CFFICJIL FOOD ElcWS

ey Dr. Harry E. Barnard. Federal Food Administrator for Indiana.

The rr' sost purpose of tho Federal Food A 'rr.lt lair at ion i3 now directed to re or t.ib".;i,hin a normal flow of wheat to the mills, as evidenced by the follow: ' j telegram from Herbert II Oliver; "la crier that wo may comp:y wit'a tho urgent demand of tho allies for wheat end at the pnrue time take care of cur own dcr.iesllc supplies we urgently nerd, this jcar, an earlier anil more complete inarketinK of the whci-t in farmars' hands than usual. Tho alllc3 aro taking from us 50 per cent, of other cereals than wheat to mix In their bread. Inasmuch as the people In allied ; countries and the soldiers must be fed with bread baked In bakeries, it Is impossible for them to prepare bread made wholly out cf otter cereals and we must furnish them with sufficient wheat to maintain their bakery loaf. I therefore appal to nil of th farmers ia tho State of Indiana that they shall bring all of their heat except their necessary re , aerres for seed to market before May 1. This Is & war call and a rrie for Uncle Sain who is fiShting- for his life. If your leca.1 miller is unable to buy all th wheat that is offered, market it In the customary trad channels through which it will reach th 'rood Administration Grain Cor- : joraUau. "HERBERT HOOVER."

U4 Croas buna far Easter con- i Tum?tlon must b without lcins and j aad by the Vlotory recipe which i ,eal!s for minimum of 20 per tent t abitltutM for wheat flour, i

Th waste cf ef either by nnsual consumption or by rendering Ahem Inedible by coloring matter Is

considered unpatriotic, and ia taboc ;

'this year.

Bakers most conform to the Vl Jtery recipe or quit business after March 20. By that time if the required 20 per cent, of substitutes is not available bakers will be forced to quit. In the meantime they are urged to combine the substitutes, which will aorre to remove many cf tho dincultlea that hare been experienced where only one substitute has been used.

I

Modified regulations re'atlye to thai sale of wheat Cour prohibits an ex-1 tension of credit for the purchase of substitutes except at the time and ! in equal quantity of the purchase be In? made.

Paste used for hanging wall paper laust be no better than a very low grade cf wheat flour, which is unfit for bread making. This statement comns ia anticipation of the house cleaning season. Paper hangers who hare always used white wheat flour for paste making must' find soma ether material as wheat flour fit for bread-making is entirely too precious tor such use at this time.

Fanoera who hara been feeding .htai to lire stock on the theory that it ts a more economic practice than feeding corn, are laboring under a misapprehension of the chief statistician. . The United States Food Administration at Washington has tabulated cereal priced S3 follows: Average price Percentage received Increase by farm- Price of

Barley .642

From these figures it is clear that the price of no other grain has adTanced so much respecting net return to the farmer as compared with pre-war conditions, as has that of wheat. Transportation difficulties have operated to create higher prices to the consumer because it has not been possible for the railroads to get

friJii tV primary markets as fast as

the demand for export and domestic could and would have absorbed.
