Meat and Fat Shipmenta Increased by

Conservation measures ai^IlM 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 844,000,-
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,
beejl>eaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
^ood Administrator Hoover, in a let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The yoluntary
consen’ation 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,(KX), *all this food being
bougiit through or in collaboration
with the Food,Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food experts for th^
harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
(Including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc.,) to Allied des
tinations were as follows:
Fiscal year 1916-17... .2,166,5(10.000 lbs.
Fiscal y.ear ia,lI48A*sJj011.,lOO.OOO lbs.
Increase 844,600,(X)0lbs.
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, %^n the ex-
iports to the Allies were ^33,100,000
^pounds, as against 1,266,500,000 pounds
in the same period of the year before.
This compares with an average of
801,000,(X)0 pounds of total exports for
the same ba}f years in the three-year
pre-war period.

8uced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have

Increase 80,900,000 busiiels
Of these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs'^ln the fiscal year
1917-18 to Allied destinations- were;
Wheat 131,000,000 bushels alid of rye
13,900,000 bushels,* a total of 144,900,-
000 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1916-17 were:
Wheat 135,100,000 bushels and fye
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 en route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will l^e therefore, abqut 141,000,-
(KX) bushels, or a total of 154,900,000
. bushels of prime breadstufiPs. In ad
dition to this we kRve shipped som«
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 beSr in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1910-17
from net carry-over and as surplus
over, our normal consumption about
200,()00,000 bushels of wheat which we
wer.e able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf,” Mr.
Hobver 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
only Just about our normal consump
tion: Therefore our wheat shipmenta
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 American people. De
spite tbe 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,
^'~' "t>ut also the com failed to'mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant eiopi
“I am sure,” Mr. Hoover - wrote la
concluding his rejport, “that all the
millions of our people, agricultural as
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel a very
definite satisfaction that in a year of
universal fa.Qd 8j^rtages'In the north,
era hemisphere all" of-those-peopl*
Joined together against Germany have
come through Into sight of the coming
harvest only with wealth and
strength fiisiy maintained, but with
enly temporary periods of hurdshlp.
“It is difllcitt te dlstinguTih betweea
various sailtMs o^ our people—the
bymes, jnMc eating places, food
trades, iM«b or agricnlfural popula- -
tloDS—In assessing credit for these re-
snlts, but no one will deny the doiol»
nant part of the American women."
