Texan [Music] the San Jose Mission near San Antonio was founded in 1720 in those days Texas was under the jurisdiction of Spain because of its Symmetry and Beauty San Jose is referred to as the queen of the missions here in the Great Southwest as everywhere in our America we'll see many mm machines and tractors at work you'll see Lis middle Breakers cultivators in Cotton mm Wheatland disc plows regular disc plows and field cultivators so let us remember that agriculture is the world's most important industry in the Americas farming is not only the most important industry it is also far ahead of all the world in development and mechanization two products food and fiber make all other Industries dependent on our Farmers for America alone our farmer seed and soil must produce over 390 million square meals a day and many other vital things used by everyone every day by hard intelligent work and the use of modern machinery American farmers have attained the highest standard of living ever achieved by any agricultural people and more progress has been made along this line in the last 50 years than in all the ages [Music] before so let us remember that farming in our own American Way plays a vital part in our defense efforts and in the solution of coming world problems we keep our machines in good repair and our powder dry we'll invest in defense bonds and saving stamps instead of buying silk shirts and other non-essentials n [Music] one of the most important places in the world of today is Randol Field Texas known as the West Point of the air this school is turning out thousands of competent Pilots [Music] annually physically perfect mentally above the average the cadets at Randol field are the flower of young American [Music] manhood their feet are on the ground but their hearts are in the [Music] sky graduation day is a great day at Randol field with colorful review and all the Pomp and Circumstance that surround such affairs and eventually comes the great moment when the wings are handed out and a new group of American eagles are ready to patrol the skies for all of [Music] us the planes are ready and the new pilots are busy studying their various assignments and instructions parachutes are put on harness tested and into the ships they climb [Music] down the runway and into the Sky low over the hangers they Zoom glistening in the sun like great birds we have learned that no task is too great or too hard to be mastered in our own American way so that we may enjoy security and freedom forever more in this land of ours [Music] oh la
