ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914, to
January /, 1913, is given by figures
just announced by the u. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the
United States has furnished complete
yearly ~rations for 57,l00,9 1893 people.
In addition there was enough extra
protein to supply this portion of the
diet for 22,194,570 additional men,
The total export Of wheat and
wheat -four to the three principal
allies is equivalent to about 384 ,o00,-
600 bushels Pork exports for the
three and one-half years amounted to
almost 1000, 000, 900 pounds. Exports
of fresh beef totaled 43,4S4 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1918-04-26
Great Wheat Stocks Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that is
putting the allies and the United
States on wheat f~ations. Great stocks
of wheat are isolated in India and
Australia. 'At great sacrifice in ship
space and use the aihes are forced
to secure some wheat from Argen-
tina.
On January 1 Australia had stored
loo, oo0, 900 bushels Of wheat that was
ready for export.but there were nc
ships. Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of so,ooe, 600
bushels. Now Australia has approx
mately 100000 600 bushels waiting
for ships. +
India, at the same time, had TO-
100000 bushels of wheat stored for
export. During April $4,000. 600
bushels more out Of the new crop will
be added to the pile.
1t is not a problem that the wheat
does not exist in the world-it is en-
tirely a problem Of shipping, which
has thrown on America the obliga-
ton Of dividing our stock with the
allies.
