food consumption in these places is
larger than in the average homes. We
are asking the proprietors and en-

take in many particulars a more strict
program than last year, and we are
confident that they will willingly do
this.
This is not rationing-a thing we

Voluntary Cooperation.
This year as last believe we can
accomplish the necessary ends by vol
untary action of our own people. The
willingness to assume individual re-
sponsibility in this matter by the vast
majority is one of the greatest proofs
Of the character and idealism of our
people, and l feel it can be constantly
relied upon. Our simple formula for
this year is to further reduce con-
sumption and waste of all food
We have so arranged the interna-
tional food program that, except for a
moderate substitution of other cereals
in bread, it will not, we hope, be nee
essary to substitute one foodstuff for
another, nor to resort to wheatless and
meatless days. What we need is to
reduce directly our consumption of all
foodstuffs, laying especial emphasis
on the staples. The allies are in need
Of all the surplus of the great staples
that we can provide.

the United States study its food bud

Even this program means further
denial of the allies next year. They
are making this sacrifice in the COM
mon cause We must maintain the
health and strength Of every human
being among them or they will be un-
able to put their full strength along
side our own in the supreme effort.
At the Presidents direction, l have
assured them that "in this common
cause, we eat at a common table" and
upon entering these conferences IN
Europe we promised them that what
ever their war-food program called for
from us we should fulfill.
Cereal Production Less.
If we survey our ability to. meet
this definite promise to them we fiRd
that while our wheat production this
year is better than last year, our pro-
duction of other cereals is less. We
have had severe losses through
drought in many sections. On balance
our resources are no greater than last
year. We find, however, that we can
give this increase in food supplies, of
5,730,00O tons over last year, and still
have margin over the amount neces
sary to maintain our own health and
strength.
At best the allied table will be less
than ours, for the allied peoples are
denying themselves more in order to
transport our soldiers. We can do no
less than fill the ships they send us.
Of our imports, we shall apparently
have sufficient sugar to maintain the
present consumption and take care Of
the extra drain of the allies from our
markets, instead Of compelling them
to send their ships to the far east. We
can secure in sailing vessels the cof-
fee we need, If no one makes an over
brew. OF our own products we must
secure a reduction in consumption and
waste in the two great groups of,
first, breadstuffs; and second, meats
and fats that is, in all bread and
cereals, beef, pork, poultry, dairy and
vegetable-oil products.
Milk for Children.
The average consumption of our
people of breadstuffs amounts to
about six pounds per week and of
meats and fats to four pounds a week
for each person. A reduction in con-
sumption of less than one-half pound
per week per person in each OF these
two great groups of foods would &C
complish our purpose. We wish to
emphasize, however, that we do not
want curtailment in the use Of milk
for children.
Some of our homes by reason of
limited income cannot now provide
more food than they should have to
maintain health in the family The
cannot rightfully be asked to make the
suggested reduction in consumption.
But the great majority of our homes
can do more than suggested.
We need even greater simplicity of
living than last year amongst all that

foodstuffs are a secondary item OF ex-

Observation-Disclosures
Plenty of Room for Sheen.

There is plenty Of room for the ex-
pansion Of the sheep industry in the
Central and Eastern states, and spe-
cialiStS of the United States depart
ment of agriculture say that these
states can do much to help the west
ern range sheep raiSerS in producing
wool and mutton. A survey Of the en-
tire country reveals that there is i'm
mediate opportunity for increasing the
sheep population to some extent in the
rough and idle lands OF the Appala-
chan region, the cut-over timber lands
of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan
and the South Atlantic and Gulf
states. There is also much to be done
in improving the carrying capacity on
many of the farms Where sheep are
now being raised. The unimproved
land in farms, amounting to nearly
half of their total area, offers cOnSid-
cradle possibilities for increasing the
number OF sheep. Much of this land
is now used in a limited way for live
stock pastures, while other areas are
wholly idle. They could be made to
furnish fair summer grazing for sheep,
and with slight Encouragement in the
cropping system, and the keeping of
other live stock, could be made to fur
nish winter feed for sheep.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1918-12-19

if disappointment and failure are to
be avoided.
Sheep require a small amount Of
high-priced grain compared with other
farm animals. They utilize and thrive
upon forage crops to a great extent
and will make use of rough feeds
about the farm which other stock will
not eat They require small amount
Of labor also, which is one reason for
the increase in the industry in the
farming states.
The rising prices Of wool and NUT
ton since 1914 no doubt have added
further impetus to sheep raising. Since
the advance in price began before the
war, it is fair to assume that the war
is not to be given all the credit for
this spirited activity and that the in
dustry is likely to enjoy continued
fair prices for q considerable time aft
err the conclusion Of peace.
