The Pood Administration has again authorised the u*e of millers' certificate*}, and county food administrators have been notified to this effect by William Kl llott. Federal Food Administrator for South Carolina. The farmer may, for instance, take hia corn to the mill and have it ground Into either meal or corn flour <mot hominy or grits), secure a miller's cer tlflcate showing the number of pounds of corn or corn Hour ground, take this certificate to the retail dealer In flour, surrender It to him, and buy from the dealer four pounds of wheat flour for each pound of corn flour or corn meal he has had ground, an shown on Ivls certificate,, without purchasing addi tional: substitutes with his flour. The only wheat flour substitutes which retailors may require their cus tomers to accept In buying wheat flour under the rules of the Food ' Admin istration at present in effect, are corn flour, corn meal or barley flour. If the farmer has his own corn ground, and agToea to use such substitutes, i and has hlsl miller's certificate to show for it, he is not required to buy addl ,tlonal wheat flour 8ubetltut.ee, but the dealer is authorized to sell him, In the proper proportions, on the strength of 1 millers' certificates. The millers' certificate rule does not; however, permit merchants to sell flour on such certificates which show tluit the farmer has had hi* corn ground into hominy or grits.
