John w. Goodman, assistant d.

ing, 1--WE will have greater need
for the farmers in 1914. We will
have less people and less machin-
cry to produce more food. But
we know the farmers won't strike.
Is per cent of our total food goes
to our army and in addition we
must send food to our Allies and
the countries we're taking. AL
this calls for greater food produc-
ton and preservation. We at home
are eating more and better now
that we realize the value of good
health and nutrition.
MANY prices are wrong" Mr..
Goodman continued. land many
mistakes have been made, but
these must be worked out" He
emphasized the Importance of each
family maintaining its own garden
next year and canning food for the
winter so that the available ship
ping space may be used for more
important uses. All the feed avail
able will be needed to care for the
laying hens and dairy cattle, he
said. "We have big job for 1914
and must consider after-War agri-
culture so that we can keep the
farmer on a higher level with
privileges equal to others. ALI
this takes work and you are the
ones to bring about the necessary
results in your community"
