The United States Department oi Agriculture has started its nationwide program in order that this country may produce a bumper crop of all farm produce not only for our own consumption hut also help teed the United Nations. Those in charge of the agricultural program in Delaware County launched their campaign, this f week, by a radio broadcast Mrs. Marker Sunderland, Delaware County’s Farmer Field Woman, for Triple A, opened the program with a radio talk over WLBC, Tuesday afternoon. Since she so clearly sets out, in her broadcast, the part the farm women are expected to play in this ‘Feed the World’ program, we are quoting her speech in its entirety: “This afternoon I would like to take you on an imaginary trip across the big waters with ‘The Farmer’s Wife and the Food Ship.’ Because a woman on a farm worked harder than ever tending chickens, because she milked more cows and helped raise more pigs, because she helped to the limit in cornfield and garden, this food ship sails with a huge caggo- -d•■md for our sol'”- ! ei our Firs! .left s.h, a o ’, k : •' newest kind of cargo vessel, ‘The Liberty Skin’.

You on shore, keep those lights down. For the lives of men and the fate of nations are at stake in ships like these—Nightly such scenes are taking place. The sailings are a military secret, so our ship must have an imaginary name—let’s call her Miss Liberty. Where is she sailing? Oh, that’s a military secret too. Perhaps to some island outpost. Maybe to China or possibly to English people who’ve been fighting and working for a long time on short rations. Suppose we look into the hold. We couldn’t really. No visitors allowed. But since we’re supposing let’s take a farm homemaker with.us on our inspection tour, for farm homemakers are playing a big role these days in producing the food that’s filling these ships you know The cargo is tightly stowed, every inch of space packed with high-powered foods. Looking over the cargo inventory what do we see—item by item. First we see barrels of dried eggs—6,000 of them, and it took 32,000,000 eggs to fill those barrels —explains our guide. ‘Oh my that’s a lot of eggs’—sighs the farmers wife, ‘Goodness, I’m glad I raised

Milk is •+ vital food, so the Miss Liberty carries a big cargo of milk products. 6,000 bar-, rels of dried milk, 16,552 cases of evaporated milk, 20,000 boxes of cheese, all together this is equivalent of 13,500,000 quarts of milk. Sounds like a lot of milk to me. Let’s ask our farm woman what she thinks about it. ‘What do I think,’ she answ r ers, ‘Well we are not dairy farmers. We only have a few cows, but all I can say is that I’m glad I scald our milk pans, because I wouldn’t want any of our milk to turn bad before we could get it to the market. It wouldn’t have been so serious a few years ago for milk to turn bad—you could always feed it to the chickens and pigs. Not that chickens and pigs don’t make food too But now I aim to use as much other feed as I can and save all the milk for our army. Now you tell me something please. They say everyone—man, woman, and child—should have at least a pint of milk a day. Just how many people would the milk on this ship feed?’ That’s a fair question. The answer, a lot of people. The Miss Liberty carries enough milk to feed 73,972 people a pint of milk a day for a whole year. There are enough milk products in the ship’s hold to give 36,-

twice as many baby chicks this j 986 a quart of milk a day.

year as last. I must find out about feeding to make my hens lay more too. That’s a lot of eggs. They would feed a lot of folks a long time, wouldn’t they?’ Those 6,000 barrels of dried eggs in the hold of Miss Liberty would give 87,671 sailors one egg every morning for breakfast for a whole year. Nutritionists say everybody should have an egg a day if possible, and three eggs a week at least. Uncle Sam

There’s pork in the ship’s hold too. That’s not surprising because bacon and ham and canned pork are concentrated foods. The Miss

as much lard as an average Ameri-’ can city of 57,931 people woujd have used during 1941. Of course the boys in Iceland need lots of fat in their diet to help them stand the icy blasts that are blowing up there most of the time. But even -granted that they might use two or three times as much as the people at home, that lard would make a lot of rich blood-warming food for our boys on duty somewhere in the North Atlantic. We are impressed and so is the farmer’s wife She nods her head vigorously and says, ‘Well, it must have taken a lot of corn to feed those pigs.’ Right—It did take a lot of corn to feed those hogs. It took a lot of hogs to make that pork and lard. Over 10,000 hogs to make the bacon and canned pork, and 27,632 hogs to make the lard. One last look into the ship’s hold shows 6,061 sacks of flour and 26,111 cases of canned vegetables. Flour is bulky. Those 6,061 sacks will feed only 3,853 people for a year. Now let’s look more closely at the labels on the canned goods. Tomatoes, Snap beans, and pea's. Hm-Hmm—it sounds as if tfyere is a variety to give different vitamins that you need to keep fit. That tomao juice would go a long way toward slaking the thirst of a bunch of marines on a forced march somewhere in the tropics. It would come in especially handy in a forsaken outpost where not even a blade of grass can grow.

from farms. It would take the en- j tire vegetable crop oi 31 average i farms to fill these cans. Wonder \ what our farmer’s wife would say | to that. She answers, ‘1 don’t know if I can speak for truck fanning, we don’t sell any truck. But I will say—I’m growing more vegetables this year, so we won’t have to buy so much canned goods. That will leave a larger stock of commercial canned goods to fill our ships. So ends our imaginary inspection tour of an average American freight ship. The inventory lists the food that could have been carried in that amount of space. Actually most ships contain mixed cargoes—guns as well as meat, plane parts and powdered milk. But it’s the kind of food that cargo boats do carry on zigzag journeys to unknown ports. Most of the ships reach their destinations. Some do not. Every ship that sa.ils and every ship that’s lost means a bigger job for families who work on farms. And now that our ship has brought us safely back to the United States let’s turn our thoughts o our Farm Mobilizaion Day on January > 12th. The President of the United States recognizes the value of food in winning the war. food isn’t taken for granted. It takes hard work, long hours, sacrifices on the part of farmers who deserve recognition for their outstanding contribution made in 1942. As farmer fieldwoman I ask every farmer of this county to gather whatever possible, with department of Agriculture representatives, in order to discuss ways and means of insuring for the year of 1943 the maximum production of vital foods upon every farm in the country. It is necessary that all agriculture he fully mobilized in order to get maximum production in 1943. The job is to produce the right amount of the right things in the right places. This will require careful planning and hard work. Let’s not forget . . . It ain’t the individual Nor the army as a whole But the everlasting teamwork Of every bloomin’ soul.’’ —o Miami, Fla., merchants and property owners are removing overhanging signs in conformance with an amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance.

Washington, Jan. 8.—Driving for pleasure must stop at noon today in the 17 east coast states where the gasoline shortage is acute. From then on, under an order by Price Administrator Henderson, automobiles must not be used except for necessary travel. That means no more driving to the theater or any other amusements— not even to see friends. It’s okay, however, to driver to churchr The drastic order is necessary to cope with the acute shortage of gasoline in the eastern states. The fuel oil situation is just as bad. To cope with that, Henderson has cut fuel oil rations for nonresidential buildings in the area to 45 per cent of their normal supply. It was the only way of avoiding another cut in the rations for home heating. But it may force some radical changes in the living habits of the civilians in the shortage area. For instance, oil-heated public schools may be forced to close for the winter. One big high school in Boston already has closed. Restaurants, theaters and other public places may have to adopt schedules of being open only during certain hours. And churches using oil for heat may have to double up with other denominations and take turns at Sunday services.

May Stop Meetings Washington, Jan. 8. — Conventions and other business gatherings soon may be casualties of war. The War Production Board has ruled that such things as promotional sales programs, trade meetings and conventions are not essential to the war program. And it has advised Defense Transportation Director Eastman to eliminate passenger travel or shipment of samples and exhibits to them. o An amphibian plane in military slang is often called a “dilck.”
