FARMERS WHO MISSED FIRST
HAVE CHANCE ON SECOND
Campaign for New Bond Issue Begins
When Crops Are Marketable and
Ready Money Is at Hand.

In the first Liberty Loan campaign,
many of the farmers OF the country
were not reached, and subscriptions
from rural committees were few.
There we're several reasons for this,
tho foremost Of which was that the
loan was put out in the spring, when
they were busy with their crops, and
it was difficult for the canvassers to
interview them. Then, too, they had
to borrow money for their planting.
Now their crops are in, and at the
present high price of foodstuffs they
should have a large sum OF money in
their hands. For loan Of n portion
of that money, the Liberty Bond cam
paigners are now appealing all over
the country. The various farm bu-
reaus and societies are cooperating
and good results are expected.
Albert r. Mann, dean of the New
Yorl; College Of Agriculture. is one of
those who have been active in this
work. Speaking of the loan and the
farmers share in it, he said
When liberty came to America the
farmer helped to bring it. He bore
the gun, he contributed unsparingly
Of his substance, he fed the armies.
In the present struggle for universal
liberty, | am sure that he will do no
less. He has already made splendid
response to the demand for greater
food production. | look with conf
dence on his generous contribution to
the Liberty Loan. p
THE first loan largely overlooked
the farmer-the efforts were concen-
trated in the cities. The second cam
paign should give every opportunity
for farmers as individuals and in their
organizations to support the govern.
ment in its financial program. 1t is
the highest expression of American.

carry the common load in this crit
