SHE KEPT THEM ON THE JOB PROVED SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY Voluntary Basis of Food Saving Showed Heart of America Beat True for Freedom. To the voluntary service and snrr! flee of the American .people must be attributed the continued health, strength and morale of the Allied ar mies and the d7il populace. Upon this spirit of service and sac rifice will depend Europe's fate in the months to come. In the past year we have carried out an export program, the magnitude of which is almost be yond comprehension. But with the new demands tkat have come, with the liberation of nations freed from German oppression, oar exports must be almost doubled. Instead of ll.SttO, 000 tons, we must 6hlp twenty million tons of food to Europe In the coming year?as much as can be pushed j through our ports. If the Allies had not been fed by JUilUIll, H M u Bill 1? 11 I I I | alble for them to maintain their de fense against Germany. VooHiifl thia wftfid need on a rarely voluntary basis, the American people have conclusively proved that democ racy is a success ana that in time of need It will rise to its own defense. If there were no other accomplish ment to its credit the very fact that it "has shown the strength of democracy has in itself more than Justified the existence of the Food Administration in the eyes of the worldT Less thnn four months after the United States declared war the United Stattis. Food Administrator expressed his determination to meet America's JCood problem on a basis of voluntary action and reiterated his confidence that awakened democracy would prove Irresistible. thinking Americans," said Mr. Hoovefv~"a?d?tW?whole world have been watching anxiously the last four months in the fear that demo cratic America could not or^unlze to meet autocratic Germany. Germany lias been confident that It could not be done. Contrary proof is immediately at our door, and our people have al ready demonstrated their ability to mobilize, organize, endure and prepare voluntarily and efficiently In many di rections and upon the mere word of Inspiration aside from, the remarkable assemblage of our Army and finances.** The history of the Food Administra tion has clearly Bhown that the trust of those who pat their faith in democ racy has not been misplaced. be pod to be food Saver SAVE 16.GOO.OOO BUSHELS CF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY WAS LCST IN THRESHING Farmer?, Urged by Food Administra tion, Provide Seven Extra Loaves of Bread for Every American. By adopting cleaner threshing meth ods and by literally combing harvest fields to gather grain formerly wast ed. threshermen and farmers of the United States this year saved fully 1G.i\K'.000 bushels of wheat, estimated as equivalent to about seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person In the country. This result, accompanied by corresponding savings of barley, oats, rye and other grains, Is shown by reports from 33 grain states to the U. 3. Food Administration. Other state?, although not prepared to furnish defi nite figures of conservation In the grain fields, report greatly reduced harvest losses. This rural food saving achievement, accomplished in scarcely six months* time, was in direct response to re quests by the Food Administration, which asked farmer? and threshermen to reduce harvest losses from about In normal times?to the lowest possi ble minimum. Country grain thresh -ing?committer carried into every grain growing community the oAlclal recommendations for accomplishing th$ results desire?! In numerous instances drivers of racks with leaky bottoms were sent from the fields to repair their equip ment and frequently bad order thresh ing machines were stopped until the cause of waste was removed. Iiut In proportion to the number of persons engaged In gathering the nation's grain crop, cases of compulsion were com paratively rare. The Food Admlnl? tratlon freely attributes the success of the grain threshing campaign to pa triotic sortlce l>y farmers, thresher men and their crews. Incidental!} grain growers of the United States arc many millions of dollars "In pocket' a? a result of the grain saved. NO ONE SUFFERED HERE. The marvel of our voluntary foo<l snving# now t!;at we are "getting re sults," Is that no one ever actually bulVend any hardship from It; that we all are totter In healtn and spirit and better satisfied with ourselves be cause of our friendly self-deniaL Food control In Atnerlca held thi prl^e of breadstuffs steady, prevented vicious speculation and extortion anC preserved tranquillity at home. In no other nation 1? there so willing a sense of voluntary self-sacrifice as In America?that was shown in the abstinence from wheat. Find more wheat. It come; mor? pork. It came; nave sugar, it was done. So Americans answered the challenge of German starvation. Good will rule? the new world ai fear governed the old world. Through sharing food America helps make th? whole world kin. Food control made sufficiency from shortage, kept the rein on food prices, gave the nation's full strength exer cise. - Starvation by Germany challenged aTl the world | food conservation ij America answered the challenge. , -Food conservation in Am? ;ica haj been tjie triumph of Individual devo tlon to the national caus^ Only Ona Corn Peeler, "Gets-It" Stop Corn Fains; See Corn Feel Off.
