Canada is committed to large quan­ tities of food for Great Britain - 112,- 000,000 pounds of cheese for 1941 and millions of pounds of bacon as well as vast quantities of powdered milk. This means that every wisp of hay must be placed in barns in good condition. This cannot be done with the pitiful amount of man power at present av­ ailable on farms and calls for action on the part of men who spare at least one day a week farm in the vicinity of his city, or village/ Already thousands of High School boys have been placed with farmers in various parts of the Province, and the farmers are so pleased with the magnificent response of Youth and the efficiency Shown that the Farm Serv­ ice Force has been asked to supply an .additional 500 boys. By enlisting for Farm Service, On­ tario Youth is letting Prime Minister Churchill know that “Here’s the Food to Finish the Job.”1 Adults who are not engaged in essential war industry should follow the example set by youth and heed the farmers* appeal by volunteering to work one day a week to help garner the limited hay crop. The 6,000 Farm Service Force boys and girls who are doing such yeoman service have made a hit with their cm- ployers and farmers who originally were not sold on the idea are now clamouring for them, Mr. Maclaren has applications from 500 farmers that have not been filled. Adults as well as Collegiate boys and girls, who can step into ’this agricultural breach, should write at once to the Farm Ser­ vice Force, Department of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Your help will aid in Ontario going over the agricultural top in providing" Britain with the food, necessary to help Win­ ston Churchill finish the job. They al­ so serve who feed theEmpire.
