RESTRICT USE OF FLOUR
United Stairs Food Administration
Wanluiitfton, D. C.
Mr. P. M. Harding,
Federal Food Administrator,
Vlcksburg, Mlsaissjppi
If we are to furnish the allies with
the necessa'ry proportion of wheat, to
maintain their war bread from now
until the next har
vest, and this '.a a
military naeaasity,
we must reduce our
monthly consumption
to 21,0(JO,000 bushels
a month, as against
our normal consump
tion of about 4,000,-
O00 bushels or 50 per cent of our nor
mal consumption, reserving a inargia
for dlstribuliou to tho army 'and for
special cases, leaving for General con
aumpt'on, approximately one and one
half pound of wheat products weekly
per person.
Many of our consumers are depend
ent upon baker's bread, such , bread
must 'be durable, and therefore, re
quires a larger proportion of wheat
products, than cereal breads baked in
the households. .
Our army and navy require a full
allowance. Tlio well-to-do in our popu
lation can make sroater sacrifices in
the consumption of wheat products
than can tho poor; in addition, our
population in the agricultural ut
tricts, where th,e other cereals are
abundant, are more skilled in the
preparation of breads from these other
cereals, than rjie -crowded city and in
dustrial populations. With improved
transportation conditions we now have
available a surplus of potatoes. V.'e
also have in the spring months a sur
plus of milk, and we have amnio corn
and oats for human consumption.
The drain on rye nd barley as sub
stitutes has already greatly exhausied
the supply of these grains to effect
the needed saving of wheat. We are
wholly dependent upon the voluntary
assistance of the American ppople,
and we aak that the following rules
shall be observed:
First IIovKoholilors to use not to
exceed a tntni of one and 0113 half,
pounds per week of wh.at produilii
per person. .
This means not moro tMn one arid
three-quarter pounds of "Victory
Bread," containing the required per
centage of substitutes, and about a
half pound of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals all combined
Second Public eating places and
clubs to observe two whsntless days
per week, Monday and Wednesday, as
at present. In addition thereto not to
serve-in the aggregate a total of more
hreadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pas
' try, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast ce
Teals, containing a total of mpre than
two ounces of wheat flour toi any one
guest at any one meal. No wheat
products to be served unless specially
ordered.
Public eating establishments not to
buy more than six 'pounds of wheat
products per month, per guest, thus
conforming with limitations rsquested
of the hcusehoklor.
Third Retailers to sell not more
, than ono-eighth barrel of flour to any
torn "i.i.-to.:rv r.t any one time, and
not more than one-fourth barrel to
any country customer at any one time,
and in no case sell wheat products
without the sale of an equal weight
of other cereals.
Fourth We ask tho bakers and gro
cers to reduce the volume of "Victory
Bread" sold by delivery of the three
fourths pound loaf when on? pound
was sold before the corresponding pro
portions in other weights. We also
ask bakers not to increase the amount
of their wheat flour purchaser beyond
70 per cent of the average month'y
amount purchased In the four months
prior to March 1st.
Fifth Manufacturers using wheat
products for non-fond purposes should
cease such use entirely.
Sixth There is no limit upon the
use of other cereal flour and meals,
corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour.
Many thousand families throughout
the 1arrl nrc rmr tm'ntr 10 wh"-t "rod

not subsist perfectly, well with the
use of les3 wheat products than one
and one-half pounds a week, and we
, especially ask the well-to-do hou:t
' holds in th country to follow this ad
ditional program "n order that we may
provWe the necessary marginal sup
plies for these parts of the country
less able to adapt themselves to so
large a proportion of substitutes, in
order that we shall be able to make
the wheat exports that are asolutely
demanded of us to maintain the civil
population and soldiers of the allies
and our own army.
W propose to supplement the vol
untary co-operation of the public by a
further limitation of distribution and
we shall place at once restrictions on
distribution which will be adjusted
from time to time to secure as nearly
equitable distribution as possible.
With the arrival of harvest we should
be able to relax such restrictions. Un
til thec, we ask for the necessary pa
tience, sacrifice and co-operation of
the distributing trades.
