00:15Il mondo è afflame
00:18All the peoples of the United Nations
00:20Are fighting the savage enemies of freedom
00:22In many lands, towns are ravaged
00:25Countrysides laid waste
00:27By ruthless Axis hordes
00:28Farms, cattle and crops have been destroyed
00:31Ruin, destitution, hunger
00:34Stalked the helpless victims of the cruel aggressor
00:37But in their darkest hour
00:38Comes a light of hope
00:40A light that must grow stronger
00:41And will grow stronger
00:43It is the hope of American agriculture
00:45Though this nation must fight
00:47To keep invaders from its own shores
00:49Its farmlands are abundant
00:51Greater even than the areas of Norway
00:53Sweden, Denmark, Spain
00:55Portugal, France, Switzerland
00:57Great Britain, Poland
00:58Czechoslovakia, Belgium
01:00Holland, Yugoslavia and Greece
01:03And spread over this vast land are the farmers
01:06Their wives and their children
01:08Thirty million
01:09Twice as many as the Axis has soldiers
01:12Grim farmers with sleeves rolled up
01:15Ready for sacrifices
01:16These embattled farmers are armed
01:19Their weapons are the panzer forces of food's battle line
01:23Farm machinery
01:24Battalions of combines
01:27Regiments of trucks
01:28Divisions of corn pickers
01:30Potato diggers
01:31Planting machines
01:32Columns of milking machines
01:34And all these machines kept in repair
01:36By farmers and their sons
01:37Under the stress of war
01:39These farmers
01:40Pouring out bumper crops
01:42To fill many a bare cupboard
01:43The farmer with his wheat crop for this year
01:4652 billion 800 million pounds of wheat
01:49If all this wheat were made into flour
01:51There'd be enough to snow under the entire German Panzer Army
01:56Looks to me like another Russian winter
01:58Or if all this flour had been baked into bread
02:00There would be enough loaves to build an Egyptian pyramid
02:03And another, and another, and another
02:05Placed a mile apart
02:06They'd stretch the length of the Suez Canal
02:09Supposing this flour had been made into spaghetti
02:11Look at the sweater you could knit
02:13Just a snug fit for old Mother Earth
02:16Corn
02:172,850,000,000 bushels
02:19If all this were grown into one huge ear
02:22It would make a bridge from London to the Black Sea
02:24And that hangs right over your head, Adolf
02:28Soybeans
02:29160,000,000 bushels
02:31Ground into flour
02:32It would make a loaf that would fill Red Square in Moscow
02:35And it has double the nutritive value of meat
02:39Potatoes
02:3930,000,000,000 pounds
02:40Just about twice as high as the Rock of Gibraltar
02:43Some potatoes
02:45Here we have the Matterhorn in Switzerland
02:47And this year's crop of tomatoes
02:491,800,000,000 pounds
02:52Vegetables
02:53All kinds of them
02:54There'd be enough to cover the wall of China
02:561,000,000,000 bushels of them
02:58Yes, and we're producing vitamins and food concentrates
03:02Packed with enough power to bowl over the Axis nation
03:05That was vitamin X, boys
03:07Just to mark the spot
03:10Fruit juices
03:11Billions of gallons
03:12If pressed from our fruit crop of 35 billion pounds
03:15There would be enough to keep old faithful geyser gushing for nearly four months
03:19Or if all the fruit were made into one enormous pie
03:22It would measure 25 miles in diameter
03:25My, what a time a pie thrower could have with that
03:30Milk
03:31125 billion pounds of it
03:34If all this flowed over Niagara Falls in a steady stream
03:37It would generate enough electricity to light every factory in New York for one hour
03:41And besides, we'd have enough to give our children free milk with school lunches
03:46Or should we churn this milk into butter?
03:48War-flooded fields of Holland could be reclaimed by dikes it would build
03:53And if made into cheese, it would make a piece equivalent to this much of the moon
03:57Just imagine a fire made from four volcanoes the size of Vesuvius
04:01And a griddle 500 square miles in area
04:04That's what it would take to broil the 30 billion pounds
04:07Of meat American farms are producing
04:10This little girl grown plump on a diet of our 11 billion pounds of fats and oils
04:15Would outweigh a hundred super dreadnoughts
04:17And what's more, she'd black out all of Berlin
04:23American hens are busy too
04:24Laying 50 billion eggs
04:26If all these were made into one huge fried egg
04:29It would cover all the United States and Canada
04:32And don't forget, we have enough bacon to go around it
04:35And here come the pigs, 100 million strong
04:39Just think of it
04:40Two pigs for every person in Great Britain and Ireland combined
04:46Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
04:49Not the farmer of the United States
04:51Who works and sacrifices to fill the holds of victory ships
04:54Ships turned out by men and women working night and day
04:57Ships that must be fought through dark oceans where submarines learn
05:01Ships started by aircraft
05:03More and more of them
05:04Ships protected by the blasting fire of men of war
05:10Ships loaded with food for freedom
05:12Produced, fought through and delivered to all who fight
05:16For the freedom of speech
05:18Freedom of worship
05:20Freedom from want
05:23Freedom from fear
05:25Under this insignia is shipped food that will win the war
