I., WiLL BUY FORAGE FOR ARMY CAMPS South Carolina Farmers Who Have Forage to Offer Will Find Ready Market In This State-All Offere Will Be Given Consideration. Columbia.-August Kohn, chairman of Conservation and ProductcLon of the Food Administration for South Carolina, has received a letter from the Chief of the Forage Branch of the War Department. Quartermaster's Division, stating that offers of forage from farmers and dealers having it for sale in the neighborhood of the army camps and cantonments will be gladly received and will be given con sideration. "In fact, says the letter, we are here to buy forage for the government wherever we can (1o so to the bust ad vantage, all things considorod." It is advised when contractors or farmers are submitting their propos als on forage they should state the kind and grade of forage they have to sell, the quantity and its location, the time they can make shipment, and the price. If prices are satisfactory, pur chases will be made, it is assured. All proposals should be addressed to Chlof of thu Forago Branch, Ofleo of the Quartermaster General, United States Army, Lytton Building Chica go, Il1. Mr. Kohn has been working for some :imi past to assure this assur ance from the Government, as it has been felt that farmers in this and other States, who have forage to sell should be given consliueration, especially when it is considered that the camps and cantonments offer the natural market, and the saving in freight to the Government would be a factor not to be disregardeL THR "5G-50" RULE STILL IN EFFECT. Household Re4eased From "No Wheat" Pledges, But Must Still Use Equal ..Amount of Wheat Subst-itutes. Columnbla.-IlousowIves who prac tically put h'.eir homes on a whestless basis last spring have been released from their pledges by the Food Ad ministration to go absolutely without wheat until the harvest. As no change has beeni made in the "fifty fifty" rule. however, housewives will continue to purchase an equal weight of wheat substitutos with ' vir wheat flour. Bakers are still obliged to make Victory iroad, whib h n. 'a :v ac-tin at last 25 per cen'. whe:t uba iliu:es. ThI'' -om inig in of th afw wheat crop has mAdn it pnssl'An for the na tion to go back partially to its old habit of eating, but the uncertanties of war and the ne'essity for building up a food reserve are ine.intivnx to caution, even in the face of a good crop. Public eating places are likew'se re leased from their "no wheat" pledges. ALLIED FOOD CONTROLLERS URGE ELIMINATION OF WASTE. Columbia.-lerbr-t Tioover, fIMeral food admiuis'.rator, has cabled thu foi lwoin-g joint resolution of the Food t'ontrollers5 of the~ United States, France, Italy and Great Britain back to America: "Resolved, that while the increased production of the United States ren ders it possilble to relaxt some of 'mj rostr-i(rlons, which have been orne with peculIar hardshIp upon ail our peoples, yet it is absolutely necensary that rigid economy, and elimintion of waste, in thme consumptIon and hand lhng of ail foods'uitf as well z's in creaserd productison, should be main te'n"d 'biroug~hout the' l"uroploorn alliedi countries and in North Amrb~l-a.

"We cannot in honor compel Europe to do with less while we take more for ourselves," says the Wood Admin istration.
