Farmers Prepared For U. S. Defense

Agriculture is prepared for hational defense better than any other industry, according to N. E. Dodd, western regional director of the AAA. Farmers are better trained to produce all the nation needs without damaging the land as was done during the World war, and there is enough food and fiber for every use. There is enough wheat stored on farms and in elevators to' feed the people next year if no more wheat is grown. We have enough cotton in storage for a two-years’ supply if we don’t raise another bale.« And there is a half billion bushels of corn in storage so there will be plenty of grain for live-stock feed.
