Get your farm in the fight!
A smiling farmer in a work shirt and hat leans over baskets of tomatoes, corn and potatoes. Behind him bombers fly over a ship and a smoking factory, and a Food for Freedom emblem sits at lower right. The farmer is the plain-folks figure; the war machinery behind him ties farm work to the fighting (transfer).
