First Line of Security
eA vanrexs security in a troubled world rests solidly on three great supports=American farms, American factor
ses, and American tramsportation,
Because of America’s Yarms we alone among the great nations of the world can feed all our people regularly, adequately, and unfailingly from the produce of our own land. Tn this nation we
need fear no famine, no blockade.
Because of our unequaled factories we can, after preparation, produce almost anything we require, and in almost any quantities, Of products that advance the human welfare, we are the greatest makers the world has ever seen.
Because of out tramsportation system= rail, water, air, and highway=we can move people and goods wherever they are needed more speedily and more efficiently than any other nation. In particular our hard-surfaced highways and out motor trucking system have no equals
elsewhere.
All these sources of national strength owe much to farm machinery. Machines make possible out vast farm production. They increase the farmer's
speed and efficiency. They bring higher

crop yields. They combat the effects of drouth, pests, and bad weather.
But farm machines have done much more than this, A century ago it required nine people living on farms to support themselves and one person in town. Tos day one man on the land supports him self and more than three people in town. America’s industrial and transportation greatness has been made possible only by this release of men from toil on the land, brought about by farm machinery. So America’s First Line of Security 18 on the farm, manned by the sun-bronzed army of American farmery-=the founda tion of out strength as a nation in time of peace or in a world at war,
This is the mechanized army of the peaceful fields, relying on machines. For more than 100 years the farm equipment industry and the men and women in it have supplied this army with constantly better machines, It is our pride that today
There is ho weakness in America’s First Line of Security, nor will there be.
