Esa.aED From BIG HOTELS
WHEAT GOES TO THE WAR

Baltimore.-Over a ton of -four a
month Is released for war service by
one of Baltimore's leading hotels be
cause It will no longer admit ex-King
Wheat as q guest under its roof. Els
former room is now occupied by Citi-
Gems Corn, Rice and Potato. The for
mer Autocrat of the Dinner Table was
banned here after Herbert Hoover
showed how absolutely necessary 1t
was that, practically without exemp-
ton, the whole Wheat Family should
be drafted for military work In
France.
Under the present regulations, no
tells are allowed to use twenty-four
ounces of -four for every twenty-one
meals served. Several members OF
the Hotelmen's Association, however,
observing the whole spirit and not
merely the letter Of the law, have in
augurated read "wheatless days-
days truly without wheat and seven
Of them to the week. AL their wheat
L. OF to the war.
How many q mickle makes a
muckle" is shown in typical case
that Of the Southern Hotel. Instead
of serving the permissible average OF
Just over an ounce Of wheat TO each
meal, none Is served at all. Take a
thousand meals day, multiply by
seven, and the total saving is just five
hundred pounds a week. So the
amount released for the United States
Army and the Allies works out at
exactly one ton month.
Pledges have been asked by both
the Federal and State Food Admin
istrators for total abstinence from
wheat by all the hotels, restaurants,
clubs, and dining cars in Maryland.
The promise wiN be voluntary, but
when they all fall into line hundreds
of additional barrels Of -four will be
added to the visible evidence Of this
States patriotism. And from now till
next harvest every pound will count.
In asking the hotels to take this
step, the Food Administrator counts
a lot upon the example they will give
to those who have most of their meals
at home Every kitchen from which
wheat bread Is banished In favor of
biscuits and quick breads-for which
the War Food Bureau, Lexington
Building, Baltimore, viii supply
recipesIs doing work comparable to
that of the munition factory. Both
are backing our boys with the weap:
ems that win.
Hotels which cut out all wheat are
said to be "clean" A campaign ia
now on to see how many Of this
States homes are willing to under.

POOR TRRlL SIZING COSTS
|. MILLIONS OF BUSHELS

Washington (SpeciaD.-A new &C.
tivity of the Food Administration
that of planning to save wheat and
other small grains at their source by
cleaner threshing, is announced to
have been adopteS by the Food Ad-
ninistration. According to estimates,
the preventable loss of grain amounts
to more than three bushels in
every hundred bushels threshed.
This amounts, it is believed, can bel
saved "for human consumption by
more careful methods and better me-
chanical condition of threshing out
Ats"
= The announcement Of the Food Ad-
ministration of new grain-threshing
division is as follows:
"In cases of conspicuously poor
threshing nearly 10 per cent. Of the
grain has, in the past, gone into the
straw stack. Last fall many farmers
in the Central West Refreshed old
wheat stacks, and recovered large
quantities Of markets BILE grain.
"The special division has already
arranged. under the Grain Corpora
ton, to have county threshing COM
mittees carry the educational and
mechanical activities planned to
every .threshing machine owner and
operating crew In the United States.
A typical county threshing committee
will consist of the county Food Ad-
ministrator, the county agricultural
agent, and retired thresherrnan rep
resenting the state Of local Council OF
Defense.
Each committee will maintain ope-
headquarters and devote attention
to threshing operations within the
county, endeavoring, through mechan-
ical assistance and emphasis of meth
DDS of conservation, to secure high
quality of work"
Other activities of the grain thresh-
ing division and it's branches include
plans for insuring prompt repair serv-
ice, cooperation with the Department
Of Labor and with the Fuel Admins.
tration for securing adequate amounts
of labor end engine fuel. The Ma
tional Implement and Vehicle Assoc.a
ton has already pledged It's co-opera-
ton, and with the hearty response
now being received from other
branches OF industry and agriculture
large saving of food is expected.

GARDEN ENTRIES POUR IN.

GAHpEN ENTRIES FOUR IN.
SO many entries have been received
for the Maryland $4,000 Win-the-War
Produce Contest that the Food Admin
istration may be compelled to set an
early date for receiving the final en-.
tries. Otherwise, particularly in the
war-garden classes e and F, there
might be difficulty for the county
judges In examining fully the claims
for prizes by competitors enter now.
There are twenty small prizes for
each county running from S75 to sac,
split evenly between war gardens Of
over and under one-half care. The
total value OF these prizes 10 $500 10
each county, or $11,500 for the State,
not including the two Maryland cham
pionships, $500 for q class and $500
for F, which bring the sum Of garden
prize money UP to $4,000. In some Of
the early pamphlets issued the num-
Der of SO prizes appears as ten in
each class instead Of five. The totals,
however, are correctly given.
1t Is essential towards winning the
war that Americas food production
be increased to the highest possible
degree. From tho way in which Mary
lands $25,000 Contest Is taking on,
there can be small doubt but THAI tha
donor OF this splendid prize fund win
