serious food shortage Id this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedneis and
I: patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad
Food Administrator Hoover, in a let
1 ter to President Wilson, explains bow
the situation was met The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
i up of the millions of bushels of wbeat
,1 during 1917-18 and the shipment ol
| meat during 1917-18.
I The total value of all food shipments
to Allied destinations amounted
1 to $1,400,000,000, all this food being

! with the Food Administration. These
I figures are all based on official reports
| and repi 'sent food exports for th?
I harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
I The shipments of meats and fata
lj (Including meat products, dairy prodi
acts, vegetable oils, etc.,) to Allied destlnatlons
were as follows:
1 Fiscal year 1916-17... .2,160,800,000 lb*
Fiscal year 1917-18....3,011,100,000lbs,
Increase 844,600,000 lbs.
Our slaughterable animals at the beginning
of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year before
and particularly In hogs; thej
1 were probably less. The Increase In
' shipments Is due to conservation and
' the extra weight of animals added bj
our farmers.
i The full effect of these efforts began
, to bear their best results In the last
I; half of the fiscal year, when the ex
ports to the Allies were 2,i33,iuu,uutJ
i pounds, as against 1,266,500,000 poundi
1 In the same period of the year before,
> This compares with an average ol
. 801,000,000 pounds of total exports for
J the same half years In the three-yeai

I Increase 80,900,000bushels
'j Of these cereals our shipments ol

1917-18 to Allied destinations were:

The exports to Allied destination
i during the fiscal year 1916-17 were:
i Wheat 135,100,000 bushels and ry*
2,300,000 bushels, a total of 137,400,000
| iushels. Id addition some 10,000,000
I bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port
! lor Allied destinations or en route
! thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
I wheat will be therefore, about 141,000^
; 000 bushels, or a total of 154,900,000
] bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad :
dltlon to this we have shipped some
j 10,000,000 bushels to neutrals depend{
ent upon us, and we have received
" some Imports from other quarters.
I "This accomplishment of our people
in this matter stands out even more
< clearly if we bear In mind that we had
| available In the fiscal year 1910-17
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption aboat
i 200,000,000 bushels of wheat which wa
| were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf," Mr.
I 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
I only just about our normal consumption.
Therefore our wheat shipments

j "These figures, however, do not fully
! convey the volume of the effort and
' sacrifice mads during tbe past year
1 by the whole American people. Despite
the magnificent effort of our agricultural
population In planting a much
J increased acreage in 1917, not only was
I there a very large failure In wheat,
? but also the corn failed to maturo propi
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
"I am sure," Mr. Hoover wrote in
| concluding his report, "that all the
' millions of our people, agricultural as
well as urban, who have contributed
i to these results should feel a very
I definite satisfaction that In a year of
' universal food shortages in the north*
