KeoeauQua. IowA-To the editor:
The food control department Of the
government is urging the observance Oh
two wheatless days each week. If the
people will follow their advice they
will need to increase the amount OF
corn meal used. The crop Of corn Is
the largest ever produced in the coun-
try. The present price OF good corn
here is $l.25 per bushel. or about IN
cents per pound. The process OF grind
ting 1t into meal In very simple. COM
pared with the manufacture Of wheat
fiour. Meal could b sold for az cents
per pound and give the miller good
profit. But the price hero 10 now moro
than 81 cents per pound. These con-
ditions may only be local. but a. my
include the product OF
Ave mills and tho price ie the Same IN
each case suspect that they arc gen.
eral. 1t is expecting too much OF the
people to require them to submit to
suoh a graft. II the government does
not lower the price Of corn meal the
CITY and town authorities ought TO buy
corn, get 1t ground for 10 cents per
bushel and sell the meal to the people
at cost. Denver Is using that plan OF
supplying coal to the people now. Tho
farmer can take his corn to the mill
and get It ground, but 1t Is impossible
for millions Of consumers who are MT
the hardest by the high cost Of living
to do this way. e. ]. Warren.
