Increase

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. 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 toethe Allies were 2,13S, 100000
pounds, as against 1,266, 500. 900 pounds
In the same period of the>year before.
This compares with an average of
sol 100000 pounds OF total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:
Fiscal year i9l6-17. .259, DOE, coo bushels

1917-1S TO Allied destinations were !:
Wheat 131, ,o00.GG0 bushels and of rye
13.900,000 bushels, total of 144,900.-
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1857 were !:
Wheat 135, 100000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, total of 137, ,400,0 ,0G0
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port
for Allied destinations or en- route
&Fato. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore. about f41. .000,-
900 bushels, or a total of 154,S00.G60
bushels Of prime breadstuffs. In adj
dition to this we have shipped soms
10,0000D0 bushels TO nentrals depend
ellt upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
.eThis 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 1916-1T
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
2o0, 100000 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
earry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
tion. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
proximately savings froE, our own
wheat bread.
'Tnese figures. however, do not fully
convey the vol sme of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De
spite the magnificent effort Of our agri-
cultural population In planting much
increased acreage in 1917. not only was
there very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn f;iled to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop
