The women of this country are
young yet in suffering. They do
not know what it means to have
their homes destroyed, t h e T
children lost or killed before their
eyes, or driven into slavery by
the Germans. They do not know
how it feels to huddle in a cellar
all night, expecting bomb every
moment to fall on the building
over their heads. They do not
have to stand in line long hours
in heat and in rain waiting for a
meager ration of food, and then
sometimes to find they have
waited in vain and GO home
empty handed and hungry.
Whether or not they sill have to
endure this depends upon the
m amer in which they use the
food supply now. Lloyd George
of England is responsible for the
statement, and it comes after four
years OF war experience: "Only
25 per cent of the final victory
will be due to the army and navy,
brave and wonderful as their
feats may be. The larger part
will be due to. the courage, en-
durance and supreme unselfsh-
ness Of those behind the lines.

the -four survey now being taken
In Minnesota indicate that there
is in the hands of consumers suf-
ficient -four to supply the needs
of the people of the state at the
rate of 6 pounds per capita per
month, until the next crop is
available. This means that with
redistribution where surplus
exists, practically every commun-
ity will be prepared to take care
of it's own -four needs from -four
already manufactured and the
products of the mills for the rest
of the summer can be devoted en-
tirely to export shipment.
County food administrators ex-
pect to complete the final figures
in their survey shortly and for
ward the reports to the office OF
the state food administration.

for greater consumption of old
potatoes to save the large surplus
from spelling is having excellent
results. Late in March prospects
indicated that in the absence of a
special effort to secure large con-
sumption Of potatoes, farmers
would have more than 10000, 900
bushels which they could not sell.
This condition resulted from the
small movement Of potatoes from
farm to market last fall, car
shortage and the unusually Sc
we're winter which further inter
fered with shipments.
AS soon as weather conditions
moderated so that it was possible
to ship potatoes in box cars with
out danger of deterioration an
educational campaign was put on.
The press, libraries, retail and
wholesale stores, the movies-all
urged the free use of the old po-
tato as a patriotic measure.
Results now being reported to
the Food Administration show
that during April the farmer S
price for potatoes increased ma
terially and at the same time re-
tail prices have been kept down
very well. The spread between
the amounts received by farmers
and paid by consumers for pota-
toes was less early in May than
at any time last winter.
The food administration con-
tlnues to urge the wide use Of
potatoes every day and every
meal. as vegetable, as an in
gredient in bread and camou-
tagged in various ways to tempt
the appetite.
