tie conscience of Vermonters to get I
the full benefits from the splendid
crop OF wheat which has been raised /
in Vermont this summer by farmers
Vermont needs the -four. Vermont I
needs the middlings and bran for cat |
tie more than ever. Vermont cannot I
get these from this product only as
wheat is ground into flour. here IN
Vermont. Vermont needs TO help (
not only the railroad transportation
problem, but needs 10 save transpor-

Vefmonters must. therefore, as a
patriotic and economic and agricul-
tmal necessity, gladly purchase the
-four that will come from this product
of Vermont.
The plan releases in some impor-
tant respects the restrictions hereto

to increase the acreage of wheat an

plish this it will be truly economic
and conservation measure OF prime
importance.
The plan is as follows
The farmer who has grown wheat
in 1918 can take back from the mill a
years supply OF -four without substi-
tutes, not exceeding one barrel per
person for himself, family and help,
and retain seed for next seasons

strongly urged as a patriotic effort TO
use at least 20 per cent in substi-
ale coll uftnh mort inn
OF his surplus wheat left, after his re-
quirments are cared for as above, TO
any miller. or to his neighbor, or TO
anyone else. The miller, or person
to whom the farmer sells must in
every instance strictly comply with
the 1920 rule as regards substitutes
unless wheat so purchased is ground
and used in conformity with regula-
tions hereinafter prescribed.
Vermont-GrOwn-Wheat may be dis

ways

which must contain at least 20 per

There may be some difficulties in
finding a Vermont market for all the
Vermont-Gr0wnWheat. The farmers
have been encouraged to grow wheat
with the idea OF helping Vermont TO
meet its own food reuuirments, to
save transportation, and to help pro-
