The Department of Interior has ia- sued the following statement by Sec retary Lane:
 We are at war with great power. We are preparing an army and train ing a navy to combat that power. But the work of preparation and defense is not to the Army and Navy alone.
 Our people can not all be fighters. We must have in addition to our arm ies of fighters armies of producers, to sustain those who struggle and to maintain those for whom they strug- gle.
 Men in close touch with the food supply of this country predict that if the present decrease in production keeps up f. an other year we will face a seri food famine. And as our country IS the chief food-producing country in the world, that statement means that the entire world will face the same consequence.
 Land Awaits Farmer.
 To avoid this shortage of food, our country must develop it's patriots who blow, just as it develops it's patriots who shoot. For the man who shoots can not long exist without the active support of the man who blows.
 Two hundred and forty million acres of unalotted public land in the West ern States await the coming of the farmer and the herdsman. Millions of acres Of fine farm lands in the East ern States lie idle through lack of men to work them. Forty-two mill lions of our population stifie in crowd ed cities and complain of the high cost of living.
 Tn time of peace the Interior Depart roent and other branches of the Gov raa art offer tremendous opportun ities to those who want to farm.

 Alaska's Fertility Astonishing.
 In this emergency solemn duty, call as compelling as the call to arms, confronts every man in the United States who does not fight, and who knows how to grow the crops that are the life of this Nation.
 Any citizen of the United States who has not already located home stead may apply for Js many acres Of straight farming land as he wants up to 1G0 acres in the restricted sections and up to 320 acres in the unreclaim- ed sections. Straight grazing land may be had to the extent of GAO acres.
 During the first two months of this year applications for 15,355, 900 acres of stock-grazing land alone were filed. From Alabama to Alaska land is wait ing to be taken up. The products of Alaska have astonished the whole world into realization of it's farm ing possibilities. The resources of the Eastern and Western States have long been known.
 Several hundred million acres of farm land in this country, can be ac- quired under very reasonable condit- ions for cultivation.
 Thousands of people who know how to run farms live in our cities, many Of them under very unfortunate condit- ions.
