A wartime Canada propaganda piece urges citizens to save money and conserve food crops. It extols thrift as patriotic and links personal saving to national strength, noting the buildup of funds as crucial during hard times and wartime efforts.
The text urges Canada to double its 1935 production to meet rising food demand and warns that American promises of 15,009,400 tons annually by 1937–38 may pressure Canada to increase output beyond current reserves. It stresses urgency and action to expand crops and sustain supply.
A fragmented report notes that increased ploughing leads to higher production and greater farmer consciousness. It mentions expectations of more onions and grains this fall and suggests several hundred more acres will be prepared to plant than previously.
Manitoba farmers face a new order prohibiting straw burning without Deputy Minister of Agriculture approval. A 1915 ordinance requires permission to burn any straw from last year’s crops across the province and penalties reach up to 100 dollars. Posters urge farmers to contact officials by October 18 to arrange lawful disposal and prevent fodder waste.
