ARGENTINE ARRIVALS 'SHORT.

Meat Supply Here Considerably En:
larged — Food Administration,
. <o However, Warns Against
oY 9 Waste.
The aliles have made further and
Increased ‘démands for breadstuffs,
these enlarged demands being caused
to some degree by shortage,\m;g!rivals
from the Argentine. It s, thergfore,
necessary for the U. S. Food Adminis
tration to urge a still furmer,rqdubtion
in the consumption of bread and bread
stulfs generally if we are to meet our
export necessities, The Food ‘Admin
istration has .issued a statemeft ex:
plaining the situation in detall, partic
ularly the reasons which lead it, for
the purpose of centering effort for the
time being upon the cereal situation
to relax temporarily the restrictions on
meat ‘consumption. :
Experience shows, this statement
says, that the consumption of bread
stuffs Is Intimately associated with the
consumption: “of ‘meat. ' For various
reasons our supplies of meat for the
next two or three months are consid
erably enlarged, and we can supply the
allies with all of the meat products
which transportation facilities render
possible and at the same -time some
what increase our own consumption.
In these circumstances the Food Ad
ministration considers it wise to relax
the voluntary restrictions on meat con
sumption to some extent with a view
to further decreasing bread consump
tion.
Conservation of food must be ad
justed to meet necessities from time to
time, for neither production, nor al
lied demands are constant factors, nor
ean any of these factors be anticlpated
for long periods in advance in the dis
turbed conditions in which we at pres
ent live. While the world situation is
not one that warrants any relaxation
in the efforts to eliminate waste or to
relax economy in food, the Adminis;
tration desires to secure better adjust
ment in food balances.
So long as the present conditions
continue ‘the only special restrictions
we ask are the beefless and porkless
Tuesday.
The ‘meatless ‘meal and the porkless
Saturday are no longer asked.
The farmers of the United States
are responding to the national call to
increase hog production, Their In
crease, to all appearances, is being at
tained more rapidly. Of more imme
diate importance, however, are several
complex factors which have effected
an immediate increase in meat sup
plies.
The transportation shortage before |
the government took over the rall
roads, the bad weather in January and
enrl_vylu [February, the large percent
age of immature corn in the last har
vest and the necessity of feeding this
¢orn as rapidly as possible to save it
from decay, have not only resulted in
packing up the animals—particularly
hogs—on the farms for a longer pe
riod of feeding, but have resulted in a
great increase in their average weight
and will result, with improved trans:
portation conditions, which already ap
pear, in larger than normal arrivals at
market for the next two or three
months., The weight of hogs coming
to the market for: the past two weeks
indicates an increase. in weight ot
“from an average of 203 pounds last
‘year to the: almost unprecedented
-average of 232 pounds, or a npet in
- crease in their meat value of over 15|
“per ¢ent. This is a distinet addition|
"10 the nation’s meat supply. It there- |
- fore now seéms certain that we have‘
- such enlarged “supplies for at least
- some months to come, that we can not
-only increase our exports.to the allies
“to the full extent of their transporta
“tion facilities, but at. the same time
can properly increase our domestic |
consumption,
~ The response of the public to our re-!
quests for reduced consumption otl
meat during the past few months has‘
been most grafifying, and this service
alone has enabled the gdvernment dur- |
ing this period to provide such sup-‘
plies as trapsportation to the allies
permitted. ‘ {
The Administration also suggests
that In those parts of the country
- where the ald’ fashioned home preser
“~vation of pork is still the custom, this
“ practice should be extended at the
“‘present time, as it will relieve the bur
" den upon transportation to and trom
?"flm packing houses and is economical
“ 3y sound as'saving the cost of packing
. ?nperufinns and at the same time will
~ provide home supplies of pork to last
~ pver the months of deereased supplies’
! The Food Administration desires to

U.S. Must Cut Use
America Consumed 42,000,000 Bushels Monthly.
From Now Until Harvest Must Use

RATION PER PERSON IS 1} POUNDS
OF WHEAT PRODUCTS WEEKLY
Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here—-—. Allied War
Bread Must Be Maintained—Our Soldiers and
Sailors to Have Full Allowance.
If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor
tion of 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 21,000,000 bushels a month, as
against our 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 a@proximately
114 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 cereals are abun
dant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads 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 corn and oats for human
consumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes, has
already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains.
To effect the needed saving of wheat
we 4are wholly dependent upon the
volantary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
a total of 1% pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than 13 pounds of
¥Yictory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Publie eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless 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 breadstuffs, ~macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a. total
of mere than two ounces of wheat
flour. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. FPublic eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con
forming with the limitatious requested
‘of ‘thé householders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of 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
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding preportions
in other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their
wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per
ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS £
REACH LARGE TOTAL.
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 'Ad
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,100,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for 22,194,570 additional men.
The total expeort of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 384,000,000 bushels.
Pork exports for the 3% yvears amount
ed to almost 2,000.060,000 pounds. Ex
ports of fresh beef totaled 443,484,400
pounds. The amount &f food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

March 1. ;
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, flours, and 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, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac
tion. There:is no reason 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 ¢f the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large a pro
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be 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
tion 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 fo
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as posgible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, -sacrifice
‘and co-operation of the distributing
trades. f ‘
It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso
lared im India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to “se
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1, Australia bad
stored 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex
port—but there were no ships.
Then came the new. .crop with
an exportable surplus of 80,000,
000 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 180,000,000 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
70,000,000 bushels of wheat
stored fof export. During April
50,000,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
: Argemi'na closed the last ship
ping season with 11,000,000
bushels of wheat left: in the
stock available for export. The
new €rop will add 135,000,000 to
the left over. . e
It is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world—it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid

Explain New Wheat "Ruling t
Thousands of Customers—|p.
sures Greater Food Saving,
Grocers of the natfon have accepteq
enthuslastiicall‘y tlfe 59-50 basis for the
purchase of wheat flour and are doing
their utmost to explain the new regu
lation to the housewife, This ruling by
the U. S. Food Administration requires
each -purchaser of wheat flour to buy
one pound of cereal substitute, one
kind or assorted, for every pound of
wheat flour. It was necessary to ro.
strict the use:.of wheat flour in order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured of an ade.
quate supply of wheat to meet thejr
vital needs. This supply must come
from our savihgs-'because we have gl.
ready sent our normal surplus,
Wheat saving pledge cards were for.
warded by the Food Administration to
all retail -food merchants, and these
are heing signed and. posted in stores
throughout fthe couatry. = This card
states, “We pledge ourselves loyally to
carry out the Food Administration pro
gram. In accordance with this order
we will'not sell'any wheat flour except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight of one or more of the following,
a greater use of which in the ‘home
will save wheat: : ;
“Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn
starch, hofixiny_. corn grits, barley flour,
potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy
bean flour, feterita flour and meals,
rice, rice flour, vbatmeal, rolled oats and
buckwheat flour.” ;
Some confusion has resulted on the
part of the consumer in construing
this *“5O-50" ruling to ‘mean that an
equal amount in value of substitutes
must be purchaséd with wheat flour,
This is-a mistaken idea. ‘The ruling
states that the ¢onsumer in purchasing
flour shall “buy at the same time an
equal weight of other cereals.” .
One exception to this ruling is con
cerning graham flour and whole wheat
flour, which may be sold at the ratio
of three pounds to five pounds of
wheat flour. This provision is made
because approximately 25 per cent.
more of the wheat berry is used in the
manufacture of these flours than stand
ard wheat flour.
,Another exception is that concern:
ing-mixed -flours eontaining less than
50 per cent, of wheat flour, which may
be sold witheut substitutes, Retallers,
however, are forbidden to sell mixed
tlours containing more than 50 per
eent. of wheat flour to any person.un
less the amount of wheat flour substi
tutes sold is sufficient to make the to
tal amount -of substitutes, including
those mixed -in flours, equal to the to
tal amount in wheat flour in the mixed
flour. For'instance, if any mixed flour
is purchased containing 60 per cent
wheat flour and 40 per cent substi
