SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Admlnlstra.
tlon, 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 39 grain states to the o.
8. 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
8k 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
.paratlvely rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success Of
the grain threshlng campaign to pa.
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "ln pocket"
as result of the grain saved.

MUST RESUME ROAD BUILDING

Cooperative highway construction
under the Federal Aid Road Act must
be resumed as quickly as possible in
full measure, the secretary of agri-
culture, d. F. Houston, stated at a
conference of editors of agricultural
journals held recently in Washing
ton.
From unexpected balances of fed
eral appropriations for the last few
years from state funds, beyond what
was necessary to meet the federal al
lotments and from amounts available
during the current fiscal year, APP
proximately $75,OO0,OOO will be
available for expenditure during the

calendar year. Next year, if all the
balances should be expended during
this year, there will be about $780,
100000 from federal appropriations
and probably more than this amount
from state sources, according to the
secretary's statement. The states, in
addition, will expend sums in excess
of what they assigned, or will assign
for federal aid road projects.

RELIED ON TO BEAT u. S.
Won Tirpitz Would
Give Up Belgium

7 ,ONDON, Jan. 11.-A despatch
to the Central News from
Amsterdam says that Admiral
Won Tirpitz. former German
Minister Of Marine, and the fore
most advocate Of Germany's SUBJ
marine warfare, said that while
the Germans must keep the
Flanders coast the annexation
of Belgium to Germany was not
necessary and that solution Of
this problem could be found.
Regarding the political situa-
ton, Admiral Won Tirpitz is re-
ported as having said that all
sorts of things might be possible,
but that he did not think they
would go SO far as an agreement
on an armistice by which the
operations of submarines could
be paralyzed. He would not
make a statement dealing with
the reported resignation Of Gen.
Won Ludendorff, the German
First Quarterma ster-General, but
he said he refused to believe that
things would be allowed to 60 so
far as to make it impossible for
Won LudendorH and Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg to gain a
definite victory for Germany.
