THE NEGRO WITH THE
GOVERNMENT
One Year of Food Conservation

The American people were ask
ed to prOVide-as a patriotic du-
ty-wheat, meat, fats and sugar
for our associates in the war and
their dependents. The following
results will show that Americans
did their duty. The Negro who
has large part in the handling
of food can feel a pride in what
was done in the matter of saving
wheat, meats, fats and sugar.
Wheat-The amount of wheat
above our normal needs for 1917
1918 was 20,000,000 bushels
in other words. that is all we could
have shipped unless our home
consumption could have been re-
duced. If we continue to save at
the present rate we shall be able
to send to our soldiers and our as
SOciateS in the war before the har-
vest of 1918 is entirely in, almost
l70.000,000 bushels-or, in terms
OF our savings. we have done with
out 130,000,000 bushels of wheat
to help win the war. The whole
sale price is now $10.1S.
Pork-Meat-The number of
hogs in the United States before
the war was about 100000 below
what 1t ought to be. The United
States then sold to foreign coun-
tries about 55,000,000 pounds Of
pork per month. In March. 1918,
we were able to ship to our soldiers
and our associates inthe war over
300,000,000 pounds of pork iii ad-
dltlOn because our people answer
ed the Government s call to grow
more pork and eat less of it. and
we have saved and placed in stor-
age 1.000,000000 pounds of pork.
lard, etc.
Beef Before the war this coun-
try was shipping less than 2,000,-
600 pounds of beef each month.
We sent 96,9S2,000 pounds of beef
in May, and with the people saw
ing i'll the future as they are now
our boys will have plenty of beef.
Sugar-The United States Food
Administration is now asking that
the people Of the United States
reduce their consumption of sugar
to three pounds per month per per-
son for the balance of the year.
This is asked in order that the
people of England may have two
pounds per month per person, and
the people of Italy one pound per
month per person. If the people
Of the United States live up to this
requirement there is absolutely no
danger Of a sugar shortage.
The average price throughout
the world in the past year has been
about twenty cents per pound,
while in the United States, because
of regulation, it has been ten cents
a pound or less. Every one cent
advance in the price of sugar
means about $S4.000,000 to the
people of this country.
