 single season would more than pay for the tract. 

 With the shining example before them of the fighters 

 for democracy, the men of France, England and the 

 American Army helping to feed themselves, there should

 food that it is 

 possible to 

 raise there and 

 I will see to it 

 that none of 

 the surplus is 

 wasted. If our 

 boys can help 

 to feed them- 

 selves, as well
