feeds are likely to remain high and dis.
tillers' and brewers grains may be off
the market.
He asked all to plant all the crops
they could possibly take care of, but
no more for it will not help the country
to plant seed that cannot be properly
fortified, cultivated and sprayed.
Try, he said, to come as near as pos
sible to producing all of the food that
your family will need. Every quart Of
beans and every pound Of pork that
you produce yourself will not only help
you, but it will free a quart of beans
and a pound of pork to help keep
alive men and women and children Ia
Europe.
The labor situation is the greatest
problem that confronts the farmer.
While the return to the farms of many
high school boys will help some, the
lack of labor will prevent many men
from planting as much as they would
otherwise.
He told them that the food situation
in Windham county was not serious.
Good seeds are high, but potatoes,
beans and corn and oats seem sun-
cient for all planting needs. After
planting time many farmers will have
potatoes and beans for sale and the
farm bureau is ready to help anyone
locate q supply of seed.

Many who have taken u keen in

are beginning to believe the camps

maud. that the previous service men,
whom the war department had de-
pended upon for captains and majors,
have not applied for commissions.
Another bother Is the failure Of con-
