Cverybady's Pitching }n 
History is full of records of trying times. There has always been a way out. Sometimes 
not man’s own way. There was often something better than he could have planned. 
Who knows the final outcome of all the history being made today? 
One thing is known. A lot of feed . . . a lot of food. . . is needed the world over. Our 
country has the call to furnish a heavy part of it. Such a supply won't just happen. It 
has to be produced! 
With all the trials that must go along with such vast production, it is mighty en- 
couraging the way everybody's pitching in: Above, the widowed mother, her children 
and hired boy are carrying on their farming operations splendidly, to a degree that 
might have been thought impossible. Mother and daughter on front page are shown 
taking one part of their daily chores in stride. Many other subjects in picture and print 
throughout this book give the plain evidence of how folks are helping. Add it all to- 
gether—and you have the spirit that’s going to win this war—it won't be licked! It's 
America ... at work! The same unbeatable spirit that rules our fighting men around 
the world. 
Same as through the past 45 years, Hoffman Seeds will help too! In a year un- 
equalled for trying situations. Very short crops of many seeds. Big demands. Trans- 
portation troubles. Brand new regulations. Help shortages. But who hasn't his own 
problems to handle? 
There’s one rule for success that always has worked—and it’s working today. In 
seeds, for that “little patch,’ or hundreds of acres . . . nothing can do as good a job as 
the very best! And production just now dare not be hampered by sowing anything else. 
Other vital factors are: proper use of manure, lime, fertilizer—plus good common 
sense in their management. 
Yes ... here are seeds that really will help. Put them to work on your farm. If 
any one or more of the Farm Facts herein are of value to you—that’s fine . . . that’s 
why they’re here. 
If we'll all put our heads and hands and hearts together on this great big job, it’s going 
to come out all right.
