Remarkable Result at End of Feed
Administration's First Year Proves
Voluntary System Was No Mistake
Ccnfidence That People Will Con
tinue Patriotic Conservation Efforts',
Is Felt at WaV-'noton.
W. B. Ayer, Federal Food Adminis
trator for Oregon, earnestly directs
attention to some excerpts from a re
cent official summary, at the end of
its first year's work, of the United
Spates Food Administration's aims,
methods and results. These excerpts
are given below:
"When the U. S. Food Administra
tion undertook the work of conserving
and mobilizing America's food re
sources, there were three methods of
approach possible in handling the
problem, these methods of control be
lts; rationing, high prices and volun
tary effort.
The Three Systems.
"The introduction of rationing into
this country would have resulted in
an inevitable re-action. It would also
mean a tremendous expenditure. On
the basis of the rationing system
adopted by European countries for
certain staple foods, it would require
$4,800,000 year for the printing of
the necessary ration cards; it would
demand one official for every 1,000
families to take oare of distribution
under this system; in fact, on the
European basis, about $45,000,000 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, couserva
tion for the rich at the expense of the
poor.
"The voluntai'y system, based upon
education and publicity (the third al
ternative), was selected because of
the moderate expense lisvclvsd, and
because of the opportunity it afforded
to use the great desire of loyal Amer
icans to serve their country. i
Results Enormous. I
"The resu'ts of the voluntary control
of food have been enormous. The sur
plus of the 1917-18 wheat crop, based
on normal consumption, would have
been 20.000,000 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
150,000,000 will represent the volun
tary savings of tho American people.
This delivery of wheat tas enabled the '
Allies to meet the more immediate
and pressing bread needs of their peo-
p!o, and to keep up the bread ration
of their soldiers. I
"As to our exports of meat, the re-'
suits 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 6,000,000 pounds
of beef per month. After the Euro
pean war began, there was an In
crease to about 23,000,000 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
rfason to anticipate a material reduc
tion in these figures.
Great Offensive Needed.
"The winning of the war depends
Upon the development of great offen
t.vq strength on the part of the United
S'ates. 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
bound to vary with seasonal condi
tions. ' The only safe procedure for us ana
for the Allies is to provide enormous
reserve stocks of staple foods, both
here and in Europe, to meet any emer
grncy which may arise. In a later
period of the war, to have to stop in
a critical phase of It in order to put
unusual emphasis upon agricultural
production, might be fatal to our final
success.
'There must 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 shown by the American peo
ple, we must go ahead more than ever
convinced of our responsibility to
those who fight with us and to those
unfortunate peoples who look to us
an the one source of the food supply
necessary to keep them from destruc
tion. In France and England.
"The American Labor Mission just
home from London, was appointed by
President Wilson to make a study of
conditions in England and France. Of
its nineteen members, nine are from
the American ' Federation of Labor,
two of whom are women. The others
represent every social clement of the
American people. This mission made
a comprehensive study of conditions
In the Allied countries, and before ,
leaving London for America, issued
the following statement regarding
food conditions:
" 'Since landing in England, all mer
bers of the committee have visited A
number of cities and interviewed a
large number of people regarding the
ImA situation, at well as other nat
ters arising from the war, and we feel
it our duty to impress upon the Amer
ican people the fact that they should
endeavor to conserve food iu a larger
measure, that we may supply the peo
ple of the Allied countries with the
things necessary to their sustenance.
There Is no doubt that the people of
Great Britain and the Allied countries
are making untold sacrifices, more
than America realizes.'
Wheat and Meat Abroad.
"In 1914 France produced 82 per
cent of her normal consumption of
wheat. In 1917 her production was
ouly 45 per ceut. After deducting the
amount necessary for seed, it was es
timated that the 1917 production would
be but one-third of France's needs. It
must he remembered, too, that France
has always figured her needs on a
different basis than curs. Tho French
people have never wasted food, conse
quently France's normal consumption
has been practically identical with her
actual necessities. The ration of the
French soldiers has twice beeu cut,
and the soldier's ration is never low
ered until the danger at home from
food shortage is critical. Certain re
ports have been brought to this coun
try that there is plenty of meat in
France. These reports originated In
the fact that at one time it was neces
sary, because of the lack of feeds, to
slaughter large quantities of her dairy
cattle. The immediate result was a
temporary glut of meat, but the final
result is that today France is on a
meat ration of one pound a week, in
cluding horse flesh."

"Germanj's war of starvation Is a
challenge most of all to America,"
says a Food Administration. Bulletin.
"Against Germany's lust for dominion,
America's purpose is to establish the
society of rations. Against destruc
tion, America's aim is healing. Against
mastry, America's ideal is service.
"We cannot surpass the steadfast
ness of Britain, the courage of Italy,
the exaltation of France.
"We cannot excel the Allies in hero
ism, in endurance, in fortitude. Our
force in battle, though it may be de
cisive, will not be as great as theirs.
"We can hope to contribute most to
the common cause from our larger
resources. To relieve desperate pri
vation, America can supply food.
"Giving up wheat is a little thing
compared to their death struggle in
which our soldiers are splendidly
sharing.
"A little thing yet we can do it
with greatness of spirit. Supporting
our army and adding whole-hearted
service to humanity, it is In America's
power to defeat forever the passion of
conquest

is the test."
Give the Children Milk.
Milk Is one of the most important
food sources the human race pos
sesses. For the proper nourishment
of the child, it is absolutely Indispen
sable and its use should be kept up in
the diet as long as possible. Not only
does it contain all the essential food
elements in the most available form
for ready digestion, but the recent
scientific discoveries show It to be es
pecially rich in certain peculiar prop
erties that alone render growth possible.
It is not enough to take off your hat

those preparations, do something use
