RISE IN FOOD
1885 PER CENT
Food Administration Says
That Increase Has Been
Overestimated
FARMERS RECEIPTS
HAVE BEEN SOARING
but General Advance is Below That
of Rent, Clothing, Transportation
and Other Factors.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-An analysis
of the food situation and the increase in
living costs made by the food admins
tration shows that increases have been
greatly overestimated by laying too much
emphasis on special cases.
A table showing the relative increases
and decreases in costs during 1917 and
1918 was made public to show that, ac-
cording to wholesale quotations. the
average increase in the national expend-
lture Tor foods grouped as breadstuffs.
vegetables. meats, etc, for the second
period OF 1918, was only 3.5 per cent
over the same period in 1917 This is
arrived at, however, by placing the de-
crease in the expenditure for vegetables
at 63.l per cent Fruits jumped 80 per
cent, oils and nuts "a per cent, and poul-
try and eggs l6.5 per cent.
The attached table," says the food
administration. is a computation of the
national food bill for each three months,
beginning with the second quarter of
1917. down to the second quarter of 1918.
1t is based on taking the total food con
sumed by the nation divided into the
items of breadstuffs, vegetables, meat,
dairy products, etc, at the average whole
sale price for the quarter, and thus ar
irving at what the nation, as whole,
actually expended.
The figures show that during the
last twelve months there has been an
increase in the national food bill per
quarter from S2.563 ,6OO,904 to S2.693 ISL
S7l. or 81 per cent. While this is the
whole nations expenditure at the whole
sale prices and thus clearly indicates the
national trend. it does not follow that
there are no local variations.
In those sections where there has
been a great local increase in population
there has been a disturbance of distri-
button and prices have increased to a
larger per cent. On the other hand there
are corresponding sections of the com
munity where actual decreases or no in
creases have taken place.
The cost of rent, clothing. transpor-
tation and other items of living have adj
vanced several times as much as the az
gregate increase in the cost of foodstuffs.
There has been more than a 81 per cent
increase in prices paid to the farmer but
also a reduction of speculation and prof
iteering and narrowed margins between
! farmers and wholesale prices under food
regulations"
/ Here is the Food Administration
analysis of the situation:
