URGES ECONOMY
IN USE OF FOOD
ALL NATIONS CONFRONTED WITH
CROP SHORTAGE, SAYS ROME
INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE.
Only on Account of Fact That Last
Years Harvests were Abundant
That There is Available Sufficient
Wheat to Last Until July.

Rome.-Rigid economy throughout
the world in the consumption of food
in view of the deficient crops and the
extraordinary requirements of the
European armies, is urged by the In
ternational Institute of Agriculture,
which has made the most extensive
report it has issued since the war be
gan. The institute says all nations are
confronted with grave situation.
1t is estimated that at least 2,300-
100000 bushels of wheat will be con.
sumed in the year ending July 81
1917, and that at the end of this period
the worlds surplus supplies of wheat
viii have decreased to 100000 bu
shells. The report says it is only on
account of the fact that last years
haryests were abundant, leaving a bal.
ance of $4,000, 900 bushels, that there
is available sufficient wheat for the
year ending with next July.
The worlds surplus of five cereals
wheat, rye, barley, oats and corn-is
placed at 533,000,0e0 bushels. This in
cludes the unexplorable Russian stocks
and also the stock of Roumania and
Bulgaria, The surplus of oats is placed
at 166,O00,000 bushels A general
scarcity of fodder is expected.
The total Russian stocks of wheat
now stored which, If military condi.
tons permitted would be available for
export at the nsxt harvest, are esti.
mated at 300,000,0O0 bushels.

the present system each state

that are always solid Tor one

little to either party how the

means are adopted to prevent a
part OF the electorate from cast
