yenr the Food Administrations official
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments 10 the other side had been

shipped was wheat saved by the
American people from their normal
consumption.

duced 10 terms OF cereal bushels our
shipments 10 Allied destinations were
3iO.SOO.OOO bushels, S0,9OO,OOO bushels
more than the amount SEM In 1851.
