Ten Years Intensive Trial and Experiment on the
FORDSON FARM TRACTOR
Personal supervision by Mr. Ford of every possible trial
that the “Fordson” Farm Tractor could be put to, through
more than ten years of experimenting, has resulted in this
practical farm implement.
It is designed for farmers’ use on large and small farms.
Has a powerful motor, similarly designed to the Ford auto
mobile motor, yet developing more pulling power.
SAVES HORSES AND MEN
Pulling Plows, Harrows and Pulverizers, saving the use of
eight horses and three men, this simple, reliable, efficient tract
or is needed on any size farm.

OUR SAVED FOOD

Food Administrator Writes Presi
dent America Conserved 141,
000,000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
844,600,000 Pounds.
Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,
000,000 bushels of wheat and 844,600,
000 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at $1,400,000,000.
This was accomplished in the face of a
serious food shortage Id this country,
! bespeaking the wheleheartedness and
| patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1917-18 and the shipment of
meat during 1917-18.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,400,000,000, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
(including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc.,) to Allied des
tinations wrere as follows:
Fiscal year 1916-17... .2,166,500,000lbs.
Fiscal year 1917-18.. ..3,011,100,000 lbs.
Increase ... . 844,600,000 lbs.
Our slaughterable anhnals at the be
ginningUT the . at year were* i
appreciably larger than the year h°'
fore and particularly in hogs- fh 1
were probably less. The increase i
shipments is due to conservation D
the extra weight of animals added*?
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts bee*
to bear their best results in the 1
half of the fiscal year, when the T
ports to the Allies were 2,133,100 Si
pounds, as against 1,266,500,000’pound
In the same period of the year befor*
This compares with an average
801,000,000 pounds of total exports f -
the same half years in the three-yea!
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products r*
duced to terms of cereal bushels oai
shipments to Allied destinations hav«
been:
Fiscal year 1916-17..259,900,000 bushel*
Fiscal year 1917-18..340,800,000bushel*
Increase . 80.900,000 bushels
Of these cereals our shipments o|
the prime breads tuffs in the fiscal yeai
1917-18 to Allied destinations were
Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of rvt
13,900,000 bushels, a total of 144,900
000 bushels.
ia IV aiucu UfSllU&UOQf
during the fiscal year 1916-17 were:
Wheat 135.100,000 bushels and rj«
2,300,000 bushels, a total of 137,400,OI)C
bushel*. In addition some 10,000,00(1
bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port
for Allied destinations or en route
thereto. The total shipments tp Allied
countries from our last harvest ol
wheat will be therefore, about 141,000,
000 bushels, or a total of 154,000,000
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad
Jition to this we have shipped som»
10.000. 000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters#
“This accomplishment of our people
In this matter stands out even mors
clearly if we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1916-11
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200.000. 000 bushels of wheat which wi
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf," Mr,
Hoover said. “This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1911
wheat crop, we had available from ne!
carry-over and production ami imports
only Just about our normal consump
tion. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.

convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past yeai
by the whole American people. De
spite the magnificent effort of our agri
cultural population in planting a much
Increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there a, very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn Is our dominant crop,
“I ksn sure,” Mr. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report, “that all the
millions of our people, agricultural as
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel a very
definite satisfaction that in a year oi
universal food shortages in the north
ern hemisphere all of those people
Joined together against Germany have
come through into sight of the cominj
harvest not only with wealth and
strength fully maintained, but with
only temporary periods of hardship.
“It is difficult to distinguish between
various sections of our people—the
homes, public eating places, f°°
trades, urban or agricultural popuS'
tions—In assessing credit for these re
sults, but no one will deny the doffir
nant part of the American women. ^
