STAND WITH THE - ALLIES. By . Reducing Consumption People: of " the’ United States Averted a Famine at Home In Spite of Low Supplies. The fact that the people of the United States were able to reduce by more than one-half million tons thefr July, August, September and October consumption of sugar proves -conclu- 'sively that their war conscience was thoroughly awakened and that the country as a whole stood ready to fol- low the injunctions of the Government. Our normal consumption of sugar in the four-month period beginning with July has been 400,000 tons per month, a total of 1,600,000 for the quarter year. In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach its helght, consumption was reduced to 260,000 tons, -In Au- gust only 825,000 tons went into dfs- tribution and in September only 278, 000 tons. In October the distribution fell to 280,000 tons. 4 It the general public had falled, to observe the injunctions of the Food Administration this country would have been in the throes of a sugar famine before the end of August. Our visible supplies were so low as to bring greaf anxiety to those familiar with the sugar situation. They feared that it would be absolutely impossible to \ reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be a mere lux- ury in the American diet. Few accomp)ishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so pre- dominantly as this reduced. consump- tion of sugar. By it we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency until the new beet.and Louisiana cane sugar crops wcre in sight. Now the nation is In a position so that if we choose we may return to our normal home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go far afleld, can maintain its- recent re- stricted rations, . If, however, those nations -are to .increase thelr uge of sugar very considerably it must be by our continued sharing with them through llmiting our own consump- tion. 'OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY WAS LOST IN THRESHING ers, ;Q‘rned‘ by Food Adhiinistra- “tfoh, Provide Sevén Extra Loaves of Bread for Every American. By adopting cleaner threshing meth- ods apd-by literally combing harvest flelds to gather grain formerly wast- ed, threshermen and farmers of the United States this year saved fully 16,000,000 bushels of wheat, estimated as equivalent to about seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person In the country. This result, accompanied by corresponding savings of barley, oats, rye and other grains, Is shown by reports from 33 grain states to the U 8, Food Adminlstration. Other states, although not prepared to furnish def} nite figures -of -conservation In. the grain flelds, report greatly reduced barvest losses. This rural food saving achlevement, accomplished In scarcely six months’ time, was In direct response to re- quests by the Food Administration, which asked farmers and threshermen to reduce harvest losses from gbout 8% per cent—the estimated average in normal times—to, the lowest possl- -ble minimum. Country grain thresh- Ing committees carried Into every grain growing community the officlal ‘récommendations for accomplishing _the results desired. .-In numerous instances drivers of racks with leaky bottoms were sent from the flelds to repair thelr equip- ment and frequently bad order thresh- ing machines were stopped until the cause of waste was removed. But in proportion to the number of persons engaged in gathering the nation’s grain crop, cases of compulsion were com- paratively rare. The Food Adminis- tration freely attributes the success of the grain threshing campaign to pa- triotic service by farmers, thresher- men and thelr crews. Incidentally graln growers of the United States are many millions -of dollars “In pocket” a8 a result of the grain saved. SPPIPEECE S FFFI b2 L ] B * @ FIRST CALL TO FOOD ARMY.
