TO STANDARDIZE BREAD

| fnOen1X, Doc. S,-l ne OII1C0
 of the Arizona Food Admins tration is working out pans for the enforcement of the rules
 and regulations to be placed in effect December 10th, when
 every bakery in the state using more than ten barrels of flour a month will be placed under Government control.
 In explaining the scope of the new regime and its application to the bakers of Arizona, Tim othy A. Riordan, head of the i State Food Administration said,
 Standardization of bakers bread throughout the nation was the first aim of the Presi- dents proclamation placing the bakeries under federal license. And the object of standardiza- tion is to reduce the cost of pub lie baking and distribution, to reduce the waste of flour and to limit the use of sugar and lard in the preparation of bakery bread. By fixing the unit of weight at one pound and with a standardized price of four the present differences in quality will tend to vanish and for the period of the war competition will be reduced to matter of price and service.
 tThere is nothing harsh or unjust in any of these regula- tions in that all are placed on the same plane. Some of the regulations imposed call for the very things which the bakers have long desired but were pre- vented from adopting because of competition. For instance investigations show that a large portion of returned stale bread for which the retailer was cred ited was actually destroyed and that amount of good wheatfour lost to the nation in this one it. em has amounted to more than a half a million barrels annual ly."
 The general rules which will go into effect in Arizona with the licensing of the bakeries summarized are aimed to pre- vent:
 L. Movement of goods to the consumer in any but the most direct line possible and with minimum delay.
 D. Licensees dealing in food commodities for the purpose of creating monopoly.
 B. The destruction of bakery products or the commission of other waste.
 A. The return of stale bread or crediting the retailer for un- sold bakery products.
 B. The manufacture of bread in 16 or 24 ounce units or multiples thereof.
 In view of an apparena mis- understanding it was stated all applications for licenses should De made direct to the C. s. Food Administratin, License Division, Legal Department, Washing on, D. C..

food production program a program which must be carried out if we are to win the war.
 The meat supply available for European use is short. Meat must be supplied if the war is won-by the forces who fight for freedom. The war will be won if we fail in food produc- tion-but not won by us. We must understand what will hap pen if we do not provide the enormous quantities of food stuffs that the Allies can not produce for themselves.
 Are we going to feed our Army on chickens and eggs? Of course not. But by greatly increasing our production of chickens and eggs, and by eat ing those chickens and eggs ourselves we will, naturally, eat that much less beef and pork. In turn, that beef and pork can be sent to Europe.
 The United States Depart ment of Agriculture calls upon the country to double poultry production next year. That can be done if the farms will keep an average of 100 hens instead of an average of 40 hens, as at present, and if every family in town will keep enough hens in the backyard to produce all the eggs used by that family,-or two hens to each person.

CAN DOUBLE THE MA
 TONS MEAT SUPPLY

Poultry must be produced next year in places where it has not been produced before, and everywhere that poultry has been produced that production must be increased. It is neces- sary that people in the country and in the towns answer alike to this call. Farms and back yards must both do their bit, for the doubling of our poultry production next year is an in dispensible item in the Nations
