Week 5 q God Fact

According to food administration cal
culations the world will be far below
It's normal supply Of fats for at least
two to three years. These calculations
include our present output and the esti-
mated splendid efforts of producers for
the future.
Restrictions against the shipping Of
wheat flour to the West Indies, Mexico,
Central and South America have been
listed and pre-war shipments now may
be resumed. The export OF flour rather
than wheat is made possible by in
creased ocean tonnage made available
since the signing of the. armistice.
Effective December 49, the special
regulat ton governing the distribution of
fresh fruits OR vegetables including po-
tatoes will be repealed. This means
that the shipment Of fruits returns to
pre-war regulations and that the food
administration no longer plays part
in the matter of the grading of pota-
toes
The farmers Of the country are mott
fed by the food administration that
more mill feeds are in prospect and will
be available about the Christmas holi-
days. The return of all-wheat bread
to general use, the relaxation of the
substitute regulations, the recently in
creased purchases of flour by the food
administration grain corporation for
export, the cancellation Of the so-called
mill extraction rule, which as a war
time measure diverted into -four a con-
siderable proportion of the wheat berry
which ordinarily was used for feed all
have combined to increase the mill feed
output fully one-fifth. In the face Of
this increase, however, tie food admin
istration warns against too great opti-
mism since, it is declared, there will be
a continued shortage of mill feed COM
pared with pre-war years and contin-
ued conservation will be necessary.
The food administration notifies re-
tailers that regulation concerning the
advertising of combined sales is still in
effect. Special license regulations pro-
viding for uniform weights for pack
ages of cereal products and for uniform
packages for rice have been rescinded.
These products now may be packed or
sold in sizes to suit.
The pea-pack Of 1918 reported to
December and covering more than So
per cent Of the total pack Of the coun-
try. sreaches .totals equivalent to 49,
SS9,222 cases, each containing "a num-
Der cans. The pack this year is about
one million cases larger than last year,
which in turn was greater by more
than $4,000 cases than the previous
record pack of 1915.
The poultry raisers are being asked.
by the food administration for record
breaking output of winter eggs for
which there is an urgent necessity this
winter. The storage stocks are 81 per
cent less than a year ago and are rapid
ly being consumed. The United States
is sharing these storage eggs with the
Allies whOser production of poultry
products is low. Domestic demand too
for eggs has been large, due to the i'm
provement in quality as a result Of
compulsory Gambling. The fact that the
Of Chinese dried eggs was
stopped in: February 1918, has added
to the shortage as bakers since that
time have been using the shell eggs. 4,
