Useless Wheat and Ration Adjustments During War
The Food Administration tightens bread and meat guidance as allied demands rise. Meat supplies increase due to large hog shipments while bread rations stay limited. A weekly meatless day Tuesday is urged and changes are explained amid transport and crop condition uncertainties.
Food for Allies Depends on U.S. Sacrifices
The Food Administration urges every American to join a vast effort to feed the Allies. To win the war, 75,000,000 bushels of wheat must be sent abroad, while domestic rationing and conservation grow stricter. Citizens are asked to cut meat, fats, and dairy by 10 to 15 percent and to share scarce supplies through a united national effort.
