This was nccotnptlNhcd In the fucc of h serious food shortnee In this country, benpcnklnjr tho wliolelicnrtedtipfm nnd patriotism with which Ui American people Imvc tnet tlit food erluls iibrnml. Tood Administrator Hoover, In n let ter to President Wilson, explains how the situation wuu met. The voluntary conservation proKram fostered by tha Tood Administration enabled tho pllliiK up of tho millions of bushels of wheat during 101718 nnd thu shipment of meat durlnic 1017-18. The total vnluo of nil food ship menls to Allied destinations amounted to f MOO.000.000, all this fond helnic bounht through or In collaboration with the food Administration. These figures are nil based on olllclnl reports and represent fond exports for thu harvest year that closed Juno 80, HUH. Tht shipment! of meats nnd fats (Including meat products, dairy prod ucts, vecetablo oils, etc.,) to Alllel des tinations were as follows: Fiscal year 101017.... 2,100,000.000 lbs.

Approximately 75 per cent, of our sugar is shipped to our shores. Wo produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar a yoar. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000. 000 tons a yoar in normal times. Tho United States Food Administration asks each family to limit its use of stiffar to two pounds per month per person for household use. Tho military situation de mands that every available ship be placed at the disposal of tho Army or Navy. When we save sugar, we save shipping.
