Tomkins Tells Lions of British
Struggle to Produce Food
The British are not yet .convinced that the "jerries", who ir
regularly bomb city and countryside will not come again in great
numbers over their little island home, but they "are braced and
Teady to take it, hoping it won't happen, of course," according
to Morton Tomkins, master of the
Oregon state grange, who spoke
to Salem Lions dub Thursday.
In one of his first public ap
pearances in this area since his
. return fromra three - months' stay
in England as a guest of the Brit
ish ministry of agriculture, Tom
kins included stories of the black
out and of the great cooperation
ot the British people as indivi
duals in his talk, concluding, with'
m discussion of SriUsb, agriculture.
The state grange head is sched
uled to address-an open meeting
t the Salem grange- -next Wed
nesday night, January 8 at the
Salem Woman's club-. - ' :
When the war commenced, Eng
land suddenly discovered she was
producing, one meal, a day for her
people; today she produces two,
has ploughed up her playgrounds
and huntsmen's parks, cleared the
brambles from the pastures and
adentificaUy. studies to produce
the most food for human beings
in the space .and with the equip
ment available.
Described by, Tomkins as "al
most a horse show from one end
of the country to the other", Eng
land could not have built her cur
rent scheme of agriculture with
out American" farm machinery, he
declared. England, too, has strikes,
he said, but her every individual
is concerned .with the war, )
Expressing his amazement at his
own earlier lack of understand
ing, Tomkins maintained that a
future peace, if bunt upon under
standing must be aided by agri
culture as well as industry. "We
must know the problems of the
farmer in other lands ... Wo pro
mised tho-- English agriculturists
that we in this country would take
the lead in calling an internation
al conference of farm" organiza
tions of the world," he declared.
: In this country, the speaker said,
country and city have . done a
splendid Job of getting together,
citing as an example the assist
ance rendered by Salem folk . In
recent harvests, but such a spirit
must continue and must spread
beyond national lines if the peace
is to be as successful as the war.
