Cargoes Will Be Provided lor Steamers
Offered to This Dlrlsloa by
Shlpplas- Beard.
Th following bulletins were issued yes
terday by G. V. Haye. manager of the
North Paclflo Coast milling division of the
Food Administration:
'It has been determined that for thi
time being mills which have signed propo
sition 1. confining their domestic trade to
divisions a and 0. In return for which tbey
were to participate In the excess grind to
load steamers offered us by the Shipping
rioard, will be allowed an Increase of 10
per cent on their average yearly allotment
of wheat. Tou will, of course, understand
that if the tonnage offered to us exceed
this amount that you will b permitted a
further excess grind. This amount of 10
per cent Increase is considered a safe mar
gin at this time, and will be revised as the
shipping programme Is presented to
The allotment to those mills which have
not signed proposition 1 will be 90 per cent
or their average grind, whlon places tnera
on the same basis as all other agreement
mills In the country. Please govern the
operations of your mills accordingly.
Corn products spoil quickly at this time
of the year if not properly treated before
leaving the mill. Corn meal, corn flour,
grits and feed from corn must be thoroughly
dried and cooled after grinding; otherwise
they will surely spoil within a few days If
shipped or stored during the next zour
months.
"This Is the germinating season to which
corn especially Is peculiarly susceptible.
Extra caution, therefore, must be conserved
or trouble comes. At this time the germ
should be removed entirely or killed by heat
In the drying process At least 100 pound
steam pressure should be carried on the
drying apparatus during this season.
'The urgency of the situation demands
that you consider a careful compliance with
these suggeatlons a an absolute necessity,
if vou would save yourselvea heavy loese
and render hearty eupport to the adminis
tration in the conservation of thl gram.
"Experienced corn millers know these
things. The purpose of this letter Is to
rrlve these fact to the new corn millers o
that their effort to eo-opsrate with the
Government In the present emergency will
not be misdirected."
