The potato crop Of Houston and
Wharton counties, Texas, has been
saved through the aid of the business
men in local towns. When 1t was
realized that the potato crop would
be lost unless farmers received help,
the state extension director, cooper
ating with the farm help specialist
of the the department of agriculture,
explained the situation to the busi-
ness men, who closed their offices
and stores, went to the farms and
worked with the potato growers in
harvesting the crop. Such co-opera-
tion is meaning much not only for
the increasing Of the food supply of
the nation but is breaking down the
barrier that in many cases has ex-
listed between town and country, ac-

ers are working hand in hand to Sc
cure an adequate food supply and to
further the nations great cause, and
other communities are planning TO
