y We've got a big job before us-making the world
a decent place to live in. You're too young to GO
into the army line, but I'm mighty proud to see you
go into the hoeing line. You're soldier of the
SOIL, and by working on the farm you can produce
every day food sufficient to feed four soldiers. 1t is
not an easy job to tackle easier than mine. II
tests your mettle the same as ours will be tested in
the trenches. But the work you do on the farm as
a member of the United States Boys Working Re
serve is just as important as ours, and I'm glad &c
60 to the front because know you will fight just
as hard at home to give us food as we will in the
trenches. So long! Good luck-an STICK
