OUR SAVED FOOD
FED The ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi-
dent America Conserved Ill.,
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO N
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
s44, 6oo,o 1000 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,.
100000 bushels of wheat and $4,000
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at $1,400,O00,0 900.
This was accomplished in the face of a
serious food shortage in this country,
%bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, In a let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up Of the millions of bushels Of wheat
during 191T-18 and the shipment Of
meat during 1918.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,4OO, 900, 900, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments. Of meats and fats
(including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinatlons were as follows:
Fiscal year 1916-17... 1885, SOC, 900 lbs.
Fiscal year 1917-18. ..9,011,1 00, 900 lbs.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1918-08-15
Increase ........... s44, 600, 900 lbs.

Increase ........... 844,6O0,O0O lbs.
Our s~laughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight Of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last
half of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100000
pounds, as against 1895, 100000 pounds
in the same period of the year before.
This compares with an average of
S01, 100000 pounds Of total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products e.
duced to terms Of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:
Fiscal year 1861. 259, 900,o 900 bushels
Fiscal year 1917-1s. $40, 1900, 900 bushels
