AS final means Of judging whether

The tell-tale green appearance Of

against defective threshing operations.
Farmers whose stacks are now show
Ing green, are requested to report the
name of the thresherman, together
with date of threshing and full par
ticulars, to their local grain thresh-
Ing committee, or, in the absence Of
such a committee, to the federal food
administrator having jurisdiction. Y
To complete the seasons work In q
thorough manner, owners of threshing
machines, binders and all grain han
ding equipment are asked by the
threshing division Of the United States

THE PROGRAM.
Food Conservation Must Be In
tensified Whether War
Ends or Not.

The food conservation program
for 191S-1919 is mathematics
plus patriotism. The figures
are simple. The United States
is pledged to send to our sol
diers and allies so per cent more
food than we did last year, to
say nothing Of the starving mill
lions whom we must feed after
the war.
We must send 17,5OO,O0O tons;
we sent 1880. 900 tons last year,
and that 1880. 600 tons was 40
per cent more than we sent the
year before.
We know how much food there
Is, where 1t Is needed and just
how much can be shipped. The
program agreed to calls for 81
per cent more meat and fat, So
per cent more breadstufts and Fl
per cent more sugar than was
shipped last year.
Where Will we get that 5000
900 more tons this year, Our
people must save it. They must
buy less, cook less. eat less OF
everything, and waste nothing.
