Flour
Farmers Exchange Milling Regula-
tions, 1918 Wheat Crop:
The following telegram has been
received from Herbert Hoover, Y. ;.
food administrator, Washington:
GAS to farmers wheat next year
we wish to support the whole idea
,f farmers raising their own supply
a flour. Until the national wheat
supplv is definitely determined and
the Allied necessities are likewise
arrived at, we cannot lay down ma
,ional program. AS temporary ba-
liz we believe the following is the II
,est coordination Of all views in the b
southern states. Farmers NAV draw Ii
,upply Of flour from the milling or
exchange Of their own wheat for the
,hree months to October l. Ihey
;hould not draw this from the mills h
n excess Of IL pounds Of flour per i
,erson per month for use by their h
household and tenants, and they {
,hould continue in respect to substl-
l1te an the present basis until we Is
.hange general substitute program
or the entire country" &
This simply means: i
l. Farmers, in exchange for 1913 q
wheat grown on land owned, leased S
r. cultivated by them. may draw s
rom mills three-months supply OF 7
lour to October l at the rate not to 4
exceed ~ pounds per person per
Month for use by their households \
nd tenants. {
3. All persons other than farmers h
: defined in paragraph /. are limit d
a to 30-days supply Of flour either a
! purchase or by exchange grinding
t the rate Of Y pounds per person A
er month.
g This does not release retailers,
farmers or any other consumers
rom the $3.50 substitute regulation.
4. This does not affect bakers "
ubstitute regulations. III

The administration now requires y
