is self explanatory:
To All Dairymen in Kennebec County:
You are asked to attend the Dairy
Conference on Monday, May 7. There
are times when however important du-
ties claim attention at home. more
important duties demand our presence
elsewhere This is one Of those times.
The nation is at war. She is attempt
ing a tremendous mobilization Of men
and resources. New England jutting
out from the northeast corner of the
country is the most difficult position to
reach in the distribution of necessi-
ties drawn from the West or South.
New England raises only quarter
part of what she cats. She has ire
mendous manufacturing interests,
whose continuous operation are vastly
more important than we realize.
To keep them going the people must
be fed. Were the present transporta
ton system, bringing food products
from the west. seriously crippled, for
but a few days, New England's food
supply would be exhausted. In pres
ont conditions, far more serious than
most farmers realize, it is abs olutely
necessary to conserve to the utmost
the food supply Of New England
The greatest single industry in New
England is dairying. Upon Its con-
tinuance depends the production Of
other crops. 1t cannot and will not
continue unless we can get food for
our animals, and money enough, for
their products to boy that food. Thou
sands Of cows are going to slaughter.
Calves are not being raised, simply be-
cause the farmers have not organized
and stood together, for living price
for their product. This loss is vital,
not only to farms but to other indus
