WHEAT SHOWERS TO
: GET FAIRTREATMENT
i -
I Farmer* In Thla Stat* Will Be Permitted
to Grind Wheat t* a
Liberal Extent.
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
