I VHEAT CRISIS FORCES CHANGES III RULES Households, Eating Houses and Bakers Must Decrease Use of Wheat Urgent military neceseltles of the United MttN and the Allies ha road a mora draatic restriction In Mm -wheat -conservation program. Coupled with an oarnaat appeal to all Indlvlduala, households, public eating piacee and bakero of broad and aaa tHee for their corporation and oup port, Herbert C. Hoover haa leaued a now oat of niloa designed to further roduoo wheat conoumptlon In thla country until the next harvest, These ruleo and Mr. Heaver's per eonal appeal are given aut through Mr. W. B. Ayer, Federal Food Admin, lot rotor for Oregon, In the following "If wo aro to furnlah the Alllea with the necessary proportion ot wheat to maintain their war bread from now atil" the next harvest (and thla la a military necessity) we must reduce our monthly consumption to twenty one million bushels a month as agminat our ' normal consumption of about equal weight of other cereals. Fourth We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume oi vic tory bread aold by delivery of a three-quarters pound loaf where one pound was aold before and correspond ing proportions In other weights. We alae ask bakers not to Increase the amount of tholr wheat flour pur chases beyond eeventy per cent of the average monthly amount purchased In the four months prior to March first Fifth Manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. . Blxth There la no limit anon the mo of , other cereal flours and meals, such as com, barley, buckwheat, po tato flour, et cetera. Many thousands f families throughout the land .are now using bo wheat products what ever except a very small amount for oooklng purposes, and are doing so In perfect health and satisfaction. There la no reaaoa why all of the American people who aro able to cook In tholr own households cannot sub sist perfectly well with the use of leaa wheat products than the one and one half pounds a week allowed. We spe cially ask the well-to-do households in the country to foliow 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 elvll forty-two million bushels or fifty per cent of our normal coMumption. re- I population and soldiers ot the Allies arviua m Hiaraiu iur uieiriuuuun w the army and for special cases, leer ing for general consumption approxi mately one and one-half pounds of wheat products weekly per person.

Such bread mnst j fM public," be durable and therefore1 requlrea a j larger proportion of wheat products than careal breads baked In the home. "The well-to-do In our population J ean make greater sacrifices In the consumption of wheat products than oan 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 cereals than the crowded oity and industrial populations. With Improved transpor tation conditions we now have avail able a surplus of potatoes. We also save 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 grama. To effect the needed earing of Wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the Amer ican people and we ask that the fol lowing roles shall be observed : First Householders to use not to exceed a total of one and one-half pounds per week of wheat products for person. Thla means not more Buta one and three-fourths pounds of victory broad containing the required percentage of substitutes and about half pound of cooking flour, mac aroni, crackers, pa try, plea, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals all combined. isooad Public eating places and elube to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present, and in addition thereto not to aerve In the aggregate a total of snore breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, and wheat break fast oeroala containing a total of more than two ounces ot wheat flour to any eaw guest at any one meal. NO WHEAT PRODUCTS TO BE SERV ED UNLESS SPECIALLY ORDERED. PnMk eating establishments not to 'IMF more 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-eighth of a barrel of flour to 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 and our own army. "With the arrival of the new harvest wo should be able to relax such re strictions, but until then we ask tor the necessary patience, sacrifice, and co-operation of the distribution trades FRED A.
