The urgent demands of the allies for

gently need this year earlier and more

are taking from us 50 per cent of other
ccrals than wheat to mix in their
bread. Inasmuch as the people in al

! fed with bread baked in bakeries it is
impossible for them to prepare bread
made wholly out of other cereals and
we must furnish them with sufficient

they shall bring all OF their wheat ex
