FARMERS SHOULD CARRY ON
Continued from First Page

iod; and that it will be possible to
cushion the shocks of the readjust
ment which will be inevitable if the
present conflict continues over any
lengthy period and on any large
scale.
"So, again, I urge our farmers not

overseas. Their greatest contribution
right now to their own welfare and
the national welfare is to carry on
just as before."
