"Taking into account our needs, the needs of the nations associated with us in th.. war and the needs of friendly neutral nations, our best efforts will be required to provide enouuh food in l'Jls.

The south is urged to provide food for its own people and feed for its livestock and then to plant as much cotton as can well be cultivated and harvested. To rah-ers of hoes and beef animals the werbi need for meats and fats is made clear. Farmers are uofed to join with the men on the ranges in providing sheep whose wool is needed to equip soldiers. llop to iot Enough Iifxr. DN ussing the farm labor problem the program says that while the labor situation still presents difficulties, the farmers succeeded in overcoming last year and that with better organization and specially with deferred c lassiiication of skilled farm labor, the difficulties again can be surmounted. The department states that it will continue to assist farmers in every feasible way to .-cure and safeguard their seed supplies and to prevent los.-es of foodstuffs from insect pe.-ts and diseases of plants and animals.
