OUR SAVED FOOD - ----- ,v- y . . . . - . .- i FED Food Administrator Writes Presi dent America Conserved 141, : 000,000 Bushels Wheat CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by 844,600,000 Pounds. Conservation measures applied by the American people enabled the Unit ed States to ship to the Allied peoples and to our own forces overseas 141, 000,000 bushels of wheat and 844,600, 000 pounds of meat during the past year, valued in all at $1,400,000,000. This was accomplished in the face of a serious food shortage in this country, bespeaking the wholeheartedness and patriotism with which the American people have met the food crisis abroad. Food Administrator Hoover, in a let ter to President Wilson, explains how the situation was met. The voluntary conservation program fostered by the Food Administration enabled the piling up of the millions of bushels of wheat during 1917-18 and the shipment of meat during 1917-18. The total value of , all food ship ments to Allied destinations amounted to $1,400,000,000, all this food being bought through or .In collaboration with the Food Administration. These figures are all based on official reports ancj! represent food exports for the harvest year that closed tTune 30, 1918. The shipments of meats and fats (including meat products, dairy prod ucts, vegetable oils, etc.O.to Allied des tinations were as follows : Fiscal year 1916-17... .2,166,500,000 lbs. Fiscal year 1917-18. . ..3,011,100,060 lbs. Increase 844,600.000 lbs. Our slaughterable animals at the be ginning of the last fiscal year were not appreciably larger than the year be fore and particularly in hogs; they were probably less. The increase in shipments ,is due to conservation and the extra weight of animals added by our farmers. The full effect of these efforts began to bear their best results in the last half of the fiscal year, when the ex ports to the Allies were 2,135,100,000 pounds, as against 1,266,500,000 pounds In the same period of the year before. This compares with an average of 801,000,000 pounds of total exports for the same half years in the three-year pre-war period. In cereals and cereal products re duced to terms of cereal bushels oiii shipments to Allied destinations have been : Fiscal year 1916-17.. 259,900,000 bushels Fiscal year 1917-18.. 340,SOO,000 bushels Increase 80,900,000 bushels Of these cereals our shipments of the prkne breadstuffs in the fiscal year 1917-18 to Allied destinations were: Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of rye 13,900,000 bushels, a total of 144,900, 000 bushels. f The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 1916-17 were: Wheat 135,100,000 bushels and rye 2,300,000 bushels, a total of 137,400,000 bushels. In addition some 10,000,000 bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port for Allied destinations or n route thereto. The total shipments to Allied countries from our last harvest of wheat will be therefore, about 141,000, 000 bushels, or a total of 154,900,000 bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad dition to this we have shipped somr 10,000,000 bushels to neutrals depend ent upon us, and we have received some Imports from other quarters. "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 1916-17 from net carryover and as surplus over our normal consumption about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat which we were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf," Mr. Hoover said. "This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1917 v heat crop, we had available from net cnrry-over and production and Imports only jus;t about our normal consump tion. Therefore our wheat shipments to Allied destinations represent ap proximately savings from our own wheat bread. "These figures, however, do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice made during the past year by the whole Americati people. De spite the magnificent effort of our agri cultural population in planting a much Increased acreage In 1917, not only was there a very large failure In wheat, bin also the corn failed to mature prop en y, 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 wt'.l as urban, who have contributed to these results should feel a very d finite satisfaction that In a year of wi.iversal food shortages In the north. ern hemisphere all of those people joii.ed together against Germany-have coir.e through Into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and Str iigth fully .maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship, "It Is difficult to distinguish between vn Hrus sections of our people the hot v s, public eating places, food tr;::. s, urban or agricultural popqla tiot.s in assessing credit for these re sults, but no one will deny the dnl Dan: part of the American women.1" A :oardr Is a man who is mors.

Spencer Aldermen Ignore Rights of Citizens. The alderman of Spencer held a busy session August 9th and passed upon a number of things of interest. The one of most importance w&s the passing of an ordinance requiring new registration, this applies especi ally to men between 18 and 45, and require that all males regis ter, give name, age, occupation, the kind of work beat fitted for, the amount of earnings, and a number of other things of value to the government. The limit for such a registration will be 20 days after the law passes its third reading. Such places as Greensboro, Charlotte, Asheville and other cities have similar laws, but this no reason why a little board of alderman should say what several thousand peo ple should do unless a majority of the citizens have requested it.
