a certificate as to the number of
pounds Of meal ground. This GER
tificate is then filed with the grocer.
and thereupon the farmer can buy
an equal weight of -four, but in no
case in excess of one-half barrel.
This relieves the only difficulty
that has been encountered in South
Carolina.
There has been no objection
whatsoever to the reduction in con-
sumption of -four, and the farmer
has been patriotically ready to re-
duce his consumption Of -four, but
he very naturally did not desire to
buy more of what he already had an
abundance in his home.
Blanks were mailed to the county
food administrators Tuesday after
noon for distribution to millers. The
miller should apply to the county
food administrator of his county for
the blanks.

FARMERS RELIEVED OF
BUYING SUBSTITUTES
III They Have Meal and Other Food
stuffs On Hand They Need Not
Buy With Flour.

The national food administration
has given authority for a modifica-
ton of the pound-for-pound law in
order to give relief to the farmer in
South Carolina who has his own
corn ground locally. Much dissat-
isfaction has been caused among
farmers. who felt that it was un-
reasonable to ask them to buy north
ern or western meal when they had
their own home-ground meal which
they could use. There was no pro-
test concerning reduction of the
consumption of -four. but simply
that the farmer did not wish to
buy meal from his store when he
had better meal or grits at home.
Under the new rule the farmer
can have his corn ground by miller
who will give him a certificate. This
certificate must be filed with the
grocer by the farmer, whereupon
he can buy an equal amount of flour,
not in excess of half barrel.
This plan was recommended by
practically the unanimous vote of
the county food administrators at
their meeting in Columbia on the
4th inst, and has been advocated by
large number of prominent people
having knowledge of conditions in
South Carolina
The national administration was
by wire Immediately consulted about
1t. and on Saturday gave it's consent
to the plan. For the information of
county food administrators and
food representatives over this state
millers, and farmers, the following
is description OF the procedure nee
essary for farmers to obtain flour
upon miller's certificate.
The farmer takes his corn to the
mill and has it ground. He signs a
certificate which the millers will
have, stating number in his family
or tenants for which he buys, the
amount of flour he has on hand: and
agreeing to use in his household
equal weights of -four and substi.
tutes. Thereupon the miller signs
