Millions of Tons More Food Required This Year 
FRIENDS—consider the enormous quantities of food we, here in the United States, must grow this year 
1945 for ourselves and our millions of men in our Army, Navy, and Air Force all over the world—and the millions 
of starving people in all the countries we are freeing from the enemy. Millions and millions more tons of 
food must be provided this year than last year and it must all be grown first. 
LET US ALL DO OUR VERY BEST and plant all that we can take care of and pray that God will give us abun- 
dant crops so we can feed the starving peoples, for without these great food crops, there could be great 
tragedy, chaos and even anarchy in the world—that would be worse than war. 
THE SUPPLY OF SEEDS for 1945. The seed requirements to produce all the food needed at home and abroad 
will be tremendous. Many seeds are again in short supply due to unfavorable growing weather, therefore you _ 
will be acting wisely by sending us your entire order for your year’s supply while we have them for you. 
PLANT YOUR VICTORY GARDEN AGAIN. It should be as large as you can take care of so you can grow 
sufficient vegetables for your entire family for all summer and fall and enough extra to can and store for winter— 
at least 125 quarts of vegetables and fruits for each member of your family will be needed. 
MARKET GARDENERS—grow all the vegetables your farm will produce. City families will need and buy all 
you can grow for them, for they urgently need more vegetables. 
FARMERS—you should by all means have a full acre or two or more of vegetable crops for your own family and 
for canning and storing for winter. Don’t be caught short of food,—it could happen. And grow more for market 
also.
