Ffjd Conseryation
Program for Farms
America's Food pledge Requires Additional
Savings From Limited Supplies?Sources
of Food Looses on
Farms and How These May Be Re;
duced.
Colombia.?From a harvest less In
* aggregate production than last year,
the United States must export at
least 17 H million tons of foodstuffs
overseas during the coming season.
IThis is about 12 million tons more
than average pre-war exports, or nearly
two tons apiece for the average
American farm where most of this
food originates.
Rigid conservation of food and feed
- stored in granaries, cribs, barns and
similar buildings?also products now
in -the fields?are essential to properly
maintain our owe. population and to
meet increased foreign needs. Animal
feeds, though in a crude form,
must be considered as food, since
they are the basis for meat, milk and
poultry products.
The vast quantity of food stuffs
stored on farms makes opportunities
I for saving them correspondingly
large. Following are common sources
of food losses with suggestions for reducing
them:
FIRE?Remove inflammable rubbish,
'plow fireguards, use care with
matches, lanterns and stoves. Supplement
these safety measures with
fire fighting equipment kept in a definite
place for instant use. In brief,
consider a farm as a food munition
establishment.
SHELTER?Prevent spoilage and
deterioration by putting all foodstuffs
possible under adequate shelter. Full
utilization of storage space and
prompt repair of roofs help greatly in
preventing food losses. By sheltering
foodstuffs on farms conservation is effected
at the source.
RATS AND PESTS?Regard rats
*nd similar pests seriously, as the direct
enemy of starving humanity. Exclude
them with concrete floors amd
dfcfltmv their hreedinr nlacos. Rats
fil mast not eat holes in ear bulwarks of
EM national defense.
SB STOCK LOSSES?More than a milSjH
Son tons of our food exports must
jn comprise meats, fats, dairy products
BHand poultry products. The quantity
Hof this class of food depends largely
99|on comfortable housing and the care
which animals receive. Needless exn
pes are and irregular alteration may re^HvuK
in reduced production and morHMtality.
Thorough farm conservation
demandi that livestock be kept com^Hfortable
and in heaKhy condition,
S^W thereby securing maximum result*
HHfrom the feed consumed.
iH In complying with these suggeaf
9Hdons. and extending them to cover
fl^Hsdditiocal sources ef loss, farmers are
^^ asked to consider this program necI^Heas&ry
on til next harvest, even should
SHpoace oozne before that time. Besides
H^Eeedfng ourselves, the United States
pledged to feed the Allies, and we
^^Knust also supply the people in terriSHtory
now being reoovered from Gar*
|Hbiq dominion. We meat realise that
|HR>eaee wiU brtng no additional food,
nj^TCt ' instead tooreaaed obligations.

Pjgjji Thus strict conservation in all foods
fAn^e mi favn m i?
Ive in addition to the lood program
>r homes and public eatiag places,
oakpttance with these requests will
liable the United States to fulfill
resent obligations and be ready for
nr responsibilities.
AREFUL SHIPPING WILL
SAVE LIVE STOCK LOSSES
Colombia.?The attention of live
.oek shippers is called by the Food
.dmimstratioa to the necessity of
ireful loading of live stock, p&rticuriy
hog shipments. While there Is
? available data at hand giving ex5t
figures, the number of dead - or
rippled enrfmaLs arriving at market
large, and, therefore, serious. It
I not only a wasta 01 money oat a
Tiflc tute of foodstuffs, and durl
tbe present crucial period when It
so vital to eliminate waste, it does
t reflect favorably on those trig aged
the lire stock industry to permit
cfc waste. While It has always been
stomary to lay the Mame on the
ilroads, the Food Administration
lis that, although the railroads may
re been responsible for a great deal
loss la the past, it has not been a
e-eided affair by any manner of
*ns. The utmost care in loading
stock will result in cutting down
? losses, and ths co-operation of all
>ee engaged in the lira stock indns'
Is asked my the Food AdmicdstraJ<ST
NOT SLACKEN NOW
IN FOOD CONSERVATION
Columbia. ? By increasing the
[nthly allowance of sugar from 2
13 pounds per person, tne Food AdHBtration
emphatically declares
t this must not be taken as meanthat
the conservation of foodstuffs
rerally is not now fully as import
as it was at the height of the
ar shortage. The United States
it increase food exports by onef
from a harvest no larger than
t year's. This will call for the
Ct rijrid economy and for patriotic
>p?ration of the American housop
and continued food conservative.
