he is taken to the hospital, all the

Pete borrows a dollar from a
friend to consult with fortune

till he is almost unconscious, but
his friend ships him off on steam

he is he swims ashore. After a

the secretary OF agriculture and
his associates back yonder at the
center OF the nation S agricultural
activitleS-to see to it that the
soldiers OF this greatest of nations
armies (the men and women OF
the farms) are enlisted for the
entire duration of the war. The
duty is ours, too, to hold down
the casualty list to the lowest
margin possible. We must pro-
cure the planting OF large crops
to be sure, but we must take par
ticular care that the individual
farmer does not become bankrupt
because of his patriotic efforts,
that fertility is not drained for
this years crop at the expense of
crops that must be grown in 9th
er years-for it is to be- remem-
bered that the army in the fur
rows must hold its lines till the
I war is won, and that even when
the soldiers of the trenches are
mustered out and sent to their
homes, our food products must
still flow across the seas to feed
the peoples Of deSolated lands.
Rest assured that from now on
the Department of Agriculture,
fortunately organized on a war
basis, at last, will extend to you
even more effective cooperation
than it was possible to do during
the past year. The department
has now at its command an APP
preparation of four and a quarter
millions OF dollars for the purpose
OF putting county agent in every
county where there is not already
one at work. More than 900
agents have been appointed under
1t and other places are being filled
as rapidly as properly qualified
men can be found. By the, time
the planting season begins next
spring, we shall have gone long
way toward having county agents
in every agricultural county in the
nation.
And so, with closer organization
and more workers in the field,
even the great things that we
have done this year can be surpas-
sed next year.
