Food-Production Problems Are
Growing More Acute With
Progress of Conflict.
MORE MEN CALLED TO army
Department Of Agriculture Officials
Assured From Every Section That
Man Behind the Pillow viii Not
Fail In War Task.

The man behind the pillow, depart
ment of agriculture officials believe, Is
the man behind the man behind the
gun, and the idea has been embodied
in striking poster that is soon to be
used throughout the country in ham,
mering home the importance of the
&. American farmers big war job.
Edward Penfield, poster artist of
New York, painted the picture, which
shows a plowman working in the fur
rows to produce food for the men in
the trenches. Against sunlit back
ground are seen the silhouetted fig
ures of soldiers in battle.
Farmers Not to Fall.
Food production problems are de-
scribed as growing more acute with the
progress Of the war. the increasing de-
mands for food. the calling of more
men to the army. and other results of
America straining every nerve toward
one objective. But department of ag-
riculture officials are assured In every
mail and from every section Of the
country that the farmers are not going
to fail in their war tnsk. Farmers
have gone over the top for the period
Of the war. The new poster Is intend
ed to impress upon people of the cities
and towns the great importance Of &C.
commodating agriculture In its require
ments of labor. finance and marketing.
Farmers Place Recognized.
The Importance of the farmer in
the organization of American resources
to win the war was expressed by the
secretary of agriculture In his recent
appeal 'to the patriots on the farms"
to go "over the top" this fall for n
great harvest of wheat In 1919. In this
appeal the secretary saids
you have occupied and do occupy
the first line trenches of the food
army. You have to fight difficulties,
too. ! am not unmindful Of these. In
the department of agriculture we con-
slider them daily, and daily we give
our best efforts to help you meet them.
You know of the difficulties in your
community. but know of them in
many communities Of many states, and
so seriously do they Impress me that
I might almost consider them tnsur-
mountable had not American farmers
last year, and again this year, revealed
the true American fighting spirit and
ability to meet serious situations.
LET us sow literally for big har-
vest in 1919. 1t has been called the
Liberty wheat harvest. we all hope
It will be. But let us undertake the
task with the determination that we
will sweat our blood for many more
If need be before we yield one measure
of our freedom to n Prussian domina-
ton. Let us fight in the burrows"

GROW WINTER GREENS

In the milder portions Of the
country 1t is possible by the aid
of a cold frame to grow lettuce,
radishes, spinach, kale and pars-
ley throughout the winter. The
cold frame may be any size from
three feet by six-this being the
size of the standard cold frame
sash-to six feet by any multiple
of three feet. A four-sash
frame-that is one six by twelve
feet-would be large enough to
supply the average family with

Eastern.
Neither Coach Battersby nor Coach
