AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL
MEASURE wheat EXPORTS

I'VE have already exported thu
whole Of the surplus Of the 1917 whea
harvest, over and above the normal de
mands Of our own population. 1t il
necessary, therefore, for the food ad
'ministratlon to restrict export of wheat
so as to retain In the United Statei
sufficient supplies to carry our owl
people until the next harvest.
. Therefore all exports Of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
TO volume OF saving made by the Amer.
lean people In their consumption of
wheat and wheat products.
1--WE continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al.
lowed, but even with all the cOnserva-
ton made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand tons Of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month Of December
alone"

BIC HERDS CONE
World War Wastes europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Ralsers Cooperate
With Food Administration IN Con-
servatIon Measures.

II Ia probable that Europe for many
wears after the war will look to a
great extent to America for Its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwlndllng under
wars demands faster than they can De
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France ana
Belgium approximately l,SOO'oOo heaa
of cattle were appropriated. tbs au-
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain prcdur'lon'
mus reducing pasturage and ha! i1uus.
A declining scale of maximum meat
nrices for live cattle was ordained I'D
England, as follows: For September
S17.76 per hundred pounds; OCTOBER
SIPS: November and December,
S16OS, and for January, Sl4.4O Inc
evident intent Of this measure was 10
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle Of France have decreased 10
total Of 12,341 900 as compared with
14SO7 900 In 1913. Today, due to lack
of forage principally, France Is pro-
ducing only one gallon Of milk where
before the war two and One-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food adj
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our fiocks and herds and TO In
crease their numbers. The stock breed.
ers of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years It has been prac.
ltice among many of the dairy people
of this country to kill male calves at
birth and in many instances the fe-
males If not needed to replenish their
herds rather than go TO the expense OF
maturing them into veal. The high
prices Of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance Of this killing. Another
encouraging fact Is 70 per cent OF
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential 10 success
in war as powder which Is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes dOubly es-
sentia an increased pork production
In this nation. In Italy grain IS now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under q recent order One-fOurth
Of the hogs were ordered to be killed.
1t Is estimated that one-half have now
been killed.

WAR BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
bays s2OO,OOO,OO0 toward the cost OF
that nations war bread. That Is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America. incidentally the
British bread Is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain hts taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought In markets Of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This Is turned over TO
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf Of four pounds to sell at Is cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents. and
the one pound loaf sells for cents.
In milling, however, IA per cent.
more flour Is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there Is com
pulsory adulteration Of 20 per cent
and an allowable adulteration Of 30
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 65 per
cent pure at its best.
In France. under conditions some.
what similar, but with larger extra
;ion, the four pound loaf sells for 10
cents.

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop In France was
less than half normal, using the crop
Of 1913 as basis of comparison.
There was shortage Of 10000, 900
bushels, or 1913 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third Of nor,
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed q
deficit Of $40 per cent. Her meat
herds In the early fall showed short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are a few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-,
feat In the war.

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD

Absolute Sin to Waste Food-Food

Europe is still sending an fnsisteiit
call for more food. We must SEND II
II the war is to 60 on efficiently. IL
we eat 1t all we cannot ship 1t, ana
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
Is needed by people who will starve II
they do not get it. the food administra'
ton states.
For the least bit OF heedlessness
On YOUR part In food conservation some
pne somewhere in the world must sur
Ter privation," an official statement
declares. "1'he food administration
has mastered the problem OF Ameri'
ca's food In such n way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept In
HE currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach in Europe.
1T Is an absolute sin to waste food'
Food has become sacred.
Food means life; II means some
body's life, and you cannot escape re
yponsibility.
There is no waste Of food among
the allied nations"

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never cOnsid-
cred any plan OF Selling foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy OF this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly 10 issue official de-
mails of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In american
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grafters who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practlced on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs, and theirs alone.
