Excerpt from Columbia War Papers: Series I
The world faces a serious food problem. The reports of the International Agricultural Institute show that for the first time in many years there exists a serious deficit in the total available world supply of corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats. This deficit is estimated by David Lubin to be about bushels less than the normal requirements for countries open to trade. The problem is more than a general one. It is one which we at home in America must face. The crop report just issued indicates that the supply of wheat will be more than bushels less than last year's supply. In Kansas and Nebraska, the winter kill and drought have made heavy inroads into the total product of those states.
Coupled with this is the general shortage in farm labor. In the Middle West the general industrial development has 'drained the worker from the farm into the factory. In the North Atlantic states the production of war munitions and other war supplies has taken men from the farms. In the South the negroes have been leaving for the North for work on northern railways and other enterprises where they have been offered profitable returns for their labor.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of school children in food production during World War I. At a time when the United States faced a serious food deficit, the author argues that school children could play a vital role in alleviating the shortage by assisting in farming efforts. The book discusses the ways in which children can help, such as planting, harvesting, and working in gardens. It also addresses the challenges of organizing and supervising children's involvement in agricultural work and explores the broader implications of children's participation in the war effort. Ultimately, the book argues that school children can make a significant contribution to the war effort and that their involvement should be encouraged and supported.
