FRED BUSCHE MAKES APPEAL Decatur. Indiana, April 25, 1917 - (Editor Daily Democrat)— Realizing that much of the work of urging more food production must be done through the press,‘as farmers are now very busy. 1 would appreciate it to see this appeal in your paper. In compliance to a letter from l’ur- • due University urging more food production. 1 hereby request that alt farmers and institute workers endeavor to raise more food. Plant more potatoes, draw your rows a little closer together, plant a good garden as it will help largiy to fill file cellar. I notice by looking at the peach tree t Hat there are many buds. It will pay you to spray your trees and put in a neat, fruit supply also. Take special care in seed corn selection to insure a good stand. Put your farm on war schedule by harnessing everything available. It will greatly profit you and show your patriotism. FREiy BUSCHE, County Chairman. FOR SALE —New Singer sewing ma. chine.
