CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Food Question Still Vital.

II. Is. Sproui. federal tood admlnis-
traitor for Virginia. returned yesterday
from Washington. where for the past
two days he has been attending
federal food administrators of the
United States Forty-six of the forty
eight administrators were present IN
person the other two states we're rep
resented by deputies
Fresh from his recent interviews
with food controllers of the allied
nations a, London. Mr.. Hoover out
lined results already accomplished
and future policies TO be developed.
The administrators presented the local
problems OF their states. and there
was general exchange OF views as
TO how these could best be worked
out Discussions of new programs
for national conservation of wheat
and cereals, meat. sugar. -four, mill
feeds. cotton seed and its products.
etc occupied the attention OF the
meeting for the two days.
Mr. Sproul states that thAre IS no
foundation upon which to base hope
that need for food conservation passed
with the harvesting of good wheat
crop this year. On the contrary. IL Is
plain that the drains OF war upon eur
man power will inevitably result in
shorter crops from this time forward,
and reserves must be built up now
through the continuing sacrifices OF
the people, and the careful regulation
OF the food industries Otherwise we
shall not be able to meet the increas-
ing needs of the allies and of our own
soldiers abroad.

OF these cereals our shipments I'd

I017-1S to Allied destinations were
Wheat 181, 100000 bushels and Of rye
100000 bushels, a total of 4,90O..
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1916-17 were
Wheat 100000 bushels and rye
2,300,000 bushels, total Of 137, 400, O0e
bushels. In addition some 10000. O0e
bushels Of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest OF
wheat will be therefore, about 141, 0OO.-
900 bushels, or total of 154, 300, O0O
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In adj
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us. and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
"This accomplishment of our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly II we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1861
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200, 100000 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. "This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only Just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people De
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population In planting a much
increased acreage In 1917, not only was
there a very large failure In wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn Is our dominant crop.
'T am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote In
concluding his report, "that all the
millions OF our people, agricultural an
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel a verU
DEFINITE satisfaction that In year of
universal food shortages In the north.
ern hemisphere all Of those people
Joined together against Germany have
come through into sight Of the coming
harvest not only with wealth and
strength fully maintained, but with
only temporary periods Of hardship.
"1t is difficult to distinguish between
various sections of our people--ths
homes. public eating places, food
trades, urban or agricultural popula-
tions-in assessing credit for these re-
suits, but no one win deny the domd-
nant part of the American women"

OUR SAVED FOOD
FED THE ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi
dent America Conserved 14I-
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased BY
s44,eoo,ooo Pounds

Conservation measures applied ~
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and tC our own forces overseas Ill.,
100000 bushels of wheat and 644, 6OO,-
900 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at 1,4O0y 000,0 600.
This was accomplished In the face of a
serious food shortage In this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, In let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions OF bushels Of wheat
during 1918 and the shipment OF
meat during 1e17-18.
The total value Of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to 81, 100000, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments Of meats and fats
(lncluding meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:
Fiscal year 1861. =. g, 166, SOC, 900 lbs.
Fiscal year 1917-1s. BOIL, 100. 900 lbs.

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreclably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The increase In
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight Of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect ofithese efforts began
to bear their best results In the last
half Of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100. 600
pounds, as against 1266, SOC. 900 pounds
