Wheat Saving Enormous.

When the Food Administration be-.
gan operations In the summer Of 1917,
this country was facing a large deficit
In wheat. Counting In all carry-over
wheat from the 1916 crop, we had at
the beginning OF the 1917 harvest year
just enough wheat to take care Of
Americas normal consumptiOn,--not a
bushei Of surplus.
At the close Of the 1918 harvest
year the Food Administration official
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments to the other side had been
100000 bushels. Every bushel
shlpred was wheat saved by the
American people from their normal
consumption.
In cereals and cereal products re.
duced to terms Of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations were
a40,SOO.OOO bushels, S090O,0OO bushels
more than the amount sent In 1851.
Included in these figures are 13,900.-
900 bushels of rye and the IA, 10000
bushels OF saved wheat. In addition
we sent the neutrals dependent on us
100000 bushels Of prime breadstuifs
"These figures do not fully convey
the volume Of the effort and sacrifice
made during the past year by the
whole American people," the Food Ad-
mlnlstrator wrote. u am sure that
all the millions Of our people. agrlcul-
tural as well as urban, who have con-
tributed to these results should feel

In spite Of a subnormal food supply
In this cous..ry the American people
have been able to ship to the Allies
as well as our own forces overseas
l4l,O000O0 bushels Of wheat besides
Sl4,0OOOOO pounds OF meat, during the
year ending June 30 last This has
been made possible by the whole
souled cooperation Of the people,
who, besides practiclng seIf-denial.
have speeded up production aud re.

practically ON a voluntary basis which
Is regarded as a splendid tribute TO
the patriotism OF the American people.
Neat shipments were increased S44,.

In 1867 the United States sent
the Allies 2,108.5OO,OOO pounds of
meat. In 1918. with voluntary con-
servatlon practiced In America. and

81 MORE MEN
GO IN DRAF I
Left About 1890 for Railway
to Entrain There for Camp
Meade Maryland.
CROWD SEES THEM OFF
Draft Board Unable to Give
the Names of the Men
This Morning.

Perth Amboy's contribution to the
National Army was again boosted this
nzsrning, when the contingent consist
ing thirty-two men left for Camp
Meade, Md, in response to the call re-
ceived from the adjutant general. The
men, a happy group of fellows, en-
trained at the Central railroad sta
ton at 1925 o'clock. They will go
direct to Railway and then transfer to
another train, which will carry them
southwark. The contingent from the
third district board ct Sayrevise was
also on board the same train.
A large number of the friends and
relatives of the draftees were at the
station to see them off.
So great was the congestion when
the men boarded the train that one
of the draftees whose name could not
be learned, was unable to board the
train. He was taken care Of by VIII
liam Murtagh, who is assisting the
draft board and will probably be sent
to camp tomorrow. John G. Boil act
ed as captain OF the contingent.
The men reported at the city hall
for roll call yesterday afternoon. They
also received instructions and were
then dismissed until their entrain-
ment this morning.
Owing to the congestion at Che sta
ton, 1t was impossible to check UT
the names of the men who made ur
the contingent and as far as can be
learned even the draft board here
does not know the names of the
men who were sent away today.
