If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor
tion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the
next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we mu3t reduce
our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month, as
against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels,
or 50 per cent, of our normal consumption. This is the situa
tion as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washing
ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for
special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately
1
pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food
Administration’s statement continues: Many of our consumers
are dependent upon bakers’ bread. Such bread must be durable
and therefore, requires a larger proportion of wheat products
than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and
njivy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat
prbducts than can the poor. In addition, our population in
the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun
dant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from the^e
other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations.
With improved transportation conditions we now have avail
able a surplus of potatoes. W e also have in the spring months
a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human
consumption. The drain on rye and bariey, as substitutes, has
already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains.
To effect the ueeded wiving o f wheat
we Hre wholly (Impendent upon the
Voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules «hall tie observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
a total of 1 % pounds per week of

In addition thereto, not to serve to

Ing establishments not u> buy more

S. Retailers to sell not more than

town customer at any one time and
not more thnn one-quarter o f a barrel
to any country customer at auy one
tlme, and In no case to sell wheat
producta without the sale o f au equal
weight o f other cereals.
4. We usk the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume o f Victory bread
Mild, by delivery o f the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
I fore, and eorres|iondlng proportion*
in other weights. We also ask bakers
not to Increase the amount o f their
wi.eat flour purchases beyond TO per
(cent. o f the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March 1.
5. Manufacturers-using wheat prod-
urts for non-food purposes should

Many thousand families throughout

Meat Supply Hera Considerably Efe
ta ged — Food Adminlctration,
However, Warna Against
Waata.
The allies have made further and
increased demand» for breadstuff*,
'h ew enlarged demands being caused
to some degree by shortage tn arrival*
from the Argentine. It Is, Uierefore,
necessary for the U. 8. Food Admini*
Irutlou to urge u «till further reduction
In the consumption o f bread and breao-
stuffs generally tf we are to meet oar
export necessities. The Food Atynlfe-
Istration has issue«) a statement ex
plaining the situation In detail, parties
ulurly the reasons which lead it, for
the purpose o f centering effort for the
time heing upon the cereal situation
to relax temporarily the restrictions on
meat consumption.
Exiierlence shows, this statement
says, that the consumption o f bread-
stuffs is intiniutely associated with the
consumption of meat. For various
reasons our supplies o f meat for the
next two or three months are consid
erably enlarged, and we can supply the
allies with all o f the meat product*
which transportation facilities render
IMissihlc and at the same time some
what increase our own consumption.
In these circumstances the Food Ad
ministration considers It wise to relax
the voluntary restrictions on meat con
sumption to some extent with n view
to further decreaAng bread consump
tion.
Conservation o f food must be ad-
Justed to meet necessities from time to
time, for neither production, nor al
lied demands are constant factors, nor
cau auy o f these factors be anticipated
for long period* In advance In the dl»-
turtied renditions In which we at pres
ent live. While (he world situation 1*
not one that warrants any relaxation
in the efforts to eliminate waste or to
relax economy in fo»jd. the Adminis
tration desires to se.-uro better adjust
ment In food balances.
So loug as the present conditions
continue the only special restriction*
we ask are the heelless and porklea*
Tuesday.
Til.* meatless meal and the porklea*
Saturday are no longer asked.
The farmers o f the United State»
are ras;n>nding to the nutional call to
Increase bog production. Their In
crease. to all appearances, is being at
tained more rapidly. Of more imme
diate imperianee, however, are several
complex factors which have effected
an Immediate increase in meat sup
plies.
,
Tiie transportation shortage before
the sovernment took over the rail
roads. the bud weather in January and
early in February, the large percent
age of immature corn in the last har
vest and the necessity o f feeding this
eoru as rapidly as possible to save It
from decay, have not only resulted la
hacking up the animals— particularly
hogs—on the farms fur a longer pe
riod o f feeding, hut have resulted In a
great increase in their average weight
and will result, with Improved tran*-
portatlon conditions, which already ap
pear, in larger than normal arrivals at
market for the next two or three
months. The weight o f hogs coming
to the market for the past two weeks
indicates an increase in weight of
from an average o f 203 pounds last,
year to the almost unprecedented
average o f 232 pounds, or a net in
crease tn their meat value o f over 16
per cent. This is a distinct addition
to the nation's meat supply. It there
fore now seems certain that we have
such enlarged supplies for at least
some months to come, that we can not
only increase our exports to the allies
to the full ex ent o f their transporta
tion facilities, hut at the same time
can properly increase our domestic
consumption.
The response o f the public to our re
quests for reduced consumption of
meat during the past few months has
been most gratifying, aud this service
slooe has enabled the government dur
ing this period to provide such sup
plies as transportation to the allle*
permitted.
The Administration also suggests
hat In those parts ot the country
vhere the old fashioned home preser
vation o f pork la still the custom, this
practice should be extended at the
present time, as it will relieve the tiur-
len upon transp«irtatlon to and from
:he pocking houses and Is economical
ly sound as saving the cost of packing
»pvrations and at the same time wHI
provide home snppll®* o f pork to last
jver the months o f decreased supplier
The Food Administration desires to
repeat that It docs not waot to give
the Impression that these are time*«
when simplicity and moderation o f liv
ing are not critically necessary, but
that Itfe role desire Is to secure an n«*-
luatment between our different food
supplies und meet changing conditions
from time to time and to keep tbs pulv
lie fully nnd frankly advised of Its
position with the full confidence h i m !
reliance that whenever It become* nec
essary renewed appeals for savin-: will
met the name loyal response as in th*
past.
