..... America's farms will need Men

Many a farm-bred boy is now "plowing" roads through jungles, clearing airstrips and digging foxholes. When this "battlefield farming" is done there aremany reasons why he'll be needed back on the land, many reasons why it will provide him a worthwhile livelihood:

Amerlca'e farms are today doing a bigger job than ever before ••• feeding not only our armies but help­ ing to feed our allies and many of the liberated peo­ ples as well.

Many farms are now being worked by older folks who had thought their active farming days were over, and with the help of temporary workers and . neighbors.

After the war, farms, which normally provide liveli­ hoods for almost a quarter of this country's workers-w.ill continue to need men so that there will be plenty of food for a healthy, vigorous America and for export, too.

Farm implements will, require Nickel

One of the farmer's unseen friends before the war was Nickel. Nickel steels and other Nickel alloys helped make pos­ sible the implements that put many a farm on a paying basis-the sturdy, agricultural machinery that has helped men of the soil Increase and improve their crops. these Today Nickel alloy implements are standing up to their jobs, just as Nickel in fighting equipment is serving the farmer's sons in uniform. Tomorrow Nickel, as an in­ gredient of many alloys, including Monel and Stainless Steel, or as a protective coating, will help give the farmer and industry even better tools with which to rebuild and replenish a war-torn world. Manufacturers with metal problems are invited to consult Nickel's Technical Staff. 7\ r:':'II"fiOnal.1 � � I COm/HUIlI.lne• TTC'KE'L N_ Yorio: 6. N. Y.
