Message From the
Government to the
American Farmers
TO THE PATRIOTS ON THE
FARMS:
You are asked to undertake
another offensive—to go “over
the top” this fall for a great
wheat harvest in 1919. I need
give only a few figures and
farts to impress you with the
increasing and urgent need of
our people, our armies, the al
lied peoples and their armies
for large supplies of American
wheat.
Our reserve supply or carry
over from the 1917 crop is
practically exhausted and is
the smallest on record. The
need of building up reserves of
wheat is evident. Although
this country produced a small
crop of this grain in 1917, the
total exports of wheat in excess
of imports, including flour in
terms of wheat, amounted to
approximately 100,000,000 bu
shels for the year ending June
30, 1918. This in comparison
•with 178,000,000 bushels ex
ported in 1917, 236,000,000
bushels in 1916, and 331,000,
000 bushels in 1915. It was
possible for the United States
tc export wheat in large quan
tise in 1915 and 1916 only be
cause of the large wheat crops
of 1912-13-14-15, which gave
this country an acrumulation ol
stocks of this grain. Roth the
1916 and 1917 crops were
smaller than any crops since
1911 and besides this there
was a greater demand for seed
wheat and an increased pop
ulation to be fed.
Moreover, it must be borne
in mind that the carry-over in
all the ten importing countries
in Europe was practically ex
hausted this year, before the
new harvest; that the normal
reqdirements of the exporting
countries are increasing in
stead of diminishing; that
some losses in storage and tran
sit may be expected to contin
ue; and that it is highly desir
able that a surplus should de
accumulated as insurance 1
against partial crop failure
next year.
You have been asked to sow
to winter wheat this fall not
less than 45,000,000 acres—an
increase of 7 per cent over last
year’s sowing—and the De
partment has suggested that
an even greater area, 47,500,
000 acres, is desirable. The in
creased planting asked of each
State has been carefully de
termined with regard to its lo
cal conditions and its reason
able capabilities. Your county
agent can tell you the quota
assigned to your state and you
can apply the responsibility to
your case. '■
You have occupied and do
occupy the first line trenches
of the food army. You have
to fight difficulties too. 1 am
not unmindful of these. In the
Department of Agriculture we
consider them daily, and daily
we give our best efforts to help
you meet them. You know of
the difficulties in your com
munity, but I know of them in
many communities of many
states, and so seriously did
they impress me that I might
almost consider them insur
mountable had not American
