people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a let

the situation was met. The voluntary

Statistics show that last year the
breweries used 100000 pounds of
sugar in the manufacture of beer.
Is it any wonder that there
is a shortage of sugar with
this kind of business going on? And
need congressman and senator's be
surprised to receive letters from their
constituents bearing requests for
support for wartime prohibition?
No. Write them. liz

OF these cereals our shipments of

1917-1S to Allied destinations we're :
Wheat 100000 bushels and of rye
100000 bushels, a total of 144,90O,-

The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1861 we're
Wheat 135,1OO,OOO bushels and rye
100000 bushels, a total of 1877, 4OO.OOO
bushels. In addition some 10, OOO 900
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, OOO,-
600 bushels, or a total of 154, 100000
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In adj
dition 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 1867
from net carry-over and as surplus
over u normal consumption about
200,0OO,O00 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 u normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
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 agri-
cultural population in planting a much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there a very large failure in wheat.
but also the corr failed to mature prom
erly, and our corn is our dominant croD.
II am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report, that all the

to these results should feel a very
definite satisfaction that in a year Of

War Time Sweeteners

They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and
molasses and may be used in preparing des-

recipes should be decreased one-fourth.

Increase ........... S~44,GOO,O0O lbs.
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
we're 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 to the Allies were 2,133, 100000
pounds, as against 1,266. 5OO,0 900 pounds

half cup of syrup and about one-half cup of corn sugar.
One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-haf
cup of syrup or onethird cup of corn sugar. One table
spoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about
one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and one
third tablespoons of corn sugar.
Sugar may be saved by the use of raisins, dates, figs,
dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals.
. Fruit marmalades, buffers and jelies should be used
to take the place of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and
not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved without
sugar. It may be added when sugar is more plentiful.
Preserving demands this year a thin syrup instead of a
heavy syrup.
If sugar is used one-half of the amount may be replaced
by another sweetener.
Drying is a means of preserving without sugar. a-
Piles, cherries, Strawberries and black caps.
When ready to use they may have added the needed
sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is more plentiful
fruit juices may be made into jellies or may be used as
fruit juices with or without sugar, as beverages, fruit
gelatins and frozen desserts.
Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They
should be used freely. Desserts where sugar is scarce
may be made of gelatins, junkets, custards, buildings and
cakes. ,.

The Federal Food Administration for Alaska announces the new wheat conservation program of the U- 5. Food Administration effective at once, and to remain in force until further notice. The program, in brief, is as follows:
 The fifty-fifty rule is eliminated The one to three rules for bakers is also rescnded.
 Standard wheat flour may he sold to retailers or bakers without sub stitutes but when sold to individual consumers, including public eating places, clubs and boarding houses, one pound of substitutes, which are now defined as corn meal. corn flour. barley flour (the old substitute list embrac cing among other things rice. hominv. etc. is rescindedls must be sold with each four pounds. of wheat flour, or two pounds puree rye flour must he sold witha each three pounds of wheat flour, provided the pur- chaser although offered the alterna- tive of at least one of the foregoing combinations prefers a combination of kaffir flour, milo flour, feterita flour, and meals rice flour. peanut flour, oat flour. bean flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour or buck wheat flour-wheat flour may be sold to him with such optional sub stitute Hours in proportion of four pounds of wheat flour to one pound of substitutes. This rule does not apply to certain mixed Hours or so- called Victory Flours, nor to pan, cake or self raising Hours which contain less than 80 per cent. of wheat flour and have been approved by the United States Food Adminis- tration. No corn meal, corn flour, barely flour. rye flour, oat flour, or rice flour shall be sold as substi- ute unless 1t conforms to one of the specifications prescribed by the U. s. Food Administration. ssn,.
 Victory mixed Hours may be sold to any one without substitutes.
 Standard wheat flour substitutes for bakers remain the same.
 The existing regulations limiting sales of wheat to those residing in towns and cities to one-eighth bar rel, and to those residing in outlying and rural districts to one quarter bar thirty days supply Is rescinded. Li- censees may now have sixty day supply on hand.
 While consumers are not limited as to quantity to be purchased under the new rules. they are urged to be economical and to purchase in mod eration.
 The Federal Food Administration for Alaska all concerned in the Ter ritory to be governed accordingly. Circular letter in detail with refer ence to the new wheat conservation program is being prepared at the Juneau office and will be sent i'm mediately to all Alaska Food Ad- ministrators for distribution and to all dealers. and public eating places

in that portion of Alaska contiguous to Matanuska I would not advise people to go there for the purpose of engaging in farming. Last year the members of the Matanuska Farm CTS Association produced 1000 tons of potatoes of which less than 400 tons were used. the remaining more than 600 tons being thrown in the discard for the reason that they could not be marketed. This year that of last year or about 750 tons In addition to potatoes, Matanuska also grows wheat, barley and oats to maturity and saw while there the first ripe grain in shock I have seen for more than 20 years. Need less to say, all kinds of garden truck grows to perfection in the Mat anuska valley, which, if transports tion was mathematical problem that could be solved, would feed all the remainder of the Territory. concluded while visiting the Matan uska farms that I should open a matrimonial bureau in connection with my publicity work as nearly all the farmers there are bachelors and badly in need of wives-to cook wash dishes and raise chickens None but 'cornfeds' should apply as Matanuska is no place for city-bred women who are subject to 'enwee. /"
 Stampede To Outside
 At present there is a stampede to the Outside from the Westward as well as from other parts of Alas ka but the majority of those going out venture the assertion that they will be back later and when normal conditions which have been disor ganized on account of the war are resumed
 MT. White returned from the West ward on the steamer Alaska which in addition to 260 passengers, car ried a million dollar cargo from Al aska. principally canned fish and copper ore.
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-09-11
PUBLICITY AGENT GIVES
 INTERESTING ACCOUNT
 OF HIS OBSERVATIONS

'1f the tides are lower this Fall than indicated by the tide tables il will not be due to wrong reckoning but to the fact that so many fish have been taken from the waters of Southeastern and Western Alaska that there is more space to be filled by water than formerly and the re- suit will be lowering of high-water mark all along the coast of the DOT tions of the Territory designated, said E. J. White, chief of the Al. aska Bureau of Publicity, who ar rived home on the steamer Alaska Tuesday morning from visit to the Westward which extended to An chorage and the fertile valley of the Matanuska where the rank-growing spud abounds and fields of waving grain bow gracefully before the gen tie zephyrs as they pass from Cooks Inlet via Broad Pass to the vast Interior country.
 MT. White left here August 19 on the steamer Farragut which, he says, must have four-acre space below the waterline, judging from the amount of boxes containing emp ty cans which were unloaded at a dozen or more canneries at which calls were made which space was again filled by boxes containing the finished article of either Reds, Hum pies, Sockeyes or Silvers.
 Cordova Is Lively
 Cordoya, according to MT. White, is the livliest town in the Third Division, her prosperity being due to the fact that she has the big Ken necott copper mines tributary as well as several fishing industries. Cordova is now the scene of more building activity. probably, than any town in the entire Territory.
 Valdez Is All Right
 Valdez is not dead by any means" " continued the publicity man. "She also has several canning industries and Fort Liscum, only across the bay where upward of 400 soldiers are now quartered. lends much which goes to making that town the scene of considerable life. Also, Val dez, according to her optimistic resi-. dents. is fin the money" or will be as soon as new impetus is given the gold-mining industry, there being sev- eral rich as we'll as large deposits of gold ore within walking distance of the town"
 Seward Desirable Place
 According to MT White, Seward is the most admirable townsite he saw on his trip. Also, Seward is the first station on the Government railroad reached by the Westward bound traveller. the line connecting that town with Anchorage being now practically completed. But eight miles of track remained to De laid a week ago and the rails for closing the gap arrived at Anchorage on the
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-09-11

freighter Anyox two days before MT White left Anchorage.
 Latouche Doing Things
 "Latouche, where the Guggenheims are operating a low grade copper mine," said Mr White, 'is lively place at present. About 250 men are being employed and, although the ore runs only two per cent, 1t is a paying proposition and there is still mountain or ore to work on. The concentration system is worked and about seven-tenths of the bulk is eliminated thereby"
 Speaking of Seldovia, Mir White says if he owned a town lot there he would exchange it for anything that looked or had a jingle like money.
 About Anchorage
 Speaking on Anchorage, MT. White said: 'It is hard to believe An chorage is an Alaskan town. In most other towns of the Territory you can not see more than two blocks before elevating your eyes to look up hill. But not so in Anchor age which presents the appearance of town on the prairies of the Da- kotas or Kansas. Anchorage is a roomy burg, sufficiently big as to confines to be New York and suf- ficiently level to be Fargo, North Dakota.
 Anchorage has many empty build ngs both in the business and resi- dence district but this does not sig nifty that the town is dying or is going to die. In the first place, Anchorage was a boom town and business was overdone just the same as it always is in boom towns. Just now it is going through the period of readjustment and 'flot'' and jet are folding their tents and seeking other pastures. Many are going now and many others will go as soon as they can. But Anchorage will continue to be a good town It has a mighty mining and agricultural country tributary to it and is bound to be a substantial place for an in definite period. Being sired by the Government, it was started on big scale and is bound to attract atten tion on account of it's being the gateway to a vast domain, rich in resources but how rich only time and capital will determine. The trouble with Anchorage is that she had a few months ago enough busi ness houses for a city of 25.00t population and now that fact is be ing realized and the weeding out process is under way. Where there were g restaurants six months ago there are now only half that mum Der and the same eliminating pro cess is going on in many other in dustries.'

 Mir. White also visited Matanuska and of that country said: "Unti there are more people in Alaska and
