Yesterday afternoon before the Farm

Uncle Sam is asking one thing OF

"and that is a 10 per cent increase in
the increase will have to come from
Illinois. as only the corn belt is in a
position to render assistance along
this line.
"Our armies must have pork and

would take 10 years to produce the

We are not on the fighting line but
we're behind the boys who are behind
the guns on the firing line and those
boys can stay there only so long az
we feed them
Mr.. Abbott showed that So per cent
Of the pigs lost between narrowing and
