States that there will be a food shortage for 10 years after the war closes and America must feed the world, which means increased crop production and a greater burden on the farmers of this country. More important part of work than that of the farmers who must produce the food for the world, is the statement sent out by the bureau of agriculture. It is stated that every one must work to assist in producing more food. The state of Oregon, which has taken the lead in patriotic work, being the first state in the union to "go over the top" in the first, second, and third Liberty loan drives and the first to give more than its quota of volunteers, is taking the lead in providing for farmers. There is no great war by the writer spent the past three weeks in Wallowa county, Oregon, where there is a fairly good grain and the people are all helping harvest it. The council of defense and the mayors of the various towns of the county called a meeting of the citizens and business men and asked for volunteers to go out into the harvest fields and work. Lawyers, doctors, business men, county officers all agreed to work and signed an agreement to work from five to 20 days each in the harvest fields. And they are doing it too. There are no idlers in that county now. The men who refuse to go out in the harvest field or to some other useful work are placed in the same class as men who try to evade the draft or are slackers in other ways.
