the 50-50 rule. The retail dealer
selling standard wheat flour is re-
quired to carry in stock either bar
ley flour, corn meal or corn flour
and with eve-y sale of wheat flour
must sell a combination of some
one or more of these in the proper
ton of one pound substitutes to
each four pounds of wheat flour. |
No dealer may force any other sub
stitutes in combination upon the
consumer and the substitutes must |
conform to the standards fixed by
the United States Food Administra-
ion.
"There are some localities where
other substitutes are available and
which retailers may wish to carry.
In order to meet this situation the
following flours may also be sold
in such combinations in lieu of the
above flours if the consumer so de-
nands at the ratio of one pound to
each four pounds wheat flour; that
is kaffir flour, milo flour, feterita
flour and meals, rice flour, oat flour,
peanut flour, bean flour, potato
flour, sweet potato flour and buck
wheat flour. Pure rye flour or
