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, 900, 900 bushels and of rye
13,900000 bushels, total of 144,900,-
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1867 were
Wheat 100000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels total of 1877 100000
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore, about 141 ,000,-
900 bushels, or q total of l54, 10000
bushels of prime breadstuffs In ad-
dision 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 that we had
available in the fiscal year 1851
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200, 0OO, 900 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 APP
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 agrl-
cultural population in planting much
Increased acreage in 1917, not only was

but also the corn failed to mature prop

to these results should feel very

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreclably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly In hogs; they
were probably Jess. 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, 100 900
pounds as against 1,266,500, OOo pounds

Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by

Conservation measures applied by
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 4,6OO,-
600 pounds Of meat during the past
year, valued In all at $1,4OO 900, OOO
This was accomplished In the face OF a
serious food shortage In this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have 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 1917-lS and the shipment of
meat during 1917-18
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to 81, 400 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 &c. 1918.
The shipments, of meats and fats
(including meat products, dairy prod

Photographer.

When the American soldiers went in.
to action at Chatcau-Thierry they
went so fast that the most expert
picture men on the job could not keep
up with them.
The foregoing fact Is vouched for
by Louis Francis Brown, the war pho
tographer. who arrived in New York
recently on British liner.
II lost some mighty good pictures"
he said. "Tm sorry to say It, but I
just could not keep up with those
lads. have taken good many pic
lures under varying circumstances.
but I'VE learned that when Tn on the
American lines It's high speed need.
I'm going TO. remember that when I
so back"
Besides taking pictures Mr.. Brown
collected statistics on all the fronts
on ''what five men are doing TO keep
six men going" There are Americans
everywhere, he says. He saw one In.
yaslon where there were two Amcrl.
cans to one Frcnchman.
'The effect Of the efficiency Of
American business methods. abroad
and at home is great thing for the
morale Of the soldiers - English,
French and ALL" Mr.. Brown said.
"Our boys are certainly proud Of their
America, there is no doubt about
that.
"Our railroad system In France Is a
marvel to the civilians and the mill,
tary. American engineers and freight
cars are doing ten times the work of
the same amount Of French equip.
ment."
Mr.. Brown praised the work Of the
American salvage corps. Last June
clone, he said. the corps saved ST.
$4,000 in reclaimed. uniforms.
"rhere seems to be an intcrlocklne
