FARMERS MAY GET THEIR
WHEAT GROUND FOR YEAR
RULING is MADE BY FEDERAL
FOOD ADMINISTRATORS HOO
YER REGARDING WHEAT

| Tho following telegram was re-
ceived from the federal food admins
traitor, Herbert c. Hoover, at Wash
ington:
ut appears that at many points in
/ the south, farmers have grown a GER
tain amount Of wheat in a patritclc
attempt to make themselves self-sdp-
porting in localities where there had
been hitherto no wheat grown and
where the milling capacity is either
noneXistent or very limited II seems
, that iii many eases the farmer is
afraid to keep the wheat on account
of weevils. Therefore, we would be
glad il you would have every county
food administrator make his own rule
so as to allow the farmer 10 draw q
fun twelve months supply to meet this
case. He may draw his flour at the
rate of twelve pounds per month per
dependent. 1t may also be desirable
TO encourage the creation of some
flour milling capacity in centers TO
serve these communities by the con-
version of corn mill or otherwise for
this purpose"
(Signed) HOOVER.
The above simply means that if the
farmer wishes he may draw 144
pounds of flour for each member of
his family al milling time. The rule
of limiting his consumption to twelve
pounds per person per month still APP
plies.
Il means further that each county
administrator should interest himself
in seeing that there is flour milling
capacity not too remote from his pao-
pie to take care of their milling needs.
II necessary. Il will be wel to con-
vert corn mill capacity in some places
to flour mill capacity A caution
should be taken that ii this Is done.
and the miller becomes a flour manu-
facturer, he should apply for a license
AS we see il, this is a very sweep
ing modification of the flour rules in
favor of the wheat growing farmers IN
Arkansas. The spirit of this telegram
further guarantees to the wheat pro-
ducers that the food administration

RUSS REPORTS CITY
IS OUT OF SUGAR
ALL PUBLIC EATING PLACES
MUST SECURE CERTIFICATES
TO GET SUGAR.

The Garland County Food Admin
istration received some instructions
today that means much to the peo-
lie who are interested in sugar.
Not only all hotels, restaurants and
public eating places, but all public
institutions, Getty, county. state and
federaD, hospitals, saw mills. logging
camps, boarding houses that feed az
many as twenty-five people per day
must purchase their sugar Iequir-
ments on certificates.
Your sugar requirments must be
filed with the state food adminstra-
ton before July 18th, and In the
event you fail to report by that date
your source of sugar supply will be
cut off for the rest of the year, said
County Administrator Russ last
night.
Food Administrator Russ said there
is no sugar in the city and there is
hardly a possible chance for any to
arrive here before the 10th or 18th
OF July. There is no use to call the
food administrator office. Nothing
can be done more than is being done
TO rush the sugar to this city When
IL arrives the information will ba
given to the press.
When we think of how inconven-
lent II is to be without It we should
think of how inconvenient it is for
the boys in France to be without
and those who have been saying that
we should not fight until the Ger
mans come over here" should know
that the sinking of the sugar ships
is the direct cause of this shortage
Those who have to shut down their
factories and close their drinking
fountains, candy shops and other
places are in no worse condition
than those who have had to give up
their business and join the fighting
forces Give it the proper thought
and We all have something to smile
for, said Mr. Russ.
