Producers Study
1913 Milk Goals
od-For-FreedOm Meet
ings Being Held in Will
low River Vicinity.

Increasing production of food-for-
victory commodities is the theme of
a series of discussions being held by
farm groups in the Willow River
vicinity under the leadership of 0.
E. Sanderson, agricultural instruc-
tor in the Willow River schools.
A group of neighbors met at the c.
E. Jensen home three miles southeast
of Willow River Friday to talk over
the program for increasing milk pro-
duction, and its implications. A sec
ond meeting will be held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Worm
Friday evening Of this week at 8
o'clock when principles of feeding
dairy cattle will be discussed. An
other group will meet tonight at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Pemble-
ton, later meetings being scheduled
for the Millerd Torkelson and Roy
Alberg homes.
Mr.. Sanderson advises that other
farm groups desiring to organize to
hold food-for- freedom meetings con-
tact him, and he will try to make
arrangements to meet with them.
Goal 122 Billion Pounds.
Farmers are being asked to in
crease further production of milk
during the coming year." Mr.. San
derson said, "and the milk produc-
ton goal set for the dairy farmers
in our nation in l943 is 122 billion
pounds, which is two per cent higher
than actual production in 1912. The
government says that a production
of 40 billion pounds of milk will be
needed to meet all demands in 1943
One of the methods of reaching this
objective, that of increasing the size
of the dairy herd, is virtually close
to us. Labor is limited, herds are
being sold, priorities make housing
expansion impractical and the scar
city and higher prices of dairy cows
makes the purchase of animals un-
economical.
eve therefore must increase pro-
duction through more efficient feed
ing and care of our present herds, y
Mr.. Sanderson added, cas- we cannot
learn to feed efficiently unless we
have some idea of what the nutri-
ents we feed consist of, and what
use these specific nutrients are. in
the animal processes"

That, OF course, was the case
years ago, also, but at that time
Hitler was much stronger than

about and fight back, able to re-
cover territory which he had lost in
the first Russian counter-offensive.
Military experts are not looking for
any repetition of that performance
now, for Hitler is much weaker now
than then, the Russians, buoyed up
by string of solid victories, much
stronger than then. 1t probably is
the intention of the Russians to force
Hitler all the way back through

that destination is still pretty far off.
