FLOUR RULES MAY
BE CHANGED SOON

Atlanta, Ga, April 24-{SpeciaD-
The State Department of Agricul-
ture has taken up with the federal
food administration the question of
the possible relaxation of the rule
as to wheat in the hands of the pro-
Queer, particularly in small quaint
ties.
There are two purposes in the de-
partment's action in this matter; first,
to relieve the inconvenience of max
ing frequent long trips to the mill on
the part of the farmer; and, second,
to encourage the production of wheat
in the state, where it is so badly
needed.
Under the food administration
present rules the quantity of wheat
flour which any person may have on
hand is limited to six pounds per per-
son for one month, regardless of
whether or not he produced the wheat
from which it is made. A specific
case in point will we'll illustrate the
difficulties of the situation as applied
to the small producer.
Among many letters which the de-
partment has received on this sub
ject, is one from w Shannon Elder,
miller, of Watkinsville. Mr.. Elder
tells of farmer who drove fourteen
miles to bring ten bushels of wheat
to his mill to be ground. 1t was all
the wheat he had raised to supply
his family for the year Under the
food administrations rule Mr.. Elder
could only grind one bushel for him.
He had to haul back home nine bush
els of wheat, and travel to the mill
every thirty days to get another bu-
shell ground for his months supply
for his family
Commissioner of Agriculture J. 7.
Brown believes the food administra-
ton will gladly relax the ruling to fit
cases of this kind, of which there are
many, for the reasons stated. He has.
accordingly, laid these cases before
the food administration, pointing out
the difficulties which have arisen, and
asked that, if possible, some steps be
taken to remedy situation which is
liable to interfere with food product
ion more than it helps food conser-
walton.
