ican visitor. These men who 
have faced death for three and a 
half years for you and me, fight- 
ing a battle in which we have 
just as much at stake as they 
have — these men salute an Ameri- 
can civilian with an expression of 
respect, reverence and trust that 
is absolutely past description by 
human words. 
Why do these French soldiers 
who have struggled with death for 
freedom for three and a half years 
salute the American? Recause in 
that salute they express their 
trust in America in the war; they 
express the trust in our assuming 
our share of this struggle from 
every point of view, not merely by 
governmental participation in a 
military program, but also by the 
reconstruction of our entire lives 
from the point of view of saving 
and sacrifice, by supporting them 
in the same sense that the Amer- 
ican boy who fights beside them, 
supports them, and is supported 
by them. 
Now, we, gentlemen, must be 
worthy of this trust, and when a 
French soldier salutes an Ameri- 
can civilian and he knows that 
that American is merely one typ- 
ical of a hundred and five million, 
he expects us to do our duty as 
an ally, and he knows we will do 
it! The people of France know 
that the American people are be- 
ing asked to undergo food con- 
servation and they know that the 
man who asks them to undergo it 
is the man best qualified in the 
world to lay out a program — -the 
Hoover of northern France and 
Belgium and now the Hoover of 
the United States.” 
Many farmers and growers are 
considering planting an acreage of 
navy beans this year because of the 
high prices paid for them this sea- 
son. ' Beans have this advantage 
that they may be kept over a sea- 
son if the price is not right for 
sale. They are comparatively 
easy to grow and will yield from 
eight to fifteen bushels to the acre.
