tain many individual exhibits, speci-
mems from different farms. These
may be entered in the individual con-
tests as well as forming part of the

With the nation at war and the
need for food production the greatest
in history, the government is looking
to the farmer to produce as never be-
fore. The Fair Association, appre-
ciating the necessity of greater pro-
duction, is lending its utmost en-
couragement to this movement, and
hopes that the farmers will make this
q banner year at the fair.

addition there vas enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion Of the diet
Tor 2,104.570 additional men.
The total export Of wheat and wheat

equivalent to about 384. .OOO, 900 bushels
Pork exports for the 8h years amount
ed to almost 1000 O0O. 900 pounds. Ex-

8. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, hours, and meals, corn,
barley. buckwheat. potato -four. ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing SO In perfect health and satisfac-
tion. There Is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds week, and we specially
ask the well-tO-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts Of the community less able
to adapt themselves to SO large a pro
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to. supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton Of the public by further limita-
| tion Of distribution. and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be. adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
Of harvest we should be able to relax
| such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributing
! trades.
