内容記述・解説/Description：Night attack on the home front. / It’s scheduled for tonight—and every night—on a million American farms. Without bands, glamour, publicity or pennants, Mr. and Mrs. Farmer and their families are valiantly fighting the critical Battle of Food. / American farmers always have been faithful guardians of this country’s way of life—staunch champions of our particular brand of free thought—free speech—free enterprise. / Today, Uncle Sam is asking them for a miracle—and he’s getting it. / He needs food for our rapidly expanding army and navy, for the millions of war workers and for the remainder of our civilian population. He needs lend-lease food—countless cargoes of it—to help keep our Allies in the fight. / Short-handed as they are, this country’s farmers are working longer hours than ever before, with every piece of mechanical equipment at their disposal, to meet ever increasing production quotas. / And steel is helping, all along the lines. Its practical application to the solution of farm problems always has been one of the industry’s major activities. It helps to make possible the dependable service that farmers are getting from their tools, tractors and other implements in these days of almost continuous operation. / Today, Republic’s mines, mills and offices are working full time on war work. Tens of thousands of hard-working Republic men* and women are turning out record-breaking tonnages of steel for ship plates, armor, aircraft, tanks, guns, bombs, shells, and hundreds of other vital products that make up the material of war. / Yet, the study of new and improved steels for farms goes on continuously at “Steel Way” Farm, Republic’s unique 500-acre laboratory. / This activity typifies the extensive scientific research in metals, markets and methods by which Republic is preparing for the future when mills and men will be kept busy with the needs of a peacetime world. / But first, a desperate struggle must be won. And the farmer, the factory worker and the man in uniform are working together in our fight for the rights and freedoms that America holds dear. / * More than 14,000 Republic men are in the armed forces of the United States. / Your buddies in uniform can smash any combination of Japanazis—if you and the farmers of American give them the steel and food they need. Keep up the swell job you’ve been doing. Millions will read about it in the April 17 Saturday Evening Post.
