WHEAT, BEEF AND PORK
rsnecial to the Gate City1


DIES MONIES, May 6.-John W.
Hallowell brought a message from
Herbert Hoover to his Iowa friends
today and presented it at the confer
ence of the county food administra-
tors of Iowa with Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Deems in Des Moines.
Mr Hallowell is Hoover's right hand
man in the food administration. His
message as presented by Mr.. Halo
well is:
'eMr. Hoover sends a message of
gratitude for the spirit Of understand
ing and willingness to practice self
denial which the families and trades
of this great state are exemplifying
in innumerable voluntary activities to
conserve food for those who are fight
ing our battles abroad. There is
much work still to be done in Iowa
to make the people as whole realize
the grave necessity of food conserva-
ton in order that the ever increasing
needs of our allies and our own army
and navy are to be satisfied and the
food administration is confident that
this work will be done with loyalty
and efficiency.
"A message of encouragement is
possible for Mr.. Hoover is able to an
nocnce that our recent exports to the
allies of pork products and beef are
up to our promises, thus alleviating
somewhat, the anxiety and strain un-
der which the allies were laboTing last
winter when the railroad cong estion
in this country was the cause of our
falling far behind the promised vol
ume of exports Exports OF wheat are
improving as conservation throughout
the country increases. During March
our exports to the allies of wheat and
other cereals aggregated twenty-five
million bushels, of which ten and
half million were wheat, beef seventy
million pounds and pork products the
heretofore unheard Of total Of three
hundred million pounds. The April
record of exports was equally encour-
aging. What a Godsend to France,
England and Italy. This accomplish
ment would have been impossible ex-
cept for the voluntary cooperation of
the people and food trades of this
country with the continued stress of
unprecedented warfare abroad and
with the rapidly increasing number Of
our troops over there the problem OF
feeding both OUT allies and our own
army becomes more and more acute.
This will require the continued loyal
ty of the American people in following
the requests which the food admins
tration may make from time to time
until the next harvest The cry OF suf-
fering France will be for wheat,
wheat and more wheat We should
remember that we are sitting at a
common table with the allies and that
as there is not enough to go around,
it is good manners to take smaller
