Hats $)ff to this Fellow...
m
m jlc a
He fed us, our soldiers, our allies, and a lot
of other people while we won a war. Now he’s
asked to keep the world from starving.
I He’s the American farmer.
He deserves the thanks and appreciation of
everybody. He deserves it more than most
folks realize because he increased his produc-
tion by 30 per cent in five years without
enough new tools to replace the labor he lost.
But, American farmers are disappointed—
and they have a right to be. They expected
that the end of the war would bring them an
opportunity to replace their patched, repaired,
weary and over-worked farm implements.
Of all of our shortages, that in farm tools
and implements is the most serious.
Strikes have caused the shortages in farm
implements—strikes in steel, strikes in coal,
and strikes in the farm implement industry
itself.

In the steel industry alone, the production
of steel in the ten ’months following VJ day
was 19 million tons short of expectations,
enough to supply farm needs for at least five
years. Most of the decline was due to strikes.
That is why the steel industry has not been
able to catch up with the demand for new
roofing, w ire, fencing, tools and all the things
of steel needed on the farm.
That is why the farmer is being penalized
through no fault of his own. This nation can-
not move ahead under the threat of ever-
recurring labor strife.
Steel mills need all the scrap iron and steel
they can get. Farmers can help increase steel
output by seruling worn-out machinery, etc., on
its ivay to the furnaces. American Iron and
Steel Institute, 350 Fifth Avenue, New
York 1, N. Y.
