Mississippi State University - Reveille Yearbook (Starkville, MS)

Page 12 text:

GE During the past few years the Reveille has endeavored to present to the students of Mississippi State a colorful picture portraying the activi- ties and developments of some section of Mississippi. This year, the All Out War Effort of the State of Mississippi is our theme. It is our purpose to present to you a few of the more im- portant things which the people of Misissippi are doing to hasten victory. Mississippi is nationally known for its rich delta and farming sections. Since the beginning of the war, the farmers of the State have doubled their effort to produce the food needed by the soldiers on foreign fields and here at home. Many of their number have left the farm to join the armed forces, or to work in the nation ' s defense plants; therefore, to those remaining has come a demand for food heretofore unheard of in the history of the nation. These overwhelming demands have been met by the tireless and never- ceasing efforts of our farmers. Our first tribute, therefore, is to the men and women who provide the Food for Freedom.
