tice Of the settlement, expressing APP
probation Of the attitude of the Food
Administration and rendering its ser
vices In any capacity to the Food Ad.
ministration, Speaking of the case,
DR., Morgan said:
"This firm was guilty, but through
nadvertence. The members are thor
oughly loyal and honorable men but
they had neglected sadly to inform
themselves about the regulations gov
erning their business and action was
necessary, but have never come In
contact with men who were fairer or
who manifested finer spirit than did
Messrs, Strong, Bagley & Bagley."
Sugar Distribution.
There will be no exceptions what
ever in the enforcement of the rules
limiting the supply of sugar that man
ufacturers OF non-essentials may OBJ
tain, according to the instructions that
were given to the Federal Food Adj
illustrators at their meeting In Wash.
lngton last week. The Tennessee Food
Administration was represented by j,
I. Finney, assistant to the food admin
lstrator, and Charles G. Traube, the
state legal representative. The Food
Administration is determined that
there shall be sufficient sugar In the
country to provide for the canning
and preserving demands Of the peo-
pie. Makers Of non-essentials, like
candy, chewing gum and soft drinks
will be strictly limited to so per cent
OF the amount that they used during
the corresponding period Of last year
Sugar cannot be obtained for these
purposes except upon the written per-
mission Of DR.. H. A. Morgan. the Fed
sral food administrator of Tennessee.
Wheat Harvest
Farmers should sell their wheat
from the thresher, In the judgment Of
the Food Administration, for the rea.
son that the price is fixed by the gov
eminent, and there will be no incent-
i've whatsoever for holding the wheat.
In fact, Ii will be more profitable to
the farmers Of the state to sell the
crop from the thresher than II would
be to hold it, pay storage, insurance
and loss from shrinkage. 1t will be
much better from every aspect to sell
the wheat at once than to hold It,
From present prospects, the crop is
going to be very large one. In fact,
some estimates place the yield higher
than for any year since 1914, when all
fcrmer records in the state we're ex.
ceeded.
Flour Shipments Checked.
Hereafter no flour can be shipped
into q county without the written per.
mission of the county food administra-
tor of the county Into which the ship
ment is TO be made. Announcement
to this effect was made last week by
DR.. H. A. Morgan, Federal food admin
lstrator Of Tennessee. This Is done
