OUR SAVED FOOD
FED THE ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi.
dent America Conserved 141,.
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
s44,eoo,ooo Pounds. .

Conservation measures applied Oy
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 $4,000
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at 81, 400, OOO, COO.
This was accomplished in the face of q
serious food shortage In this country.
bespeaking the whOleheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people hive 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 81 100000, 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 1916-17... g, 166, 5OO,O 900 lbs.
Fiscal year 1017-1S. /. I'd, oil, 1OO, 600 lbs.
Increase ........... 844,6OO,O0O 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 1896, SOC, 900 pounds
in the same period of the year before.
This compares with an average Of
sO1. 100000 pounds of total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereni products re-
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:
Fiscal year 1851. .259, 900, 900 bushels
Fiscal year 1917t1S. $40, 500, 600 bushels

Increase ......... $4,000 900 bushels
OF these cereals our shipments OF
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-1S to Allied destinations were
Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of rye
13.9OO,OOO bushels, a total Of 144,9O0s
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year -1916-17 were:
Wheat 135,1o0O00 bushels and rye
100000 bushels. a total of 1877 100000
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied designations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest Of
wheat will be therefore. about IA, O00..
600 bushels, or total of 154,9OO,OO0
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad.
dition 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 ti.at we had
available in the fiscal year 1861
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
2OO,OOO,O00 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.

BALLOONS CAUGHT IN

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. June 3
Thrilling battles with two unruly
sausage balloons, the almost miracu-
lous escape OF three cadets who were
only slightly injured and the destruc-
tlOn OF one OF the balloons by light
ming were the results this afternoon
Of the bursting of a storm cloud at
Camp John A. Wise, north of San
Antonio.
At the approach of the cloud,
which apparently promised only a
light shower, crews of several cap
tive balloons at camp began reeling
In cables. One balloon, caught NJ
a gust Of wind, executed sudden
nose dive for 1000 feet. AS It fell
the bag brushed the side of a house
hard enough to break the force of
the fall for it's basket. A cadet in
the basket escaped with bruises.
Meantime the crew OF another bal
loon had nearly succeeded In getting
their big gas bag into shelter when
1t also dived. II struck the Sound,
throwing one cadet out, Then the
balloon shot upward with one cadet
in It's basket, AS It reached the
cloud above there was a flash of
lightning, the gas Dag lgnllou ana
began falling. The cadet, believed
to have been stunned. was unable
to use his parachute. The basket
Of the burning balloon struck n
fence post where 1t was impaled. The
burning balloon swung clear and the
cadet shaken UP but not seriously
injured, was rescued. All three ca
diets. whose names we're refused by
camp authorities received temporary
treatment at the camp.
