Food shipments to Allied nations and domestic forces totalled 1.4 billion dollars in 1917–18, with 141 million bushels of wheat and 844.6 million pounds of meat moved amid a wartime shortage. Hoover notes voluntary conservation enabled these exports and boosts from 1916–17 to 1917–18.
The report notes that slaughterable animals were not markedly larger at the start of the last fiscal year and hogs were likely smaller. Increased shipments come from conservation and heavier animals. In the latter half of the year exports to the Allies reached 2 183 100 000 pounds versus 1 266 500 000 the year prior, with prewar three year averages around 4 000 000 pounds. Cereal exports fell to terms of bushels, totaling 259 900 000 in 196-17 and 340 800 000 in 1017-18.
President Hoover reports total prime breadstuffs shipped to Allied countries reaching about 154.9 million bushels, including wheat and rye, with 141.09 million bushels from the last harvest. He notes the record effort amid wartime shortages and praise for agricultural workers and American women in sustaining food supplies.
Condensed guidance by George Ade urging thrift stamps, efficient farming, silos, wheat acreage, and postwar labor redirection. Highlights tomato canning support, patriotic duties, liberty loan participation, and food conservation to aid troops and defeat tyranny.
