The importance of an adequate food supply, especially for the present year, is superlative. Without 
abundant food, alike for armies and the peoples now at war, the whole great enterprise upon which we 
have embarked will break down and fail."-The President of the United States. 

HELP A FARMER
Get Our to Work To-day  

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO 
YOU
"I call upon young men and old alike and upon the able-bodied boys of the land to turn in hosts to 
the farms and make certain that no pains and no labor is lacking in this great matter." 

Retired Farmers, Husky Young Men, College Students, City Men from the Country-Not Called for Military 
Service 
Others are offering their lives-You are asked merely to give a little of your time and labor to your 
country. 
JUST A PART OF YOUR VACATION? 
A FEW DAYS SPARED FROM YOUR BUSINESS? 

THE FARMS NEED YOU 

Women 
To help farm women cook the extra food and do the housework necessary to care for the harvest and other 
hands-the active "soldiers of the commissary." 

Boys and Girls 
To pick, sort, and pack fruit and vegetables. To help can or dry surplus products. To fight weeds and 
do light tasks that will release men for heavy farm work. 

A FARMER EXPECTS YOU! 
If you don't know him talk with your local farm-labor representative, or write to your county agent, 
State agricultural college, or your State labor committee-say: "I'll help the Nation by helping its 
farmers and farm women," and give your name and address.
