nent Of the new wheat conservation
program for this country effective

bert Hoover, United States Food Ad-
ministrator, thru Fred c. Croxton,
Federal Food Administrator for Ohio.
"The recent careful survey By the
Food Administrators Of the United
States, France, England and Italy Of
the food resources of the two hundred
twenty million people fighting against
Germany shows that to maintain
enough supplies and necessary re-
serves against disaster there must be
maintained in all countries = conser-
Vation OF wheat flour during the CON-
ing year. It has been agreed that the
wheat bread OF the Allies shall con-
tain twenty percent other grains than
wheat and It is only Just that we
should bear our share in this saving.
Distribution and transportation cir
! cumstances in United States render r
necessary to rely very largely on vol
untary action of our homes to enforce
this mixture. The Victory bread so
made is wholesome and there 10 no
difficulty in preparation. We desire
to emphasize the fact that mixtures
outlined below are for wheat bread
and the saving Of wheat flour but they
are not intended to displace the large
use OF corn bread. We must use the
mixture with wheat -four in addition
to our normal consumption Of corn
bread. For this purpose regulations
are formulated below effective Sep
tember 1Et, providing
First, for the preparation and mar
keting by the manufacturing and dis
trfbuting trades Of the country Of a
mixed -four complying with the inter
national policy which will be avail
able for purchase by the household.
Second, in regulations covering the
case where straight wheat -four is
sold by retailers. That at the same
time twenty per cent Of other cereal
nours must be sold coincidentally.
Third, requiring that all bakers
bread shall contain twenty per cent Of
other cereals and the Food Admins
tration relies upon the houssholdsrS
Of the country to fix at least twenty
per cent Of the substitute cereals into
the wheat -four at home for all uses.
Corn meal for use Of corn bread
should be purchased separately from
combination sales.
