To this she attributed theloss of that-war. A- 1L 1 To feed the French soldiers around Verdun, more than 25,- 500,000 pounds of food a week were required. This gives a faint idea of the colossal task of feeding an army. Canada and Britain have a huge army of fighting heroes on the line ; every man ML'sT have plenty of food,in spite of a world shortage. Upon Canada’s food production all principally rely. . t of Agriculture appeals to men and boys to enlist in the farm help campaign. The Department appeals to men uni enlist in the army. Do your “bit” by helping to increase production of foodstuffs. ’lnis IS your hour or opportunity.
