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. NQ

conforming with limitations requested
of the householders.
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.
"W :i the arrival jf the new harvest
we r'.i uld be abli- ta relax such re
strictlf;::, but unti. then we ask for
