100000 bushels of wheat and S44, GOO
600 pounds of meat during the past
year. valued In all at 81, 400, 600, 600
This was accomplished in the face of a
serious food shortage Ia this country,
bespeaking the whOleheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, In q 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 1918 and the shipment OF
meat during 1917-1S
The total value Of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to 81, 4000O0,000 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

$4,000, 900 bushels

Increase ......... 100000 bushels
OF these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs In the fiscal year
1917-1S to Allied destinations were
Wheat 49,, 100000 bushels and Of rye
100000 bushels, total of IA, 9OO,-
900 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1861 were:
Wheat 1875, 100000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, total of 1877 400, 900
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels Of 1917 wheat are now In port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments TO Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore, about al ,OOO,-
900 bushels, or total Of 154,900,000
bushels Of prime breadstuffs. In adj
ditiOn to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels TO neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
This accomplishment of our people
I'm this matter stands out even more
clearly If we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1867
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200. 100000 bushels of wheat which we
were able TO export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. This last year, however,
owing TO the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop. we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal cOnsump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the ma gnlfcent effort of our agrl-
cultural population In planting much
increased acreage In 1917. not only was
there very large failure In wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
eriy, and our corn is our dominant crop.

Our slaughterable animals at the be-

But one major nation, Japan, Is as

Germany is not so favorably situated
as the figures indicate, because huge
