W R ITE S FROM FRAN CE
have never read in books, and so
many things I have read in books
have been so contrary to what I have
experienced and observed, that if
ever I do get back I may be able to
tell others.
The French people are the most
kind and polite people that I have
ever had any dealings with. I never
dreamed of so much of it in any one
race of people. It has been a won
derful experience for me to profit by
when I get home.
Since I began this letter with such
a sad tone 1 have rather “ eased up”
and feel much better because, well,
you know the because.
I wish that I had time to write
every one of you a personal letter,
but this I am unable to do because
I really haven’t the time during these
strenuous times.
I have ordered the Stayton Mail
sent to me and while that w ill be a
great tonic for me, there is nothing
that would take the place of letters
from my students.
Just remember, anyway, that I
think o f you many times every day.
Yours very truly,
— Burgess F. Ford.

Remarkable Rssu'tx at End of Food

—Confidence That People Will Con

la Felt at Washington.
W. B. Ayer. Federal Food Adntnis
trator for Oregon, earnestly directs ,
atteution to some excerpts from a ru
cent official summary, at the end of
its first year’s work, of the United
States Food Administration’s alms
methods and results. Those excorpts
are given below:
“ When the U. S. Food Admin'strn
tlon undertook the work of conserving
and mobilising America's food re
source«, there were three methods of
approach possible in handling the
problem, these methods of control be
tn$ rationing, high prices aud vuluu
tary effort.
The Three System».
“ The introduction of rationing Into
this country would have resulted in
an inevitable reaction. It would also
mean a tremendous expenditure. On
the basts of the rationing system
adopted by European countries for
certain staple foods, it wou’d require
I4.800.00t* a year for the printing of
the necessary ration cards; it woutd
demand one official for every 1.000
fcmilier to take gare of d stributien
under this system; in fact, on the
European basts, about 845,000,000 a
year would be required to administer
the rationing system in this country.
"Control of consumption by high
prices was obviously too unfair to
merit consideration in such a country
as ours, meaning as it must, conserva
tion for the rick at the expense of the
poor.
"The voluntary system, baaed upon
•ducatiea and publicity (the third al
ternative), was selected because of
the moderate expense Involved, and
because of the opportunity it afforded
to uae the great desire of loyal Amer-
lame to serve their country.
Results Eneemeua
"The results of the voluntary control
* t food have been enormous. The sur
plus of the 1917-18 wheat crop, based
an normal consumption, would have
been 80.000,000 bushels. If the present
rate of saving by the American people
continues, we shall be able to deliver
to our Allies from this crop possibly
170.000. 000 bushels of wheat, of which
160.000. 000 will represent the volun
tary savings of the American people.
This delivery of wheat has enabled the
Allies to meet the more immediate
and pressing bread neods of their peo
ple. and to keep up the bread ration
af their soldiers.
“ As to our exports of meat, the re
sults of conservation are even more
remarkable. The analysis of figures
in regard to hogs indicates that we
were 5.000.000 to 7.000.000 hogs short
when the conservation campaign was
started. Before the war. the average
monthly export of hog products was
about 50,000,000 pounds. In March.
1918, we exported 300.000.000 pounds
and can see our way clear, with the
present saving and production, to go
forward at this rate for an Indefinite
period. Before 1914. we were export
ing from 1,000,000 to &.000.C00 pounds
of beef per month. After the Euro
pean war began, there was an In
crease to about 28.000,000 per month.
Now, we are exporting at the rate of
130.000. 000 pounds of beef per month
and. with the continuation of conser
vation and production, there is no
reason to anticipate a material reduc
tion in these figures.
Great Offensive Needed.
"The winning of the war depends
•pon the development of grfat offen
sive strength on the part of the United
States. This offensive must include
ships, men, supplies and food. With
the increase in the size of our Army,
there Is a necessary decrease in our
productive capacity.
Harvests are
hound to vary with seasonal condi
tions
“ The only safe procedure for us and
for the Allies is to provide enormous
reserve stocks of staple foods, both
here and in Europe, to meet any ernes
gency which may arise. In a later
period of the war. to have to stop in
a critical phase of it in order to jgit
nnusual emphasis upon agricultural
production, might be fatal to our final
success.
“ There mast be no let down in the
program of conservation until the new
harvest. Heartened by our success
and by the spirit of devotion and self-
sacrifice »hown by the American peo
ple, we must go ahead more than ever
convinced of our responsibility to
those who fight with us and to thoes
unfortunate peoples who look to us
as the one s«urce of the food supply
necessary to keep them from destruc
tion.
