Conditions Summed Up

Conditions may be summed up as
follows: The monthly volume Of ship
m"nts of raw sugar has reached it's
MAXIMUM for this year and will decline
from now on; during the coming thre"
months demand probably will exceed
supply, the difference between the two
having to be met by voluntary or reg
uIated conservation in the part Of
household consumers and manufartur,
crS; unless Withdrawals of shipping are
heavier than are now anticipated, a
sufficient supply will be available to
meet the reduced demands Of the coun
try during the latter part of the year
Shipping facilities will continue to reg
ulntr the supply, and if the careful
conservation advocated by Mr.. Hoover
is practised it will he possible to get
through the year with no great hard
ship being frlt 10y the consuming pub
lie.
Aside from the question Of ships,
another fmrtOr that may affect the sup

can public is the probable necessity Of

Hamlet and Rockingham papers
a Fair Price List which gives the
cost to the retailer and what is a
fair price for the consumer. This
price is fixed strictly on the Cash
and Garry basis. The State Ad-
ministration is earnestly DESTROYS
that the delivery Of merchandise
shall be cut out. If they do not
stop delivering it is extremingly
unfair that the customer who
purchases his goods for cash and
carries them out with him should
have to pay any of the large over,
head expense which the delivery
of goods necessitates.
WHOLESALERS, retailers, manufac.
turers, bakers, and others will
secure their certificates after
they have made a statement to
the Food Administration on forms
which they can secure by writing
to the Sugar Division, Food Ad
ministration, Raleigh.

CORN MEAL

The State Administration
realizes the fact that corn meal
has been selling too high in the
state. The cash and carry price
has been fixed at Sc a pound.
This leads me to say that if any
price on any foodstuff is consid-
cred by the consumer to be too
high they are requested first, to
apply to the merchant asking
him to correct the price. This
failing, they are asked to report
the matter to me so that it may
be investigated. 1t is possible
that the jobber had to pay too
much. 1t is possible that the
merchant had to pay too much,
| So if the facts are communi.
Gated to me shall take pleasure
in following the sale of that ar

Carolina are most of them close
to export points and all Of them
are in position to pack -four for
export. Where merchants in
some parts of North Carolina
could secure flour from outside
mills cheaper than they can from
North Carolina mills which have
-four available, ! am going to ask
them to take the home flour, even
at a higher price.
Il do not pretend to say that.
there is sufficient flour in North
Carolina to supply anything like.
normal demand. What | do mean
to say is that if we are to supply
our Allies with the quantity they
must have, we have as much
flour in North Carolina as we are
entitled to, and as much in pro-
portion as the people of any other
State or section and we have no
right to more"

SUGAR

While the government has
never really adopted a rationing
plan it suggests as a patriotic
duty that all the people of the
nation should limit their consump,
ton of sugar for household and
hotel purposes to three pounds
per head per month. 1t must be
understood that some rare cases
as for instance bottle-fed babies,
must have slightly more than this
amount. 1t must also be under
stood that the special service that
the Red Cross is rendering to the
troops as they pass Hamlet is also
in the preferred class. These
good women must be furnished
with whatever sugar theyrequire.

due to the fact that any greater
quantity might spoil. After Octo-
Der the first, if he wishes he may
have enough ground to last him
until the next crop. If a farmer
has produced more wheat than
he and his establishment can use
there are two avenues and two
only, through which he may dis
pose of it. FIRST, he may sell it
to his merchant who in turn may
sell it to the miller or may have
it ground for his own trade.
SECOND, he may sell it to his mill
er. In both events the price
which he is enabled to receive is
fixed as follows:
If he sells it to a mill which
has capacity of rs or more bar
rels per day he can get $3.50, less
the freight from Newport News,
If he sells it to a mill having less
than rs barrel capacity he should
get $3.50 per bushel plus the
freight from Newport News. The
freight is about II cents per
bushel. This difference in price
is explained in this way: The
larger size mills above mention
ed are not under the control Of
the Food Administration but are
controlled by the Milling Divis
ion, while the mills Of smaller
capacity are under the control Of
the Food Administration. MIR
Page has had several conferences
with representatives of the Mill
ing Division with a view of gett
ing this difference settled in fav
or of the North Carolina farmer
who must sell his flour to the lar
ger mills. AS yet he has beer
unsuccessful and until these two
agencies can get into an agree
ment the farmers of North Caro-
lima must be governed by tn.
rules above set out.
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1918-06-27
IN GENERAL

The State Administration says
that the conservation of flour in
North Carolina has been so gen.
eral and the saving so great that
a large number of small mills
which heretofore have been able
to supply only their immediate
communities, have been able to
accumulate considerable quaint
ties of flour which is available for
other markets. The Food Ad-
ministration will assist in bring
ing together those mills which
have -four to sell and dealers in
other sections of the state who
desire to purchase it. Mr.. Pages
statement inaugurating the new
plan is as follows:
Based on the total supply in
the United States for home con-
sumption, and considering the
decreased consumption by our
people, there is within the bord-
ers of North Carolina our share
and more of -four. This being
true, I am calling on the whole
sale and retail merchants of North
Carolina to refrain from sending
further orders for flour to mills
outside of North Carolina. The
larger mills which have been &C
customed to ship tremendous
quantities of flour into North
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1918-06-27
FLOUR

The people are requested to
continue the two wheatless days
each week and one wheatless
meal each day. The amount
of -four. within which we are ex-
pected to confne ourselves is six
pounds per month per head I'M
til the new crop comes in. Resi-
dents in town may purchase "a
pounds of flour and those living
in the country 48 pounds of flour
at a time. They must also pur-
chase and consume an equal
amount of flour substitutes. A
farmer who raises his own corn
and has it ground into meal may
purchase "a pounds at a time by
signing a certificate that he has
the same amount OF meal which
he has raised himself and that
he will consume as many pounds
of substitutes as he does of flour.
When the new crop of wheat
comes in the limit within which
we are requested to live will be
raised to IL pounds per head pei
month. There will be some reg
ulations materially lessening the
amount of substitutes which we
are required to buy. Due notice
will be given of this new rule
when it is promulgated.
Last summer the County Fooc
Administration acting on the
suggestion of the State Admins
tration put on a campaign urg
ling the farmers toplant sufficient
wheat for their own require
ments. Most of the farmers in
Richmond county performed
this service in very creditable
manner. In keeping with the
suggestions made to them at the
time the following rules have
been issued touching them:
A farmer who raises his own
wheat may take that wheat to the
mill and have as much of il
ground as is necessary to run him
and his family on the twelve
pound basis until the next crop
comes in. The only condition
put on this order is that he only
have enough ground now to last
him until October first. This is
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1918-06-27
PRICES

The Food Administration is
mainly and primarily interested
in what is called a Cash
and Carry Price, This is
the price which a man pays who
comes into the store with his
money and carries out the goods.
1t is of supreme Importance that
this price for all food stuff be
kept at the lowest possible mini
mum so that a man who makes
his living by his labor may con-
tinue to live. In addition to this
price the merchant may charge
for service. 1t is legitimate for
him to charge for his delivery
and also to make a fair charge
for running the account through
his books and for the risk involv-
ed in even 30 days credit, this of
course provided that he can find
a way not to make the Cash and
Garry Customer pay apart of the
burden of this over head expense.
There is considerable confusion
in the minds of some merchants
about the "Ten percent Law.
This law was passed by the last
legislature and refers only to that
class of trade known as "Furn-
ishing" and contemplates the
credits made during each month
of the year maturing in October
and November. For this service
this time price the merchant
under our state law may charge
his customer 10 per cent on the
cash price governing that article
on day of purchase. If he char
fges more than this 10 per cent
his customer need not pay for
that item at all; but this does not
effect the 30 and go day terms
which are made by the merch-
ants to their town customers; but
can only apply to what is gener-
ally known as time business.
/ wish again to thank the peo-
pie of the county, especially the
merchants and the women,f for the
splendid service which they have
given the government in the
economical distribution and use
of food. The thought that / have
been connected with these people
and through them have been en-
abled to render some service fills
me with gratitude and pride.
i w. N. EVERETT,
County Food Administrator.
