Increase Saving “The coming year we shall not! have these definite requests or in structions. We shall ask for an in qreaged saving of all kinds of staple | foods and the entire elimination of waste and excessive use of foods. | The need of conservation is just as great, even greater, as we must this year increase our exports of foods to our armies and the allies by more than 50 per cent “To convert this propaganda of | J saving of staple foods into the 17,550,000 tons of all kinds of ‘food needed for export, we shall need | ‘a greatly increased and more closely | knit food conservation organization | jm every county and every com munity of the state.
