Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 February 1918 — FARMERS CAN GET WHEAT GROUND AT THE MILL. [ARTICLE]

FARMERS CAN GET WHEAT GROUND AT THE MILL.

A report has been circulated that farmers cannot have their wheat ground. This is an error. No restriction has been placed upon this matter by the government and the grinding can be done for cash or toll just as was the custom before the beginning of the present war. This applies, to wheat, corn, buckwheat, rye and any other grains that a farmer may want ground at the mill. The following paragraph quoted from a circular issued by Herbert Hoover, United States Food Administrator, over his signature and dated Jan. 28, 1918, is the authority for the above statement. Custom Grinding. “Millers may exchange with farmers without insisting on farmers .taking Substitute commodities, but millers are requested to urge farmers, as a patriotic duty, to co-operate in flour conservation by the use of substitutes for wheat flour as indicated in substitution regulations.”
