HELP IN 5O-5Q WHEAT PROGRAM Thousands of Retail Grocers Sup- port Food Administration
 Rules.
SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY.
New Wheat Saving Program Demand ed Allied Food Shortage h. creases-America Must
 Feed Fighters.

Explaining the United States Food ulatons is q war time task the Ameri- can grocer has gladly shouldered Many stores are already displaying their Food Administration wheat say ing pledge cards, that they have sign ed, agreeing to carry out the new wheat program.
 Each flour customer Is now requir- ed to buy one pound of cereal substi- ute for every pound of wheat flour. The substitute may be of one kind Or assorted. This 5O-30 sale is made by weight aEd not by value of the con- modities. There is, of course, no reg. ulation demanding the consumer to buy wheat flour at all.
 A wide variety of substitutes has been provided: Cornmeal, corn flour, edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, SOya bean four Feterita flour and meals, rice, rice four oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
 Graham and whole wheat flour con- stitute an exception to the national regulation. Either of these comlSodi- ties may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat hyur- that is, five pounds of graham or wheat flour counts the same as three pounds of the usual wheat flour.
 Mixed Hours form another excep- ton. Where any flour contains 50 per cent. or less of wheat it may be sold without any substitutes. Where the flour is mixed at the rate of 60 per cent. wheat and 40 per cent. of other ingredients an additional 20 per cent. of substitutes must be purchased by the consumer
 Where necessity is shown specially prepared infants and invalid's food containing flour may be sold
 That the approved substitutes may be assorted Is fact many grocers and housewives overlooked for a time. For instance, if customer wishes to buy 24 pound sack of flour the nec- essary substitutes might be assorted as follows: Cornmeal, pounds; corn grits. f pounds; rice, pounds; buck wheat, , pounds; cornstarch, l pound hominy, ? pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds.
 None of the substitutes should be considered as waste purchase. There are many household uses for each. The eight. pounds of cornmeal can be made into cornbread, corn muf- fins CT used ill the baking of wheat bread.
 Cornstarch is useful in making cus- tard, thickening gravy. or may be used in cake baking. Corn grits fried like mush forms delicious dish, or it may be used in baking corn bread. Rolled oats are used largely as breakfast DOT ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in making mullins.
 Buckwheat flour may be used in bread making, forming an excellent substitute for One-qIarter of the wheat flour, but is especially choice in the form of buckwheat cakes for breakfast
 With II wheatless meals needed each week in America to provide enough wheat for the allies, the Food Administration believes the substitutes will all be used to advantage.

USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made further increased demands on us for breadstuffs - demands that Americans are obligated to meet.
 In the meantime America's meat supply has been greatly increased for some months to come by the unprecedented shipping to market of hogs that averaged 232 pounds each fn- stead of POS pounds-the nor mal.
 The United States Food Ad- ministration, endeavoring to ad. just the international food bal ance, promptly removed certain restrictions in this country on the use of meat and at the same time asked for smaller con- sumption of breadstuffs.
 We are asked to observe only one meatless day each week Tuesday. We will have larger meat stocks for awhile. But our bread ration must be held to a minimum.
 In altering it's food conserva- ton program the Food Admin istration emphasizes that the food situation is of necessity, subject to radical changes, caused by crop conditions at home and abroad and by the precarious transportation prob' lem, both in overseas shipping and in Americas overburdened transportation system.
 The Food Administration will keep the American people fully and frankly advised of each change in the developing situa. tion that they may know defi- nitely the part their food sac rifices play in the world war.
