Great as have been the demands of war upon our agriculture, it is cer- tain that the coming of peace will greatly -increase rather than lessen our food obligations.. This is especi- ally true of livestock and livestock products. Practically every country which has been engaged in the war, as well as neighboring mneutral states, will be clamoring to America for food. This will be particularly true of the central powers, and we should be willing to. exchange food for the right kind of peace. It is estimated that in the countries that are short of food, there are approxi- mately 300,000,000 people or three times our own population. Program for 1919.

Farmers, their families and organizations are asked to en- list in this organized movement to carry out the government, state and county agricultural program. 2. The women of the state are asked to give effective service by systematic and unified effort in’ food production such as garden- ing, poultry raising, dairying and orcharding, and in safe- guarding through economical use the nation’s resources, espe- cially food, textiles, fuel and the South.
