 "The Food administration is doing everything in it's power to encourage home canning and gives assurance seized by the Government"
 The United States Food Adminis- tration is playing a big part of the great battle for democracy. And we can well afford to share our bounti- ful hsrvests and our supplies equally with those who have protected us for the past three years.
 If the 1918 crop is as bounteous as it now gives promise of being it should be handled on 8 purely busi- ness basis and reserves built out of it, both at home and abroad. if possible which will guarantee the future to some extent if there should be a let ting down in production or partial fail ure of crops next year
 The most appalling problem before the world today is shortage of food starvation. It is hard for American people to grasp the meaning of the word. They have rarely seen it ex- eept in pictures in books, written by missionaries. or in reports of the fa- mines of India or China.
 The United States government has already requisitioned 65 per cent. of the factory canned goods for our troops both here and in France, and the remaining 35 per cent. should and must be left for the families of the women working in factories and of those who are unable to have the nec- essary canning equipment in their homes
