# Enlisted for Service on the Farm Front

Blank honor-roll sheet with ruled lines for names, framed in gold under an eagle and flag, with a rake and hoe on one side and a rifle and helmet on the other. Silhouettes of farm workers, a horse and a tractor run along the base. The tell for transfer is the pairing of farm tools and produce with the symbols of military enlistment, so farm labor borrows the standing of armed service.
