 horse, an implement, temporary assist
 ance, or even advice-which a community organization night provide? There is much work, well enough at another time, which may be subordinated this year to the production of a big crop.

 citations. and other local organizations of business men will take the situation in hand in formative way they can do
 more to safeguard the prosperity of the country than can be done at this time l by any other effort.
