Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia’s peach
crop this year will be atleastl.OOO
-car. loads short of expectations,
due to the heavy drop of fruit
from the trees which was caused
by recent cold weather, according
to estimates made by the Geor

which has followed the peach crop
minutely for many years, contrib-

The women of America, who are
anxious to do their great part in the
winning of the war, are now, as a
whole, familiar with the most impor
tant aspects of food conservation. The
Home Card, both in Its original form
and in the revised edition for 1918,
which provides for two wheatless days,
one meatless day a week, in addition
to a wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er a vigorous campaign in 10.000,000
American homes. An intelligent and
conscientious observance of the Home
Card’s requirements is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The Food Administration has had a
great many requests, however, particu
larly from the homes of the well-to-do,
that It should issue a worked out plan
for a voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for a voluntary ration
springs from two causes—first, be
cause it is far simpler for the house
wife to save food when she has a con
crete working plan by which to pro
ceed, and, second, because the loyal
women of America desire, unselfishly,
to put themselves on the same basis
as the women of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad
ministration is almost the same as
that adopted in England for voluntary
observance. All over the United King
dom, in hundreds of houses there
hangs In the front window a card with
the stirring pledge, “IN HONOR
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION.
AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA-
TIONS."
The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
in New York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, la
the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per Person.
Meat—Beef (fresh, salted, tin
ned and hashed) ; mutton,
iamb and veal (mutton by
preference) 214 lbs.
Butter lb,
Cooking Fats (margarine, lard,
lard substitutes, vegetable
oils)
Wheat Flour (for use in cook
ing gravies, etc., where
corn starch, cracker dust
or bread crumbs cannot be
substituted) %
Victory Bread (containing at
least 20 per cent, of a sub
stitute for wheat flour).... 1%
Sugar (including all sugar
used on the table and in
cooking and ail sweatmeats
and candies, but not that
used for canning and pre
serving) % lb.
The items listed above are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case of milk and cream, as much
may he used as necessary, and chil
dren, of course, must have their full
allowance of whole milk. Fish and
poultry, any cereal other than wheat,
vegetables and fruits and cheese may
he used as freely as is desired.
The above ration is in no wise in
tended to supplant the Home Card,
but rather to supplement it. It has
been published with the idea that it
will be a very real aid to the Ameri
can woman in her splendid effort to
carry out the great food conservation
program.

ing potato crop.
Government ex
perts have esti
mated that over 700,000 extra
acres of potatoes were planted
last year. The United States
Food Administration is endeavor
ing to push the nation's big po
tato stocks into channels of
trade and has placed potatoes
on the list of substitutes that
may lie bought along with wheat
flour.
Potato soup has become a war
dish. Here is a recipe that has
been tested by United States
Food Administration experts. In
gredients needed are three pnta-
toes. one quart of milk, two
slices onion, three tablespoons
butter substitute, two table
spoons flour, one and-one-half
tablespoons salt, one-quarter
teaspoon celery salt, one-eighth
teaspoon pepper, few grains cay
enne and one teaspoon chopped
parsley.
Cook potatoes in boiled salted
water. When soft run through
a strainer. Scald milk with on
ion, remove onion and add milk
slowly to potatoes. Molt the tat,
add dry ingredients, stir until
well mixed, then stir into boiling
soup. Cook one minute, strain
and sprinkle with barley.
If we are to furnish the allies with
tiie necessary proportion of wheat to
maintain their war bread from now
until the nexi harvest, and this is a
military necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to 21,000,000
bushels a montn as against our nor
mal consumption of about 42,000,000
bushels, or 50 per cent, of our normal
consumption. This is the situation as
set forth by the U. S. Food Adminis
tration at Washington. Reserving a
margin for distribution to the army
and for special cases, leaves for gen
eral consumption approximately 1 Vi
pounds of wheat products weekly per
person, the Food Administration’s
statement continues: Many of our
consumers are dependent upon bakers’
bread.. Such bread must be durable
and therefore requires a larger proper-
tion of wheat products than cereal
breads baked in the household. Our
army and navy require a full allow
ance. The well-to-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices in the con
sumption of wheat products than can
the poor. In addition, our population
in the agricultural districts, where the
other cereals are abundant, are more
skilled In the preparation of breads
from these other cereals than the
crowded city and industrial popula
tions.
With Improved transportation condi
tions we now have available a surplus
of potatoes. We also have in the
spring months a surplus of milk, and
we have ample corn and oats for hu
man consumption. The drain on rye
and barley as substitutes has already
greatly exhausted the supply of these
grains.
To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of tiie American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
a total of 1)4 pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than 1% pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Public eating places and ciut-s to
observe two when Hess days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
| of more than two ounces of wheat
j flour. No wheat products to be served
j unless specially ordered. Public eat-
| ing establishments not to buy more
| than six pounds <>f wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con
forming with the limitations requested
j of the'householders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any
town customer 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 au equal
weight of other cereals.
•J. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
soid, by delivery of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and cones ponding proportions
in other weights. We aiso ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their
wheat flour pun-buses beyond TO per
cent, of the average monthly amount
purchased ill the four months prior to
March 1.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
| cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
' other cereals, flours, and meals, corn,
• barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et
1 cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
j the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
