UNITED STATES FOOD ADMIN
ISTRATION FOR SOUTH
CAROLINA.

Ry eating potatoes instead OF
wheat bread, the people Of South
Carolina can help win the war as well
as by purchasing Liberty Bonds anG
contributing TO the Red Cross.
With this statement, the conserva.
tion division of the Food Administra,
tion for South Carolina. announces
the "PotatOcs for America, Wheat
for Europe" campaign in this State
The existing situation calls for
further curtailment of wheat con.
sumption, and there is no better sub
stitute, and no substitute for wheat
bread that is to be had in such uuan-
titles, as potatoes. We have not
enough wheat for our Allies and our
selves, but we have an abundance of
potatoes-an excess of 90,000,00O
bushels over normal times. If we
are to win this war the allied armies
and the allied peoples must have
wheat. The potato can not quite come
up to wheat in food value, but it does
come about as close to taking the
place Of wheat as any other food.
BY eating more potatoes, therefore,
the people Of South Carolina can save
more wheat to send to Europe.
Americans first realized how i'm
portant a part Of their daily food the
potato played when last year a scar
city Of this vegetable drove its price
almost to prohibitive heights When
planting time came again, everyone
planted potatoes The farmers were
particularly urged to plant potatoes
as a patriotic duty, and accordingly
there was an abundance Of potatoes
produced.
At time when the world is so
sorely in need of food--only in Amer
ica is there an abundance-it would
be criminal to waste anything so i'm
portant as the potato. The potatoes
raised through patriotism should be
eaten through patriotism-substitu
for wheat bread to as great an ex-
tent as possible, and the wheat thus
saved sent to Europe, because while
the people of European countries con-

Buy Bonds-do not wait for your
neighbor to act. To buy Bonds is the
thing to do. 1t is your imperative
duty. Man and women of all occu-
pations, all who are filled with the
spirit of patriotism-buy Bonds. 1t
Is as little as you can do-lend Uncle
Sam your money. He needs it; lend

value would be worthless. Buy Bonds
