APPEALS TO FARMERS

Farmers of America were appealed
to by Secretary Houston to join in ag-
ricultural preparedness measures so

by food shortage in its efforts to meet
the international crisis. Elimination
of waste, conservation of surplus, and

were outlined as imperative for
strengthening resources.

reasons" the secretary said, "the
American farmer should strive this
year for the highest standard of eff
