were wired to County Administrator
King yesterday morning from. State
Food Administrator r. F. Bicknell,
who at the meeting of the county
food administrators at Boise Satur-
day, advised that all citizens of Ida
no will be required to strictly adhere
to regulations prescribed in Idaho
and that no attention shall be paid to
regulations which may be published
in Washington or other adjoining
states for in many cases, the regula-
tons applying in Washington were
not issued in Idaho. This applies to
retail merchants also.
Administrator Bicknell advises that
defective Immediately, beans and po-
tatoes will no longer be permitted to
be sold as substitutes with wheat
flour and bran shorts and middEugs
will not be recognized as substitutes.
The only substitutes which will ne
permitted are corn meal, corn starch,
corn flour, hominy, corn grits, barley
flour, rice flour, rice, oatmeal rolled
oats, buckwheat flour, potato flour,
sweet potato flour, soy bean flour,
feterita flour and meal, tapioca
flour"
Certificates by consumers that
they already have in their possession
the required substitutes to balance
wheat flour purchases, will no longer
be accepted. In other words, with
every purchase of flour there must
be purchased at the same time, pound
for pound of authorized substitutes"
Package wheat cereals now held
in stock by wholesalers and retailers,
may be sold without substitutes but
not as a substitute. This permission
is given only for stocks now on hand
and not for any future stocks"
"You are directed to make an Of
ficial call at once through the news
papers or in any way most effective,
requiring all the citizens of your
county to list with you their stocks
of flour and sugar and wheat. Any
person found guilty of boarding or
violating the flour and substitute
regulations will be severely dealt
with as we'll as any dealers found
guilty of violating the regulations.
The seriousness of the wheat situa-
ton demands our eternal vigilance. y
At Boise Saturday, MIR. ,Dicinell
advised the county food admins
traitors that persons with over a sc
day supply of wheat or flour should
take immediate steps to return the
same through their county admins
traitors. 1t is very likely, that the
government will commander sup
plies of flour and wheat after May
18th, if by that time the wheat stu
alton has not improved.
1t is expected that new regulations
in regard to the sale of sugar will
be made soon, in order to give the
people of the United States a chance
to do all kinds of fruit canning.
At the meeting Saturday 1t was
announced that the representatives
of the leading hotels of the United
States at a recent session in Wash
ington, D. c., had pledged the ma.
tional food administrator, Hoover
that they would use no wheat pro
ducts of any kind from April 15tf
until September 1st. This action was
taken voluntarily by the hotel mel
in order to help out the wheat situa
ton.
The county food administrators o.
Idaho in session all day Saturda!
with Administrator Bicknell at Bois'
recommended by telegram to Nation
al Administrator Hoover more
stringent wheat program to b.
adopted for the United States an,
the state of Idaho. 1t was considere,
inadvisable to make public the con
tents of the telegraphic recommends
tions, the administrators being of tn
opinion that the release should com
from the national administrator. Tn
administrators hold it is imperative
to further curb the use of wheat il
order that the country's allies ma,
be helped.
During the day Miss Jessie NJ
Hoover, director of home economic
at the University of Idaho and Mis-
Amy Kelly, demonstration with tn
University of Idaho extension de
partment, spoke to the administrator:
Miss Hoover told of the campaig
to work out war receipts, pointin
out that a receipt that would be sue
cessful in one part of Idaho woul
not be successful in another due t
the difference in altitude.
A round table discussion took plac
at the morning, afternoon and eve
ming sessions which were held at tn
federal building. Those in attendant
were guests at luncheon and Dime
of Administrator Hoover at the Owy
hee hotel.
