USE IF WHEAT
The federal food administrator for
Alaska has Issued notice to divisional,
district and local federal food admin
istrators in Alaska, bakers, public eat
ing places, retailers. < onsumers, and
all com erncd. of a new wheat conser
vation program of the United Slates
food administration, now effective in
the territory of Alaska, and they are
advised to govern themselves accord
ingly "Existing rules and regulations
in re wheat (tour sales and consump
tion promulgated by the federal food
admanistration for Alaska are hereby
vacated and set aside," says llie an
nouncement. and it continues;
“The recent careful survey by the
food administrators of the United
States, France, England and Italy of
the food resources of the 22n.ftnn.nno
people fighting against Germany shows
that, to maintain enough supplies and
necessary reserves against disaster,
there must be maintained in all coun
tries a conservation of wheat Hour
during the coming year.
"It has been agreed that the wheat
bread of the allies shall contain 20 per
cent of other grains than wheat, and
it is only just that we should bear
our share in this saving, and that our
bread at lesat should be ut'.iverral
with those who are suffering more
greatly from the war than ourselves.
"Idstribution and transp irtati n
circumstances in the United Slates
render it necessary to rely very largely
on the voluntary action of our homes
to enforce this mixture. The 'Victory
bread' so made is wholesome and
there is no difficulty in preparation.
We desire to emphasize the fact that
the mixtures outlined are for wheat
bread and the saving of wheat flour,
but they are not intended to displace
the large use of corn bread. We must
use the mixture with wheat flour In
addition to our normal consumption
of corn bread.
"For this purpose regulations are
formulated, effective September 1,
providing, first, for the preparation
and marketing by the manufacturing
and distributing trades of the country
of a mixed flour available for purchase
by the household; second, in regula
tions covering the case where straight
wheat flour is sold by retailers, that
at the same time 20 per cent of other
cereal flours must be sold coinciden
tally; third, requiring that all bakers'
bread shall contain 20 per cent of
other cereals, and the food adminis
tration relies upon the householders of
the country to mix at least 20 per cent
of the substitute cereals into the
wheat flour at home for all uses. Corn
meal for the use of corn bread should
be purchased separately from combi
nation sales."
The rules formulated by the food
administration provide for the elimi
nation of the “fifty-fifty" rule; retail
ers and bakers may buy wheat flour
without substitutes; consumers must
buy one pound of substitutes w ith each
four pounds of wheat flour; "Victory”
mixed flours may be sold without sub
stitutes. The rules limiting the sales
by retailers of w heat flour to an eighth
of a barrel In cities and a ciuarter of
a barrel In sparsely-settled districts
are rescinded, the substitute list is
changed and wheatless days and meals
are discontinued.
Our former townsman, \V. A. Hesse,
has been made a tirst lieutenant In
nn engineering regiment, and Is at
present at Camp Humphreys, Virginia.
