TO The FARMERS
Join the patriotic army.
Refrain from selling lambs

Refrain from selling lambs,
calves and half-grown chickens
this spring.
This will greatly increase
the supply of food a few
months from now.
twill cost little to keep live
stock through the spring and
summer, and young stock will
multiply many times in weight
by fall, if properly cared for.
Besides doing your duty as
an American citizen in the
present emergency, you take
little or no risk, as there is
small probability that prices
will be much lower next fall
than now. Even with lower
prices the increased weight of
live stock will make up the
difference.
The merchants and bankers
will no doubt extend you lib
eral credit while you are en-
gawed in this patriotic effort
