In the meantime America’s meat supply has been greatly increased for some months to come by the unprecedented shipping to market of hogs that averaged 232 pounds each In stead of 203 pounds—the nor mal. The United States Food Ad ministration, endeavoring to ad just the international food bal ance, promptly removed certain restrictions In this country on the use of meat and at the same time asked for a smaller con sumption of hreadstuffs. We are asked to observe only one meatless day egch week— Tuesday. We will have larger meat stocks for awhile. But our bread ration must be held to a minimum. In altering its food conserva tion program the Food Admin istration emphasizes that the food situation is of necessity, subject to radical changes, caused by crop conditions at home and abroad and by the precurious transportation prob lem, both in overseas shipping and in America’s overburdened transportation system. The Food Administration will keep the American people fully and frankly advised of each change in the developing situa tion that they may know defi nitely the part their food sac rifices play in the world war.
