. £ Iflusl Cut Use Of Wheat by (hie-Half America Consumed 42,000,000 BushelsMoiithly, From Now Until Harvest Must Use Only 21,000,000. -RATION^PER-PERSON-IS-44-POUNDS QF WHEAT PRODUCTS WEEKLY » r» t-, t . t Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here—Allied War * Bread Must Be Maintained—Our Soldier* and Sailors to Have Full Allowance. . •. If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor- Hon of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the • *next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce —*bur-monthly-consumption^ -to 21,000,000 bushels--a month-, «f --tagainst-ioTir normal-consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels, 'or 50 per cent, of'our 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 1% pounds of wheat products wee&ly per person. The Food •Administration's statement continues: Many of our consumers ^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 jn thg <ynHiimntmn_ r»f mimat. Tlproducfe' tfiin can the \poor. In addition, our population in jl &ie-.ajfricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun- i ?4dimf£lue , more skilled in the preparation of breads from these |y <other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations, fit-; With improved transportation conditions we now have avail- liable a surplus of potatoes. W e also have in the spring months isurplus of milk,and we have ample corn and pats for human ioniumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes, has £eady*gfeatly exhausted the supply of these grains. • ~~ > effect the needed saving of wheat | cent, of the average monthly amount purchased In the four months nrior to March L 5. Manufacturers using wheat prod ucts for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. i 6. There Is no limit upon the use d other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato Hour, el cetera. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat prod ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so In perfect health and satisfac tion. There ts uo-reasdn\ Why all of the American people who are able to cook In their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one- half pounds a week, and we specially ask- 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 those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a pro portion of substitutes. In order that we shall he able to make the wheat exports that are ab solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-opera Uon of the public by a further llmlta tlon of distribution, and we shall [flan at once restrictions on dlstrlbutitt which wtll be adjusted from time tc time to secure as nearly equitable dls- tribaUonas possible. With the arrival oS'harvesi we should be able to relax slich restrictions. Cntll then we ask far the necessary patience, sacrifice and co-operation of the distributing trades.

A general Idea of the quantity of food sent to European allied by the United States from July 1. 1914. to January L 1918. Is given by figures Just announced by the D S. Food Ad ministration. In that period the Unit ed States has furnished complete year ly rations for 67,100,933 people. In addition there was enough extra pro tein to Bupply this portion of the diet for 22.194.S70 additional men. The total export of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal allies Is equivalent to abont 384,000.000 bushels Pork exports for the 8V4 years amount ed to almost 2,000.000.000 pounds. R% ports of fresh beef touted 443.484.40U pounds. The amount of food exported to Rnssla ts negligible compared with that sent to the western allies.
