A. after harvest. Sailora to Have Full Allowance. next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000.000 bushels a month, as against our normal consumption of about 42.000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent, of our normal consumption. This is the situa tion as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washing ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately 1 *2 pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food Administration’s statement continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers’ bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore, requires a larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and navy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat products than can the poor. In addition, our population in the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun dant. are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations. With improved transportation conditions we now have avail able a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human consumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes, has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. To eff«'! the i.ev*ieil saving of wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people and we tek that the following rules siiall be observed : 1. Householders to use not to exceed a total of 11» pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than 14, pounds of V .ctory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. 2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuff« macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total eg more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eat ing establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con forming with the limitations requested of the householders. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a l*arr*-l to any country customer at any one time, and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an e*jual weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound whs sold b fore, and < ■ rre.s[x>ndlng proportions in other weights. We also ask bakers not to Increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per W. JOS. cent, of the uverage monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March L 5. Manufacturers using wheat prod ucts for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. 0. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals. corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et cetera. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat prod ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are 1 doing so In perfect health and satisfac tion. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to '•ook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one- half pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households in. the country to follow this additional pro gramme In order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a pro portion of substitutes. In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are ab solutely demand***!* of tis to maintain the civil ¡Hipulatioii and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-opera tion of the j nblic by a further limita tion of ilts ributloii, and we shall place at . once restrictions on distribution which «ill I,.- adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable <lls- tribqtion as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax such restriction». Until then we ask for the necessary patience, sacrifice an*l co-operation of the distributing trades.
