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.
