WHEAT SITUATION
SERIOUS PROBLEM
People Asked to Give Up Eating
Wheat Bread Until After
Next Harvest

Next Harvest.
Columbia.-The wheat situation is
the most serious in the foed ~ply
of the Allied world.
This word comes from Washington
to the Food Administration at Colum.
bia. The statement continues:
"Our harvest was less than esti-
mated; needs OF the Allies are greater
than were calculated; losses by sea
and by battle have been heavier than
were anticipated; less comes from the
Argentine than had been hoped; tens
or demands on shipping space restrict
ships more than ever to the shortest
haul and the tightest bulk"
Until the next harvest the crisis will
not have been passed The call is
therefore issued that all who can and
all who will go without wheat-give
up wheat bread entirely-until the
next harvest. as the club women of
South Carolina have pledged them
selves to do; that those who do not go
on an entirely wheatless ration cut
down the consumption OF wheat by at
least one-half and that househel
keep within a weekly allowance for
each person Of one and one-half
pounds Of flour and all other wheat
products.

FURTHER SAVING IN
MEAT C0NSUMP TON
Meatless Days Will Not Be
Inaugurated at Present if
Economy in Eating Meat is
Practiced, Says Food Admin
instration.

Columbia.-The Food Administra.
ton is extremely desirous of securing
economy in the consumption of all
kinds Of meats without the reinstal-
lation Of meatless days at the present.
The seasonal decline in the volume
OF animals coming to market is now
In progress and it's volume will un-
doubtedly further decrease during the
next Few months, as is usual, but the
probable amount Of such decrease is
yet obscure. says the Food Admins.
tration.
A statement given out here today,
py William Elliott, Food Administra-
tor for South Carolina, and signed by
Herbert Hoover, says:
The necessities for shipment
abroad to our army and allies are very
large and amount to roughly 75.OOO,-
ooo pounds OF meat and meat prod
ucts OF all kinds per week against a
pre-war normal OF less than $4,000. 900
pounds. Even with these large ship
ments the allies have found it neces-
sary to reduce consumption of all
kinds of meats and put it to an average
or about one and one-quarter pounds
per week per person in order that no
further draft may be made upon ship
ping that is now required for the
transport of our soldiers.
Our consumption OF meats Is about
three and one-quarter pounds per
week per person, and II we are to
make both ends balance during the
short marketing season, we must have
further economy.
IF the public will continue rigor.

kinds of meats and poultry, more par.

ministration hopes that the necessary
balance can be maintained. general
adherence to these recommendations
will avoid the Inconvenience which
arises in many directions from meat
loss days and will cause less interfer.
ence in the daily preparation of food.

State are now being supplied with

which persons desiring sugar for can

EAT LESS CANDY THIS SIMMER

Philadelphia, May 22.-(Corr-
spondence of the Associated Press)-
The ideal "food administration fig
ure" has been defined in a statement
issued by Jay Cooke, 3rd local food
administrator.
"Eat less candy this summer" says
Mr.. Cooke in his heart to-heart talk
with women. "The less sugar you eat
the more slender and graceful you
will become. Besides, you are con-
serving food elements for our Allies
and fighting the Hun while you stay
at home.
"There are hundreds of thousands
of children and young people, of both
sexes, in Philadelphia, who can dis
play their patriotism only by acts of
self-denial. l suggest to these young
people that they display their patrio-
tism by cutting down their allowance
of candy, chocolate sundaes, bon-bons
and the various luxuries manufac-
tured almost entirely from sugar"
The new sugar rulings, according
to Mr.. Cooke, have been designed
solely to give the housewife and the
Gamer an opportunity to put up a
large quantity of fruits this summer.
"The fact is," said Mr. Cooke, "that
the sugar situation is not at all en-
couraging, and l anticipate that some
stringent rules may be promulgated
after the canning season is over"
