1942 — A Banner Year for Agriculture 
GRICULTURE faces the most important year in its history. American 
farmers must produce more and more ‘Food for Freedom.’ It’s 
All Out production for VICTORY now. 
Production goals set are the largest ever contemplated—highe! 
industrial activities due to the Defense Production mean greate! 
increased consumer demand. Britain wants our farm products 
to the tune of a billion dollars. 
Reduced imports of competing products assure good prices. 
Agriculture, therefore, is in a most favored position. 
WHAT PART WILL YOU PLAY? 
It’s a patriotic duty to plan carefully for maximum production 
of the crops our Government needs. 
To help plan, this new Annual has been sent to you. It has 
assisted thousands of the best farmers in the U. S. A. during 
the past 54 years. It gives authentic information from Experi- 
ment Stations—and quotes lowest direct-to-you prices on 
“Master Farmer’ Seeds—the best “Old Mother Earth’ produces. 
We hope to be of service to you during this historic year— 
but advise ordering early. Due to the exceptional demand 




THE HOME OF MASTER FARMER SEEDS and many crop shortages, some stocks may be sold out early. 
Let us work harder than ever to keep “Old Glory” forever 
“Crow Food For Freedom” flying over the Land of the Free.

morale among soldiers and sailors. 
Our national self-interests and our human- 
itarian instinct challenge us to do this 
job of producing food and do it on a scale 
that will bring victory. 
In the day of victory when the nations sit 
down at the Peace Table, our food stock 
piles ready to be drawn on by the famished 
people of the Old World, will give great 
force to our views. They will show once 
and for all that democracy builds for the 
needs of common men. 
By winning our American battle of farm 
production, we will help to make it pos- 
sible once again for men in all parts of 
the earth to live in comfort, in tolerance 
and in freedom.’’
