Custom And Exchange Grinding O?
Wheat.

W!sS4La
It has long been the custom for farm
ers bringing In their own wheat to
receive In exchange their annual sup
ply OF G0ur. Nothing il the present
Food Administration regulations pre-
vents the ccutinua ton % this custom
except thst the general wheat conserve
ton rules require wheat flour TO be
delivered only With che pound Of sub
stitutes FOR each four pounds Of wheat
-four.
Such substitutes cannot always be-
handled by small country mills, and
years supply OF some of the substitutes
is likely to spoil.
Furthermore, many farmers grow
their own substitutes, and it is not
desired In this case 10 force them to
buy other substitutes, provided that
proper compliance With the Food Ad-
ministration program can be obtained
without this requirement.
Under these circumstances, It has
been considered desirable to permit
the sale and delivery Of -four without
substitutes to farmers VINO are willing
to pledge a strict compliance with the
program OF the Food Administration in
the terms CT the pledge form attached.
Farmers who are unwilling to sign
these pledges may still obtain wheat
-four on the sans basis as other indi-
v!duals by Duro! e in the market.

1.-THE wholesaler and retailer shall
distribute sugar eIuitabfy among his
customers 30 that no one Of such
customers receives more than his fair
share OF the sugar which may then
be available for distribution.
He shall not delivet from the 1st to
the 18th day Of any month, nor from

oense Regulations XI1B-4(b), effective
Oct. Is, 1918.
It is estimated that under the
above ruling approximately G0O,0G0,000
pounds Of sugar will be saved per
year, because 1t will prevent any one
from obtaining more than two pounds
OF sugar d month. Undor the Old
rule, many persons purchased On the
basis Of a half pound per capita per
week, giving two pounds as an allow
snce for every four weeks. This would
give only 4S weeks, Of $50 days, to the
year, leaving practically one month for
sugar to be provided on the per capita
basis Of two pounds. With popuia-
ton of los, 100000, this would require
an additional 210,0o0,000 pounds Of
sugar.
