Save Wheat Or Face Disaster

Herbert c. Hoover, United States
rood Administrator, says:
Every aspect Of the wheat situa-
ton, both present and prospective, in
tensifies the need for the greatest pos
slole limitation in the American con-
sumption of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
In the slightest degree relaxed, it
would result in serious want for the
people of the ;&lied nations before the
new crop can reach the market.
The food administration estimates
on the first of June a total available
supply until the new harvest of about
fifty-six million bushels. OF this, thir-
ty million bushels must be exported
before new wheat is available for ex-
por. II we are to maintain the alb
solutely necessary shipments to our
army and the Allies, that leaves about
twenty-six million bushels for domes-
tic consumption for the next two
months. Normal American consump-
ton is something over forty million
bushels month, so that the most lib
eral consumption at home should be
only one-third of normal.
The new harvest will not be gener-
ally available in -four until the middle
of August or early in September, al
though in the extreme south it will be
somewhat earlier"

girls of the South Georgia Normal
School, of Valdosta, wrote the Sec

been appointed food administrator.
The reply came:
PLANT gardens, large gardens. We
need food. Urge your parents and
friends to plant gardens. Then, when
you go home, put up in cans all the

way you can help abundantly."
