No corn can be shipped across the Atlantic for two months after the first of April, because that is the germinating season for corn and it will not stand shipment. Now, in this period of extreme difficulty in Europe, the - time when the morals of the civil population of our Allies is at its lowest ebb, it does not stand for us to say, “You can wait two months and then you can eat corn.” It is for us to say, “You shall receive every solitary grain of wheat that our ports can handle.”

For God's Sake Save Wheat The surplus of the‘l9l7 American wheat crop was shippped to the Allies before December 1, last. To supply the needs of our boys in France and the needs of the Allies we must ship 100,000,000 bushels more by June 1. We haven’t got it to ship unless we save it off of our own tables. The Food Administration says “EAT ALL OF THE OTHER CEREALS THAT YOU MAY NEED BUT SAVE THE WHEAT.” The need for wheat is the most pressing food problem for the next two months. Get along without any wheat at all if you can, but use at least an equal amount of these authorized substitutes in accordance with the 50-50 Food Administration rule: Corn Meal Corn Grits Sweet Potato Flour Hominy Edible Com Starch Barley Flour Rolled Oats Soya Bean Flour Potato Flour Corn Flour Buckwheat Flour Oat Meal Rice Flour Rice GRAHAM AND WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR ARE NOT SUBSTITUTES—Their purchase requires six-tenths of a pound of substitutes with every pound. Rye Flour is not a substitute but does not require any substitute in its purchase.
