is Laid | ^
Beyond It.
The finishing touches were put 1
on the 156-foot trestle spanning |
Julius creek last Thursday evening, i
rails were placed in position and (
the work of tracklaying on the right j
of way beyond this bridge was re- 1
! sumed.
For some distance before reach
ing the bridge and far a considerable
distance after crossing it. the grade j
had been completed under contract, j
but owing to the fact that the only j
material obtainable in the neighbor- j
hood for building up the grade was I
of a very poor quality, it was found ''
that the roadbed had a tendency to !
give and spread under the weight
of the locomotive and the gravel
cars.
To make the road bed stable a
large quantity of logs, of which
there is a plentiful supply in the
neighborhood, was used and the road
built up and raised to the proper
grade level after the rail had been
laid with a liberal use of the gravel
brought on the cars from the drag
line camp.
The work of railroad building
where the line has to be cribbed up
with logs and built up to grade
later with gravel from the pit, is
of course necesarily a little slower
than usual. The soft places will be
steadily got over and it is expected
that some well built grade, com
pleted under cotract, will soon be
reached, when the work of ex
tending the railroad will move along
about twice as fast as it does now.
Up to the time the day gang quit
work yesterday, about eight hundred
feet of track had been laid beyond
the Julius creek bridge.
