What are You Going to Eat? 
FEW YEARS AGO we did not dream that food ration- 
ing would be necessary in our country. In Europe 
where foodstuffs were largely imported, rationing was not 
surprising, but it could not happen here in America where 
overproduction was believed to be a problem. 
Now, despite unprecedented production of meats, dairy 
products,. vegetables, and many other foods, there is and will 
be more rationing. Long hours of hard labor by America’s 
farm families and generally favorable growing conditions 
will be needed. We must do our best to supply our fighting 
men, industrial workers and allies. It will not be easy, con- 
sidering the shortage of farm labor, lack of new equipment 
and overloaded transportation facilities. 
Meats, also canned, frozen and dehydrated foods may not 
be plentifully available to civilians and this leaves the ques- 
tion, “What are you going to eat?” 
The answer is, use as much as possible, of locally grown 
foods. Local farmers can increase production of poultry and 
animals. Local market gardens and home> gardens now 
become a vital source of food supply; a “orowing front” 
back of our first line of offense.
