IN 50-50 PLAN

PROGRAM.
POST CARDS IN STORES.
Explain New Wheat Ruling to
Thousands of Customers—ln
sures Greater Food Saving.
Grocers of the nation have accepted
enthusiastically the 50-00 basis for the
purchase of wheat flour and are doing
their utmost to explain the new regu
lation to the housewife. This ruling by
the U. S. Food Administration requires
each purchaser of wheat flour to buy
one pound of cereal substitute, one
kind or assorted, for every pound of
wheat flour. It was necessary to re
strict the use of wheat flour In order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured of an ade
quate supply of wheat to meet their
vital needs. This supply must come
from our savings because we have al
ready sent our normal surplus.
Wheat saving pledge cards were for
warded by the Food Administration to
all retail food merchants, and these
are being signed and posted In stores
throughout the country. This card
states, “We pledge ourselves loyally to
carry out the Food Administration pro
gram. In accordance with this order
we will not sell any wheat flour except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight of one or more of the following,
a greater use of which In the home
will save wheat:
“Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn
starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour,
potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy
bean flour, feterita flour and meals,
rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and
buckwheat flour."
Some confusion has resulted on the
part of the consumer In construing
this “50-50" ruling to mean thaf an
equal amount In value of substitutes
must be purchased with wheat flour.
This Is n mistaken Idea. The ruling
states that the consumer In purchasing
flour shall “buy at the same time an
equal weight of other cereals.”
One exception to this ruling Is con
cerning graham flour and whole wheat
flour, which may he sold at the ratio
of three pounds to five pounds of
wheat flour. This provision Is made
because approximately 25 per cent
more of the wheat berry Is used in the
manufacture of these flours than stand-
ard wheat flour.
Another exception Is that concern
ing mixed flours containing loss than
60 per cent, of wheat flour, which uiay
be sold without substitutes. Ketailers,
however, are forbidden to sell mixed
flours containing more than 50 per
cent, of wheat flour to any person un
less the amount of wheat flour substl
tntes sold Is sufllclent to make the to
tal amount of substitutes. Including
those mixed in flours, equal to the to
tal amount In wheat flour In the mixed
flour. For Instance, If any mixed flour
Is purchased containing 60 per cent
wheat flour and 40 per cent substi
tutes It Is necessary that an additional
20 per cent of substitutes be pur
chased. TJils brings It to the basis of
one pound of substitutes for each
pound of wheat flour.

Containing flour where the necessity Is
* ~
l r "Some misunderstanding seems to ex
ist on the part of consumers In assum
ing that with the purchase of wheat
Hoar one must confine tho addiUonal
■OO per cent, purchase to one of the
substitutes. This Is not the case. One
may select from the entire range of
substitutes a sufllclent amount of each
to bring the total weight of all substi
tutes equal to the weight of the wheat
flour purchased. For instance, if a
purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour
Is made a range of substitutes may be
selected as follows:
Commeal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4
pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 2
pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hominy,
2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds.
These substitutes may be used in
the following manner:
Cornmeal, 8 Pounds.—Corn bread, no
flour; corn mufllns or spoon bread,
one-fourth flour or one-third rice or
one-third hominy; 20 per cent substi
tutes In whole bread.
Com Starch, 1 Pound.—Thickening
gravy, making custard, one-third sub
stitute in cake.
Cora Grits, 4 Pounds.—Fried like
■rash, used with meal lu making corn
bread.
Boiled Oats, 3 Pounds.—One-fourth
to one-third substitutes In bread, one
half substitute in muffins; breakfast
porridge, use freely; oatmeal cookies,
oatmeal soup.
Buckwheat Flour, 2 Pounds.—One
fonrth substitute In bread, buckwheat
cakes.
Hominy, 2 Pounds. —Boiled for din
ner, baked for dinner, with cheese
sauce.
Rice, 4 Pounds. —One-fourth substi
tute in wheat bread, one-third substi
tute In corn bread, boiled for dinner (a
bread cut), as a breakfast food, to
thicken soups, rice pudding Instead of
cake or pie, rice batter cakes
Several grocers have stated that
their customers who strictly observe
the 11 wheatless meals each week And
It necessary to buy substitutes In ad
flltloD to those ordered under the 60-
10 plan.

U. S. Must Cut Use
Of Wheat by One-Half
America Consumed 42,000,000 Bushels Monthly.
From Now Until Harvest Must Use
Only 21,000,000.
RATION PER PERSON IS 1J POUNDS
OF WHEAT PRODUCTS WEEKLY
Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here—Allied War
Bread Must Re Maintained—Our Soldiers and
Sailors to Have Full Allowance.
If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor
tion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the
next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce
our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month, as
against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels,
or 50 per cent, of our normal consumption. This is the situa
tion as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washing
ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for
special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately
iy 2 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 proportion of wheat products
than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and
navy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat
products than can the poor. In addition, our population in
the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun
dant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these
other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations.
With improved transportation conditions we now have avail
able a 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 supply of these grains.
To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall he observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
a total of IV4 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 clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday aud Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuff's, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
of more than two ounces of wheat
flour. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than 6lx pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con
forming with the limitations requested
of the householders.
8. 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 an equal
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of the 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 purchases beyond 70 per

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
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
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 cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large a pro
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be abla to
make the wheat exports that are ab
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera
tion of the public by a further limita
tion of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and co-operation of the distributing
trades.
