FOOD FOR VICTORY
By Don H. Davy, Burlington, N. Dak.Down came the order, it was from Washington.
Down to the farmer, the farmer’s wife, and son;
Up came the answer as from a single throat:
“God give the rain, we’ll raise the food, for this, too, is our battle.”Praise the Lord, we’ll raise the good nutrition,
Praise the Lord, this too is ammunition!Praise the Lord, we’ll feed the starving nations and the slaves set free!
Praise the Lord, this is our proposition,
Get to work, don’t sit around a ‘wishin’.’Praise the Lord, we’ll knock ‘em to perdition on the land and sea!
Our Secretary said it, You’ve got to give him credit,
For a son of the soil like us himself is he,
So let’s pray the Lord, to help us with our mission,
Free the world and put it in condition,Praise the Lord, enough of good nutrition
And we’ll all stay free!— February 19, 1942 | The Ward County Independent
