During the period since we enter

have responded magnificently to the
appeals for increased production and
all the people have complied with
the urgent requests for fuller con
servation.
During this past fall season, our
farmers planted an increased wheat
acreage and large acreage in rye.
1t is too early now to make de-
tailed suggestions for the spring
planting season We do not know
how the fall grains will come throgh

to fore cast the demands and the
