OREGON
MEN OVERSEAS NEED GRAIN
Plan Devised to Save Transportation
■ nd Time—Local Donations to Be
Retold Locally But Release
Equal
Amount at Atlantic Seaboard For
Immediate Shipment to Allies and
Troops.
Opportunity is now offered, through
Federal Food Administrator W. B.
Ayer, for Oregon families and manu
facturing firms using wheat flour, to
make a voluntary personal sacrifice
for the benefit of Uncle Sam’s boys in
the Army and Navy. Mr. Ayer has
announced that any family, public eat
ing place, or factory using wheat flour,
such as bakeries and cracker factories,
now has the privilege of directly con
tributing to the flour bins of the Army
and Navy by turning back to the gov
ernment, at the market price, such
portion of their wheat flour allowance
as they will patriotically refrain from
consuming themselves.
Such gifts of wheat flour, while not
going directly to France for the boys
overseas, will be turned Into the gov
ernment commissary at the nearest
point, and will release an equal quan
tity of wheat flour on the Atlantic
seaboard for immediate shipment
"over there.” Under this novel plan
when a patriotic Oregon family goes
on a wheatless diet for a week or a
month, or longer period, the wheat
flour they save and turn back to the
government actually represents an
equivalent of wheat flour three thou
sand miles away, which immediately
starts to move forward to the fighting
forces. This arrangement has been
made in order to save transportation
across the continent.
"I am hoping for a splendid wheat
saving record in Oregon" said Mr
Ayer the other day, “For I believe
when Oregon families and public eat
Ing places in the state know that the
flour they save will go direct to the
boys of the Army and Navy they will
not hesitate to respond in the usual
patriotic Oregon way. I had a tele
gram from Mr. Hoover today in which
he asked me for an estimate on what
I thoqght Oregon could be relied upon
to save under the new plan. I wished
to be conservative, and I replied that
my estimate would be 30 to 35 per
cent of the normal wheat flour con
sumption. This is a much lower es
tímate than other states had made,
and I realize that it will probably be
unsatisfactory at Washington. 1 am
hoping that the people of the state
will exceed this estimate by a gener
ous margin. The county administra
tors have in hand the full details of
the plan for saving wheat In this way
for the needs of our fighting men. and
any one wishing to personally contrib
ute wheat flour should get in touch at
once with the Food Administrator of
the county in which he or she lives.”
The wheat-saving plan announced
by Mr. Ayer is a national one, and it
is now operative In all the states.
The states of Washington, Idaho and
Oregon are now cooperating in an
effort to make a big wheat saving rec
ord for the Northwest. Federal Food
Administrators R. F. Bicknell of Idaho
and Charles Hebberd of Washington
join with Federal Food Administrator
W. B. Ayer for Oregon in the follow
ing announcement, which gives in de
tail the plan of handling the returned
wheat:
"Mr. Hoover has wired all Federal
Food Administrators that the excess
stocks of flour held by public eating
placea, baker«, dealers and consumers
may be voluntarily surrendered for
the use of the Army and Navy and the
Allies This action has been prompted
by the many voluntary offerings from
different parts of the country.
"The practical method of handling
such returned flour will be through
the local merchant, who is hereby re
quested to receive all such flour and
pay the holding consumer the actual
cost of same, and then re distribute it
without any additional charge to the
ultimate consumer. Where merchants
accumulate more than their thirty
days' supply and all hotels, bakers,
etc., that have an excess amount that
cannot be disposed of locally, they
should Immediately communicate with
Mr M H Houaer. Grain Commission
er of the Food Administration. Board
of Trade Building. Portland, and he
will arrange for the transportation to
the seaboard. All flour returned to
the merchant that ia resold to the
consumer should be reported to Mr
Houser, in order that an equal amount
may be released for shipment to the
Allies.
Best quality, most useful and just what
“The whole object
rangement is to provide a channel
through which all excess quantities
of flour may reach the Army and Navy
or the Allied armies as a voluntary
offering of the people of this country.“
If you have a food conservation plan
or recipe pass It on to your neighbors
and your friends—be “in the service."
