AMERICA MUST
. CONSUME LESS
Hoover Issues Plain Warning To
United States World Is
Short Of Food
associated Press BY U. s. Naval Com
munication Service) ',t o..

WASHINGTON June B. Reduce
food consumption and increase the out.
put of food. One billion bushels of
cereals, besides fats, sugar and other
staples will be needed by the Allies
of America and neutrals next year.
These are the outstanding features
of the report ON the food supplies and
needs of this nation and the allied ma,
tions, prepared by Herbert @. Hoover,
food administrators, and published yes
terday. H..s~
Hoover's report is practically world
food census, for it takes into considera.
tion the needs of America and Europe,
and the available food supplies therein,
as well as the available supplies in
both North and South America, Asia
and Africa, on which the nations fight,
ing the Huns can draw. . ~
Duty Of United States
The primary purpose Of the report
was to discover what duty devolved on
the United States and what the nation,
both government and private individ.
uals, must do to sustain the fighting
forces and the people Of the countries
allied with America in battling 'Prus'
sianism. 49,.
Hoover in his report shows that Eng.
land, France, Belgium, Italy, Portugal,
Serbia and the other Allied powers and
certain neutral nations will require one
billion bushels Of cereals during 1918
to sustain their armies and their civil.
ian populations. This figure takes into
consideration the neutral nations OF
Europe that must be considered both as
economic and political factors in the
world war situation and the require,
ments Of these neutral nations in food
for their people that they may continue
to produce commodities of value to the
Allies. "4.+ &G
other Supplies Needed .
The required billion bushels of ee
reals is in addition, says the report, tC
immense quantities Of fats and fat
producing foods, sugar and other staple
food products. l1.t@r
In compiling the report, Hoover has
taken into consideration the production
of these required food articles not only
in the United States, but in Europe AM
other places abroad. His figures show
that the total production abroad will bC
sufficient to meet only small portion
of the demand and that on America
falls the herculean task of supplying
the balance of the world 8 food supply
that the world may live despite Germal
piracy, militarism and barbarism.
Must Reduce and Produce
"lt means, says the report, "tha
we must reduce the. consumption o
food in this country and increase tn
production. "
In previous estimates, Hoover place,
the amount of grain that the Allies will
need this year at billion bushels

HOW MANY KNEW 1T

Have you ever had occasion to
hunt hurridly through several books
of reference to find the standard
weight of certain article2 We
have, and usually failed to find it.
Yet the weight of practically every
Georgia product is fixed by state
statue and can be found in the code.
A Triton attorney recently had
an interesting experience. He want
ed to know the weight of bushel
of certain kind Of grain and in
search thereof hunted through seve-
raj hand reference volumes and an
encyclopedia but failed to find it..
At last it occurred to him that the
weight Of grain grown in Georgia
was fixed by law; he looked in his
code, and there it was. Not only is
the standard weight and measure
for practically all articles of barter
and sale fixed 10y law, but the Or
binary of each county is furnished
with tested weights and measures
by which all scales and measures Of
buyers and sellers should be regula-
ted.
In Section 1880 of Parks code Of
Georgia laws these standard weights
can be founI. We give the follow

MARKET BUREAU
ON COTTON SEED

Atlanta, Ga, Nov II, Special |
The State Bureau of Markets of the
Georgia Department Of Agriculture
has lst issued the following state
ment relative to the cotton seed sit
uation, which will be of interest to
Georgia farmers generally:
The State Bureau of Markets {
the Department Of Agriculture dc
sires to call the attention Of the
farmers of Georgia to the unusual
conditions which have developed il
the cotton seed market, following
the action Of the government food
administration, in regulating sup
plies held by buyers and mill men.
The principal government regu-
lation which, it is said, has been
used by those interested to bring a.
bout the. downward tendency in the
price of cotton seed, is an order di-
rected by the food administration
bureau to mills and buyers, prohibit
ing them from having on hand at
one time more than so days supplies
or just enough to keep them going
for 50 working days.
The natural result of this order
is that those mills which have on
hand all the supplies they are allow
ed to carry, are temporarily out of
the market, and the price has been
affected accordingly.
1T should be clearly and dis.
tinctly understood, however, that
the government has in no sense
sought to regulate either supply or
price of seed in the hands OF the
producer; and the farmer who has
seed Of his own production, regard
less of where he has it stored, may
hold it Just as long as he wishes,
without fear Of government inter
ference. 1t is only necessary that
he shall have produced the seed
himself, and that title to it shall
rest in him.
If there is sect enough in the
hands Of the farmers, and it should
be held until the amount allowed
the crushers is consumed, when they
would have to go back into the mar
ket, it is reasonable to assume that
with competition in the open mar
ket thus restored, the price will re-
turn to what it should be.
1T is impossible, of course, for
any one to tell what manipulators,
taking advantage Of the least oppor-
tunity that may be offered them,
will be able to do with the market;
but it is and always has been the
opinion of this bureau thatthe price
of cotton seed should be maintained
on practically the same parity with
hog lard. Before the war began and
since cotton seed oil has sold at a.
bout , cents a pound under hog
lard, and has steadily maintained
that position; now it is selling at s
cents pound less than hog lard
and the difference is too great. 1t
is clear, as We see it, that cotton
seed products are not bringing e
nough, and in our opinion the
crushers should uphold the price Of
their own prodncts, rather than to
permit lnroads to be made upon
