louisville, Dec. IA-World Relief
Week IN Kentucky was success as
Tar ~ It went, bot because Of the
Spanish influenza It dad not go far
enougA; hence tae Food Adkntntstra-
ton voannteer organisation will be
preserved intact and the work will be
taken up whenever the general health
situation permits. Not more than 70
counties were able to carry out the
whole weeks program as contem-
plated
In those counties where World Re
lief Week was observed, such as
jefferson, Washington, Bracken and
Boyd, there were held church services
on Sunday, December 1, club rallies
en- Wednesday, school exercises on
Friday, community gatherings through
out the week and big countrywide
rallies at least once in each county.
The message of the Food Administra.
hon that the war conscience" must
now give place to the world con-
science" was impressed with great
effectiveness, and it is quite well un.
derstood and appreciated in all such
counties that the people of Kentucky,
now that the war is over, will save
more food than they did while 1t was
still going on. But this message must
yet be carried to the people of at least
100 counties in Kentucky who were
prevented by the epidemic Of influenza
from receiving It
Mrs. Morris clifford, chairman Of the
State Conservation Division, Miss
Alexina Booth, chairman of Schools
and Colleges, and Mr.. Fred W. Hard
wick, chairman of Religious and
Fraternal Organizations, have receiv-
ed from the highest authorities the
fullest praise for the success with
which they carried on World Relief
Week under difficult circumstances.
When the work Is resumed they will
be found at the head of things. They
send their sympathy to those County
Conservation chairmen and County
Administrators whose preparatory
work went for naught and promise
them every means of cooperation
when the time for resumption of eff.
forts becomes opportune.
1t may be early in January, 1t may
be late in spring, when the influenza
epidemic is finally conquered; but
whenever the time, the volunteer
forces of the Food Administration
who led the people of Kentucky in say.
ing the food when won the war, will
be ready to lead them again In saving
the food which WIN save the world
and thus make victory complete.
With the return Of a1i-whSat bread
to American tables following the re.
taxation Of substitute regulations
farmers of the country may expect q
somewhat increased supply of mill
feeds. The amount will be further
enlarged by the recently increased
purchases of flour by the Food Admin
istration Grain Corporation for export
Export of -four rather than wheat
b now possible because of increased
ocean tonnage available since the sign
ing of the armistice.
A third factor which Is expected to
increase supplies of mill feeds is the
cancellation of the so-called milling
extraction rule" which, as war time
measure, diverted into flour a consider
able proportion of the wheat berry
ordinarily used for feed.
All of these developments combined
are expected to increase the mill feed
output fully one-fifth, and this extra
