Meat Supply Here Considerably En
larged — Food Administration,
However, Warns Against
Waste.
The nllics have made further and
increased demands for breadstuffs,
these enlarged demands being caused
to some degree by shortage in arrivals
from the Argentine. It is, therefore,
necessary for the U. S. Food Adminis
tration to urge a still further reduction
in i lie consumption of bread and bread
stuffs generally if we tire to meet our
export necessities. The Food Admin
istration lias issued a statement ex
plaining tlie situation in detail, partic
ularly the reasons which lead it, for
(tie purpose of centering effort for the
time being upon the cereal situation
to relax temporarily tlie 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 tlie
next two or three months are consid
erably enlarged, and we can supply the
allies with all of tlie meat products
which transportation facilities render
possible and at the same time some
what increase our own consumption.
In those circumstances tlie 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.

time, for neither production, nor al
lied demands are constant factors, nor
ran any of these factors be anticipated
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 tlie 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 beetless and porkless
Tuesday.
The meatless meal and tlie 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 rail
roads, the bad weather in January and
early in February, the large percent
age of immature corn in the last har
vest and the necessity of feeding this
corn as rapidly as possible to save it
from decay, have not only resulted in
backing 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 of
from an average of 203 pounds last
year to the almost unprecedented
average of 282 pounds, or a net in
crease in their meat value of over 15
per cent. This is a distinct addition
to the nation’s meat supply. It there

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, hut at the same time
can properly increase our domestic
consumption.
The response of the public to ottr re
quests for reduced consumption of
meat during the past few months has
been most gratifying, and this service
alone has enabled the government dur
ing this period to provide such sup
plies as transportation to the allies
permitted.
The Administration also suggests
that in those parts of the country
where the old 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 from
the peeking houses and is economical
ly sound as saving the cost of packing
operations and at the same time will
provide home supplies of pork to last
over the months of decreased supplies.
The Food Administration desires to
repeat that it does not want to give
the impression that these are times
when simplicity and moderation of liv
ing are not critically necessary, but
that its sole desire is to secure an ad
justment between our different food 1
supplies and meet changing conditions 1

Rousey sang his song, “We’ll Get the

township did their work thoroughly
as is evidenced by the amounts turned
in as a total. The entire subscription
for Glass township is $32,400, with
possibly a few minor subscriptons
yet to come. The amount subscribed
is equal to the entire subscriptions of
the First and Second Loan and the
