Farmers Raising Own Food Supply During Wartime
A field man for the U S Department of Agriculture says farmers are increasingly self sufficient in food since before the Civil War. New York and New England areas see farmers growing wheat barley and buckwheat for home use. In 1918 forest receipts totaled over 3.7 million dollars with livestock leases timber sales and water permits contributing additional funds. Liberty Bond conversion deadlines loom and local ads seek property for sale including a 360 acre ranch in Omak Washington and a Rocky Point Wyoming home with farm labor needed.
