J Conservation measures applied bj j the American people enabled the United States to ship to the Allied peoples L| and to onr own forces overseas 141?;j 000,000 bushels of wheat and 844,0OO> 000 pounds of meat during the past i year, valued In aH at $1,400,000,000, i Thl? van ar>rnmnllfth*ri In the face of a 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 B L 4 ?A1UKamHAH | DO U gilt ULTUUgU Ui 1U wuauviauvu ! 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 ,| pre-war period. !

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.

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* em hemisphere all of those people | Joined together against Germany have 11 cpia? uroafii into iifn\ ox uie cumuf k|?Wt not only with wealth and Vtrraftii Ml/ maintained, but wltb alj temporary p*rioda of hardship. <$t |? difficult t* tfettacvMh bctwem *?i4iin> kaMIah fl ft/ nnf lUAnl&_tka bomtt, public toting plocoo, foo4 tniw, irki or o#rle*lturol popolo<lw> it mmmIdi erodlt for thooo p* rolto, kit so odo will dooj tko 6oat ?at >ort oCtko Aaortgaa tobm.' : v,v . * y * ' * - I COAT SUITS I COATS and DRESI "I I We have on disj line of READ\ GARMENTS In the above lir You will find th and reasonably ering quality i ship.
