is to set about saving more food to
send in Its place. There should al
ways be food enough on the docks for
speedy shipping as fast as ships are
available The only way to make this
possible is by steady saving.
The sending of wheat during 1917
was made easier because of the sur
plus on hand from 1916.
When the time for cutting the 1918
crop comes there will be no surplus
from 1917 to draw on. America had
already used up her surplus by Deem
Der Of last year and what has been
sent since represents the savings Of
the people throughout the country.
The average total export of wheat
and wheat -four to the three principal
allies has been about 110,000,00 bush
els per year since 1914.
Cereals are the most vital of the
food needs abroad. They not only
yield the most protein but they also
furnish more than twice the calories
OF any other food product.
The burden of the cereal supply
rests with America. War cannot last
beyond the time when production and
saving fail to keep pace with consump-
ton and destruction. 1t is nip and
