CONWA'v, * Town Clerk, " 1" AMERICA'S "soil soldiers" are doing a wonderful job. xV Thanks to these hard working, patriotic farmers out fighting forces are the best fed in the world. A. 1 ,. In the territory served by the Chicago and North Western Line alone these "soil soldiers" are producing 57 per cent of the nation's corn and over 47 per cent of our hogs. Quite It showing for nine states. Feasting bounteously oa coro, ao wonder porkers become sleek and fat. Statistics, generally speaking, may be pretty boresome. fiat war makes them mighty important--yes, and interesting. These same mid-western states, for instance, produce 62 per cent of the nation's oats, 67 per cent of the barley, one-third of the wheat, three-quarters of the rye and flax. Then there** hay--41 per cent of ail tonnage comes from these same statefc Live stock, too, makes a splendid showing. Besides hog& these states raisp 34 per cent of our cattle, over one-quarter of our sheep, better than 31 per cent of our chickens and 26 per cent of our turkeys. Really something, isn't it? Do you,wonder we're proud of tht "soil soldiers" we serve ?«From these hard working producers to oiir fighting forces move the foods that keep our boys in top condition.;. and we are happy that America's railroads; including the "North Western," can play a part. It's one of the many transportation jobs we're doing to shorten the gap between now and victory.
