The greatest war of the age is now in progress. Millions of pounds worth of extra food is required to feed soldiers and civilians. A man cannot be a soldier and farmer at the same time. Less men to farm, more people to eat, huge waste, means the greatest opportunity for farmers ever known. Therefore produce all possible from your land.

The prices of meats must rule high for many years. To produce meats we must have forage and of the best. Good lucern stands at the front rank.
