Red Cross Notes.

In view of the fact that the Red
Cross rooms are nearly ready fo1
use, there is a request that some
one who has some chairs they do
not need or use donate them for
use in these rooms. Three SEWN g
machines are also badly needed. 1t
would take too much money to buy
machines and some of the ladies, per-
haps, who do not sew could lend
their machines for a while. These
needed things are entirely necessary
to the furnishings of the rooms and
the work that is to be turned out
there, and any aid any one will give
will be greatly appreciated.

Capt. w. S. Bamberg, Bamberg, S. C.
My Dear Capt.: :-Replying to your
letter. There has evidently been a
misunderstanding on the part of
those who are in charge Of flour
mills in Bamberg county. The Food
Administrator. issued order placing
restriction upon the supply of wheat
-four that could be withdrawn from
mills, which restriction applied to
the whole country. They do not pro-
hibit or limit the amount of wheat
that can be ground by mill, but they
do prohibit the delivery by the mill
to the farmer of supply greater
than that specified in the order.
Upon complaint of people in Bam-
berg l took this matter up with the
Food Administrator, Mr.. Hoover, and
he stated that while all other people
were to be denied the privilege of
having on hand large supply of
-four, he recognized that exception
had to be made in behalf Of Southern
farmers, and last year placed no re-
strictions upon them. AS result he
said in many cases farmers had sup
plies exceeding their demand, and
sold flour without regard to the re-
strictions placed upon merchants, and
.demoralized the service in some To-
calities in the South. He therefore
issued an order which permitted a
mill to grind all of the wheat offered
by a farmer, but did not allow
farmer to withdraw a supply greater
than that set forth in the order.
Upon my presentation to him of the
difficulties We had encountered in in
ducing farmers to grow wheat at all,
he took the matter up with the OIL
cials in charge of the wheat division,
and on Friday last sent to the food
administrators of the South tele-
gram revoking the thirty-day order,
and authorizing the mills to deliver
to farmers supply sufficient to last
until October first, based on twelve
pounds per person per month, which
is in excess of the average consump-
tion.
Upon receipt of your presenting
the attitude of the farmer and other
letters from Bamberg along the same
line, l had a conference with Mr.
Hoover this morning and told him the
difficulty was that if a mill ground
all of the wheat offered by a farmer,
and then could not deliver supply
for longer time than three months,
that because of the absence of ware
house facilities in which to store the
-four of the different farmers who pat
ronize the mills, the mills would sim
ply quit business entirely. | urged
him to let them deliver a years sup
ply-assuring him that the farmers,
appreciating the exception made in
their case, would patriotically COM
ply with the regulations Of the food
administration as to the amount OF
-four they should use per month. He
granted my request and telegraphed
to the State food administrators of
the Southern States instructing them
to advise couny agents to permit the
mills to deliver to farmer year S
supply, based upon 12 pounds per
month for every person dependent up
on him, including tenants. In JUS

CAN DELIVER YEARS SUPPLY.
Congressman Byrnes Secures MOdifi.
cation of Wheat Order.

The matter of grinding the farm
ers' wheat in Bamberg county has
been one of much concern this sea-
son. Since the government took
charge of the -four output regulations
were issued curtailing the amount
ofwheat delivered by flour mills These
regulations were issued for the pur-
pose of restricting the flour sold
by the large milling concerns, but the
orders affected the small mills as
we'll. The local mill, which grinds
exclusively for farmers on toll ba-
sis, found itself confronted by the
situation of being unable to deliver
-four except in very small lots, and
inasmuch as the mill here operates
only a few months during the sum-
mer, it would have been impossible
to handle the crop in this county on
the basis of the regulations.
Many complaints were registered
with the food authorities and others.
A few days ago The Herald took this
matter up with Congressman James
F. Byrnes, stating the exact condi
tions that existed in Bamberg county
and with the local flour mill. Mr..
Byrnes replied by wire that he had
had made representations that day to
the food administration, and as
result of his conference with the
food authorities, the food administra-
tion Immediately issued an order to
allow mills to grind and deliver
supply of -four to farmers for twelve
months, based on twelve pounds of
flour per month for every person de-
pendent upon the farmer, including
his own family and the families of
his tenants or others dependent upon
him.
This modification of the regula-
tions secured by Mr.. Byrnes solves
the situation in a very happy manner,
and the farmers may now have their
wheat ground. Below are reproduced
the letter from Mr.. Byrnes denying
the report that Georgia mills have
been allowed privileges not allowed
to South Carolina mills; and letter
written by Mr.. Byrnes to Capt w. S.
Bamberg, which sets forth clearly
the new order and the reasons for it's
issuance.

Bamberg Herald, Bamberg, S. G.
; am enclosing copy of letter I have
this, day written to Capt. w. S. Bam-
berg, and which explains itself. There
was absolutely no justification for the
statements that the State of Georgia
was given any privilege not granted
to South Carolina. The millers at
Bamberg simply misunderstood the
instructions. At any rate I am satis-
fed l have succeeded in straighten-
ing the matter and/to their satisfac-
