DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WASHINGTON To the Students and Graduates of the National Farm Schools Never before has the importance of training in agriculture been so universally recognized as during this war period when farm people hsve been called on to turn out record supplies of farm products. With the limited supply of labor and new farming equipment, increas- ing reliance has been placed upon improved farming methods as a means of achieving the needed production. These better farming methods are usually the products of research — research based upon classroom training and carried out in the laboratory or on the farm. For eight years in a row, American farmers have topped the previous year ' s food output by setting a new, all-time production record. But we cannot rest on our laurels, for the proiuction objective for 1945 calls for continued high output. Food is needed to feed our hard- working home front and our armed forces. Food is needed also to help feed our allies, just as they are helping us in many instances through reverse lend-lease. In addition there will be demand for U. S. food to help meet foreign relief needs as our armies liberate new areas. When the war is over there will be an ever-increasing demand for facts and information on agriculture. To meet the demand will re- quire many able and well-trained people — people who are skilled in research, those who are skilled in classroom teaching, and people who are skilled in the technique of demonstrating to rural people farm and home methods of better living. Because, in the final analysis, the real purpose and the real test of education is better farming and better rural homemaking. In order for education to serve the people fully it must be free to search for the unbiased truth and free to express that truth. Upon that foundation will be built a stronger agriculture and a happier rural America. Sincerely yours, Secretary
