Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here— Allied War
Bread Must Be Maintained — Our Soldiers and '
Sailors to Have Full Allowance
i If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor-
tion wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the
next harvest and this’is a military necessity we must reduce
our monthly consumption to 21000000 bushels a month as
against our normal' consumption of about 42000000 bushels
or 50 per cent of bur 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
(V2 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
- navy require a full allowance The well-to-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat
products than can the poor In addition our population in
-the agricultural districts where the other ecxeals are abun-
dant are more skilled in the preparation of brands from these
other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations
‘ With improved transportation conditions we now have avail-
able a surplus of potatoes We also have in the spring months
: a surplus of milk and we have ample com and oats for human
consumption The drain on rye and barley as substitutes has
already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains
We also Have a nice line of other

Goods that we would be pleased to
to show you Our stock of Bulk
Garden Seeds is almost complete
even though we have had a good t
season for seeds t

To effect the needed saving of wheat
i we are wholly dependent upon the
- voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
ruics shall be observed : 1 4
1 Householders to use not to exceed
a total of li pounds per week of
wheat' products per person This
means not more than 1 pounds of
iictory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking flour macaroni
crackers pastry pies cakes wheat
breakfast cerepls all combined
2 'Public eating places and clubs tb
'ftbserve two wheatleBS days per week
Monday and Wednesday as at present
In addition thereto not to serve to
any -one guest at any one meal an
-Aggregate of breadstuff s macaroni
crackers pastry pies cakes wheat
breakfast cereals containing a total
of more than two ounces of wheat
flour No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered Public eat-
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served thus con-
forming wi the limitations requested
of the householders -S
Retailers to sell not more than
ono-elglith' of a barrel of flour to any
totp customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter cf a barrel
to any country customer at any one
time and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight of other cereals
4 We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold by delivery of the three-quarter
poqnd loaf where one pound was sold
before! and corresponding proportions
in other weights We also ask bakers
not to Increase the amount of their
wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per
cent of the averag monthly amount
purchased la the four months prior to
March L
' 5' Manufacturers using wheat prod-
acts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely 1
6 There Is no limit upon the use of
other cereals flours snd meals corn
barley buckwheat potato flour et
cetera
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod-
ucts whatever except a very small
amount for cooking purposes 4nd are
doing so In perfect health and satisfac-
tion There is no reason why all ot
the American people who aro able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one-
half pounda a week and we specially
qsk the well-to-do households In the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
is aUe
a pro-
portion of substitute
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are ab-
solutely demanded ot us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-operation
of the public by a further limita-
tion of distribution and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis-
tribution as possible With the arrival
of harvest we sheuld be able to relas
such restrictions Until then we ask
for the necessary patience sacrifice
and co-operation of the distributing
trades

It’s the shortage In ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
Criitid States on wheat rations
Great stocks of wheat are Iso-
lated in India and Australia At
great Sacrifice In ship space and-
'iise (he Allies are forced to se-
cure some wheat from Argentina
On January L Australia bad
stored 1 100000000 ' bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port — but there were no ships
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of 80000-
000 bushels- Now Australia has
approximately 180000000 bush-
els waiting for ships
India at the same time had
70000000 bushels of wheat
stored for export Daring April
00000000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 11000000
lus' els of wheat left In the
stock available for export The
new' crop will add 135000000 to
the left over
It Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world— It Is entirely a problem
of shipping which lias thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock wUk the Allies
allied food" shipments "" "
REACH LARGE TOTAL
' m
A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1 1914 to
January 1 1918 Is given by figures
just announced by the U S Food Administration--
In that period the Unit
-ed States has furnished complete year-
ly rations for 57100033 people In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for 22194570 additional men
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies - it
equivalent to about 3840d0000 bushels
Pork exports for the 3 years amount-
ed to almost 2000000000 pounds- Ex
ports of fresh beef totaled 4434S4400
pounds The amount of food exported
to Russia Is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies
