«AHIm Must Have Wheat Enough Wa
Maintain Thalr War Irssl
TUI Next Harvest.
If we are ta furnish the allies with
the necessary proportion of wheal to
maintain their war bread from now
until the next harvest, and thia is
military necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to 21,000,000
bushels a month as against our nor
mal consumption of about 42,000,000
bushels, or GO per cent, of our normal
consumption, lids Is the situation as
set forth by the U. S. Food Adminis
tration at Washington, Reserving
margin for distribution to the army
and for special cases, leaves for gen
eral consumption approximately lVfc
pounds of wheat products weekly per
person, the Food Administration's
statement continues: Muny of our
consumers are dependent upon bnkers'
bread. Such bread must be durable
and therefore requires a larger propor
tion of wheat products tliun 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 saerlSces 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 bread*
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 tbs
spring months a surplus of milk, and
w* have ample corn and oata for hu
man consumption. The drain on rya
and barley as substitutes baa alraady
greatly exhausted the supply of them
grains
To effect the needed saving of wheat
wa are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
C ple and we ask that the following
t* shall he observed:
1. Householder* to uae not to exceed
a total of 1H pounds per week of
wheat products per persos. This
means not more than pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
tag/ of substitutes and one-half
und of cooking flour, macaroni,
kern, pastry, pise, cakes wheat
breakfast cereals all combined.
‘ 2 Public eating places and club* ta
•bases* two wbeatless days per week,
H*nda£ »d Wednesday, ssjtt present
In addition thereto, not to aiervs Co
any ona guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs macaroni,
crackers, pastry, plea, cakes wheat
breakfast cereals containing a total
of mofe than two ounces of wheat
flour. Ho wheat product* to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy mors
than alx pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con
forming with tha limitations requested
of the householders
3. Ratellers to aell not mors than
one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any
town customer at any ona time and
not more than one-quarter of a barrel
ta any country customer at any on*
tints and In no case to aell wheat
products without the sale of as equal
weight of other cereals
S We ask the bakers and grocers to
(educe the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of th* three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
la other weights We also ask bakers
not to Increase the amount of tbelr
wheat flour purchase* beyond 70 per
cent of the average monthly amount
purchased In the four rnontb* prior to
March L
G. 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, at
ceters
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 tio reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the uae of
leas 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 he able to
make tbe wheat export* that are ab
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of th*
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 dp distribution
which will he adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as poaalhle. Wlth'the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrict Iona. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation of th* distributing
trades.
