Wilson Favors

Won't Use Any Part of 1t

Washington, April 96.-President
Wilson, in a letter to Arthar Brls-
bone. of Ne,o York, announced to-
day his position ON censorship. He
wrote:

of your interesting letter Of April 20

sge bill now awaiting action Of the
Congress.

opposnr the government programme
more drastic steps may be taken. nc
Department of Agriculture has asked
Congress for authority to license all
food manufacturing plants, and If TINS
is granted the department can compel
millcrs TO follow the whole wheat pro-
gramme.
Meantime the department is sending
broadcast 10 bakers and housekeepers
instructions for whole wheat and mixed
flour breadmaking. One Of the most ei.
fectivc economies that can be practised
bv tho housewife. the officials say, IS
tho use Of mixed whole wheat -four and
cornmcal.
Cornmeal rs a substitute for pota-
toes is also being urged by government,
food cxpcrts. A pound of cornmca'
providcs about five times rs much BODY
fuel and tissue building protein as does
a mound Of raw potatoes, and ut current
prices costs from one-thlrd to one
sixth as much. Rice is also recommend
ed as a potato substitute. The depart
ment will supply housekeepers on re-
ouost with cornmeal and rice cooking
recipes.

Preparedness Begins
In Your Own Garden

by hand wedding Small implements
arc made for this purpose and may
be purchased cheaply. 1t is we'll. also,
in some cases to pull up weeds by
hand, especially where they grow
closely about the stalks Of the gar-
den plants.
Just as the gardener should be care
full in early spring not to dig the
ground when the soil is too moist. so
he should be careful later in the sea-
Son not to cultivate too soon after
rains The stirring Of very muddy soil
pudd!es it into a compact, cement-like
mass, in which the plant food is Sc
curely locked. The garden will require
attention, however, as soon as the eX-
cess moisture from a rain has soaked
in or partially evaporated. Unless the
ground is stirred at this time a crust
will form almost inevitably. Such a
crust, besides restricting the plants,
prevents the access of air, and also
facilitates the loss of moisture through
evaporation.
When, during prolonged dry spells,
the plants give evidence of suffering
because of the lack of moisture, water
must, if possible. be supplied artih-
cially. Sprinkling should be done late
in the afternoon. 1t is not SUFFICIENT
merely to dampen the surface; a
thorough wetting should be given. A
more satisfactory and more economical
method of irrigation is to open small
burrows between the rows Of growing
plants and to supply water in these
bitches from a hose or pipe. Several
hours after the water has soaked IN
the dry earth should be drawn back
into place.

u. S. May Compel
All Millers to
Conserve Grain
Experts Urge That Output
Be Restricted to Whole
Wheat Flour

Washington. April 26.-The Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture may compel -four
mills to restrict their output to whole
wheat products during the war as a
food conservation measure. Secretary
Houston has brought this economy
measure 10 the attention Of Congress.
pointing out that by milling -four so
that the whole grain is used lS,OOOOOO
barrels OF -four would be added 10 the
country's supply. The department also
has made representations direct TO the
milling interests.
The only concern to accept the de-
partments proposal was the American
Flour and Cereal Mills, of Minneapolis,
which has agreed to conilne ITS operT-
ations altogether TO whole wheat MILL
ing and TO turn out 600 barrels a day.
Some millers assert that the whole
wheat product is inferior as food. The
Department OF Agriculture declares
that it is more nutritive than the highly
milled -four, and points to the fact that
the British government has already re-
quired whole wheat milling.
Milling restrictions have been dis
cussed between Secretary Houston and
Alan Anderson, member Of the visiting
British commission and chairman Of
the Allied Wheat Executive Committee,
which purchases and imports all wheat
for Great Britain, France and Italy.
The British expert. it is stated, favors
compulsory whole wheat milling.
Plans for controlling the milling stu
alton arc under consideration by the
Council of National Defence. 1t IS
probable that the council viii make
patriotic appeal to millers within few
weeks. If the -four interests persist in

VIII Appeal 10 Whitman
At meeting of the Mayors Execu-
tive Committee on Food Conservation,
held at the Knickerbocker Hotel in the
afternoon, it was agreed TO 90 before
Governor Whitman early next week
and endeavor to bring together all the
food bodies in the state.
A committee then will be appointed
under the plans of this body, to go to
Washington and ask President Wilson
and Secretary of Agriculture Houston
that steps be taken to place a minimum
price upon all staples.
Members said such action should be
taken to guarantee the. farmers against
loss in raising greatly increased crops

New York to Lose
Six-Cent Bread
After This Week
Bakers Will Manufacture
Only 10 and IS Cent
LoaveS
New Weights Ready
Small Dealers Hurry to Take
Advantage Of Big Firms
Ruling
New Weights Ready

This is the last week OF the siN-cent
loaf of bread in New York City. Re
ginning Monday morning. the house
wife may choose between l'-ounee
loaf for DO or the 24-ounce loaf for 10
cents.
The Ward Baking Company informed
its customers yesterday that the T.
ounce Ioaycs would be discontinued
after Sunday and the new 10 cent size
substituted. The General Baking Com
pany will Join in he change, its presi-
dent W. II. Collins, indicated and
will announce its new prices tomorrow.
John f. Hldebrandt. head Of the
Shuts Bread Company. said it had
rot been determined whether his firm
win shift from the TO the 10 cent
loaf. or bake an intermediate size to
sell for cents
f. B. Keirstcad, president Of the
Fairbanks Baking Company, said he be-
neved his trade would favor an 5
cent loaf. after which Will come the
10 cent size.
The small bakers welcomed the
Ward announcement and will be quick
TO fall in line. As one explained, the
only thing that has kept many small
concerns in business is the knowledge
that the large firms would have to raise
their prices as soon as their reserve
stocks of -four. bought before the
Price went to Sl4 a barrel, were eN-
hausted. Yesterday there were reports
that some retailers advanced the price
of bread on their shelves as soon as
they received notice Of the increase by
the large manufacturers.
Restaurants and hotels arc hit by the
advance, and the prediction was made
by one baker for the wholesale trade
that more eating places VIII make an
extra charge for bread.
Rcstaurateurs buy their bread m
special sizes. The J. cent loaf will be
II cents. the - cent loaf IS cents, The
IS cent loaf "a cents. the % cent loaf
