GERMANY TRIES
TO CONSERVE
FOOD SUPPLY

ROME. Nov. ib.--fBy Mall 10 New
YorkJ-The federal council Of Ger
many has adopted rigorous meas
ureA for conserving Germany
cereal supply during the present
war. according TO adyices here.
Statistics Just completed by ex'
perts establish that on the basis
now provided for. Germany will
have no difficulty In getting along
until next years crops are har-
vested
One OF the new measures enacted
by the federal council provides that
all millers shall grind wheat 10 the
extent that rs per cent OF II becomes
flour. This does away with the
waste that ensues In the grinding
OF fine qualities OF flour.
All bakers are ordered 10 mix
with wheat flour at least 10 per
cent OF rye flour.
Five per cent OF potatoes must
also be mixed In bread made ex-
ciuslyely OF rye flour. and this may
even he Increased up 10 20 pei
cent.
The feeding 10 animals OF grains
which can be made Into bread has
also been prohibited
Owing to the fact that the potato
supply is somewhat short this year
restrictive measures have been
taken 10 conserve them. The use
OF potatoes IN the making Of spirits
IL limited 10 80 per cent OF the usual
amount.
To prevent spectators and 9th.
ers from Withdrawing grain from
the market In order 10 hold IL for
higher prices. a number OF measures
have been enacted permitting the
government to appropriate all such
grain
OF barley there IL plenty for the
army, and no restrictions have been
placed on It's consumption.
