Recognizes Importance
Of Food, Feed, Fiber
The Marshallj.Troduction Credit Ax-
■oelatlon recogSpk‘4 the importance
of the Production of Food. Feed, »n«l
Fiber during this World Crisis. It is
■ well known fact that farmers in
this election have the Land. Equip-
ment, Livestock and the "Know How"
to do u full share in our Defense
Program, but in many cases should
require some very definite planning
*h to the products that they are to
fuecish and practices to bo used »u
obtaining the desired production.
The Nation is calling on every
farmer to use his land and all his
■kill for the Defense of America,
NOW. This, of course, means that
every farmer should be certain that
tie is including at least some of the
things that Uncle Sam is needing, in
bis program this year, and make a
very definite effort to produce his
part in our defense. It would no
doubt be practical for any farmer to
work with his AAA Office, County
Agent, Home Deminstratlon Agent,
Vocational Teachers and others in
determining the Items most needed
in his county, and then set himself
to the task of really producing the
Products he is best prepared to pro-
duce. It will do two things: First. It
will help win the war: Second, it
will add to his family income for
fair prices are guaranteed for the
duration.
The Marshall Production Credit As-
sociation being a furiner's Coopera-
tive Organization is well able to un-
derstand farmers needs in financing
their business to include extra prod-
ucts under conditions such as we
now have. This Association is playing
a substantial part In financing Food
for Victory at this time.

Bakersfield. California
April 14. 1942
Dear Folks:
It's a happy thought to know wo
actually began our army training
this morning. This will be our loca-
tion fo rthe six weeks of basic-
training.
Quarantine regulations keep us
confined to this immediate area for
two weeks. After that, provided noth
ing breaks out to prolond the period,
we can get about with more liberty,
go^to town, etc
There haa been more rain than suu
to welcome us to California.
I’m going to like it better here than
at Salinas. It was chilly and damp
there, just a few miles off the ocean
That Is where we expect to be wh*n
this six feeks of training is done.
Salina is 106 miles from San Fran-
cisco. Bakersfield is in the interior
and gets more sunshine, 1 hope.
There is an oil field near here.
We had been on the train three
nights and three days when we ar-
-rived in Salinas. We left there Mon-
day ^morning about 9:00 o’clock and
reached here about 5:00 p. ni.
We arrived In Los Angeles before
midnight, Friday, and’ slept until
time to get out and move our hags
to the Southern Pacific train for
Frisco before eating bruakfast. The
train pulled out of the station at
lx)s Angeles about 8:30 a.' ni. We
went through part of Los Angles and
through Glendale and Burbapk with-
out tver really getting out of town.
The trip northward from Isis An-
geles was a pleasant one with green
vegetation bejeweled with flowers to
beseen almost, everywhere.
The towering Kucalypus trees bor-
der great stretches of right of way
of both railway and highway, and
stand in planted tracts in many
places.
Walnut groves and citrus orchards
are evidence of the productivity of
the irrigated land.
The first glimpse of the Pacific
came at ten minutes till eleven, Sat-
urday morning, when we were Just
south of Ventura. Most of the time
for more,than three hours we could
see the ocean as the railway car-
ried os in and out among the bills
and right along the shore.
At one stop with a window open
we could hear the roar of the break-
ers,. sounding like an enormous wat-
erfall. The ohean breeze was pretty
cool.
We woflt through five tunnels be-
tween Los Angeles and San Luis
Obispo and five more between there
and Salinos.
Out of iSan Luis Obispo the train
had an extra engine hitched on in
front for the climb around and about
and over the hump. Here the South
ern Pacific turns and twists more
than does the Santa Fe In northern
Arizona.
The trip brought ns through a lot
of scenic country, a lot of desert and

Kooky Mountains. Indeed! but old
“Nick” can have most of It, as far
as I am concerned. The contrast be-
tween 'he desolatioon of Arisona and
the rich green of some of the Cali-
fornia countryside was striking.
The multiplicity of prognostics
tions as to where we were going
Just about completely ceased wheu
we Crossed the New Mexico line.
Even then- the distance covered had
exceeded the fondest expectations.
When we hoarded the train for Los
Angeles, the lieutenent in charge told
us we were bound for the Air Base
at Salinas. Not until then did we
have any idea where we would land.
There were no soples of the Dallas
News available in the station at Los
Angeles.
The highest altitude we took note
of was in crossing the Arizona Divide
at 7,85r> ft. This continental Divide
was crossed at an elevation Just
slightly higher than that In Western
New Mexico.
The crossing of the Arizona Di-
vide was Just west of Flagstaff, to
the northward from Flagstaff a enow-
capped peak was visible for hours
from the train as we approachtd and
as we pulled away from it.
Beeimiing at Clovis, all stops for
meals were made at Fred Harvey es-
tablish nientx. These were Clovis, N.
M. Winslow and Sellgman, Arizona;
and Bar*tow and Los Angeles, Cal.
The food was mighty good. The only
kick I might have is that Uncle Sam
spends a bit too much to feed us
soldiers when he sends ui^ traveling.
We ate two meals on the Dining Car
of the train Saturday.
The Air corps works seven days a
weak. Working on Suneay makes me
feel just like old timet) of course.
Officers.form the Air Base at Salluas
have charge of our training here at
Bakersfield. The huso at Salinas is
used by an Observation Squadron.
We see some United Airliners at
the alrpora here by us as well as
some big army planes.
I haven’t had a ship of mail to dato
since I left home. April 2nd. Please
take the hint and let me hear from
you right away!
Love.
