THINGS TO DO NOW TO ASSIST WIN WAR

Every Man, Wonsan and Child, Should Help Meet Situation by Working in Garden. The world’s food supply Is short The outlook for this year’s crop is bad. To remedy these conditions in order to feed the armies and the peoples engaged in a war to win for the world a permanent peace and for all nations perfect freedom, everyone must do his part. 1 ' > The limiting factor in the production of foodstuffs right now is labor. Every man, woman, and child should help meet the situation by working in ■a garden or on a farm or by preserving the products of garden, orchard and farm. Every community should release from other forms of employment all

farm-trained labor and send it out to - the aid of the farmer. Good prices for labor should be encouraged. —rChildren in schools, able to do outdoor work, should be freed for such work and given credit in their studies for the rest of the school year. The wheat acreage should be increased at the expense of oats, and the corn acreage should be increased. Tractors should be kept going 24 hours a day, plowing and disking. These are things to do now.
