^1 in his wonderful 
* proclamation of Apr. 
15, 1917: 
.... 4 The importance of an adequate 
food supply, especially for the present 
year, is superlative. Without abundant 
food, alike for the armies and the people 
now at war, the whole great enterprise on 
which we have embarked WILL BREAK 
DOWN, AND FAIL. 
The world’s food reserves are low. .. . 
Upon the farmers of this country, there¬ 
fore, in large measure rests the fate of the 
war and the fate of the nations. MAY 
THE NATION NOT COUNT UPON 
THEM TO OMIT NO STEP THAT 
WILL INCREASE THE PRODUCTION 
OF THEIR LAND, etc. 
You heard the from the head 
of your nation addressed directly to 
. What have you done about it? The

this letter from a 
Molineuser: 
The Moline - Universal 
Tractor has proven to 
be one of the best invest¬ 
ments that I have ever 
made. It has been doing 
more than I expected of 
it. I have plowed 60 
acres this fall. The Mo¬ 
line - Universal Tractor 
andtwo horses constitute 
the power of my IGO-agre 
farm and there is very 
little work left for the 
horses to do. When the 
week is past, we find that 
more time has been spent 
caring for the horses 
than for the tractor. It 
is a little wonder when 
it comes to pulling a load 
up hill.
