American tractor plows for the use o&
a civilian army of night plowers
which w. ar about tO enlist through

Lee, director-general Of food prOGuc-
ton, I'D the Associated Press today.
This new department, which ia the
oltgrowth of the German submarine
campaign, aims at the enlistment Of
several hundred thousand civilians To
cultivate every available bit OF soil
I'VE hope to make the tractor plOws
fill the gaps caused by the shortage OF
labor" continued Sir Arthur For
this reason we are going to import
1000, or as many as we can, from
America. We are going to equip them
with headlights for night plowing.
Laborers can only work eight hours,
but tractors can work "a hours. They
will be driven by taxi cab drivers and
chauffeurs, who will b. able To learn
their mechanism in "a few hours.
Behind every ploW will I'M skilled

dlce enough food I'd make ug inde-

war lasts. We do not believe We will
be able to produce sufficient 10 feed
the population In time OF peace, but
are confident we will be able to grow
enough to stave off starvation during
the war.
For this we thank the German sub
marines. They already have given Eng
land an agricultural policy which Is
destined to make us to large extent
selfsupporting The submarines have
also revived rural life, given the farm
ers a minimum wage and generally
made our national defense more e.
fective than thousand speeches in
