ISSUE NEW RULING
ON SALE OF FLOUR
People May Buy More Fleur
But Must Continue the Use
of Substitutes
County Food Administrator
A. K. Goodnight has furnished
The Journal the following of
ficial copy of the new ruling
on the sale of flour which was
issued last Saturday by State
Food Administrator, Hamp
Williams.
In recognition of the great
record made by the people of
Arkansas in food conservation
generally, and as a reward for
their wonderful sacrifice sev
eral months ago, when the\ re
turned to their government
their surplus flour, the follow
ing special ruling for Arkan
sas through the tfourtesj of the
United States Food Adminis- j
tration is announced.
1. Effctive July 15, l'louv
may be sold not to exceed 24
pounds in the city and 48 j
pounds in the country
2. Where a consumer has,
substitutes equal to the amount
of flour purchased, said con
sumer will not be required to j
buy additional substitutes.
Merchants are required to get
from consumer statement on
one’s honor that consumer has
substitutes and will faithfully
use substitutes 50-50 with the,
flour purchased.
If purchaser does not have j
substitutes, no flour shall be i
sold until an equal amount of
substitutes are secured.
The following are officially
declared substitutes: Com j
meal, corn flour, corn starch,
rice, rice flour and barley flour
In Arkansas it is possible for
the consumer to get substit tes.
All dealers are hereby order
ed to get substitutes in order:
to make legal their sales of ■
flour.
HOTELS, RESTAURANTS
This ruling shall not include
hotels, restaurants, boarding
houses, saw mill and logging
camps, which places shall con
tinue for the present under
previous regulations prescribed
by the United States Food Ad
ministration. New regulations
for such establishments will be
announced later by this office
and transmitted to those in
terested by E. R. Wiles, Chair
man of the Hotel and Restaur
ant Division of the Food Ad
ministration of Arkansas.
I
MILLERS AND BUYERS __ j
In exceptional cases only,
and where it can be proven
and it is true, that a miller can
furnish wheat flour and not
the full 50 per cent substitutes
said Miller may furnish the
buyer not less than 30 per
cent substitutes, and flour up
to, and not to exceed, 70 per
cent of the buyers normal con
sumption.
In cases where the retail;
merchant has his own substi- j
tutes and flour up to, and not
to exceed, 70 per cent of the I
buyers normal consumption.
In cases where the retail j
merchant has bis own substi
tutes to the amount of not less
than 30 per cent of his normal
consumption, and will agree to
keep in stock at all times that
amount, the jobber may sell
him 50 per cent of his normal
consumption.
{CONSERVATION IS STILL
NECESSARY
The suspension for the time
being of the 6 pound per per
son rule must NOT BE TAKEN
by the people to mean no fur
ther saving of flour is neces
Jsary. Officials in Washngtor
’inform us that rigid conserva
tion is vitally important and foi
the following reasons:
A. New wheat crop of
*
great magnitude is not yet cer
tain.
B. Present supply of floui
in United States is unusually
i small.
C. A great percent of floui
from new crop is to be stored
in national reserve.
D. Demand for flour for
our army and Allies is becom
ing greater each month.
E. If government exports
wheat more foreign ships will
be put into transports
F. Even if bumper crop ma
terializes, national reserve is
still necessary, as we do
not know what additional de
mands, aside from those afore
mentioned, will be guide on
the United States in the near
future.
G. That greater demands
than ever before will be forth
coming appears almost certain.
The government lias suspen
ded the 6 pound per person
rule as a regard for past pa
triotic conservation. The pres
ent increase will only be per
mitted to continue by the strict
adherence to the 50-50 rule.
As a most vital war measure
and in grateful recognition oi
the government’s consideration
in your behalf at this time, i
most seriously urge the people
ot Arkansas to be faithful in
this trust and comply with the
50-50 rule and eat substitutes
with flour.
Don’t tarnish Arkansas’ past
record—the most wonderful
and self-sacrificing of any
state in the Union.
