SAVE 10000, 600 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food AdmInistra,
ton. Provide Seven Extra Loaves
OF Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth.
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves Of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from SO grain states to the q.
s. Food Administration. Other states
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
BIZ per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause Of waste was removed. But in
proportion to the number of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop. cases Of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa.
triotic service by farmers, thresher.
men and their crews. incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions Of. dollars Sin pocket
as result Of the grain saved.

SUGAR SHOWED ..'.
our BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience. :
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People OF
the United States Averted Z
Famine at Home In Spite
Of low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu.
Siyely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar Stringency
began to reach it's height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis.
trlbution and in September only &c.
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes Of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be q mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. By it we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in a position SO
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to go
far af1eld, can maintain it's recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri.
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale Of the Allied ar.
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year We
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which Is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation Of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of 1890
900 tons. we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had, not been fed By
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them to maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy is success ana that in time Of
need it will rise to it's own defense.
II there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that 1t
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, "and the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al.
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d.
rections and upon the mere word Of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage Of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra.
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light Of succeeding events It
- interesting to recall the confidence
It'll which the United States Food
administrator viewed the gloomy out
ok In July Of 1917, when this coun.
y had been in the war for less than
our months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
"Even though the situation In Eu.
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared In a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained In every d..
rection need have one atom Of fear
That democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"
