APRIL 18, 1918 PAGE 4 CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL WHEAT CRISIS FORCES CHANGESJN RULES Households, Eating Houses and Bakers Must Decrease Use of Wheat Urgent military neceesltlee of the United States and the Allies has forced a mora draatle restriction In the wheat conservation program. Coupled with an ssrneet appeal to all Individuals, households, public sating plasss and bakers of bread and pas tries for thslr eo-cpsratlon and sup port, Herbert C. Hoover has iasued a new set of rules designed to further reduce wheat consumption In this ountry until ths next harvest j These rules and Mr. Hoover's per- nal appeal are given out through Mr. W. B. Ayer, Federal Food Admin. . Istrstor for Oregon, In ths following message: "If we are to furnish ths Allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now ntil ths next harvest (and this la a military necessity) ws must reduce our monthly consumption to twenty one million bushels a month as against our normal consumption of about j forty-two million bushels or fifty per sent of our normal consumption, re serving a margin for distribution to the army and for special rasas, leav ing for general consumption approxi mately one and one-half pounds of wheat products weekly per person. ! Many of our consumers are dependent upon ba'-.cr's bread. Such bread must ; be durable and therefore requires larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breada baked in the home. "The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrificea in the consumption of wheat products than can the poor. In addition our popu lation in the agricultural districts, where the substitute cereals are abun dant, are more skilled in the prepara tion of breads from these other cereala than the crowded city and industrial populations. With improved transpor tation 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 sup ply of these grains. "To effect the needed saving of wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the Amer ican people and we ask that the fol lowing rules shall be observed: First Householders to use not to xceed a total of one and one-half pounds per week of wheat products per person. This mesns not more than one and three-fourths pounds of victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and about one-half pound of cooking flour, mac aroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals all combined. Second Public eating places and clubs to observe two whestless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present, and in addition thereto not to serve in the aggregate a total of more breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, and wheat break fast cereals containing a total of more than two ounces of heat flour to any one guest at any one meal. NO WHEAT PRODUCTS TO BE SERV ED UNLESS SPECIALLY ORDERED. Public eating establishments not to buy mors than six pounds of wheat products per month per guest, thus .conforming with limitations requested of the householders. ' Third Retailers to sell not more than one-elgbth of a barrel of flour lo any town consumer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. . Fourth We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of vic tory bread sold by delivery of a three-quarters pound loaf where one pound was sold before and correspond ing proportions In other weights. We alse ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour pur chases bsyond seventy per cent of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March first. I Fifth Manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. Sixth There Is no limit upon the use of other cereal flours and meals, such as corn, barley, buckwheat, po tato flour, et cetera. Many thousands of families throughout the land are now using no wheat products what ever except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so la perfect health and satisfaction. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook In their own households cannot sub sist perfectly well with ths use of less wheat products than the one and one half pounds a week allowed. We spe cially ask the welt-to-do households in the country to follow this additional programme so 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 and in order that we shall be able to , make the wheat exports that are absolutely de manded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the Allies and our own army. "With the arrival of the new harvaet ws should be able to relax such re strictions,, but until then we ask tor the necessary patience, sacrifice, and co-operation of the distribution trade SOME REASONS WHY WHEAT MUST BE SAVED "A Man Cannot Think, Work or Fight When He la Hungry" We Muat Feed Our Soldiers. "We have the preservation of the world on our handa. Every single living human being In thla republic, from ocean to ocean, should make it his or her special purpose to save food." These are the words of E. F. Cullen. personal representative of Herbert C Hoover, in a recent address. Men will resist any power but the i power of starvation," said Mr. Cullen. "Hunger In the final analysis, is the only force that can weaken a nation and demoralise an army. Food is strength, and without a perpetual sup ply of strength, the world rsn stand In danger of tottering, weakening and falling into utter chaos. A man can not think, work or tight It he is hun gry. "Ths allies today are practically wholly dependent upon the United States for food. Upon this nation rests ths responsibility of preserving the world from Prnsslanlstn. This Is the task of the people of thla nation to produce and aave food enough to keep a ateady stream of essential sup plies moving towards the front ao long as It shall be necessary to wage this war. If at any time we fall In thia. we must Inevitably go down, with the allies, to defeat This is no ex aggeration, but a serious fact It la the purpose of the United States Food Administration to bring ths realisa tion of this fsct home to every Ameri can man, woman and child, and to en list the Individual aid of our hundred million people In producing and sav ing food. The Food Administration is not asking you to eat less; It only urges that yon substitute one nutri- tlous food for another equally nutrt- ' tious food, thus saving the vital its- j pies needed by our armies and the , armies and peoples ot the allies. We must during the next three months. save wheat especially. Our surplus ' has already been shipped abroad, and a hundred million bushels more are I needed. When you eat a slice of bread j less, omit the crackers with your soup, i or otherwise conserve on wheat prod- ucts, you are contributing towards the ! hundred million bushels needed over j there by our fighting men and the j exhausted people of Belgium, France and England who have for more than three years been bearing the brunt of this wsr, which is our war. Keep tnis In mind, and bring it before the minds of your thoughtless friends and neigh bors." FOOD ADMINISTRATION FACTS One ounce less ot meat each day for everyone means a saving of 4, 400,000 meat animals a yaar. Save your ounce. The sacrifice is small, but the result for your country la large. 1,185,000 tons of sugar will be saved the first year if each of us uses one ounce less each day. ' This will keep sugar plentiful and cheap. The Allies are all In the ssme boat, long way from shore and on limited rations and Uncle Sam la running the relief ship. It's up to us to save the cargo. Reduction, Production the 191$ watchwords. Food will win the war. Save it Produce it If yon run your household on three pounds of sugar a month per .person, when fall comes the grocer won't have to hang up the sign "No Sugar." The second helping Is getting to be bad form. There's lots of money to go round. but bacon, beef and wheat can't make the circuit Save your share. Waste and want are twin sisters and neither beautiful. Potatoes for Patriotism. By eating potatoes instead of wheat the people of the United States can help win the war. We have not enough wheat for the Allies and our selves. We have an abundance of po tatoes. Wheat flour is a concentrated food and therefore good for shipping; potatoes are bulky and are conse quently not suited for limited shipping space, nor are the Allies so short ot potatoes as of wheat Next to cereals, potatoes have been In this country the mainstay of starchy food, which supplies energy. The more potatoes we eat, the less wheat we need. A medium-sized po tato, weighing about 3 ounces, sup plies about as much starch as two small slices of wheat bread one-halt inch thick. In other respects also, the potato measures up well with wheat bread and even has the advant age over It in supplying certain salts which the body needs to counteract the acidity resulting frost the use of tuck foods as cereals, meat and eggs. By exercising her ingenuity the house wife can prepare potatoes In many different attractive ways, thus Increas ing their proportion in the family diet and conserving wheat and other sta ples needed for shipment abroad. An Important use ot potatoes, also, is to the mixing of breads, in which mash ed potatoes up to fully ten per cent may be used without detracting from its appearance or taste; in fact, many persons hold that potatoes properly mixed in bread, improves both appear Sacs and flavor.
