Excerpt from Effects of the Great War Upon Agriculture in the United States and Great Britain Of course, the difficulty was seen early by the countries at war and measures were taken not only to increase their own pro duction, but to reduce consumption as far as possible. Before we entered the war we had become, in a large degree, the source of the world's food supply. On our entry the duty of feeding the world lay upon us still more heavily, for we had not only to care for our people at home, but for our soldiers abroad, and supply a large part of the food of our allies. Here, as in Great Britain, the measures were of two kinds, the stimulation of production and conservation in consumption.
