Help harvest war crops: join the U.S. Crop Corps
Typographic farm-labor recruiting poster: 'Help' in red brush letters over 'Harvest War Crops' in blue, with a red band at the foot reading 'Join the U.S. Crop Corps' and the Crop Corps emblem. There is no picture; the technique is faint here, and the label 'war crops' attaches the war effort to farm work.
