JElimination of , Waste and Careful Control of Food. - Exports Form the Solution of This War Problem. Washington, Ang. 29—What the peo- ple of the Uni ted States not only cuu but must do in the matter of .food-pro-' 'flyctfon-and-use in order to help \yin the a*ir is set forth- in detail in a statement issued today by‘‘Food-'Ad ministrator Herbert (NHoovcr. If we' fliil to dtr.'our part in this respect, he «ays, the people of (lie allies cannot be maintained at war, for their Soldiers caimot tight without food'. 'i he normal imports of .wheat and other cereals by ..France; Italy, The United Kingdom and Belgium, ami the estimates—of- the 1917 crop in those countries compared to the normal pro duction are given by iMr. Hoover In tabulated form, and the conclusion Is drawn that in order to provide normal •consumption it. will / be necessary for them to import tn^ the next 12 months 577,000,000'bushels of wheat and 07i,OOO,O0y bushels of other cere als. If the crops ufthe United States . •and Canada all mature'safely, North 1 ~~2f \vITT have' an 'a’pparetit sur plus of 2os,000;OtX> bushels of wheat and 050,ooo,(too bushels' of-other cere als? Tlie atfhv, therefore, must use ot lifer cereals than -wheat • for m*ixi-ng in flieir war bread, ami the people of* America must reduce their consump tion of-Wheat Hour from live to four pounds per week per person. "Decreapc in Food' Animal8.' A .careful estimate of tin* world’s food animal position shows a total net decrease of/115,<N)5,(.MJ0, and this ^\v111 be greater as the war goes on. As the increase Of herds and (locks takes A I yms, we- must reduce the consump tion, eliminate waste and carefully con trol meat exports. (Mir home dairy products supplies are decreasing, while .our population Is lmrcasl'hg. and we must ship In creasing amounts of such products to our allies. Consequently this indus try must' beNoimulated, and home users must save thgwastcs in milk and butter. Much the sarue nmy lie said Ui the ease of sugar. \ 'V Mr. -Hoover urges a greater con- . stimprioTr nf dish and sea foods, in ......which pijr. coasts. jiiuFChikv-s tire enor mously rich.
