GOVERNOR, IN
CALL, URGES ALL
TO RAISE FOODS
Proclamation Makes Plea
That Every Possible Acre
be Utilized This Year.

PART In BATTLE

Them -''Plant Enough to
Feed One Soldier"

Owners and agents for unoccupied
lands are urged by Governor Frazier
in proclamation issued today to CO.
operate with other state forces in the
mobilization Of food resources. The
proclamation reads: There are in
every city and on every farm tracts
Of land that might be utilized by some
one in producing food that will be so
much needed during the coming year.
1t is especially urged that the boys be
encouraged to till a small area on their
own account and thus give them a
chance to be of real service to their
country. and at the same time create
in them a spirit of sedf- f-confidenca and
independence. Let the spirit of un-
selfish desperation be manifest
throughout our state at this time Of
the nations need"
To The Boys.
To the boys of North Dakota the
governor says: Undoubtedly you
want to have a part in helping our
country in this time when each one
should contribute something of real
value. All can not bear arms. Some
must remain at home and produce
those things that are needful to the
men at the front. Here is where you
can help. Would you not be willing
to plant and cultivate enough land to

may not seem possible, but we are told
that a space 25x50 feet, properly titled,
will, under ordinary circumstances,
yield a sufficient amount. Many will
be able to care for much larger area,
and all can do something.
Sees Real Service.
II would suggest to the leaders of
the Boy Scouts. Lone Scouts and other,
similar organizations that you take up
this matter in your regular meetings
and formulate plans for handling the
boys campaign for greater production
in your locality. IL there is an
organized effort to accomplish this
purpose. the work will be much more
effective. In the cities and villages
you will be able to procure vacant lots
and in the country odd tracts that
can not proftably be farmed in the
usual manner. / am sure you will en-
joy the work. and at the same time
perform a real service for your coun-
try"
