FOOD FACTS 1
PREPARED BY
The Federal Food Admin¬
istration For Georgia
More American Corn Being Used.
Interesting information just receiv¬
ed by Dr. A. M. Soule, through Wash
fngton, from the foodstuffs reports
from abroad, is that there is now a
constantly increasing use of American
com for food abroad.
England and France knew compar¬
atively nothing of the human food
value of “maize” before the war and,
until recently, had begun to learn but
slowly how and when and why to use
it. The people of those countries,
(hough, are finding its place in the
every-day diet and in the course of
time there will be more and more call
for corn as that knowledge becomes
more widespread.
This is hut. one more of the many
reasons why the South, and particu¬
larly Georgia, must give better atten¬
tion to a larger production of corn
than has been in the past years.
Reducing City Flour Quantities.
From the office of the Federal Food
Administration for Georgia there is
now going out a request to all retail
merchants that they increase their ef
forts to bring about a still further con¬
servation of flour among iheir patrons
They are asked not only to hold their
sales to 24 and 48 pound packages, but
to use their influence with customers
to take the 24-pound package when
they call for 48, and try to get through
with that. In the same request is the
further plea that they get in behind
the conservation of sugar and adhere
ancl 10 ;P°und packages, an
do all they can to pursuade individual
purchases to come under 10 pounds at
a time.
Let Potatoes “Save the Wheat.”
“The best thing we can offer to the
public to help the country SAVE THE
^ HEAT is potatoes,” so runs an ad
vertisement of a dealer. It is a good
“ad” and interprets today’s needs.
Potatoes are universally liked. There
is still a large supply on hand in
Georgia that must be used or go to
waste. Now is the time to use them
while the ban on meat is lifted for a
while. Back up savory stews with am¬
ple servings of potatoes and cut down
on bread.
Potatoes are an acceptable substitute
fpr brea(3 A pound of baked potatoes
j K equal in nutritive value to seven
ounces of bread. Join the “Wheat
Savers’ League.” Use the perishable
potato as a wheat and as a bread sub¬
stitute.
In the present food crisis all cereals
are precious; they will keep and the
potatoes won’t. As an emergency meas¬
ure increase potatoes the use of potatoes.
Serve boded In jacket,
creamed, hash-browned, and don’t for¬
get the baked potato. The famflv will
cat well cooked potatoes instead of
bread. In some of the London hotels,
potatoes are served with meat without
additional cost if no bread Is ordered.
The suggestion is good. If you eat two
baked potatoes you will not eat much
bread.
Must Not Back-Order Substitutes,
Complaint comes to the Federal
Food Administra’or for Georgia that
wholesale dealers in some instances
are shipping flour to retail dealers and
hack-ordering the requisite substitutes.
This action not only is disapproved,
but is a violation and the administra¬
tion announce-: that if substitutes are
not in stock wheat.flour should not bo
delivered until the requisite substitutes
are available.
