The man who plants another acre o
corn this spring. or the student who
helps cultivate it. is surely a patriot
meeting our greatest need.
London, April 21-The first and
most important duty of the American
people to their allies is to economic
on foodstuffs This is the appeal OF
Herbert c. Hoover If we do not
( do it." he declared today to the Asso.
/ ciated Press, 1--WE stand a grave
chance OF losing the war, because our
allies cannot fight without food. Our
enemies are calculating that America
| will fail in this and our allies will need
! 10 give in, America can upset these
calculations
Mr.. Hooyer's observations were
made after three weeks consultation
with members of the British French
and Italian cabinets. He also investi-
gated the food and shipping situation
and plans for American cooperation
The net result he arrived at was that
between now and the next harvest it
would require a supreme effort by the
american people.
Il feel it my duty to emphasize"
Mr. Hoover continued, 1.-The food
situation is one of the utmost gravi-
ty, which unless il is solved, may
possibly result in the collapse of ev-
erything we hold dear in civilization.
THE total stock OF food today
available in the allied world is simply
not sufficient to last till September if
America continues its present rate of
consumption. We are now face to
face with the result of last years poor
harvest. the diversion of man-power
from agriculture all over the world,
the unavailing efforts of the European
women to plant available fields fully,
the isolation of Russia, the sinking
of food ships and many other causes.
England, France and Italy are re-
ducing consumption by drastic steps
but even with all this reduction they
must have from us during the next
three months more than twice as
much food as we should have exported
normally or than we can send if we
consume as usual.
The only hope of providing the de-
fciency is by the elimination of waste
and actual and rigorous self-sacriflce
on the part of the American people.
ITO carry the Allies over until the
next harvest we must reduce our
wheat consumption 80 per cent. This
means that every man, woman and
child must forego at least one loaf
of wheat bread per week and eat
something else or less generously.
More than 40 per cent. of American
homes already are places of thrift. &C.

/ naming 30 per cent no one can deny
that there is proiiigate extravaganza
and waste. Temperance in entertain
ment, food and drink is likely to be-
come no longer an ethical question
among this class. but grim imposi-
tion OF war.
1--WE must also plant everything
and everywhere it will grow. or next
year this time the food problem win
be absolutely unsolvable and the
world will face absolute starvation.
Il do not believe there viii be any
necessity to rigidly ration the Ameri-
can people, for if democracy is of any
value as spiritual and political faith
the personal initiative and willingness
to volunteer self-sacrifice of every
member of the greatest democracy in
the world will be ample to solve the
problem"

large amount of musilasinous sub

one of peculiar texture. The tender
pods are crisp and nave a nutty flavor

able for adding consistency to soup.

plants eighteen inches apart in the

The pods must be picked when to

Kohl Rabi is vegetable which
