NEW FLOUR ORDER
EFFECTIVE AT ONCE


All households and public eating
places will use only wheat -four that
is mixed with som, substitute in the
proportion of fo-f pounds Of standard
wheat -four ), one of substitutes II
Victory flour hereafter described, is
purchased and used, no other substi-
lutte there Is lcquirsi But wher'
the standard wheat flour is purchased
then the substitute should be added
before ching cooked.
In addition, the household and eat
ing places are expected to consume
their ordinary amount of corn meal
and other non-wheat cerea Is. The use
of breads and pastries made from
the standard flour alone and then the
ordinary and usual consumption of
corn meal will not be compliance
with this program since its purpose is
to affect a real saving of wheat from
the ordinary consumption.
Victory mixed flour is a -four so
mixed that its purchase relieves the
consumer of purchasing the substi-
-tutes. This flour when being sold will
be so branded and will be labelled
with the ingredients in the order of
their proportion.
Retail Sale of Standard Wheat Flour
These regulations supercede the "fift-
y fifty" rule. Every retailer selling
standard wheat flour is required to
carry in stock either barley flour, corn
meal or corn -four and with every sale
of wheat flour sell in combination Of
one or more of these in the proportion
of o pound of substitute to each four
pounds of wheat flour. No dealer
may force any other substitute in
combination upon the customer, and
these substitutes must conform to the
standards fixed by the United States
Food Administration.
If the customer so demands, the fol-
lowing substitutes may also be sold in
such combination in lieu of the above
fiours at the ration of one pound of
substitute to each four pounds of
wheat flour: kaffr flour, milo flour,
potato flour, sweet potato flour, buck
wheat flour. Pure rice our or meal
may be sold as substitute, but must
be sold in the proportion of at least
two pounds of rice to three pounds of
wheat flour.
Exchange Transactins.-The fore
going rules apply to all custom and
exchange transactions as we'll as sales
of flour to farmers; provided, howev-
er, that farmers having their wheat
exchanged for flour may obtain -four
without the purchase of substitutes
upon the presentation of the toll card
hereafter described.
Limit of Sales.--All limits on guam
tity sales to consumers and supplies
for specified periods for farmers on
exchange transactions are hereby re-
moved. But reliance IS placed on the
substitute rule and our appeal to the
patriotic devotion Of the people to ac-
complish the necessary conservation.
Farmers, who, on exchange trans
action, get supply of flour for sew
eral months, are obliged in the use
thereof to mix at least twenty per
cent of substitutes with it, and also in
addition to consume not less than their
ordinary and usual amount of corn
meal.
Duty of Retailers-Retailers are no
longer obliged to buy substitutes in
purchasing standard wheat flour, but
they must, as provided above, have on
hand at all times supply of the sub
stitutes enumerated and sell to the
customer for the purpose of mixing
with the standard flour purchased, the
required proportion of substitutes.
Mills on Exchange Transactions
On all custom and exchange transac-
tons mills, elevators or grain dealers
must either deliver to the farmerwhole
