“You Must Send 75,000,000
Bushels More to Help Us,’
Says Rhonnda.
No word from Burope on war con
ditlons has so completely placed the
burden of responsibility for winning
or losing the war upon the United
States as that from J.ord Rhonnda,
food controller of Great Britain. in a
eable to Herbert Hoover, United
States food administrator, which Mr.
Hoover sent yesterday to Dr. A. M.
Soule, food administrator for Geor
sta. The Rhonnda cable is as fol
lowst
“Unless you are able to send the Al
Hes at least 75,000,000 bughels of wheat
over and above what you have export
od up to January 1, and in addition to
the total exportable surplus from Can
ada, I can not take the responsibility
of assuring our people there will be
enough food to win the war.
“Imperative necessity compels me
to cable you in this plain way.
“No one knows better than T that
the American reople, regardless of
national and individual sacrifices, have
8o far refused nothing that is needed
for the war, but it now lies with
America to decide whether or not the
Allles in PBurope shall have enough
bread to hold out until the United
States is able to throw its forces into
the fleld,
“I have not minded words, because 1
am convinced that the American peo-
El:‘. if they know the truth, will not
state to meet the emergency.”
Tt is Just this gnsnlble condition
which the United States food admin
istration has been trying to guard
.against for months. It is far and
away the plainest talk on the war
conditions In Burope, and the relative
importance of food supplies from this
country that has come to the people
of the country, and Federal Food Ad
ministrator Soule, believing the prop
er method 1s to take the public of hig
Btate fully into his oonfidence on the
subject, has released for publieation
the Rhonnda cablegram just as it was
received by him,
Mr. Hoover's reply to Lord Rhonn
dn, a copy of which has been ment to
Dr. Bouls, and which t?o American
people as a whole, Geordia people in
particular, will back to the limit of
their ability and capacity, beyond any
possibility of doubt, is as follows:
“We will export every pound of
grain that the American people save
from thelr normal consumption, We
belleva our people will nos fail to meet
the emergency.”
Mr. Hoover points out further that
America must find 15,000,000 addition
‘al bushels for Belgian relief and 10,-
000,000 bushels for Cuba argl neutral
countries, making a total of 100,000,-
000 bushels of wheat needed for other
than use at homae.
Grocery Firm Sorry
Alverson Bros., grocers at No. 83
South Forsyth street, yesterday were
cited by the Federal food adminis
tration here as the first merchants
to violate Government price regula
tions. 4
The case was dropped when J. H,
Bwing, food administrator for Fulton
County, recelved a letter in which the
defendant store afmed to llve up to
the laws in the future. The letter,
p\llbdhlhed at the request of Mr. Hwing,
sald:
“We are sorry to admit that we
have been selling some food da
uots in excess of the prices l.z::ed
by you and the merchants' com
mittee as giving a reasonable
. profit to us above cost. We here
by agree, in the future, to strictly
observe the prices so agfeed upon
and published by you as reason
able, for we think best to do this
rather than suffer the just penalty
of having our place closed by the
food administration. We have not,
heretofore, fully realized the ex
tent of the authority of the food
administration In such matters.
We further agree to observe all
rules s&nd regulations of the ad
ministration.

J. H. Bwing, county food adminis
trator, yesterday called to the atten
tion of the people Government regu-
Jated prices on foodstuffs as quoted
in ng daily papers,
The people, by reading the papers,
can keep up with all the prices and
will know whether the merchant is
fleecing them. Practically all Atlanta
merchants have a,freed to abide by
the regulations. All violations are to
be reported to Mr. Bwing.

Are You Feeding Horses or
Sparrows?
Do you know why the sparrows are hovering around this team?
They are waiting for a nice meal at your expense.
The horses are eating whole
g:lnnndllkommymonthque
ting their meal. Th:l{ spill some
on the ground and swallow nearly a
third of the graln whole without
chewing it.
The fibrous hulls cannot be
broken ? in the stomach of the
horse. Your expensive grain goes
through the intestines undigested
and is eaten by the birds. Prove this
by examining the manure.
Stop this waste by feeding a
sweet, crushed-grain balanced ration.
You will get better results with 12 to
14 J)oun s of sweet, crushed-grain
feed than you now obtain with 16 to
20 pounds of whole grain.
