There will soon be another meeting at Outlook at

Much Land In Use?"
Wall Street and the lackeys of Wall Street are busy
telling US that we actually have too much land under
cultivation.
They show us all sorts of figures about the sur
pluses and the cutting off of foreign markets. Every
thing their statements proves that to bring prosperity
back we have produce less because at the present
time we are drowning in surplus wheat and milk.
Let us look at their figures
Many of you have seen the charts the Washington
government gets ready telling what have to eat in
order to keep healthy. These charts warn not to
eat less than the needed amount because then we may
become prey to all sorts of ailments
According to these figures
We do not produce enough grain in the country to
allow us to maintain decent diet; need 76 661 900
acres more.
We do not produce enough beef and veal; we should
have 208OO,000 more beef cows and calves.
We have nowhere enough milk; we need 49,

We have right to stay here and to have the homes
we built up.
We expect the government to give us the helm

made recently show that while the
AAA cut harvested acreage 40
million acrek in reality we should
add 80 million acres to the har-
