the wheat substitutes when selling
wheat -four to retailers. The follow
ing telegram received from Washing
ton by G. N. Herreid. federal food
administrator for South Dakota, out
lines the wholesalers procedure when
they have no substitutes in stock and
wish to sell wheat -four to retailers:
Retail dealers must buy substitutes
with every lot OF wheat -four. They
must buy substitutes at the same time
as the -four from the seller of the
-four or present a written statement
showing the purchase elsewhere Of the
requisite substitutes not balanced by
other purchases Of wheat -four. IL
the wholesaler has sold both -four and
substitutes and has not the substitutes
on hand let him refrain from ship
ping the -four until he receives the
substitutes. BY SO doing we will keep
down the wheat -four sales, which is
what we want to do"
