FARMER EXPECTED
TO SUPPORT LOAN
Stirring Appeal is Sent Out by
Heads of Thirty-five Ma
tional, Interstate and State
Agricultural Organizations.

A STIRRING appeal to American farm
ers to maintain their wartime prece
dent of patriotism and loyalty in the
support of the Fifth Liberty Loan has
been issued by the heads of thirty
five national, interstate and state
farmers organizations.
ITO make your participation in the
Victory Liberty Loan both in money
and service, the measure of your de-
votion to the great cause of democ-
racy" is the cause for which these
farm organization leaders, headed by
J. N. Tittemore, president, American
Society of Equity of Madison, Wis,
have sent message to all farmers
of the country, as follows
the Farmers of America:
NO finer patriotic service was ever
rendered than when the farmers of
America, short of labor, credit and
farm supplies, still grew the increas-
ed crops without which we could not
have won the war. The farm women
and children gave their labor in the
fields and the farms sent more than
million of their best to join the col
ors. The more that is known about
the war, the more gloriously our farm
srs' part in it will shine.
1.-THE Victory Liberty Loan Drive
begins April 81 and continues until
May 10. We appeal to you, farmers of
America, to finish what you have so
| we'll begun. Make this loan as superb
q success as the war crops you have
raised. See to it that the farmers
lead in putting the Victory Loan over
The top
Make your participation in the

your devotion to the great cause of
iemoeracy-th democracy for which
many of our boys have made the SUI
preme sacrifice. Let your subscrip-
lion and your effort be both an of
tering of thanksgiving for the return
Of peace and the means by which the
world may measure the strength of
your patriotism and your determine
ticn to see to it that the war shall
not have been fought in vain.
