Business Men Harvest Potatoes ii
Texas.
The potato crop of Houston ar
Wharton counties, Texas, has be<
saved through the aid of the bus
ness men in local towns. When
was realized that the potato crt
f would be lost unless the farmers r
ceived help, the state enxtension d
rector, co-operating with Hie far
help specialist of the department t
agriculture, explained the situatic
to the business men. who closed the
offices and stores, went to the farm
and worked with the potato growei
In harvesting their crop. Such c<
operation is moaning much not onl
for the increasing of the food suppl
of the nation but is breaking (low
the barrier that in many cases ha
existed between town and countr;
according to U. -S. department of ag
riculture. Business men and farn
ers are working hand in hand to s(
cure an adequate food supply and t
further the nation's cause. Oth(
communities are planning to folio
the example set in these Texas coui
ties.
