Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only Limitation upon Ameri.
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July
and October 10 We shipped 85,9SO 80o
bushels II this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 bushels Of wheat and
flour In terms of wheat,
The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cessa.
tion of hostilittes we are able to re-
turn TO a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail.
able to have q white loaf at the com.
mon table.
But last year the tale was different
Only BY the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep 4
steady stream Of wheat and flour NOV.
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that We had bare surplus Of
100000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability Of bread
famine-and In Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the nrst
Of the year We had managed to ship q
little more than $4,000. 900 bushels By
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacridce at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Ceatrollsr, cabled
that only IL We sent an additional ~.
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would bs fed.
The response Of the American peo-
pie was 66,00o0 600 bushels safely deliv.
cred overseas between Januasy 1 and
July 1. Out Of q harvest which rave
us only 100000 bushels surplus vs
actually shipped III, ,000, 900 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread Fations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are dsmsnstratins that, with
an awakened war Conscience. last
years figures will bs bottered.

The fact that tho people Of The

consumption of sugar proves eonclu-
,stvsly that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country a. whole stood ready to fol-

Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,

year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 326.000 tons went into dis
tribution and In September only &c.,
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
Il the general public had failed to

TO the voluntary service and sacri.

attributed the continued health,
strength and morale Of the Allied o..
mics and the civil populaee.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac-
rihcs will depend Burops's fate in TIE

have carried out an expert program,
the magnitude Of which 10 almcst b.

new dsmands that have come, With
the liberation Of nations frssd from
German oppression, eur exports must
b almost doubled. Instead Of 11,e90-

year-as much - can b pushed

Increase Over Pre-
T.. Il; War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports Of pork products.
with the heavy demands added In car
hing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
sof hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
|fats and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
;of stimulated production has built up
lin this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part of
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be a shortage III Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera.
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
iducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
|mal food products is illustrated by the
following:
/ Reports compiled by the o. S. De-
lpartment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 900 head
land 12,441,O 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
lin sheep Of $4,000 head. The indica-
(tions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
lports.
Since January / unofficial informa-
|tion indicates an increase In hogs Of
mot less than per cent. and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago. with an increase In
the average weight.
Following the request of the q. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
lin hog production for marketing u the
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 Tie
increase may yisad not less than 1,0o0,-
100000 pounds more Of pork producti
THAN were available last year. With.
out this increase the chipping program
arranged BY Mr.. Hoover regarding %
final food products would have been
impossible.
Tho dressed hog products during thl
three months ending September o.

Oil Prospects.


 Not all the oil prospects are in the Holbrook country if MT. Keith's opinion has any value. He claims to have a location near the Clear Creek dam, about six miles from Winslow, where oil is daily seeping out of the ground. Taking the difference in elevation between the Hol- brook Field and Clear Creek as his basis, MT. Keith is satisfied oil can be struck at a depth of at least 500 feet less distance at Clear Creek. We understand the Adamana Oil Go. is negotiating with Mr. Keith to undertake the sinking of a well on this partic- ular location, and if the deal is made, derrick will be erected at an early date. With an oil rig working at Clear Creek there might develop friendly rivalry between Winslow and Holbrook as to which place would be the first to strike oil.-Winslow Mail.
