Food for the world is growing and ripening on millions of acres, giving promise of a year of comparative plenty for America and her associ- ates in the war.

So general was the test- ing of seed before planting, on ac- count of warnings sent out by state agricultural colleges that much seed corn had been Kkilled during the winter, that practically all corn kaiser-killing food crop. Food administration propaganda has made corn one of the important human food crops.
