four pounds of wheat flour, that is,
Kaffir flour, Milo flour, Feterita flour
and meals, Rye flour, Oat flour, Pea
nut flour, Bean flour, Potato flour,
Sweet Potato -four, and Buckwheat
-four.
Pure rye flour or meal may be sold
as substitute but must be sold in
proportion of at least two pounds of
rye with three pounds wheat flour.
1t will be seen that this makes
new list of legal substitutes and that
some of the substitutes formerly al
lowed are no longer permissible. Some
of these are oatmeal, rolled oats, etc.,
It is hoped by the food administration
that 1Ours already mixed with the sub
stitutes will soon be manufactured and
Oil the market commercially SO that it
will not be necessary for the consum-
er to purchase his wheat flour and sub
stitutes separately. All such COM
bination f1ours should be labelled "Vic-
tory Mixed Flour and are to be la
belled with the ingredients in order
Of their proportion. The millers are
being furnished the exact proportions
of flour and substitutes which they
must use in the manufacture Of Vic
tory Mixed Flour.
= The Victory mixed lours may be
sold without substituting, but at no
greater price from the miller, whole
saler CIR retail dealer than in the case
of standard wheat flour. Where the
Victory mixed flour is not sold, it is
required OF the retailers that at the
same time straight wheat -four is
sold 20 per cent of legal substitute
flours must be sold coincidentally.
These same general rules apply also to
all custom and exchange transactions
as well as sales to farmers unless
modified by special announcement Of
the federal food administration Of the
state where the mills are located.
Revision of previous general rules
is authorized as follows, going into ef-
feet September 1:

ees, miilers, wholesalers, retailers and
bakers to thirty days supply of flour

"The rule limiting the sale of -four

ers to retailers in combination with
substitutes or certificates therefore,
and the rule restricting the sale to
seventy per cent previous sales are re-
scinded.'

and wheat breakfast foods are limited
to their normal, consumption wheat or

they are not to unduly expand their
ordinary consumption of wheat"

new plants ready for operation prior ;
