$4,000, 900 bushels

Increase ......... S0,9O0,O00 bushels
OF these cereals our shipments Of
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-19 to Allied destinations were
Wheat 131, 100000 bushels and of rye
13,9O0.000 bushels, a total Of 144,9OO,-
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1867 were:
Wheat 135,1OOO0O bushels and rye
100000 bushels, total of 1877, 100000
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore, about 141, 00O,-
coo bushels or total of 154,900,O0O
bushels Of prime breadstuffs. In ad-
dillon to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon US, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
This accomplishment Of our people
in this matter stands out even more
clearly if we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1867
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200,000,000 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
proXimately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume Of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting a much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there a very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop
Il am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report, "that all the
millions Of our people, agricultural as
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel a very
definite satisfaction that In year Of
universal food shortages in the north.
ern hemisphere all of those people
joined together against Germany have
come through into sight of the coming
harvest not only with wealth and
strength fully maintained, but with
only temporary periods Of hardship.
ut Is difficult to distinguish between
various sections of our people-the
homes, public eating places, food
trades, urban or agricultural pepula-
tions-in assessing credit for these re-
suits, but no one will deny the domhp
nant part of The American women"

OUR SAVED FOOD !
FED The ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi-
dent America Conserved 14l-
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
s44,eoo,o 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,.
100000 bushels Of wheat and 844, 6O0,-
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at $1,4O0, 600, 900.
This was accomplished in the face of a
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedneSs and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover. in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up Of the millions of bushels Of wheat
during 1918 and the shipment of
meat during 1918.
The total value Of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to s1,4O0,0O00O0, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
(including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:
Fiscal year 1861. :. 2, 166, 100000 lbs.
Fiscal year 1917-19. ..3, oil, > 100000 lbs.
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1918-08-30

Increase ........... S44,60O,OOO lbs.
Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight Of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last
half of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100000
pounds, as against 1,266, SOC, 900 pounds
in the same period of the year before.
This compares with IN average of
S01 100000 pounds Of total exports for
the same half years in the three-y ear
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:
Fiscal year 1861, 259, 100000 bushels
Fiscal year 1918. .34O, 100000 bushels

Wanted for Home Service

Atlanta, Ca. August 25.-Men en-
dowed with the element of leadership
are needed by the Army and NAVY
Y. M. C. A. to serve in the camps Of
tho Southeast.
DR.. v w. Alexander, general re-

Work Council, declares that there is a
pressing need for home service. and
that this affords splendid opportun-
ity to the man Of middle age who ia
not able to go abroad under the Red
Triangle.
:.'The Y. M. C. A. needs men for
overseas service, Of course, but the
home camps must not be forxotten.' %
explained DR.. Alexander. From now
on until the flrst Of the year the
Southeast must recruit 1000 men for
| the home camps. This means that
each state will be called upon to fur.
nish rs men per month per state t.
serve the soldiers in camps such as

in the larger cities there have been
receptacles conveniently places where
people might LOSS these things and
now the food administration is under

homes of the nation, and dispatches
state that the food officials ask peo-

and deposit collections in receptacles
to be provided at hotels and restau-

collected they will be shipped to fac.
