EvERYsoDY HELPING
SAVE FOOD NOW
MOT Only The Housewife, But the Men,
the Hotels and Restaurants and the
Farmers, Have Got the Habit.

Columbia.-In the first months OF
food conservation, the housewives OF
the country were often heard to. Gem.
plain and to ask; What is the use
of trying to ave food in our kitchens
when waste on 80 much larger scale
is going on everywhere?" The men,
in public eating places, were particu'
aarly pointed out as wasters; and 1t
was complained that in the manufac-
ture Of fsod there was another big
waste.
z IL this was true several months ago,
however. it is no longer fair COM
plaint. The men of the country, both
In business and in private, are doing
their part, in patriotic way. to con-
serve the worlds food.
Since the increasing need OF saving
wheat has been made plain by the
food administration. many hotels and
restaurants all over the country have
voluntarily pledged themselves to do
without wheat until the next harvest.
and now an effort is to be made to
increase the coming wheat harvest by
cleaner threshing. It has been esti-
mated that three bushels OF grain in
every 100 bushels. threshed can be
saved by better methods. Where
grain has been exceptionally poorly
threshed as much as 10 per cent has
gone into the straw stack. To correct
this waste has become very impor-
tant in view of the nations war needs,
and the food administration has this
year established a special grain
threshing division to carry on a cam
paign OF education and to actually
help the farmers Of the country to
properly and to thoroughly thresh
their grain.
Still another effort to increase the
-four output during, this crisis is be-
ing made by urging farmers not to
hold over any OF stheir crop for seed.
Even if We have only normal crop
there is little fear that any risk would
be ran in not holding over seed for
next years sowing. During the next
two to three months every bushei OF
grain that can be recovered may play
an important part in the drama Of
war

rang. An officer near the front
line sent the distressing word that
