Columbia.?William Elliott, food administrator for South Carolina, recently attended a meeting of the food administrators of the several states in Washington, at which time the ' question of grinding wheat in South Carolina was carefully considered and upon the authority of Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator, the statement has been made that the most liberal treatment, with respect to grinding, will be accorded the growers of wheat in this stata. The exact 1 terms of the instructions to millers i have not yet been determined upon, but will be announced in the near fueure. In the meantime, however, the growers of wheat can rest assured that the present rules concerning the amount that a farmer can have ground will be greatly altered, and that a farmer will be permitted to have his wheat ground to a liberal extent. ?????????? EVERYBODY HELPING AVE FOOD NOW Not Only the Housewife, But the Men, the Hotels and Restaurants and the Farmers, Have Got the Habit. Columbia.?In the first months of food conservation, the housewives of !). ? 1 J uio vuuuu/ nci? Ulivu IICOJU IU complain and to ask: "What la the use of trying to ave food In our kitchena when waste on so much larger acale ia going on everywhere?" The men, In public eating places, were particularly pointed out as wasters; and it i was complained that In the manufacture of food there was another big waste. If this was true several months ago, however. It is no longer a fair complaint The men of the country, both In business and In private, aro doing their part, in a patriotic way. to conserve the world's food. Since the increasing need of saving wheat has been made plain by the food administration, many hotels and restaurants all over the country have voluntarily pledged themselves to do without wheat until the next harvest. And now an effort is to be made to Increase the coming wheat harvest by cleaner threshing. It has been estimated that three bushels of -grain la every 100 bushels threshed can be saved by better methods. Where grain has been exceptionally poofly threshed as much as 10 per cent has gone into the straw stack. To correct this waste has become very Important in view of the nation's war needs, and the food administration has this year established a special grain threshing division to carry on a campaign of education and to actually help the farmers of the country to properly and to thoroughly thresh their grain. Still another effort to inorease the flour output during this crisis is being made by i^rglng farmers not to hold over any of their crop for seed. Even if we have only a normal erop there Is little fear that any risk would he run in not holding over seed for next year's sowing. During the next two to three months every bushel of grain that can be recovered may play an Important part In the drama of war. I rULI I IOAL HAnHbUtS PUT UNDER THE BAN Columbia.?With the opening of the political campaigns In South Carolina, the food administration again urges that political barbecues, such as have been the custom in many parts of the state In past years, be eliminated this war year. William Elliott, food administrator for South Carolin, recently stated that political barbecues would be frowned npon by the food administration. The great waste Incident to barbecues is, of course, the reason nrged. afid in the present world crisis with reference to the food supply and the absolute necessity of sarlng everything that oan be saved to help feed a hungry world the food adml? Istratlon not only feels justified in asking that no barbecues be held, but it is felt that patriotic people will voluntarily abstain from such Indulgences. SUGAR POR CANNING SHOULD BE SECURED Columbia.?The food administration is urging that all persona who can fruits and vegetables for market obtain their entire sugar requirements for the 1918 season as early as possible. Federal food administrations in all ths states are also being Instructed to see that manufacturers of essential food products requiring sugar take the first opportunity of building up their supplies. The food administration takes the position that preserves and jams are essential foodstuffs. and that canners perform a valuable conservation function. la the event that it is necessary to redure still further the shipping tonnage that brings sugar to ,the United States, the food administration is endeavoring to guard against any possible loss of the fruits aad vegetables that could he saved by canning aad reset ving. ? _ *; > . ;f > vr I - . ? k .
