On April 10, 1912, a new version
of the Stars and Stripes, famous SOL
der newspaper of World War I,
made its appearance in London. Un-
like Yank, which began publication
later, the Stars and Stripes was not
to be for the whole army but for the
AEF in the British Isles. 1t started
as a weekly but in November, in
response to demand from its SOL
der readers who wanted more news
from home than they were getting
in the English newspapers, it be-
gan publishing daily. Since that
time it has given birth to several
lusty Offspring" in Africa. Soon aft
er the great invasion of November,
1912, the Stars and Stripes was
hauled up on an editorial masthead
in Algiers and began publication as
weekly. Later it began issuing a
daily edition as well as a weekly;
and daily editions are also issued in
Gran, Casablanca and other African
cities.
The African edition of the Stars
and Stripes is typical of the Amer
lean soldier newspaper-breezy and
informal in the style of its writing,
rejecting "the humor without which
democracy would die" Like most
service newspapers it prints much
soldier verse and one of its poems
promises to become immortal. In
one of the early issues appeared an
eight-line poem by Private William
L. Russell under the title of 'Tune
From Tunis" which told about
DIRTY Gertie From Bizerte."
"Tune From Tunis" was reprint
ed in Yank where Paul Ref, COM

AS matter of fact, the News
is a "transplanted" soldier
newspaper. 1t is published by
and for the men of the 45th d.
vision of the United States Sew
enth army and it was started
while the 45th was in training
at Pine camp near Carthage,
N. Y, where the paper was
printed in the shop of the Car
thage Republican Tribune, a
weekly. Its editor is Sgt. Don
Robinson, formerly a reporter
on the Oklahoma City (Okla.)
Daily Times.
The Doughboy News, however, is
only one OF more than l 1000 such pub
lications-820 camp newspapers in
this country, 70 navy papers and ITO
service papers abroad. The num-
her of these papers reflect two
things:
/. The fact that Americans are
the greatest newspaper-reading peo-
pie in the world, so when an Amer
lean marches away to war a news
paper seems to be an essential part
of his equipment"
2. Although the home town news
paper is one of the most welcome
pieces of mail that a soldier, sailor
or marine receives, even this isn't
enough for these news-hungry Amer
leans. They want to read news of
their own "outfits," their own activi-
ties and have the thrill of seeing
their own names in print. Hence,
the service newspaper.
These service newspapers have
every imaginable variety of formal,
size and frequency of issue. There
are dailies, semi-weeklies and week.
lies. Most of them are printed but
many of them, issued where print
ing facilities are not available, are
mimeographed. But they all have
one thing in common-they are pri-
marily for the enlisted man and pro-
duced by enlisted men.
Outstanding among these publica-
tons are two which are internation-
al in their scope-Yank and the
Stars and Stripes. When Yank was
established last year it was intended
to be newspaper for men in the
armed forces overseas - soldiers,
sailors, marines, members of the
coast guard and the merchant ma
rine. However, six weeks after it
started it was distributed to men in
the camps at home as well as those
overseas. Now it has eight editions
two in New York Zone for the
United States, the other for general
overseas distribution), British edi-
ton in London, a Caribbean edition
in Puerto Rico, and others in Trini.

for that. Army officials say that

the soldiers themselves add that

their own (most of which can NOT

that DIRTY Gertie From Bizerte"
will be the World War II counterpart
of "Mademoiselle From Armenti-

Another soldier newspaper which
has won considerable fame for its
verse is the Kodiak Bear, published
by and for the soldiers, sailors and
contractors workmen stationed at
Fort Greedy and the naval air sta

Alaska. It started the same week

or more, above the current harvest
ed acreage, it is announced. Both
types Of potatoes, regular and sweet,
win be stepped up with corn show
ing small increase.
Hemp and flax, it is pointed out,
although not food crops are Of first
importance to the war. Hemp for
rope and fax for oilseed are in the
front line Of every battle.
Feed crops will receive emphasis
because of increased needs for more
livestock, and the importance Of
maintaining production of eggs and
milk at the level of 1913, or raising
output on both commodities. Con-
siderably more beef and veal will
be sought in 1914, but pork produc-
ton is not expected to exceed 1913
by more than a few per cent. The
development of the 1914 livestock
program will depend in large meas
ure on the feed yields from 1913
crops. Extension of pasture will be
urged to relieve this feed shortage.
All idle land should be planted to
some cover crop such as alfalfa,
clover, or some cereal grain. Rye
and some varieties of wheat serve
well as over-the-winter coverage.
This policy also returns needed min
erals to the soil.
Planted acreage should be ex-
banded without blowing up land
which should be kept in grass. Us
ing idle crop land, out of production
in recent years, and speeding up the
cycle Of crop rotation. on farms
where 1t is feasible are the answer,
according to Marvin Jones, VIA
administrator. He also pointed out
that sound farming methods must
be employed to insure high yields
over a period Of years, since food
demands will continue to be heavy
for a long period to come.
The War Food administration will
continue its program of support
prices to establish desirable price
relationships, it is announced, max
ing it easier to obtain adequate in
creases in most needed crops and
generally to balance total produc-
ton.
In determining crop emphasis,
farmers even in the principal wheat
states Of the Great Plains have been
asked to give priority to dry beans,
potatoes, flax and grain sorghums in
some areas. First call in the Pa
cific Northwest is also for dry peas,
dry beans, canning crops and pota-
toes. Soybeans, corn, dry beans,
