A sufficient and ‘regular supply of’ food for the muintenance of ‘the great field armies of our fighting allies and of their no less great armies of working ‘nen ‘and working women in the war industries, and finally for the maintenance of the women and chil- dren in the home, is an absolyte ne- cessity, second to no other, for the successful prosecution of the war for. Mberty, In the providing of this food for the great allied food pool, the Unit- ed States plays a predominant part. With the presént diversion of tens af millions. of men from the farms into the fighting and industrial armies, re- sulting in.a marked lessening of food Production, and the present necessity of increasing the daily ration of other millions of men turned from sedentary occupations into those of strenuous physical labor, resulting in a marked inérease of consumption, this deficiency between the food needs and the food production of the allies becomes great- er than ever, with, the consequence of a large inctease in' the food quantities imperatively needed from the United States if the allied armies are to be able to “carry on.” Woerld’s Larder Examined. This is a general statement of a con- dition which only needs to be elabor- ated in detail to show just what we have to do. The time has come when this detailed statement can be made. Our harvest and the harvests of Ku- rope can. now be forecast. We can also survey our combined stocks of food animals; in other/words, the size of that part of .the, warld’s. larder on which we'and the allies-ean draw for the next twelve months-can now be es- timated. “'This estimate shows at énce that it contains’too little for our own and our allies use unless’ we all ad- minister the supply with the greatest. care and wisdom. The allied peoples are energetically undertaking this ad- ministration, It lies now with us to do our part. If we fail, the people of the allies cannot be maintained at war. Their soldiers cannot fight without food. A certain definitely determina- ble part of that food’ niust come from us. Let us then examine carefully the world’s larder as it appears today, or so much of it as is at our disposal, I propose'.to review the situation first, as regards the cereals, Second, as Fegards food animals and their prod- ucts, third, as regards sugar, fourth, as.regards vegetables, fifth, as regards fish and sea foods, and, finally, as re- gards our duty in the matter. Cereals. The 1917 harvest. is now so far ad: vanced. that we may compare it with previous production, and with the de- mands which are going to be made on it. ‘ Table ‘No. 1.18: given to show the normal peace sources of the annudt supplies: of: France, ‘Italy, the. United Kingdom ‘and Belgium, being an aver- age of the three-year: pre-war period. It will be seen from this table that the: normal imports of wheat are 381,- -000,000 ‘bushels and of other cereals 345,000,000 ‘bushels. The, estimate of the 1917 harvest in, the allied countries based upon crep-reports from these countries,.is as-follows: 4 Probable Avy. nor- _ Deficiency Com. +1917 pro- mal pro- in prod’n. modity. duction. . duction. due to war.

The prospective position of our own and the Canadian harvest ts given in table No. 2. Our crops, especially our corn crop, cannot yet be considered as certain, but if all mature safely, North Amer- fea will have an apparent surplus of wheat of 208,000,000 busliels and of other “cereals of about - 950,000,000 bushels.

The Russian supply cannot be got out. Bulgarian and Roumanian supplies are in ‘the hands of the central empires.

In’ Belgiuni, the relief commis- ston has been compelled to reduce the consumption of* cereals by nearly 50. per cent; this brings the food supply so low that the population are in- capable of labor. From the above tables it will be seen that on normal bases of consump- tion the total allied wheat import re- quirements are 577,000,000 bushels against a North American surplus. of 208,000,000 bushels—and ‘from our United States supplies we must re- serve a certain: amount for neutrals from which we receive vital supplies and also an amount to’ protect our stocks better next year than this last. There !s therefore on normal con~ ‘sumption a deficit of over 400,000,000 bushels. In thé other cereals used in Europe mostly for animal feed, the import necessities of the ‘allies on nor- mal consumption basis are“about 674,- 000,000 ‘against a North American sur- plus of 950,000,000. But again a re- serve for neutrals and increased “car- ry over” will absorb all the margin. In any event it means we must multi- ply our exports of these ‘cereals 20 times. However, upon the basis of our present” crop prospects we should be able to supply their requirements in cereals other’ than wheat. Wheat Situation Difficult. The situation in’ wheat 1s one of great difficulty and coneém, and must be met by an elimination of waste and reduction of consumption’ on the part of the allied’ peoples and. ourselves, in one word, by an‘effective administra- tion of the available supply. + The ‘allies are unable to use other cereals ‘alone’ for ‘bread.’ They can use them only as added to wheat flour to make the war ‘bread ‘naw in ‘uni- versal use in European countries. Ex- cept in Italy, whose ‘people normally consume much corn, our allles have few corn mills andcornmeal is-not a durable commodity and therefore can- not be shipped in great quantities. “Moreover, for generations they have bought bread from the bakeries; they have no equipment nor do they"know how to bake in the household. Every American, knows that it is infeasible to distribute corn bread from bakeries, and ‘it is therefore necessary. for us to furnish our allies with sufficient wheat to enable them to have a wheat basis for the loaf. “However, they can use and must’ use other cereals for mixture in thelr war bread, and by this substitution and by” savings on their part a great deal can be accom- plished, On the other hand, a deficit of 400,000,000 bushels can be at least partially overcome if we can increase our exports from 88,000,000 to 220,- 000, or nearly triple. “This can be accomplished if we will Substitute one pound of other cereals for one pound of wheat flour weekly per person; that is, if we reduce our consumption of wheat flour from five pounds per week to four pounds per week per person. It will be no privation to us and will reduce the privation of our allies, Food Animals. Owing to the ascending standard of living, the world was already strained to supply enough animal products to meet the demand before the ‘war be- gan. ‘The war has injected into an al- ready difficult situation a number of vicious conditions which are jeopardiz- ing the ultimate tinimal products sup- ply of the world. “The production of fodder in Europe has been diminished by the diversion: of productive labor to war, and its import has been curtailed by shortage in shipping and by the isolation of markets hy belligerent lines. From these‘causes not only are the actual numbers of animals de- creasing in Europe, but the average weight and the annual output of dairy products per animal, are decreasing. A careful estimate of the world’s food animal position shows the follow- ing position: Decrease Increase or In other decrease ‘Decrease countries United western including Total net States. allies enemies decrease Cattle 7,000,000 0,000 26,760,000 28,080,000 Sheep . 3,000,060 ,000 34,000,000. 54,500,000 Hogs 6,275,000 7,100,000 31,600,000 22,425,000 : 33,020,000 ' 92,250,000 115,005,000 The problem’ facing the American people is not enly one of supplying the immediate demand of the allies, but one which’ is more far-reaching in its future significance. As the war goes on there will be a constant lessening of the capital stcck of food animals of the world. Among our western ‘al- lies the demand outruns further every day the decreasing production, as ship- Ping becomes further shortened by con- tiaued submarine destruction, less ton- nage cah be devoted to fodder, and fur- ther reduction of the herds must en- sie. These “destructive forces have given rise to reactions in many direc- tions. The world's supply of meat and dairy products, of animal fats and in- dustrial. fats, woul and hides, are all involved not only now, but for far into the future: a Meats. The immediate problem ‘fs, to tub nish increased meat supplies ‘to the al- Hes to maintain them during the war. An important factor contributing to the present situation Hes in the disturb- ance to the world’s trade by destruc- tion of shipping resulting in throwing | inrgey Daye ow 7 | which dairy, products have had a rise 4,607.410,000. 917,200,000. nearest market. Shipments from the Australasian, South American and, ‘from the continental countries into the alljed countries haye been interfered with. Their contributions must be fe- Pjaced .by increased shipments from North America, "The growth of American meat ex- ports since the war began, most of | avhich have been supplied by allied ga- tions, is revealed by the following fig- ures: 'Whree-year pre-war average, 493,-, 848,000 pounds. Year ending June -30, to10, 1,339,- 193,000 pounds. The Imptct of European demand apon our ‘animal products will be maintained for a long period of years after peace. ‘We ‘can contemplate a high range of prices, for meat and for, animal products for many years to come. We must undertake to meet the demand not only during the war, so as to enable our allies to continue to fight, but we must be prepared to meet the demand after the war, Our herd can- not be Increased in.a single night or in'a single year. ‘Our producers will not ‘diily. be working in their own ul- timate interest In laying the founda- tion” of ‘larger herds and flocks, but will serve our national Interest and the* interest of humanity, for years to come,, if the best strAins of young animals are preserved. The increase in herds eqn only be accomplished if we save more of our roughage and raise more fodder grains. It is worth noting that after the war Europe with lessened herds will, pending their recuperation, require legs fodder and will therefore produce “more brend grains and im- port less of them, so that we can after the war safely reduce our bread grain production to increase our fodder, But we must lay our foundation in, the méantime to increase our herds. There is only one immediate solution to the short supply of meat for ex- port pending the increase in our her and flocks which will take years.’ Dur- ing the course of the war, we can, just as with the cereals, reduce the '‘con- |: sumption and eliminate the waste’ par- ticularly among those classes which can best afford ft. In the meantime, in order to protect all of our people,’ we must carefully control our meat ex- ports In order that the people shall not be denied this prime necessity of life. Dairy Products. The world’s dairy supplies are de- creasing rapidly for two important rea- sons. First, the dairy cattlé of Eu- rope are diminishing, for Europe is be- ing driven to eat its cattle for meat; second, the diversion of labor to war has decreased the fodder supplies. and the shortage of shipping has limited the ‘amount of imported fodder and therefore the cattle which can be sup- ported and the productivity of the Indi: vidual cow have been reduced. Even our own dairy supplies are not keeping pace with our growth of population, for our‘ per capita milk supply has fallen.|' from 90 to 75 gallons annually in the past 15 years. Yet today we must ship increasing amounts of dairy preducts to our allies. The dairy supplies of the allles in normal times came to a considerable degree from western Scandinavia, Hol- land and Switzerland, but under’ Ger- man pressure these’ supplies are now partly diverted to Germany. The men under arms and the wounded must be supplied with condensed milk in large qtantities. The net result of these conditions, despite rigorous redudtion of consumption among the adults of the civil population in Europe, is that our allies are still short of large quantitles and again the burden of the replace- ment of this shortage must fall on North America. The growing exports of dairy products, from the United States to the allies are shown in the following table: a Three year —- Yearyending Tune 20,1913. 13,487,000 Ibs, 4,394,000 Ibs, 159,577,000 Ibs. Butter Cheese Cond. mille..1.17,792,000 Ibs. The high price of fodder and meat in the United States during the past few months induced by the pressing Euro pean demand has set up dangerous cur- rents in this country, especially in those regions: dependent upon butter and the sale of milk to municipalities having made it nore profitable to sell the cattle for meat than to keep them and produce. dairy products, There- fore; the dairy cattle are decreasing in some sections, The only sections In {n price in appropriate proportion to the,increase in most of feeds are those producing condensed milk and cheese. Our home-milk and butter supplies are therefore looked at in a broad way, decreasing while our population is in- creasing. This deficiency of dairy but- ter Is shown by the increased sales of margarine, which show an increase of several million pounds per month over similar periods in'1915. Dairy butter, however, has’ qualities which render it vitally necessary for: children. Milk has no substitute and is not only in- trinsically one of our cheapest animal foods, but is.absolutely fundamental to the rearing of the children. The dairy situation resolves itself into several phases. First, it is to.be hoped that the forthcoming abundant harvest together with a proper restric- tion upon exports of feeding stuffs.will result in lower prices of feed and di- minish the impetus to sell the cattle for meat. Second, the industry: needs encouragement go_as_to increase the | gent ee pl thas. ditry Sapa) for the sake first of our own people. and second of, ‘the allfes. The people must realize the vital dependence: 9 the Well- -being of their children, and thus of the hation, upon the encourage- | ment and upbuilfling of the industry. Third, we must: save the wastes In milk. and butter during the war if we are to provide milk supplies'to all. We waste large quantities of our milk value from our lack of national demand for prod- ucts of skimmed and sour milk, Pork Products. The hog is the: most eflicient of ma- chines for the praduction of animal fat. The hog not only makes more fat from a given amount’ of. feed, but also the products made are’ “Bpecially capable of preservation ani most economical for commercial ‘handling. The swing-of Europe arc rapidly de- creasing and the consumption demand induced by the war is much increased, this. particularly ‘beeaus.- and lard are so adaptuble for milita supplies. Mareoyer, our allies are iso: lated from many. markets and-a large amount from northern neutrals is being diverted: to. Germany. While our ‘hogs’ have increased ‘in number by 8,000,000 animals, the aver- age weight at slug hter is falling and our production is prabably only about maintained. © The Increasing, demand upon us since the war began fs shown by the following. figures of comparative exports: Three-year, pre-war period, 614,000 pounds. Year ending June 80, 1916, 1,512,- 876,000 pounds, Wool, and Leather. Our national supply of both wool and leather are less. than our needs, and we are importing them more and more largely, as shown by the follow- ing figures: Importations of wool and manufac- tures of wool (value) for the three- year pre-war perlod, 862,457,965; for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, $158,078,271. Importations (value) of hides, leath- er, and manufactures of leather aver- age of the three-year pre-war period, $183,171,398; for the year ending June 80, 1916, $177,880,902, At the present ‘time the world’s de- mand for these products has increased far above the peace level owing to the eXtra consumption in supplying the armies, This demand is now again in- creased by the’ mobilization of a large American army. In the face of this, not only is the European herd decregs- ing, but also American sheep have de- creased about 3,000,000 since the war began, After the war is over, the va- rious countries of the world from which we formerly drew our wool are likely to retain it for their own use until their flocks become normal.
