ble, the farm bureaus which are being organized. The comm unication in ~p part reads At the meeting of the State Council held January 23, the council put itself on record as en- dorsing the work of the bureaus as indispensable in the present food cri- sis. It also voted to instruct the War Bureaus to assist the farmers in every way" So it is now expected that the people of Berlin will lend a helping hand by conserving and raising more food.
 A weeks campaign will be carried on beginning March 4, to raise the mem bership of the organization and to gain financial support. The wom- en of Berlin do not wish to lag behind in supporting an agency, upon which so much depends. This campaign will give the people of the town, who are not actual producers, an opportu- nifty to contribute directly to the solu- ton of the food production and con- servation within the state. There are many women, throughout the state, who are producers on large scale, but there are also many who have not been conserving. The time is now here for all to help and the best way is to support the Berlin Farm Bureau. The letter was sent to this town by Caroline Ruutz Rees, chairman of the State Council of women's War Activ- f1ties.
