Ga was doing = regard to this wheat
less basis. He thought it was all right
that the re- Ile baking at home without
wheat flour must bear the brunt of
wheatless state. He presented no argu-
ment why Oregon should go wheatless
and other parts of the nation sill be on
50-5U basis.
A. w. Shrunk thought it would be
hard on the farmer if he could not use
any OF his wheat while at the same
time those living in or near town could
buy bakers bread.
p. Il. Frazier wanted to know why
,Lbstitutes had suddenly jumped up to
S or 8 cents a pound and thought the
pnce ridiculously high. G. M. Roberts
salo tne only way to keep some people
from getting more than their share
Of wheat flour was to put the nation on
a ration basis rather than wheatless
basis. He did not favor this wheatless
idea. He said if Hoover would say he
wanted no flour sold in the United
States, not grocer in Marion county
would sell a pound.
In regard to the high price of sub
stitutes, Mr.. Churchill said that whole
sale dealers had loaded up with substi-
tutes and until the present stock was
exhausted, there would be little reduc-
tion in price but that it might come
later.
george Custer of Silverton, president
Of the State Retail Grocers' Association
fayoret a wheatless state. The Rev. r.
s, Gill also spoke in favor Of wheat
lcss condition.
One representative remarked that if
,here was just certain amount of ba-
kers bread baked each day, that the
farmer who gets up early would come
to town Saturday mornings and buy his
week S supply before the city folks wire
cut dong their marketing.
Theodore Roth remarked i-a, TIE
wheatless idea would be especially nsrd
GU people since so many people would
come to this community soon to engage
in berry picking and the harvesting of
The fruit crop.
FRED A. SteuSlotf, Marion county
food administrator favored 'wheatless
Oregon until July l. Theodore Roth
thought he was dong equally as well by
suggesting a s5-75 per cent basis un,il
August l, and this was the motion that
finally passed.
All were unanimous in their willing
ness to do the patriotic thing, but there
was decided opposition to putting
Marion county on wheatless basis at
the request OF W. B. Aver of Portland
aud his associates when no request had
come from Hoover at Washington.
Hence the housewife may now order
wheat flour on basis of 25 cents worth
of flour with every rs cents worth Of
Substitutes.
