SEVEN LOAVES OF BREAD
FOR EVERY PERSON IN
U. S. SAVED FROM WASTE
Farmers and Threshermen PatriotI-
caIIy Respond to Call Of Food
Administration.

From information received by the
q. S. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, 1t Is
now possible to announce with fair ac-
curacy the amount Of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods Of ham
ding According to official calcula-
tons, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 100000 bushels of wheat
with corresponding savings of other
small grain harvested and threshed In
q similar manner In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish fig
ures, reported greatly reduced harvest
losses.
The figure for wheat alone Is equiv
alent to seven one-pound loaves of
bread for every person in the United
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While OBJ
pOrtunities in this branch of conserva-
ton were large, the quantity of grain
recovered surpasseA early expecta-
tons. It is noteworthy also that re-
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation.
4 No conservation measure Of the
Food Administration, it is declared,
has received more wholehearted sup
port than that pledged and rendered
by farmers and threshermen toward
reducing grain waste at it's source.

Generous Doing Without in
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since tti
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength Of those
/ who have been bearing the brunt OF
our battles, so that they could hold ,
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden of keeping starvation from
increasing it's toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undot
the work which has been accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. MOI
stable government can be established
and maintained by a nation harasSed;
by hunger. A starving people turns !
to rioting and anarchy. Food haS4
given strength and courage to the na-f
tions fighting for democracy; 1T must
now give the nations strength and!
tranquility to re-establish themselves
in freedom and democracy.
Without our help it would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain a living ration. Since our:
entry into the war we have been con-
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut. off, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger:
many The food exported from the
United States in the past year has.
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration of twenty-five million people.
It is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies by the
patriotic, voluntary service Of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf-
f1cient to feed one-fifth Of our popula-
ton. And this was done in spite of
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was pract-
caIly nothing. An overwhelming pro-
portion of the food that left this coun-
try last year was saved out of the nor
NAL home consumption Of our own
people.
In spite of difficulties met in inter-
nal transportation and shortage of
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted to figure that few
years ago would have been unbelieva-
BILE. Even the most optimistic element
of our population faced with anxious
CONSERVATION the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
of the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled to save. They have been
appealed to on the basis Of humanity
and of patriotism. They have re-
sponded voluntarily.

WHEAT SHOWED
SPIRIT OF U. S.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW,
All the Nations Will Be Able to Re
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply Of White
Bread.

Overshadowing all other accomplish
the leadership of Food Administration
iS the history of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
; the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength Of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments Of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the peO-
pies Of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
q wheat supply which gave us only
2O,OOO,OOO bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent III, 100000 bushels of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
121, 100000 bushels.
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation Of -four brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 5000, 900
barrels of white hOur-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST Of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and~an addi-
tiOnal 100000 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies. 1t SEEM
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 1OO,OOO,OOO
bushels by July 1. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending 100000 bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first of the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1913, we had already
shipped 65,96O, 3O5 bushels since July
1. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by July Of next year
we will have sent more than 237, $780,
600 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good Americas
pledge that the bread rations of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

MEAT INCREASE
AT Time NEEDED
Producers Responded Nobly
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified In Pork Policy
Which Now Provides Chief Sup
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan Of con-
servation formulated by the U. s. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance Of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers Of this country to the
war program is Of particular signifi-
canoe, as it demonstrates tho hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministration by the meat producers IT
the country.
According to reports OF the U. 5.
Department Of Agriculture, there was
an Increase in cattle Of 1O,238,O 900 head
and 12,441, 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January 1 last. In the same
period there was decrease Of $4,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an Increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
average weight.
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall Of 1913 and the
spring Of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,6OO,OOO,OOO pounds
more Of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 9O3, liz, 900 pounds,
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1877, 599,OO pounds,
an increase Of over 374,0OO,OOO pounds
for the quarter. -
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records Of dressed
beef showed 1858, 100000 pounds as
against 1,454, 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
I, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German Oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable Jus
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage in fats.
and it is to the United States that Eu-
0oIy To rs Ia1fS(
cy. At the same time there will con-
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

BUYERS DEMAND THEIR
 PART OF THE SAVING

PHOENIX, Dec. g.-It is all well and good for the merchant through an appeal to my patriotism to con duct his business on the safety-first plan of cash and carry but if this makes for conservation why should 1 not be allowed what I save him?
 This is the line of argument which is being presented by the ultimate consumers of Arizona to Federal Food Administrator Timothy A. Riordan, while the merchants art asking that the food administration get behind the cash-and-carry move ment which already has affected one third of the urban population of the country.
 Be patriotic-pay cash and carry gan of the cash and carry system. which has been used to great advant- agc-thus far mostly to the merchant. The federal food administrator for Arizona insists that the consumer is entitled to reap the saving in time. money and labor effected, pointing out that the primary reason for re- ducing the merchants operating cx- penscs was to put a crimp in the high cost of living. Discussing this point h" says:
 Credit and delivery have been two of the most expensive parts of the system of marketing employed by grocers and other dealers in food stuffs and in dealing with the ques. ton of food prices the food adminis- trat;on saw the advantage of climin- ating them as a means for reducing prices
 'In figuring his operating expenses the merchant sets aside a certain per, centagc of his gross profits for de livery and certain per cent fo' handling credits Now it will be readily seen that if the customer pays cash and makes his own delivery he will be saving these allowances and that unless the margin of profit is rcduced proportionatcly the merchant pockets .hc saving, while the con sumner goes on paying the high prices. Under the cash and carry system prices must drop.

s. F. P. & P. LINE NOT
 AFFECTED BY CHANGE
(From Saturdays DaIlv.)

Federal control of railroads, ir- stitutcd yesterday, did not affect to the slightest extent operating of S. F. P. & P. lines in and out of Pres colt, and the wheels continued to re- volve without any change being in evidence or any intimation given that governmental charge would alter con ditions in operating or official de- partments.
 General Manager Drake when in tcrviewcd yesterday as to what official adviccs Inc had received from Wash ington or from Santa Fe headquarters at Los Angeles, stated he had not been advised from either source that anything whatever had been ordained, neither was it even intimatcd that a contemplated change was in evidence over what had been prevailing when the proclamation from Washington was formally launched yesterday morning.
 It is his belief that operating sched- ulcs arc not to be disturbed, so far as Western roads figure. while bn the other hand it seems to be the general impression in railroad circles that federal supervision will be applied mainly to lines running out of Chi cago to the Atlantic scaboard, where an immense traffic in war materials is to be handled in preference to commercial business Mir. Drake alsC stated that not an intimation has reached his office of federal official being designated to supervise or di- rect operating on the s. r. ?. & P. system, and the business was being conducted as if nothing official or otherwise had cmanatcd from the capital.
