The shipments Of meats and fats,
cereals and cereal products were huge
as q result OF the conservation efforts
OF the American people For 1918
the shipments Of meats were s44.60O,,
coo pounds larger than they were In
1857. This great increase was
brought about by conservation and ex,
ira weight of animals. due to the Of.
forts of the farmers.
For the last fiscal year 1s1 million
bushels OF wheat were sent and 49,
100000 bushels Of rye. Ten million
bushels Of wheat. It Is estimated. are
now in port destined for Europe or en-
route. making the total Of 1917 wheat
shipped about 141 million bushels, or
1874, 100000 bushels OF prime bread
stuffs. In addition, 10 million bushels
Of wheat were sent to neutrals.
ut is interesting to note" wrote
Mr., Hoover, that since the urgent re
quest Of the Allied food controllers
early in the year for a further ship
ment Of rs million bushels from our
1917 wheat than originally planned We
shall have shipped to Europe, or have
on the way, nearly IS million bushels
At the time'of this request our surplus
already was more than exhausted,
This accomplishment Of our people IN
this matter stands out even more
clearly If We bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1857
from net carry-over and surplus over
cur normal consumption about 200
million bushels Of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
tienching on our home loaf This last
year. however, owing to the large fall
ure Of the 1917 wheat crop. we had
available from net carry-over and pro.
duction and imports only Just about
our normal consumption. Therefore,
our wheat shipments to Allied desti-
nations represent approximately say.
ings from our own wheat bread.
These figures, however, do not con-
vey fully the volume Of the effort and
sacrifice made in the last year by the
whole American people. Despite the
magnificent effort OF our agricultural
population In planting q much in.
creased acreage In 1917. not only was
there very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature
properly. and our corn is our dominant
crop. Therefore. the consumption and
waste In food have been greatly re-
duced In every direction"

this 6 per cent, however, is included
the cost Of the containers (bags, sacks,
etc. shown as dotted area, which has
increased very nearly in proportion to
the price of bread itself. Bags now
cost about so per cent more than in
1913 and 1914.

The chart shows that the farmer is
now receiving much larger share of
the final price for his product than in
the past, and that considerable
amount of " spread" has been taken
out of other expenses.

Exclamation of Chart.l

Since 1913 farmers have been re-
ceiving for their wheat gradually
increasing proportion of the price paid
by the consumer for bread. The
amount received by the wheat grower
for his contribution to the average
pound has increased from less than
! 1-2 cents per loaf in 1918 to more
than 1-2 cents early this year. The
proportion of the whole price is shown
by the relative length of the black
