DOING OUR BIT"

The U. S. Government has
asked each and every farmer OF
the south to put in food stuff tc
prepare for the present crisis
call.
On Wednesday night of this
week, 9 miles northeast of Brink
ley, on the ranch owned by a
coterie of Iowa capitalists, and
efficiently managed by Walter
A. Dickson, a Brinkley boy, there
was a scene that should be pic
tured all over America.
On this great TOO acre ranch,
Manager Dickson had 3 big
tractor engines working full "a
hour shifts seeding and preparing
his farm to produce the greatest
crop of rice he has ever produc-
ed.
Think of seeing, right here
within 80 minutes ride of Brink
ley, such a sight, as battery of
3 big tractor engines, headlights
aglow, with gangs of plows trail
ing, going during all of the dark
hours of the night and every
hour of the day forcing the fight
for preparedness.
If the outside world could but
see this wonderful sight and note
the fact that within II mile
radius of Brinkley, there were
probably 60 more headlights on
big tractors similarly engaged,
then they'd realize how we Of
this section are doing our bit"
in answer to the u. S. call.
