FARMERS w O
GROW TOMATOES
HAVE BIG JOB
This Vegetable Necessary To
Maintain The Health And
Fighting Efficiency OF Army
PACK GOAL CALLS FOR
ABOUT $4,000 ACRES

Canning tomato growers have a
big job ahead for 1942-one of the
most important of all the jobs in
volved in the agricultural war eff
fort. Tomatoes are one of the foods
most urgently needed to maintain the
health and fighting efficiency of our
own people and the people of the ma
tons with which we are allied. To be
sure that we have ample supplies, a
goal for the 1912 pack of canned to-
matoes has been established after a
great deal of careful study.
This pack goal calls for the plant
ing of about 100000 acres of toma-
toes for canning in 1921 national
acreage increase of about 80 percent
over 1941. This quantity is urgently
needed In 1912, the Department of
Agriculture wants Gamers to pack
every can of canned tomatoes that it
is possible for them to put up. This
means that you must produce every
tomato that can be used by Gamers.
Only by entering into a specific con-
tract with a cooperating Gamer, how
ever, can you make sure of your out
let and know in advance that your
Gamer will pay at least the minimum
price for the tomatoes.
The minimum contract price in this
area is $21.0O per ton Cor 35c per
basket Cor 63 c. per bushel).
Local Gamers who contract with
growers to pay at least this mini
mum price will be certified by your
State USDA War Board. These GER
titled Gamers will, in turn, be eligi-
bic to sell, through December 81,
1912, all the canned tomatoes they
want to the Department of Agricul-
ture for Lend-Lease, school lunch,
and other purposes.
The price to be paid to certified
Gamers has been established by the
Department at base of IS cents per
dozen No. 2 cans, f. o. b. Gamers, for
u. S. Grade C. Canned tomatoes. De-
partment purchases of canned toma-
toes will be made on this basis so
that Gamers can see their way clear
to pay growers at least the minimum
price established for canning toma-
toes produced in this state.
1t is important to remember that
the only way you can be sure of get
ting at least the minimum price es-
tablished for canning tomatoes grown
in 1912 is by entering into specific
contracts with cooperating Gamers.
Growers should also note that since
the price is minimum price, each
grower is free to negotiate with his
Gamer for higher contract price.
In view of the nations need for
the tomatoes and the price support
extended to both growers and Gamers
tomato growers should:

L Determine how many acres of
tomatoes your Gamer can contract
and enter into a contract with him,
for at least the minimum price, for
as many acres as he can take from
you and as many as you can wisely
plant to tomatoes.
2. Select your best tomato land and
prepare to produce a maximum ton
mage as efficiently as possible.
3. Make provisions now to secure
all the tomato plants you will need
to complete your 1912 production
plans.
With these points in mind, we be-
lieve that the production of tomatoes
for canning this year offers the grow
er prospects for fair financial re-
turn and real patriotic service to
his country.
