.dministration's new $3.50 wheat reg
u,ations is a war time task the Ameri-
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
MANY stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat saw
mo nIedee cards, that they have sign
ed. agreeing to carry out the new
wheat program
Each flour customer is now requir'
ed to buy one pound Of cereal substi-
tute for every pound of wheat flour.
Tho substitute may be of one kind or
assorted. This $3.50 sale is made by
weight and not by value OF the CON-
modities. There is, Of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat flour at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal, corn -four
edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grlts
harley flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour. soya bean -four, Feterita flour
and meals, rice, rice flour. oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour con-
stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodi-
ties NAV be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat -four
that is, five pounds of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds of the usual wheat flour.
Mixed hours form another excep-
Ia
per cent. or less of wheat it may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
the -four is mixed at the rate of 60
per cent. wheat and 40 per cent. of
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity is shown specially
prepared infants and invalid's food
containing -four may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted Is a fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for time.
For instance If customer wishes to
buy "a pound sack of flour the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn
grits pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck
wheat, pounds; cornstarch, pound;
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3
pounds.
None of the substitutes should be
considered as waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made into cornbread. corn muf-
fms or used in the baking of wheat
bread
Cornstarch is useful in making Gus
tard, thickening gravy or may be used
In cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms a delicious dish. or it may
be used in baking corn bread. Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por-
ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in
making mullins.
Buckwheat -four may he used in
bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat flour, but Is especially choice in
the form of buckwheat cakes for
breakfast
With II wheatless meals needed
each week in America TO provide
enough wheat for the allies. the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.
