Wartime Export Trends Raise Hogs and Grains Shipments
The report notes no large increase in slaughter animals at the start of the last fiscal year, with hogs likely down. Exports to Allies rose as conservation and heavier livestock took effect, reaching 2,133,100,000 pounds in the period, and 2,206,500,000 pounds the year before. Cereal shipments also shifted, with 1916-17 at 259,900,000 bushels and 1917-18 at 840,800,000 bushels.
Hoover cites wartime wheat exports and savings as national effort
The text quotes Herbert Hoover praising American grain shipments to Allied destinations in 1917 18 totaling about 154.9 million bushels of prime breadstuffs and says 141 million bushels will have gone to Allies from the last wheat harvest while neutrals received about 10 million. He notes limited carryover and that home bread was largely preserved, with praise for farmers and all Americans, especially women, for enduring shortages and increased acreage amid harvests and crop failures.
