SAVE 16,000,000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY WAS LOST IN THRESHING Farmers, Urged by Food Administra- tion, Provide Seven Extra Loaves of Bread for Every American. By adopting cleaner threshing meth. oas and by literally combing harvest fields to gather grain formerly wast- ed, thresliermen and farmers of the United States this year saved fully 16.000,000 bushels of ,wheat, estimated us equivalent to aboueseven one -pound loaves of bread for every person in the country. This result, accompanied Icy corresponding savings of barley, oats, rye and other.gralnt, Is shown by reports from 33 grain states to the U. s. Food Administration. Other states, although not prepared to furnish defi- nite figures of conservation in the grain fields, report greatly reduced harvest losses. This rural food saving achievement, accomplished in scarcely Rix tnontits' time, wits in (tweet response to re- quests by the Food Administration, which asked farmers and threshertnen to reduce harvest losses from about 314 per cent. —the estimated average in 1101111R/ tunes—to the lowest possi- ble minimum. Country grain thresh- ing cormnittees carried into every ' grain growing commtmity the official when recommendations for accomplishing the results desired. In numerous instances drivers of racks with leaky bottoms were sent from the fields to repair their equip- ment and frequently bad order thresh- ing machlnee were stopped until 'the cense of waste was removed. But proportion to the number of persons engaged In gathering Oke.nation's grain crop, eases of compulsion were com- paratively rare. The Food AdmInie- tration freely attributes the snFcess of the grain threshing campaign to pa -I Uittic service by farmers, thresher. flea -and their crews. Incidentally Main growers of the United States are many millions of dollars \In pocket\ as a result Of the grain saved. NO ONE SUFFERED HERE The marvel of our voluntary food - saving, now that we are \getting re- sults,\ is that no one ever actualLY suffered any hardship from it; that we nil are better in healtn and spirit and better satisfied with ourselves be- cause of our friendly self-denial. Food control In America held the price of breadstuffs steady, prevented vicious speculation and extortion and preserved tranquillity at home. In no other nation is there so willing a sense of voluntary self-sacrifice as Iii Atnerica—that was shown in the abstinence from wheat. Find more wheat, it came; more pork, it crane; save sugar, it was done. So Americans answered the challenge of German starvation. Good will rules the new world as fear governed the old world. Through sharing food America helps make the whole world kin. Food control made sufficiency from shortage, kept the rein on food prices. gave the nation's full stiength exer- cise. Starvation by Germany challenged II Ihe world; food conservation in .answered . the challenge. Food conservation In America has been the triumph of individual devo- tion to the national cause. _ HEN in need of Printing see what we can _ rn do before you go elsewhere.
