states. There was apprehension tina
we should be compelled to reiy upon
Argentina. and perhaps unon the Mex
lean ranches. for beef and pork prod
ucts In order to make up a deficiency
| in our own supply.
GREAT PEOPLE LEARN
HOW TO MEET EMERGENCY
Some of the leading railroad man
ayers OF the Northwest began a cam
paign to persuade the farmers to util-
lie the ranches and the unoccupied
! lands so that there could be an in
crease in our supply OF meat products.
But farmers In other parts OF the coun-
try were rapidly taking up ranch
lands because they believed that tho
soil could be OF greater profit II utiI.
lied for the production OF grain.
The record made in the past fiscal
year of our exports in meat ana fats
show that the apprehension was not
justified. We were able to send to
our allies food prcduets which, IN the
aggregate. weighed a little over 3,ooo,-
100000 pounds. All of these meat
products represented the cultivation
of cattle and hogs in the United States.
If we can do this in time OF war. It
is believed we can maintain this high
production of meat products after the
war Is ended. or course, our allies
will not need SO much meat after peace
comes. but the experience Of the past
year shows, 1t Is believed, that we can
maintain and steadily increase our out
put OF meat and fats as we'll as dairy
products. Therefore, there should DO
no apprehension lest the United States
be called upon after the war IT, relr
upon South America to supplement our
deficiency in meat products.
IL WAS PURELY
MATTER OF Patriotism
We are able to send TO Europe. ac-
cording to Mr.. Hoover, $4,000, aon
bushels of cereals. SOME Of which were
converted into prepared food. This
was an increase of nearly $1,000. 900
bushels In comparison to the ship
ments of the previous year. OF this
food. wheat constituted $4,000, 900
bushels. The American people have
shown the highest degree of patriot.
ism in being willing to accept the
substitutes for wheat SO that our
armies and our allies In Europe may
be abundantly supplied with wheat
1t is for this reason that Mr.. Hoover
felt justified in saying that the many
millions of people who have con:ri-
buted to this result Should feel a very
definite satisfaction that In a year of
universal food shortage in the North
ern Hemisphere, all. Of the people who
are joined together against Germany
have come into sight of the coming
harvest. not only with health AMI
strength fully maintained. hut with
nothing more than temporary periods
of ha -dships."
What was dozen In the fiscal year
which ended on June 30 will! be con-
tinued during the present fiscal year
so that very likely in July. 1919. should
the war continue until that time. Mr..
Hoover will report that an aggregate
OF food shipments sent 10 the allies
from the United States in the present
fiscal year will be considerably In ex-
cess OF $1,000, 100000 in money value.
