New Wheat Saving Program Demand

Explaining the United States Food
Administration new $3.50 wheat reg.
ulations is war time task the Amerl.
can grocer has gladly sbouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat saw
Ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing TO carry out the new
wheat program. ---.----~~--~<~s-~
Each -four customer IL now reqnir-
ed To buy one pound Of cereal substi-
tute for every pound. OF wheat -four.
The substitute may be Of one kind or
assorted. This $3.50 sale Is made by
weight and not by value OF the COM
modlties There Is, OF course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer TO
buy wheat -four at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal. corn -four.
edible cornstarch. hominy. corn grits,
barley -four. potato -four. sweet potato
-four. soya bean -four. Feterita -four
and meals, rice. rice -four. oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwbeat -four.
Graham and whole wheat -four con-
siitute an exception 10 the national
regulation. Either OF these commodi-
ties may be sold AT the ratio Of three
pounds to FIVE pounds Of wheat -four
that is. five pounds OF graham or
wheat -four counts the same. as three
pounds of the usual wheat -four.
Mixed flours form another excep-
lion. Where any -four contains 80
per cent. or less OF wheat IL may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
the flour Is mixed ut the rate of 80
per cent. wheat and 40 per cent of
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent. of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity Is shown specially
prepared infants and invalld's food
containing flour may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for a time.
For instance. II customer wishes 10
buy "a pound sack of -four the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted

grits. pounds; rice. pounds; buck
wheat. pounds; cornstarch. pound;
hominy, ? pounds; rolled oats,
pounds.
None of the substitutes should be
considered as waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made into cornbread, corn muf-
fins or used in the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch is useful in making Gus
tard, thlckenlng gravy or may be used
In cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms delicious dish. or II may
be used In baking corn bread. Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por-
ridge or In oatmeal cookies or in
making mullins.
Buckwheat -four may be used In
bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat -four. but is especially choice In
the form OF buckwheat cakes for
breakfast.
With II wheatless meals needed
each week in America to provide
enough wheat for the allies. the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.

Mr.. Schmidt stated that to provide

procure pledges from most boys and

"A real sacrifice is necessary" said
Mr.. Schmidt. mo boy should be al

his pledge. He may utilize his saw
ings, provided they represent his own
earnings.
Child labor laws Will be closely OBJ
served in every county of the dis
trict. and boys and girls who make
pledges are to agree to live up to the
existing laws. 1t vas suggested at
the conference to-day that the boys
and girls can earn money by such
methods as digging gardens. cleaning
silver. washing windows, %scrubblng
floors. whitewashing fences, painting,
canning fruit. lfhusking corn, taking
care of lawns. caring for furnaces
and removing ashes. tutoring back
ward students. saving wood, shovel
ing snow, raising pigs, chickens.
pigeons. selling butter, eggs. veg
etables and fruit. waiting on table and
a dozen and one other schemes.
These methods of earning money
will be carried back to the boys and
girls of the ten counties by the va
rious county organization workers
who will make every school district
a unit of the campaign.
