GETTING READY.

Now that active preparations
are being made by the farmers
for the coming season, it is
clearly apparent, in view of the
world food shortage, that a eam-
paicn {0 stimulate production
during the coming summer. will
be necessary. With the present
world-shorlave and the the dan-
ger of famine in many countries
it is self-evident that greater
crops must be taised if the world
is to be fed next year, -

In the past the government
has carried out a more or jess
extensive publicity campaign for
inereased production and for less
waste, and its efforts have met
with enccuraging success, but

; despite the good work done, even
greater campaigns will have to

shall make up her share of the
- existing 40 per cent. subnormail
food pradnetion of the world,
Siarvation appears to be afar
off, but itis nearer than is real-
ized. ‘Therefore, in order to
keep hefore the people the fact
that more ceonomy and more
production is-essential, the eam-
*.:> paign towards that end should
be prosecuted with the utmost
vigor.

The Farmers’ Duty

We at home, especially the far-
mers, can greatly help bring this
war toa vietortaus end by more
food production, cultivate “nore
land, grow more wheat, raise
more hogs and more beef, The
food production of the world is
40 per cent below normal; the
ery goes forth for more food.
We are well aware of the. labor
shortage, and we ave’ beginning
to vealize the food situation.
Some 25,000,000 practical and
experienced workers of the land
are fighting or engaged in muni-
‘tion work. In a great many
cases their places cannot be filled,
This throws a greater responsi-
bility upon .the farmers who are
running shorthanded. We in
Canada can help bring victory
nearer in another way~by eating
less bacon, less beef, and less
flour bread, . Of those and other
luxuries we can deprive ourselves
without harm; eat more egps,
more polatoes,’ more fish, ‘more
“oatrneal, cornmeal and graham
_” breads... ‘The food .required: by
~* our. armies, ‘and. those of our. Al-
_ fies, giving: thdin’‘the-hecessary
