SAVING OF WHEAT
MUST CONTINUE

There must be no Stacking of the
wheat conservation program in Okla
homa, according to c. b. Ames, fed.
eral food administrator for the state.
Judge Ames' declaration was made
because of a widespread impression
that with the new crop restrictions
would be abolished
While persons who made pledges
not to use any wheat have been re-
leased from those pledges, the limit
of six pounds of -four a month for
each person in the family and the
ffty-ffty rule for substitutes still
maintain.
The food administration will exert
every energy to build up a great
wheat reserve from the estimated
billion bushel 1918 crop. Only by
building up such reserve can there
be any assurance against a possible
shortage next year. The calling OF
men into the army now engaged in
farming and unforeseen demands. or
crop failures that would bring
serious situation must be guarded
against
The Importance of such reserve
was indicated by cable to the Food
Administration at Washington from
the British Ministry of Food, asking
that America continue to send all the
wheat and other foods that can be
given shipping space, to build up a
bulwark Of supplies in England
against possible lean years to come.
With this request, which will likely
be followed by similar one from
France, Italy and Belgium. it is inn
possible for the United States, even

In the abris and shell proofs, which
