If the American People Will Eat , Less1 Than Two Ounces More ' of Wheat In Any Form at Each Meal, the Average Surplus Will 1 Bo Taken Up. The Statesman has lately had some reference " to the "Eat More Wheat" campaign that is being carried on throughout' the United States; The; idea originated within the organisation of the great anlilers. the Washburn-Crosby Co.-of. Min neapolis, and James. P. Bell, vice president of that company, seems to be one -of the leading ; splrtta. His researches in this field -bfing out some startling facts, j The following are some, state ments he makes in a recent letter TONIGHT 'A'LKEU -W M ITES I DE TUEWINDU- ' Kk 0 nlf p j '.IT. to the "newspapers of the United i States: ' J, . ' .j "You have already given ser? ious consideration to my earlier letter regarding the exportable surplus of. whe'ai and its. effects upon the price which the Ameri can farmer receives. " ' "You will, I think, agree with me that it Is ( economically un sound, on the present basis of our land values, to jgrow wheat and sell it only at a lpss in the world's market in competition with other wheat producing! nations, who can accept a price that, is remunera tive to themselves because of their cheaper! lands, cheaper, labor and. lower standards ' of living. , ; "Therefore, id view; of our ear lier correspondence. I believe the enclosed group of statistics will Increase your interest in the eco nomic significance of a common sense plan .o deal with our ex portable surplus; of wheat. These figures ' illustrate the fact that wheat Is the great vehicle for car-.1 rying other primary farm products into competition,.- -".. - '-: ,. -I - ,To- dispose) of our.0.,average surplus of 170. OOO.OOfr-m bushels per year TIs simpllctty,': ltselfless than, two ounces more of wheat in any form at each meal will do it. But even jthen.the wheat con sumption of' the United. States would not equal the wheat con sumption of either Canada, France or Belgium, i - ( "If all who hear of Eat More Wheat do it, it is done. The re sult of doing this will be in every way remarkable: " lj All; elements of farming will be benefited by stimulated consumption of wheat. K "2 All the public will he bene fited by the consumption of basic, simple foods. . '. ' "3. All business will be benefit ed by an Increased purchasing" ca pacity on the part of all farmers. . "This Is as you already know, not- a plan that belongs to our company. We are merely helping others to se what U means to all ' . ." - -. "Wheat, ihe Great. Vehicle (The following quotations are from a-radio speech by Mr. Ben, Broadcasted AprU 1 t) ; Statfsllcal 4nformtlm. ..": fectlng the farmers o the United States through the home con sumption of out average onQJ export of 170.000,000 bushel of ?hWheat is the greatest vehicle through which farm products of all kinds reaches the consumer. For instance, the Increased con sumption: of this 170 mi lion bu shels of wheat, constituting our surplus which Is now : shipped abroad, if consumed at home and converted Into bread by commer cial bakers, would require the utilization of other products as follows: ' ' , l - Corn 162.500.00a bushels of corn would be required to fatten w .a. frnm which the lard re- Quired for baking the bread made from this 170 million, ousneia i wheat would be obtained. 1,500,000 bushels of corn would be required in making the yeast for baking the bread made from this 170,000.000 bushels of Additional large quantities of corn would be required for mak ing eorn starch which would be used in nfhklng sweet (goods.

In addition there would be larger amounts of milk and oream consumed In " connection with breakfast foods, milk toast, etc. - Butter If butter were spread very thinly on all the bread made from this 170,000,000 bushels of wheat, more than a billion pounds won Id be requi red. Rye and barley-: To make 140, 000,000 -pounds of yeast which would be required In , baking the bread from this 170 million bu; shels Of wheat would mean the use of 1.500,000. bushels of each of rye. barley and. corn, Cheese, meats, fruits, etc. There is no way of calculating the cheese on the bread and crackers, nor that which goes into the mac aron J'or , sphagetti, (horthe vege table T sauces ' that are ' consumed with . macaroni or 'spaghetti; r it is equally difficult to tell I much goes .into the aand? which is the basis of every wc man's pall, of every picnic, ana , -the hurry-up lunch.
