AN HONOR ROLL
FOR WHEAT SAYING
List Will Be Placed in State House Of
All housewives Who Agree to Make
Their Tables 100 Per Cent Wheat
less Till the Next Harvest.

The United States food administration
has announced its new program for the
households of the country, which call:
for conservation of wheat to the limit
and appeals to all housewives who car
to eliminate entirely the use OF wheat
until the next harvest. Meats OF any
kind may be eaten on any day in mod
Grafton until May |. The need of the
economical use of all foods and the de-
stability of growing and using local
supplies are emphasized.
In connection with sending out this
new program the federal food admins
tration for Vermont announces that
there will be placed in the state capitol
at Montpelier an honor roll of the names
of all those housewives who inform the
food ADMINISTRATION that they will make
their tables 100 per cent wheatless until
the next harvest.
The new program of food conservation
is as follows; -
All househoIders who can entirely
eliminate the use of wheat until the next
harvest, about Sept |, should do so
Householders who are obliged to use
wheat should not use more than total
of one and one half pounds of wheat
-four or prepared wheat, in any form,
per person per week, including the wheat
-four in Victory bread, and including the
wheat -four or prepared wheat in crack
ers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast and
other foods.
Tn estimating -four consumption every
one and three fourths pounds of Victory
bread, which is bread manufactured by
bakers under the regulations of the
United States food administration, may
be considered equal to one pound of
wheat flour.
This rationing requires more restrict
ed use of wheat than that asked for by
the observance of wheatless days and
meals which are no longer obligatory,
but in practice it will be found that an
even wider and more strict observance
of wheatless days and meals will aid
greatly in limiting the household con
