Six Million Farmers Pledge Cooperation
In Nationwide Campaign for More Food
Committee Is Elected
To Study Various
Production Plans.

Eyes of the nation are on the
American farmer this month.
What's he doing to merit all
this attention?
Why nothing at all, except
making plans for an even better
production job in '43 than he did
last year-and AZ broke records
right and left!
Farm Mobilization day in mid
month set in motion a coast-to-
coast plan for getting the most
from every acre. Demands on
the farmer and his land will be
heavier than ever, but shortages
of labor and materials will be
tighter. That means that many
farms will have to produce still
more to meet the goals.
When the nationwide sign-up
of men, land and livestock al
ready under way is completed,
Uncle Sam will know what he
can expect from his flood and fiber
army on 100000 farms.
Farm Mobilization day began
the greatest campaign for food
production in the long and meri-
torious history of United States
agriculture.
Farmers assembled in groups all
over the nation on that day for spe-
cial meetings at which the national
and local production situation was
discussed. Production goals for each
locality were studied, and the farm
er's part in meeting goals for his
own land was shown in its relation
to the entire war contribution of
agriculture.
Keynote of the farm mobilization
program was set in a national pro-
gram on January IL. Government
officials and high ranking officers of
the armed services were among the
speakers. A Minnesota farm woman
whose son is fighting in Algiers told
what she is doing to meet food pro-
duction goals, and a county war
board chairman from Illinois repre-
sented the farming man.
Explanation of the Importance of
the farmers goals to the strength of
Americans at home, and the free
dom of all the United Nations, is
expected to bring a clearer appre-
citation of his problems among Or
CARNATIONS and the people at large.
Many groups will pledge co-opera-
ton and support the farmers eff
forts to meet these problems.
Immediately following the
Farm Mobilization day meet
ings, farmer committeeman
elected by farmers themselves
began visiting each farm to help
the operator work out his indi-
vidual production plan. At the
same time, survey of his Ia
Dor, machinery and other needs
is being made. Each plan, when
completed, will represent that
farms share in national produce
ton goals.
Agriculture's "1943 Farm Plan"
sets up on single sheet the crop
acreages for 1912 and the new 1943
goal for each farm on war crops
such as soybeans, peanuts, toma-

Farm Shelterbelt Yields Big Dividends

Ten acres of trees planted a quar-
ter of a century or so ago to pro-
tect his farmhouse from the winds
have also yielded a good crop of
posts and fuelwood, according to
Chris Jacobson, farmer near Cul-
bertson, Mont.
Further, Jacobson said, the grove
is still in fine shape and he could
cut 1000 posts right now without
noticing the effect of their removal"
Jacobson's original planting was
