FLOUR REGULATIONS CHANGED.
Food Administration Puts New
Ruling Into Erect.

Ruling Into Effect.
Under a new ruling issued by the
Maryland Food Administration, be-
ginning September /, purchasers of
flour will only be required to buy
one pound of substitute cereal to
every four pounds of straight wheat
flour. The fifty-ffty wheat conser-
walton order has been withdrawn
and sweeping changes have been
made in the entire wheat program.
There has been general revision
of the rules and orders relating to
the sale, manufacture and use of
flours, the most important change
probably being the new regulation
that permits the miller to manufac-
ture mixed fours which may be sold
by the grocer without substitute.
The flour must be mixed under the
regulation of the Revenue Depart
ment and must be labeled Victory
Mixed Flour. There are to be four
kinds of the mixed product recognize
ed under this ruling. The labels
must show conclusively the compost
ton of the mixtures.
Breakfast foods, such as rice,
grits, oatmeal and the like, are ruled
out as substitutes. They can NO
longer be purchased as a substitute
with wheat -four. Wheat and rye
flour may be purchased on a ratio of
two pounds of rye flour to three
pounds of wheat, while whole flour,
entire wheat or graham flour, or
graham meal, containing not less
than 95 per cent. of the wheat berry,
with per cent. offal, may be sold
without the purchase of any substi-
tute, but at no greater price by the
miller, the wholesaler or retailer
than the standard price for wheat
-four.
Where the retailer carries a
straight wheat -four, he is required
to have on hand supply of barley
flour, corn flour or corn meal, the
only three products that may be sold
with wheat flour as a substitute. In
some communities where the retailer
may wish to carry other cereals, he
is privileged to carry a stock of
feterita -four, feterita meal, rice
-four, oat flour, kaffir flour, milo
-four, white potato flour, sweet pota-
to flour and buckwheat flour.
Mixed f1ours to be manufactured
by the miller and sold by the re-
taller must be composed according
to one of the four following form
ulas:--Wheat and barley on the
basis of one pound of barley to four
pounds of wheat; one pound of corn
Hour to four pounds of wheat; one
pounnd of corn flour and one pound
of barley -four to eight pounds of
wheat; two pounds of rye -four to
three pounds of wheat.
The 3O-day supply limit as it re-
lates to flour, and which has been in
effect among the retailers, is
changed, extending the supply limit
OF the storekeeper to so days. The
rule also limits retailers to sale OF
one-eighth of a barrel of flour in
cities and towns and one-fourth of
barrel to country patrons and resi-
dents in rural territories.
Requirements for the baker have
also been revised. The ratio in
dough mixtures is one part substi-
tute to two parts wheat flour, while
other products, except crackers, are
placed on basis of one pound of
substitute to every four pounds of
wheat -four. Rye is to be used on a
40 per cent. basis.
