What happened in Connecticut was
that the Junior Food Army proved
themselves a success. And anyone
can see this for himself, who goes to
the Berlin State Fair, which opens

The Junior Food Army in Connecti-

200 acres of potatoes and 800 acres or

in: the farm crops. they have kept the
food production pledge by raisingr 2;

over 25.000 chickens through the pig,

much per acre and the cost materially
less when produced by the boys and
girls of the Junior Food Army.
