PUBLISHERS 4-ss QCIATION
Another Producer Called
The sale by Beryl Bengs today is typical among
farmers in this area. He goes to war tomorrow. Mr.
Bengs had a 20-acre ranch, milked 12 cows, kept 10
brood sows and raised his own feed. He turned out
many pounds of butterfat, veal and pigs and was a
real producer of farm products necessary to the war
needs. In that way he was giving greater service to
his country than he will as a buck private. And his
case may be applied to a dozen or more farmers in
this locality who were producing the sinews of war,
the lack of which is now agitating the heads of the
government who are beginning to fear as to how we
are going to eat next year and who is going to feed
our armies.
This is in no way intended as unpatriotic. Beryl
Bengs urged no exception for himself further than
to state his case to the Selective Board. If these far
mers, all over the country, are needed first for army
service, no American will object. But the operation
of the Selective Service Act is beginning to show de
fects in the law which should be corrected as soon as
possible—without waiting for election day to pass.
Real farmers cannot be replaced by women or old
men or inexperienced hands. Farm production is a
real job which cannot be done in a weak way or with
the proposed parity of wages.
The administration of such affairs is now urging
farmers to produce heavily next year. If the pres
ent draft is continued on farm owners and good far
mers until next spring we will have an immense ar
my and a nation illy prepared to supply the fight
ing boys with proper foods. Thousands of non-pro-
ducers are yet uncalled in cities—men who do not
produce beef, veal, pork, mutton, butter fats, feeds
and foods, and who by no hurried training can be
made to do so. Years ago it was commonly alleged
that anybody could farm but now farming is a skill
ed occupation that cannot be easily re-established.

Maintaining that America lives be
cause religion lives, the Laymen’s
National Committee announced today
their sponsorship of a nation-wide
Bible Week program to call attention
again to the faith upon which Amer
ica is founded.
The Committee, itself, was founded
two years ago by 11 laymen who
affirmed that the two factors that
have built America were "man’s con
sciousness of God” and his daily la
bor with its earnings.
From 11 men, the group has grown
into a nation-wide organization com
posed of representatives of Protes
tants. Roman Catholics and Jews. Its
efforts to stimuate religious thinking
by every means at its command have
met with a success beyond all ex
pectations, it was stressed.
