March 23.—The American table must respond to the world crisis and again cut its consump tion of wheat products. Herbert Hoover tonight issued his expected regulations, limiting wheat consumption to one and a half pounds *>er person per week—about 50 per cent of normal. As a ’’military measure" this saving—amounting to 21,000,000 bushels per mOnth —must be accomplish ed until the next harvest. In addition to requests for sharp vol untary conservation steps, bakers were ordered to increase wheat flour substi tutes to 25 per cent April 14. Twenty per cent adulteration is now required. Still greater percentage of substitutes may be required later, the food admin istration warned. The action by the federal food ad ministration is taken to indicate a fur ther step toward the issuance of bread cards.'which, it is understood from re liable sources, is being seriously con templated. The New Bules “If we are to furnish the allies with the necessary portion of wheat to main tain their war bread from now until the next harvest —and this is a mili tary necessity—the people of the United States must reduce their monthly con sumption to 21.000.000 bushels per month, as againsts our normal con sumption of about 42,000,000 bushels per month, or 50 per cent of our normal consumption. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special causes, this leaves for general consump tion approximately one and one-half pounds of wheat products weekly per person. “Many of our consumers are depend ent upon bakers’ bread. Such bread must be durable, and, therefore, re quires a larger proportion of wheat prod ucts than cereal breads which are or can be baked in the home for imme ditae passage from the cook stove to the table. “Our army and navy require a full allowance. “The well-to-do of our population can make greater sacrifices In the consump tion of wheat products than can the poor. In addition, the population in our vast agricultural districts—where other cereals are and will be abundant —are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these other cereals than are the people of the crowded city and industrial populations. “With improved transportation, we now have available a surplus of pota toes. We have also, in the spring months, a surplus of milk, and we have available ample corn and oats for hu man consumption. “The drain on rye and barley as sub stitutes has already greatly exhausted the supply of these cereals. “To fully effect the needed saving in wheat, the country is . largely depend ent upon the voluntary, patriotic as sistance of the American people, a pa triotism which has never since the birth of our nation been called Into action at any time of stress, and particularly in war time, in vain." Outlining the new rules which are to be observed to meet the wheat require ments—rules which have been prepared and laid down by the United States food administration —Dr. Soule has is sued the following: "Hquseholders to use not to exceed a total of one and one-half pounds per week per person of wheat products. "This means not more than 1 3-4 pounds of ‘victory’ bread containing the required percentage of substitutes, and about one-half a pound of cookinc flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies cakes, wheat breakfast cereals—all com bined. Public Eating Places “Second —Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week—Monday and Wednesday—as at present. “In addition thereto, not to serve in the aggregate a total of more bread stuffs, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals —ail com bined—of more than two ounces of wheat flour to any one.guest at any one meal. “No wheat products to be served un less specially ordered. "Public eating establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals saved, conforming with limitations requested of the householder. “Third—Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour tc any town or city consumer at any one time, and not more than one-quarter barrel to any country consumer at any one time and in no case sell wheat products without the sale of equal weight of other cereals. “Fourth—Bakers and grocers to re duce the volume of ‘Victory’ bread sols by delivery to three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold before, and corresponding proportions in other weights. “We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour pur chases beyond 70 per cent of the aver age .monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to Marstt 1. “Fifth—Manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes shall cease such entirely. “Sixth—There is no limit upon the use of other cereals; flour and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, etc. “Many thousands of families through out the nation are using no wheat prod ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes and arc doing so in perfect health and satisfac tion. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households can not subsist perfectly well with the use cf less wheat products than 1 1-2 ppundi per person per week, and we especlall ask the well-to-do householders of the country to follow this additional pre gram in order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for thos parts of the community less able *o adapt themselves to so large a propor tion of substitutes. “In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are ab solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population, and the soldiers of our allies, and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-operatio. I of the public by a further limitation o i distribution and the United States food ; administration will place at once re strictions on distribution, which will b adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable distribution as possi ble. “With the arrival of the next harves' the administration believes It should b able to announce that such restrictions will be relaxed, but until that time th' administration asKs for the necessary ‘ patience, sacrifice and co-operation • I the distributing trades."

F. C. von Herrmann, the weather forecaster, has prepared a table which gives the - average date for the appear ance o fthe last killing frost of spring in d’fferent sections of Georgia. The weather bureau will distribute as wide ly as possible warnings as to when plants should be protected. All persons interested are urged to watch the weath er bulletins as well as the columns of the newspapers and be prepared to take all necessary precautions. The average date for the last killing frost in Atlanta is April 1. The best methods to protect small gardens, the weather bureau points ’out, is to cover the plants with paper, carpet, straw or leaves. Large gardens should be pro tected with smudges or by an artificial warming of the air.

Upshaw, candidate for the United States senate against Thomas W. Hardwick, accuses William J. Harris of attempting “to corner the market on patriotism and ride into office on his personal friend ship for President Wilson.” He says Mr. Harris, in the latter’s recent statement, "suggests by ungra cious inuendo that those who oppose him are the political friends of Hard wick, not the kaiser himself.” He says “the people of Georgia feel that this is an outrage, and such methods are disgusting literally thousands over the state —not the favored office-holders put in by Hardwick, but the plain, thoughtful people." Replying to Mr. Karri’s tfiarge that “every effort has been nade to divide the following of the loyal people of Georgia,” he says that he (Upshaw) was the first to enter the race against Senator Hardwick, while Mr. Harris came in third. Closing his statement, Mr. Upshaw says: “Now let the good people of Georgia hear this once for all. If some tower ing statesman like Benjamin Harvey Hill or Henry G. Turner were to ap pear on the scene, I would gladly call on all candidates to clean the track, but so long as this is a mule race, the first ‘scrub’ that entered proposes to run all the way, asking that the pres ident will let all the mules run to a finish strictly on their merits.

Making Crops • Notifying all local boards of the com pletion of transportation arrangements for the mobilization of the men in the special emergency call recently issued, i Major Joel B. Mallett, officer in charge i of the selective service for Georgia, on Saturday sent out detailed instructions covering the entrainment of both white i and colored selectmen between March i 29 and April 1. The detailed schedules, compiled by the association of railroad traffic man agers, w!H be in the hands or the local boards by Monday, thus affording am- I pie time in which to complete final ar rangements for the entrainment of se lectmen from each community. Specific instructions are given the local boards to send the full quota of men allotted by the selective service authorities, regardless of whether this number exceeds the previously an nounced quota, since any excess will be •credited on successive quotas. The white selectman are to be sent to Camp Gordon, while the negroes go to Fort Riley, Kan. Os special importance is the series of instructions regarding the calling of men actually engaged in the production of agricultural crops. Under orders from Washington, Major Mallett In structed the various iocal/boards to de fer the calling of such men until the end of the new quota. Considerable ap prehension'had been caused throughout 1 the sta'.'J over the somewhat Indefinite information regarding the order in which men actively engaged in crop production should be .-ailed. To clear up the situation, Major Mallett wired the local boards, as follows: “The situation arising from the scar city of farm labor demands that the call to the colors of men actively, com pletely and assiduously engaged in planting or cultivation of a crop, but who are in class one and within the new quota, should \ be deferred until the end of the new quota.” Not an Exemption I Major Mallett explains that the fore going order frem the war department . is not an exemption, but that it de fers those inen to the end of the list, and they would not, therefore, be in ducted into service until the other available men had been exhausted, which will not come, under the opinion of Washington, at any time within the I crop year, or likely after it. In the matter of making application for furloughs, as It becomes necessaiy to carry on the farming enterprise of the state, under the Dent bill, the state agricultural department Saturday re ceived a letter .from Senator Hoke Smith, on the subject, in reply to a telegram, in which he says: “I have taken the subject up per sonally with General McCain, the adju tant general. He advises me as fol lows: The secretary of war has not yet issued any instructions of direc tions in pursuance of the recent act of congress as to ho wenllsted men shall proceed to obtain furloughs to engage in civil occupations hnd pursuits. In the meantime, they may apply for fur loughs in the usual way. viz.: through regular military channels at the camp, beginning with the captain of the com pany, to to the division commander, who has full authority to dispose of the case finally. The application should be supported by affidavits showing the necessity of the enlisted man’s services on the farm.” Purpose of Dent Bill There has been some discussion in this state about the purpose of the Dent bill and its provisions in respect to the pay of furloughed men while en gaged ,n farm work. That point was covered in the letter by Secretary of War Newton Baker to Congressman Dent, transmitting the bill which had been approved by Mr. Baker, In which, besides setting out that the bill would leave the matter of pay discretionary with the secretary of war, said: "The main purpose for which it »s Intended to use this authority is to fur lough soldiers in the national army dur ing harvest and planting time to en able them to assist in the agricultural production of the country.” Mr. Baker further said in his letter: “Under the law as it now stands, men would be entitled to pay and allow ances during the period of their ab sence. It is necessary, therefore, to have authority to grant such furloughs without raising a claim against the gov ernment for pay,” which was provided in the bill. . In respect to the matter of men to be called Into the extraordinary allotment for movement beginning the 29th, the fact is cited that men engaged in agri cultural work should file their affidavits with their local boards at .once. Orders covering these points will have reached the local boards by Monday. Minister Sentenced To Serve 15 Years BURLINGTON.

FEBTILIZEH SOLD DIRECT 10 FIRMER 81 UNCLE SAM Middlemen’s Profits Sliced When Government Deals in Nitrate WASHINGTON, March 23.—Uncle Sam is rounding out his first venture as a fertilizer salesman. It has been a success. One hundred thousand tons of nitrate of soda or “Chile saltpeter” were pur chased by the department of agricul ture and sold to farmers at cost —>75.50 per ton, free on board cars at ports of arrival—the farmer paying the railroad freight to his nearest station. The entire amount has been sold — 18.000 tons have been delivered. Three shiploads have arrived, Otie at Charleston, S. C.: one at Wilmington. N. C„ and one at Savannah, Ga. The southeastern states are among the heaviest fertilizer consumers. The war had almost stopped the trade in ni trate. The action of the government met the situation and assures normal crops in the regions dependent on ni trate. It was the first thing of its kind in this country—the first time the govern ment ever sold anything to the farm ers. The last agriculture bill set aaide >10,000,000 for the purpose. The pur chase and distribution of the nitrate was committed to Charles J. Brand, chief of the bureau of markets of the department of agriculture. An agency for distributing the ni trate was set up in eVery county where farmers indicated a wish to buy. The county agent of the agriculture depart ment —or a committee of three promi nent farmers or business men, where there were no agents, was appointed to act as agent for the farmers who filed applications for nitrate. These agen cies collected the applications, forward ed them to Washington, collected the money, when notified that the nitrate had arrived, and received the shipments and paid the freight. The whole organi zation was efficient and cheap. Not a hitch has occurred. The problem of getting ships, which had floored the private interests former ly importing nitrate, was solved through the co-operation of the ship ping board. U-ncle Sam may be in the nitrate busi ness to stay. To get saltpetetr for ex plosives he was driven nearly a year ago to buy his own supplies and bring them from Chile in naval colliers.

ARMY AND MORE SUPPLIES Opposes Hardwick’s Amend ment to Relieve Men From Selective Service as They Become Thirty-One WASHINGTON, March 23.—The sen ate today had under consideration a bill to extend the service age to all men as they become twenty-one years of age. Senator Hardwick offered an amendment relieving from service men as they pass thirty-one. Senator Hoke Smith opposed this latter amendment, aqd among other reasons for his oppo sition stated: “If we are to be content with the army we now have, if» we think the provisions we have employ ed for an army are sufficient, I will agree that the suggestion to free from service men as they reach thirty-one would be sape, but, I think as speedily as possible we should prepare to dou ble the present army. “I hope the committee on military affairs will recognize the fact that the present provision for an army must be doubled, and doubled just as speedily as it can be doubled. “I hope furthermore that the com mittee on military affairs and the sen ate will realize that our provision for arms and our provision for powder and ell o’ur ordnance provisions should be at least doubled and that drive, and force and real administrative powers should be put back of the organization that is to create this supply of ord nance and this increase of fighting men. “i know that in the senate there are men with broad executive experience and administrative capacity and I be lieve it to be the duty of senators with that capacity to keep their eyes open as to what is taking place, and to help to see that our country is speedily pre pared for war under a much more vig orous and much complete condi tion than anything we have up to this time contemplated in our legislation.” Senate Votes Increase In Price of Wheat WASHIGTON, March’ 22.—Increase in the government guaranteed pricey of wheat from >2 to >2.50 per bushel and based upon No. 2 northern wheat at lo cal markets was approved by the sen at elate today.
