THE WORLD FOOD
CRISIS
By J. O. Moosberg
County Agent
President Truman on Febru-
ary 6th said, “For the world as
demng. "Fanners ana victory
gardeners of America must
make every effort to provide
the additional food that is
needed. The deep satisfac-
tion that these food producers
'receive from helping to relieve
the critical food situation
a whole, a food crisis has de- abroad will be an additional
veloped which may prove, to. reward for their efforts,’ he
be the worst in modern times. sa>b-
On February 21st Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson ,i
More people face starvation
fuid even actual death for want
of food today than in any war vised food production upward,
year, and perhaps in all the: He called on farmers of the
war years combined. Food is! wheat belt to plant an addi-
so short in Europe that in-,tiona! million acres of wheat,
stead of three meals daily con- i on the corn belt farmers to
taining 3300 calories of energy j Plant an additional million
as we are now eating in the
United States that 125 million
Europeans have about two
meals daily, or 2000 calories
of energy and 28 million peo-
ple have food for 1^£ meals
daily or 1500 calories.
On February 6th President
Truman proclaimed that War
Food Order Mo. 144 should go
into effect on March 1st. How
does this effect the people of
the Uhlted States? It provides
that each 100 pounds of wheat
aril! yield 80 pounds of flour
instead of 72 pounds. During
the war the millers of flour en-
riched 65% of the flour with
Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin
and Iron. Much of these vita-
mins and minerals is contain-
ed in the bran of the wheat
which is removed in the mill-
ing of white flour. Substitut-
ing the new flour for the white
flcur will markedly increase
the thiamine and iron content
of the flour that we will eat.
In addition the protein content
of the new flour will be much
better than the old flour, in
that much of the protein from
wheat under the white flour
processing went into shorts
that has been used for live-
stock feeding.
On February 18th Prerident
Truman called for continued
acres of corn, and on fanners
in other areas to plant an ad-
ditional million acres of corn
and grain sorghums.
Your county agent has re-
ceived a letter containing this
information and requesting
that every effort be made on
production of food crops in
Shelby county.
The food production pro-
gram on each individual farm
in the county will be:
1. Save from waste all kinds
of food and feed grains, and
increase the acreage of those
adapted to the farm.
2. Produce as far as possible
and practical the milk, eggs,
meat, vegetables, fruits and
cereals needed on the farm for
a good family diet daily.
3. Continue to improve feed
canning and preservation.
4. Produce better year
round pastures for livestock
by controlling brush and
weeds, and fertilizing with
phosphate and potash provid-
ed by the AAA. Produce and
store all the good hay and
silage possible.
5. Use commercial fertiliz-
ers when -planting crops to in-
crease production of feed,
grains and food crops.
This will help farm families
and others to have enough to
emphasis in 1946 on home gar- eat. Have food to share with
