FARM MOBILIZATION DAY

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

The people of this country may well be grateful that for three successive years the farmers of the United States have given us record harvests. Every pound of food finds use in wartime. Our soldiers, sailors, and marines require large supplies of food both in this country and abroad, and these three record-smashing years of farm production will mean much for victory.

Farmers may justly be proud of the production record of agriculture. They have achieved this record in spite of many handicaps, and the country owes them a debt of gratitude. Although they have produced much this year, the nation will require even more of them during the year that is now before us. In full realization of the many difficulties affecting farm production during wartime, the people of this nation place reliance on the zeal, devotion, and unstinting efforts of farmers to do their part toward ultimate victory. Food is no less a weapon than tanks, guns, and planes. As the power of our enemies decreases, the importance of the food resources of the United Nations increases. With this thought in mind, we must further mobilize our resources for the production of food:

December 16, 1942

[No. 2574]

Proclamation of Jan. 12, 1943 as Farm

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, Mobilization Day. January 12, 1943, as Farm Mobilization Day; and ask that on that day the farmers of this country gather, wherever possible, with Department of Agriculture representatives, Extension Service agents, vocational teachers, State officials, farm organizations, and others concerned, in order to discuss ways and means of insuring for the year 1943 the maximum production of vital foods upon every farm in this country.

I should like Farm Mobilization Day to be a symbol of a free America; a symbol of the might and productivity of our nation; and a symbol of our unalterable determination to put to full use our agricultural resources, as well as our other resources, in the achievement of complete victory.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this 16th day of December in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-two, [SEAL] and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixty-seventh.

By the President:

CORDELL HULL

Secretary of State.
