LOSSES KONEY TJEPUEE potential value or Live stock rsinea on Railroad Rights of Way in South Carolina Upwards of $100,000 a Year But Loss is in Meat and Leather Needed by the Army?Protect Live 8tock. Columbia.?Losses of live stock, ktlled on railroad rights of way, in South Carolina, are upwards of $50,000 a year. Th8 loss cannot, however, be measured in terms of money. As Charles Barham, of the Food Administration, traffic and transportation department, has expressed it, "Money is the cheapest thing in America today." The loss is in meat and leather, so eoreiy neeaeu uy tue govercimein for the nation's fighting men. Since the greatest proportion of the losses are in "scrub" stock?stock which could and otherwise would be fattened and prepared for the slaughter house?the potential loss, in meat, leather and fats, is probably more than $100,000 a year in South Carolina alone. This is, furthermore, a less which can be avoided. The State Council of Defense has realized the seriousness of these losses at a time when meat, leather and fats are too precious to be wasted; and following a conference held this week with Mr. Barham and several railroad officials, is making a personal appeal to the owners of live stock throughout the state, asking them, in the public interest and as a patriotic duty, to keep their stock #p. Live stock owners are being asked to sign pledges to safeguard their stock against being killed or maimed by passing trains. There is only one way?that is to keep the stock up so they cannot wander near the railroad. Money cannot replace hogs and cattle killed in this way. In communities where there is no stock law in force, citizens are urged by the Council of Defense and the Food Administration to protect their own interests and the national interest by taking immediate steps looking toward the adoption of such laws. TREAT YOUR SEED WHEAT BEFORE PLANTING Probably the worst evil farmers who plant wheat have to contend with is smut. Thousands of bushels of grain are lost annually as a result of smut. Smut is a disease ?f wheat, and can be prevented wwwv*ubvi;. x iuuiuuu XO IV treat the seed before planting. Use blue-stone or formaldehyde. Make good wheat and help win the war by treating your seed wheat. Let Uncle Sam know you will do your part in making a real "Liberty Harvest." Treat your wheat. MAY PURCHASE LARGER SUGAR SUPPLY AT TIME Columbia.?All retail dealers in sugar in South Carolina have been authorized by the Food Administration to sell to consumers a two weeks' supply of sugar at one time, allowing two pounds per person per month. This mea'ns, for instance, that if there are sfix persons in a family, the head ot the household may purchase six pounds of sugar at one time. During any one month, however, dealers must ^?o11 m At*o fV* ot> ronf + nr/% iiw\ ovxi mvio uiau i ok LX\J jll \JL tnv pounds per person or, in the case already referred to, not more than 12 pounds, as this arrangement is being made by the Food Administration merely for the convenience of the consumer, and does not by any means imply any slackening of the sugar regulations. The necessity of conserving sugar is as urgent as ever. According to new instructions given dealers, they are required to keep a record in writing of all the sugar sold to individual customers. This record must show the name of the purchaser of the sugar, his postoffice address, the amount 01 sugar purcnasea, ana uie date on which the purchase is made. These records must be kept where they will be available for inspection by representatives of the Food Administration. The rule limiting the sale of sugar to two pounds at one time to people living in towns and cities, and to five pounds to persons residing in rural sections has been repealed. SAVE THE WASTE. One hundred million cups of cofi?ee are used daily in the United States. Seventy million cups of tea are used daily in the United States. If an average of one-half teaspoonful is left undissolved at the bottom of each cup of tea. and coffee, the waste would be 1,700,000 pounds of sugar daily.. Stir your sugar until di> solved. It is estimated tnat On. ] half to one-tliird of all sugars |j used in the homfs is use l in l ? and coffee. Think It over; I * \ is it in your home9 4 i : - -4 ^ / ; ri&iJ. ; ? .... Millers Certificates ! Again Authorized Farmers Who Have Their Own Corn Ground Into Meal or Corn Flour, Will Not Be Required to Purchase ! Wheat Substitutes With Wheat Flour if They Secure Millers' Cer^ tificates and Surrender These to j Merchant* Columbia.?Under the rules of the Food Administration now in effect, under wliich four pounds of wheat flour may be purchased to one pound of substitutes, known as the 80-20 rule? this substituting the 50-50 rule?farm ers may purchase flour, in this propor- i tk>n>, upoD the surrender to their deal-! ers of millers' certificates. The Food ' Administration has again authorized the use of millers' certificates, and county food administrators have been notified to this effect by William ElH/-V++ TTor? ay a 1 4/lminioirii+nr f/vr South Carolina. The farmer may, for instance, take his com to the mill and have it ground into either meal or corn flour (.not hominy or grits), secure a miller's certificate showing the number of pounds of corn or corn flour ground, take this certificate to the retail dealer in flour, surrender it to him, and buy from the .

The only wheat flour substitutes which retailers may require their custonlers to accept in buying wheat flour under the rules of the Food Administration at present in effect, are corn I flour, corn meal or barley flour. If | the farmer has his own corn ground, j and agrees to use such substitutes, J V Vi - ~ HI oViA?r ! <%UU 1XCU3 ilia 11J1HC1 o V/OtuuMkc iv auu r? I for it, he is not required to buy addii tional wheat flour substitutes, but the I dealer is authorized to sell him, in the | proper proportions, on the strength of millers' certificates. The millers' certificate rule does not, however, permit merchants to sell j flour on such certificates which show ; that the farmer has had his corn ground into hominy or grits. Mir CHARI5E ONLY i REASONABLE PROFIT i t Food Administration Protects Farm-* ers by Forbidding Dealers in Wheat MiH Feeds to Charge More Than a Fixed Margin of Profit Columbia.?Retail dealers of wheat mill feeds, rice polish, rice bran, dried beet pulp and cotton seed products in South Carolina have been notified by the Food Administration that no more than a reasonable advance over the delivered price of any particular feeds sold shall be charged, under Rule 1 of Special License Regulations, No. 25, which became effective October 1. Under these rules, the Food Administration announces margins in excess of the following schedule in case of mill feeds, rice feeds and dried beet pulp, will be considei exc<?ssive. The schedules given are maximum, and do mot justify charges in excess of this customarily charged in any particular r>r msp whp.rp thf? Iawpt charges will insure a reasonable profit. y "1. Where one or more farmers purchase in advance of delivery in full carloads, take delivery at car and pay cash when retail dealer is required to meet sight draft, $1.00 per ton, plus demurrage, if any. "2. Where one or more farmers purchase in advance of delivery in fujl carloads, take delivery at car and pay cash on. delivery, $1.50 per ton plus demurrage, if any. "3. Where farmer purchases and takes delivery at car and pays for it on delivery in ton lots or more, but, less than car lots, $2.00 per ton. "4. Where farmer purchases and takes delivery at car and pays for ft on delivery in lots less than one ton, $2.50 per to?. "5. Sale ex-warehouse in lots of one ton or more, 54.00 per ton. "6. Sale ex-warehouse in lots of less than one ton, $5.00 per ton. "7. One dollar may be added to the foregoing margins when sale is made on credit, or at drier's option the legal rate of interest may be charged. "8. One dollar shall be deducted from the margins prescribed in 5 and 6 when the retailer buys on credit and the jobber's margin fe thereby increased $1.00 per ton." The above margins will also apply to the sale of cotton seed meal cake and hulls by retail feed dealers, except where different margins have been prescribed by the Food Administrator for the State. "The United Staffs Food Administration considers that in scales of feeding stuffs at retail the advance on any individual sale should not in any case exceed the purchase pri<;e delivered at warehouse door, pins 15 per cent. Where delivery is made to the consumer, reasonable cartage charges may be added. The Food Administration will, therefore, consider any sale of feeding stuffs in excess of '.dvan<<3 as a violation.
