SAVE 10000, 900 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHlNG
Farmers, Urged by Food Adminlstra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed. threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels OF wheat, estimated
as equivalent TO about seven one-pound
loaves Of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of barley.
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 80 grain states to the U.
). Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion TO the number Of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop. cases Of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success OF
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews Incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "in pocket"
as a result of the grain saved.
