our civil rights, obtained under
the Constitution and its amend

P. committeeman who had recently
been elected. This canvass will be-
gin about November l and will in
clude every farmer in the county.
The keynote in this production eff
fort will be to inform individual
farmers throughout the county Of
the agricultural needs for 1912 and
10 work out the contribution that
each Sussex farm can make in this
time of emergency. During the
canvass there will be opportunity
for the farmer to execute an all
out farm defense plan. This plan
will provide for a listing of the
farm commodities for which in
creases are needed and the maxi
mum contribution that the farmer
can make towards voluntarily
meeting these needs. The intention
Of the producers will be summar-
lied for every county in the U. S.
so that the nation may know well in
advance of the 1912 planting sea-
son, that our people will be well
fed and that ample amounts of
food will be available for shipment
to anti-axis countries in 1912. In
order that every Sussex farm fam
lily may know, about this program,
arrangements have been made to
hold community agricultural de-
tense meetings on Monday, Novem-
ber 8, at 1880. These meetings are
being held in cooperation with the
Vocational Agricultural Instruc-
tors of the county, the County Ag-
ricultural Defense Board, the Rural
Planning Committee, the local A.
C. A. and the Extension Depart
ment Of the University of Della
ware. Approximately forty trained
farm leaders will help to explain
this work and the suggested goals
for Sussex county at these meet
ings. This group includes the fol-
lowing:

Attend one of these meetings, to

doing so you can give a helping
hand to this campaign of Food for
