WHEAT CRISIS FORGES CHANGES IN RULES Households, Eating Houses and Bakers Must Decrease Use of Wheat. Urgent military necessities of the United States and the. Allies has forced a more drastic restriction In the wheat conservation program. Coupled with an earnest appeal to all Individuals, households, public eating places and bakers of bread and pas tries for their co-operation and sup port, Herbert C. Hoover has Issued a new set of rules doslgned to further reduce wheat consumption In this country until the next harvest These rules and Mr. Hoover's per sonal appeal are given out through Mr. W. B. Ayer, Federal Food Admin istrator for Oregon, In the following message: "If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest (and this Is n military necessity) we must reduce our monthly consumption to twenty one million bushels a month as against . our normal consumption of about forty-two million bushels or fifty per cent of our normal consumption, re serving a margin for distribution to the army and for special casra, 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 baker's bread. Such bread must be durable and thereforo requires a larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breads baked In the home. "The well-to-do In our population can make greater sacrifices 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 theso other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations. With Improved transpor tation conditions we now have avail able & 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 r' jpendont 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 exceed a total of one and one-half pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means 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 wheatlcss days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present, and In addition thereto not to serve In the aggregate a total of mora breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pastry, plea, cakes, and wheat break fast cereals containing a total of more 'ilium two ounces of wheat flour to any lone guest at any one meal.

Third Retailers to sell not mors than one eighth of a barrel of flour to any town consumer at any one llmu and not more than one-quarter of n barrel to any country customer at any one time and in no case to sell whrat products without the salu of an equal weight of othar cereals. Fourth Wo 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 anil correspond ing proportions In other weights. Wo alan ask, tiakors not to Increase the amount of their wheat flour pur chases beyond sevis'.y per cent of tho average monthly an.ouat purchased In the four months prior to March first. Fifth Manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes should ceaue such use entirely. Sixth Thoro 1b no limit upon the use of other cereal flours and moals, such as corn, barley, buckwheat, po tato flour, ct 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 aro doing so in porfect 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 the use of less wheat products than the one and one half pounds a week allowed. Wo spe cially ask tho well-to-do hoiiseholdB In the country to follow this additional programme so that wo may provide tho necPKsary 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 wo shall be able to mako tho wheat exports that are absolutely de manded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the Alllei and own amy.
