To the Club Members:
War measures are the order of the
day. In one way or another every man.
woman, boy and girl is justly being
called upon to help this nation in con
I flict. The State Food Administrator
OF Louisiana, Mr.. John NJ. Parker, and
State Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr.
Harry D. Wilson, have requested the
Junior Extension Department to call
upon the club members to come to the
assistance to the Government in a new
work. This work has the endorsement

The European eeuntzies with whom.
the United States has sided in the
world war are calling upon this nation
for 220,OO0,OOO bushels of wheat more
than supply. Your attention is called
to the topics on corn crop reports and
prices on staple foodstuffs indicate
more forcefully the seriousness of the
food situation. The Government, in
order TO stimulate production, is guar
anteeing 1920 per bushel for wheat to
the farmer. These few statements
should justify any boy in the planting
of an acre Of wheat
Now, this is what you boys are called
upon to do. Plant just one acre of good
land to wheat during the month of Nov
ember. Germ club boys might use thei
acre thew had in corn and cotton club
boys might use ore of their cotton club
acres. Planting this acre in your elut
work will require little extra labor in
planting, no cultivation will be neces
sary and after harvesting the crop you
coull plant SOY beans, peanuts or late
corn on the same land Pig club mem
bors will find wheat furnishing splea-
lid grazing for their pigs during tlc
winter
As started above this is a war mea
