FOOD CONSERVATION
WEEK ANNOUNCED
Delaware Housewives Will
be Asked to Save During
First Week in December
WANT BAKERS TO USE
FLOUR SUBSTITUTE

The lifting Of the ban on wheat
bread. and the free use OF al the wheat
flour a housewife may desire. is going
to not alone provide a better grade OF
the "staff Of life" but will help in
other ways.
Bakers are no longer limited in the
use Of wheat They are not called
upon 10 use substitutes and they no
longer have to make out a weekly re-
port for the Food Administration. In
discussing this phase Of the situation
Edmund Mitchell, Food Administrator
for Delaware, said today:
Il hope that the bakers, now that the
restrictions Of wheat are lifted, viii
continue TO use their substitute flour
that they have on hand so that there
may be no waste. The substitute car
be used in such small quantities that
no one but the baker will know that
anything but wheat flour is being used.
"The abolishment OF the substitutes
will cause more grain to be ground, re-
sultins in more mill feed. of which
there has been a scarcity. The addi-
tional mill feed will mean that cattle
will have increased rations and this
will result in an increased cattle pro-
ductiOn. II should result in increasing
the supply Of milk, and adding to the
beef supply.
In order to organize for Conservation
Week. that is fixed for the first week
in December Mr.. Mitchell has called a
meeting Of all the district food admin
istrators in the State and the home eco
nomic workers TO meet In Parlors A and
b, at 1870 o'clock on next Thursday.
They will discuss and plan for Con
