NEW REGULATIONS
 OF WHEAT THAT MAY
 BE USED BY M|[LERS
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-New regula tions prescribing the amount of wheat to be used by millers of the United States in manufacturing flour, detail- ing the manner in which the prices of mill feeds shall be determined and which are calculated to effect a saving of more than sixteen million bushels of wheat during the present crop year were announced here today by the mill- ing division of the federal food ad- ministration.
 The establishment of maximum prices for mill feeds relative to the cost of wheat is expected to result in a marked reduction in their price and it is hoped this will operate to lower the price of milk and other dairy products.
 Increasing difficulties of transpor- tation,' and the uncertainty of the fu- ture' emphasize the importance of pro Viding surpluses of wheat against sfu- ture needs and constitute the reasons for the new regulations, a statement issued by the milling division says, Agricultural reports indicating the har- vesting of large quanties of all kinds of cereals during the present crops de- termined the present as the proper time-''a time of plenty"-in which measures should be taken to safe guard future needs, it states, adding proceeding on this theory. the food administration is bending every effort to effect a maximum saving in wheat products to the end that ample SUD- plies may be available for home war and allied requirements
 Restrictions imposed by the new rul- ings, it is declared. will not seriously

tions, II added, should not be DELAYED
until late summer or autumn. and fam
lily gardens should be planned to supply
ample quantities of early maturing

necessary in household preservation of
