S. Food Adminis: trator for Pennsylvania. They will continue in force until further notice. Mr. Heinz makes clear the reason for ment: J “The. rapidly decreasing supply of beef in France, coupled with the de- mands of our constantly growing ar- my in Europe and those of our Allies for beef, causes increased drains on the available supply. If we are going to do our duty by our boys in arms and our Allies, we must conserve the beef here at home, in order that they may have sufficient food. This can be done and will be done; and it will entail no serious hardship on. our peo- ple. 'Thére is. a plentifdl supply, pork and a reasonable quantity other meat is used. Nobody need su fer for the want of flesh foods. “Following his usual pragtice, Mr. Hoover asks that the Amerigan peiple shall voluntarily refrain the consumption of Leef during the com- ing months and suggests ag the abso- moref than 114 pounds of clear beef and #4 pounds ‘ of beef with the bone infft per per- . son per week. : “Of course, many. peo the present great need fc our soldiers and the ors of our Allies, will refrain ently from its consumption, but muni@n and ship- yard workers ‘and oth#s who have heavy physical work tgperform may feel the need of this gximum quan- tity of 1% pounds pe veck, “Hotels and res{anrgs aie instruct- “ed not to place on jeir menus or serve boiled beef aghore than two meals weekly and t@erve beefsteak and roast beef at on¥one meal week- ky, at most. ~~ “There is plenty | pork for all of us and we may say our appetite for meat with freshjork, bacon. ham, sausage, ete, as yl as by the oc- casional use of mwn, lamb, fish and , realizing 1eef to feed poultry. “It may seem gttle strange that we are asking conservation of beef at this timed a slightly more liberal use of porn view of just the opposite having fen the case last winter, but the fison Is easily un- derstood: : ¢ “The stock feds, in order to save the soft corn [t was left in the country upon tiarly advent of w'n- ter last year, | it to the hogs in more plentiful fn normal quantities ‘and this resu] in a premature ripening of hf and the consequent early market .

Tyson, representative of the farmers in tke U. 8S. Food Administra- tica for Pennsylvania, urges upon the atiéntion of the agriculturalists of this stite the necessity for the greatest cate in the matter of their use of bagging, especially burlap bags. “There is,” he says, “an extreme shortage in the supply of jute from wiich burlap is made. This product is Imported from India and the short- aid of ships has interfered materially wth the supply while the demands of tla army for these bags which are wed in trench warfare is further de- ting the supply. : Certilizer and other products used armers are customarily shipped in gs made of burlap.” in200-pound bags, if possible, edlinated that It is the monetary saving Ss an example of the difficulties ing from the shortage of jute it is d that manufacturers of linoleum D use just cloth in the packing of ir product are finding great difii- c@ty in obtaining suflicient supplies | that they are experimenting with cfiton fabrics, in the hope of finding agatisfactory substitute for jute. = (he French like peas cooked in let- te leaves in the top of a double bfler or laid in lettuce leaves in the td of a strainer.

It is no dream which Mr. Heinz in- Yomeets when he warns the people of >ennsylvania against waste and calls pen them to conserve to the utmost this year's abundant crops. The pros- fo of a bumper wheat yield this fear, he says, is no reason for chang- g the measures already in effect. to save wheat against future needs. “Hor many years past,” he explains, “we have never come to the beginning of wheat held over from the previous vear and unconsumed. This surplus was the insurance against the future ; it was the saving factor in case of a crop failure, which is apt to occur at any time. This year was an exception. Our surplus from 1916 was small. The 1917 crop was very small. New, just before the 1918 harvest, we find our wheat bins swept clean, with the de- mands upon us greater than ever be- fore. ; “We. must, therefore, follow . the time-honored and oft-tested precedent established by Joseph and gather the food of the good years that come. for store against the years of famine, We must accumulate a new Burplus to take the place of that which has been swept away. It is more than prudence to do so; it is a vital necessity. This year's wheat crop will be 1drge: next year's crop may be a failure—no one can predict. But out of this year's supply it is entirely possible for us to accumulate a surplus: which would avert disaster which a crop failure in 191¢ would surely bring. “T urge the people of Pennsylvania to Lave this in mind. ‘Eternal vigi- lance is the price of safety’ Let us exercise it in full measure in the mat- ter of our wheat supply.” throwWay the water in which they wereked.
