MTATK FOOD ADMINIHTIIATOH
PRKDICW' THAT SUPPLY IN
CALIFORNIA wiLL III. KX
HAVHTKO IN XINKTY DAYS AT
lRIKNT RATI:
i
if
SAN ritANCIKO, April 1. At
the present rate of consumption there
will be no wheat"1 flour In California
In ninety days.
The state faces n broud ration of
very limited proportions. The sup
ply of cereal substitutes for wheat Is
also rapidly diminishing here and In
other states, whose stocks are like
wise at the point Of exhaustion. Until
the new crop there will be no possi
bility of securing supplies of wheat
iour for cereal . substitutes. .The
fresh vegetables, beans, fresh meats,
potatoes and nth must take the place
of all cereals on the family table for
the present. ,, ' (
These were the outstanding-f
n res of the statement Issued here by
Ralph P. Merrill, federal food com
missioner for California, who for tho
first tlmo since the new wheat conser
vation program was announced, re
vealed the oxtreme gravity of the
wheat situation, and explained the
drastic measures he declared were
necessary to avert a wheat broad
famine In California.
"I am not predicting bread cards
or compulsory wheat rations, but
ninety days hence at the present rate
of consumption would bo too Into
simply because there would bo uo
wheat flour available to mako bread,"
Merrltt said. He contlnued:
"Tho family flour bin and the gro
cers' shelves aro particularly bare of
wheat flour and other essontlal cere
als today, and there will be no sup
plies until the new harvest, at least
four months hence. The present
wheat and cereal shortage is due to
heavy shipments to the allied nations
as a military necessity of the great
est Import, nnd not to any conditions
over which the food administration
has had control.
The situation today means Just one
thing either we reduce our wheat
flour consumption 50 per cent or we
will soon reach a total exhaustion of
white flour, and consequently we will
have no bread. There Is only a cer
tain quanUty of wheat flour in the
country, and It la smaller than tho
public Is aware."
AIIF.MMAX FUND OKTH tM
A special collection was taken at
the Presbyterian church yesterday
