In f)lte ot n subnormal food supply
in this country the American peoplo
bavo been nblo to ship to the Allies
as well ns our own forces overseas
141,000,000 bushels of wheat, besides
844,000,000 pounds of meat, during tho
year ending Juuo HO last. This has
been mado possible by tho whole
souled cooperation of tho people,
who, beBldos practicing self-denial,
havo speeded up production and re
sponded nobly td tho appeal from
abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, In a
letter to President Wilson, jjlves a
brief summary of tho results of food
conservation In tho United States and
of tho activities of tho Food Admin
istration to this end. Tho conserva
tion measures havo been put through
practically on a voluntary habit; which
Is regarded as a splendid tnbuto to
tho patriotism of tho American people.
Meat shipments wcro increased 814,
000,000 pounds during tho 11 rat fiscal
year, as compared with our meat ex
ports during the year beforo America
entered tho war.
"Tho total valuo of theso food ship
ments," Mr. Hoover wrote President
Wllfcon, "which were In tho main pur
chased through or with collaboration
of the Food Administration, amount
to, roundly, $1,400,000,000 during tho
fiscal year."
In 1010-17 tho United States Bent
tho Allies 2,100,500,000 pounds of
meat In 1017-18, with voluntary con
servation practiced in Amcrlcn, and
aided by extra weight of animals, wo
sent tho Allies 2,011,100,000 poundB of
meat, an Increaso of 814,000,000
pounds.
Wheat Saving Enormous.
When tho Food Administration be
gan operations in tho summer of 101.7,
this country was facing n largo deficit
in wheat Counting in all carry-over
wheat from tho 1010 crop, wo hod at
the beginning of tho 1017 harvest year
Just enough wheat to tnlto caro of
America's normal consumption, not a
bushel of surplus.
At tho closo of tho 1017-18 harvest
year tho Food Administration's official
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments to tho other sldo had been
141,000,000 bushels. Every bushel
shipped was wheat saved by the
Aniorlcan peoplo from their normal
consumption.
In cereals and cereal products re
ducod to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations were
1340,800,000 bushels, 80,000,000 bushels,
uioro than tho amount sent In 1010-17,
Included in theso figures are 13,000,.
000 bushels 'of ryo and tho 141,000,000
bushels of saved wheat In addition
wo sent tho neutrals dependent on ui
10,000,000 bushels of prlmo breadstuff
"Theso figures do not fully convey
tho volume of tho effort nnd sacrifice
mado during tho past year by tin
wholo Ameilcnn people," tho Food Adi
mlnlstrator wrote "I urn suro thai
all tho millions of our people, ugrlcul
tural as well as urban, who havo con
trlbutcd to theso results should feel
a very defialto satisfaction that In a
year of universal food shortages in
tho Northern Hemisphere, all of those

fully maintained, but with only tem
porary periods ot hardship.
"It Is difficult td distinguish be

trade, urban or agricultural popula
tions In assessing credit for thesu
results, but no ono will deny tho dom
inant part of tho American women.

STEP IN FOOD CONSERVATION
Minnesota Physician Has Discovered
Method of Condensing Buttermilk
and Retaining Nutritive Value.
In n roecnt interview with Dr. Wll
Ham Grclck of St. Paul, Minn., the
fact was brought out that Immense
quantities of buttermilk hnvc been
wasted. Doctor Grelck Is n menibei
of tho American Chemical society and
for years has devoted much study tc
tho milk problem. As a result of hit
efforts a method Iiiih been discovered
for condensing buttermilk Into n semi
solid smooth substance of tho consist
ency of Ico cream.
All tho nutritive valuo of the but
tcrmllk Is conserved In this product
nnd it is especially sullnblo for uso t
bread ninklng. From eight to tec
pounds of this mntcrlnl when added tc
n borrel of flour produce u loaf oj
greater food value. The milk protclr
helps to make up the deficiency in oui
present-day flour substitutes. Th(
vltamlnes of tho butterfnt help la do
lino tho Btructuro of tho bread, besldci
producing nn agreeable milk flavor)
und tho sugar of milk, aside from bo
lng of great food value, when com
blned with tho dextrin in flour make'
n lino brown crust at n compnrntivelj
low baking temperature. It saves
fuel nnd prevents unnecessary loss oJ
moisture.
