allied countries There no other way to war

American farmer can do it, with the help
and advice Of the government. just he did it last
year, and probably better. The department agrt-
culture promises that the ranks of farm labor will not
be further depleted next spring by the
seectve draft and the forces of workers will be
ganized and moved from point point, wherever the
farm labor load is greatest during the planting and
harvesting
1t is pointed that this help be effectively
supplemented by general use of farm tractors
The farmers urged buy machinery despite
its high cost in the certainty that they will be amply
repaid in larger liberal prices pro

plies of fertilizer them greater
area and greater Intensity of cultivation made possible
