FLOUR FAMINE IS
REAL POSSIBILITY
Consumption Must be Cut
In Half Says the Food
Administration.
az Assoelated Pressl

\
WHEELING, W. Va, March H.
Flour consumption should be square
~ cut in two" declared Director Of
Organization William Hill, OF the
West Virginia federal food admins
cration in an appeal sent out today
to the fifsy-five county administra-
tors throughout the state.
The administration is planning for
IN intensive campaign in ali sections
of the state for home gardening this
year. Great quantities OF literature
from the national food administration
at Washington and from the agricui-
tural department are being distribu-
ted, and hUr'.eds OF coal mining
companies al ! other industrial con-
Germs. whose employees are housed in
company houses are joining in the
movement. Another powerful factor
in the campaign is the state univer-
sity agricultural department whose
practical suggestions and aggressive
publicity methods last year resulted
in more home gardening than ever
before in West Virginia. The state
department Of agriculture, too, is con-
Quoting its own home gardening cam
paigD. with ian acre of potatoes for
sale from every farm" as its motto.
Director Hills appeal to the county
food administrators, to be issued TO-
morrow, follows:
1.-The response OF Patriotic Ameri-
cans has been more generous than
the Food Administration dared to
hope The farmers have produced
more meat than was expected. Con
sumption has shown an unexpected

road biockadeS have prevented the
export Of 10000. 900 pounds promised
to the allies. The supply OF meat il
sight makes It safe to suspend most
OF the restrictions on meat consump-
ton.
.'The food administration wishes at
al times to impose the fewest re-
strictions consistent with safety, and
is therefore. glad to withdraw al!
restrictions on the consumption o.
meat, except the request tn2t on Tues
day no beef and no pork be eaten.
The flour shortage is constantly
more threatening. The entire output
of many large mills has been TeGU1s-
itioned for export. Flour consump-
ton should be cut sqUarely i'll two
We hope it viii not be necessary to
impose drastic and vezatious regula-
lions to save flour. we nope 10 dNOiu

THE wonderful saving Of meat ere.
ates confidence that statement OIL
the pressing need for flour may lead
all intelligent, self-governing people,
to use substitutes instead Of flour. Re
1noval of meat restrictions makes
flour saving easier. Let US give Mr.
Hoover another pleasant surprise by
saving more flour than he thinks
we can.
Let us get every good garden spot
planted. Make careful plans and Sc

advice consult your County Agricu4-
turaI Agent or write the Agricultural
Extension Department at Morgan

Let everybody plant garden and
plenty of potatoes.
