The following is the official state
ment of the new wheat conservation
program for this country effective
September 1st as announced by Her
bert Hoover, United States Food Ad-
ministrator, thru Fred c. Croxton,
Federal Food Administrator for Ohio.
"The recent careful survey by the
Food Administrators of the United
States, France, England and Italy or
the food resources of the two hundred
twenty million people fighting against
Germany shows that to maintain
enough supplies and necessary re-
serves against disaster there must he
maintained in all countries a conser-
vation of wheat -four during the COM
ing year. 1t has been agreed that the
wheat bread of the Allies shall con-
tain twenty percent other grains than
wheat and 1t is only just that we
should bear our share in this saving.
cumstances in United States render 1t
necessary to rely very largely on vol
untary action of our homes to enforce
this mixture. The Victory bread 80
made Is wholesome and there ts no
difficulty in preparation. We desire
to emphasize the fact that mixtures
outlined below are for wheat bread
and the saving Of wheat -four but they
are not intended to displace the large
use of corn bread. We must use the
mixture with wheat -four In addition
to our normal consumption OF corn
bread. For this purpose regulations
are formulated below effective Sep
tember 1st, providing
First, for the preparation and mar
keting by the manufacturing and dis
tributing trades Of the country OF
mixed -four complying with the inter
national policy which will be avail
able for purchase by the household.
Second, in regulations covering the
case where straight wheat -four is
sold by retailers. That at the same
time twenty per cent of other cereal
fours must be sold coincidentally.
Third, requiring that all bakerA'
bread shall contain twenty per cent OF
other cereals and the Food Admins
tration relies uApn the householders
of the country to fix at least twenty
per cent Of the substitute cereals into
the wheat -four at home for all uses.
Corn meal for use OF corn bread
should be purchased separately from
combination sales.
Ready Mixed Flour for Sale 40
Victory Mixed Flour.
1t Is desired to insure supply Of
ready mixed fours on market and to
have millers and dealers Of all kinds
encourage use and sale OF this -four
90 that the country may be on q
mixed -four basis without necessity OF
retailers making com bination sales Of
-four and substitutes All such mixed
f1ours made according to the follow
ing regulations should be labeled
Victory Mixed Flour" and are to be
labeled with the ingredients in order
of their proportion. The flours so
with the standards OF the United
States Food Administration. No
mixed -four Except pancake hours)
shall be made or manufactured except
in the exact proportions az outlined
below. Mixed wheat and barley -four
shall be In the proportion OF four
pounds wheat -four to one pound bar
ley -four. Mixed wheat and corn -four
shall contain the proportion of four
pounds wheat -four to one pound corn
-four. Mixed wheat, barley and corn
-four shall contain the proportions OF
eight pounds wheat -four to one pound
barley and one pound corn -four.
Mixed wheat and rye -four shall con-
tain the proportions Of three pounds
wheat -four and not less than two
pounds rye flour. Whole wheat, en-
tire wheat, or graham -four or meal
shall contain at least ninety-nve per
cent Of the wheat berry. All the
above victory mixed hours may be
sold without substitutes but at no
greater price from the miller, whole
saler or retail dealer than in the case
of standard wheat -four.
Retail Sale Of Standard Wheat Flour.
The new regulations supersede the
ffty-ffty rule. The retail dealer sell
ing standard wheat -four is required
to carry in stock either barley -four,
corn meal or corn -four and with every
sale of wheat -four must sell q com.
bination OF some one or more Of these
in the proportion of one pound sub
stitutes to each four pounds of wheat
-four. No dealer may force any other
substitutes in combination on the oon-
sumer and the substitutes must con-
form to the standards fixed by the
United States Food Administration
There are some localities where other
substitutes are available and which
retailers may wish to carry In order
to meet this situation.

sold in such combinations in lieu of
