Greatest Food
Production in
World History

The greatest production of food from
any equal area Of land. in the worlds
history.-this will be Iowa's record for
lS11-one of her contributions to the
success of the armies fighting for a
world democracy.
This is a broad statement. It is based
upon estimates obtained by the Greater
Iowa Association from the L. s. Wealth
er Bureau Uowa section). the Iowa
Crop Service Bureau. county agricul-
tural agents and various other authentic
sources.

according to the Associations state
ment. In every city and town in Iowa,
back yards and side yards and in many,
many instances. front yards have been
growing potatoes and beans and beets
and other garden truck. Owing to the
active campaign of the State College of

was valued at 100000. The approx

or an increase of 800 per cent.
HEilnons In Oats.
In 1915 Iowa produced approximately
$4,000 900 bushels Of oats. Present in
dications are that this year she will pro-
duce close to 240.000.0o0 bushels. or an
increase of over 80 per cent If this
proportion of increase is maintained
throughout the United States, Uncle
Sans oat crop will be more than 400
100000 bushels greater than il was last
year.-or grand total of 100000. 900
bushels.
And if Iowa should produce 100000
600 bushels of oats this year it will be
just $4,000. 600 more than the largest oat
crop Iowa ever produced. It is causing
some folks to do a great deal of think
