How Farmers May Buy.
One Of the chief items Of interest dis
cussed was Lie matter Of wheat flour
conservation. 1t was decided TO pro-
vide certificates for millers and store
keepers selling TO farmers.
No sales TO farmers Of wheat flour
will be permitted without substitutes
unless the latter produces certificate
showing that he has had cornmeal
ground and will agree to use it with
the wheat -four
No miller will be permitted to deliver
wheat -four TO a farmer unless he
produces a certificate to show that the
wheat was grown on his farm This is
TO prevent resales and numerous other
ways in which the food regulations
could be evaded.
There were some cases reported
where farmers and millers were ac-
cused Of failing to live up to the food
regulations regarding the conservation
OF wheat In all OF these instances an
Investigation has proven that the vio-
lation was due TO ignorance OF the rules
and food regulations.

founded, and he said last night that he
was pleased to deny such a report cir

Mr.. Mitchell also added that some OF
the Wilmington bakers were so Jealous
in obtaining substitutes that they sent
trucks to Philadelphia where supplies
OF the substitute flours were obtained,
