Columbia. ?August Kohs, iliuirioac of Conservation and Produc.tclon Ot ' the Food Administration for South Carolina, 1ms received a letter fron j the Chief of the Forage Branch of thfc | War Department. tjuarterinaster't Division, stating that offers of forage j from farmers and dealers having it for sale in the neighborhood of the army cafips 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 do ho to the best ad vantage, all things considered." 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 Chief of the Forage Branch, Office of the Quartermaster General. United States Army, Lytton Building. Chlca i o. in. Mr. Kohn has been working for some time past to assure this assur ance from the Government, as i^bas been felt that farmers in this and other States, who have forage to sell should he given consideration, especially when it is considered that the camps and cantonments ofl'^r the natural market, and the saving in freight to the Government would be a factor not to be disregarded. THE "50-50"'RULE STILL IN EFFECT. Household Released From "No Wheat" Pledges, But Must Still Use Equal .Amount of Wheat Substitutes j Columbia.? Housewives who prac tlcally put hteir homes on a wheat lean basis last Hpring have been released from their pledges by the Food Ad ministration to go absolutely without wheat until the haryest. no change has1 been made in the "fifty fifty" rule, however, housewives will continue to purchase an equal weight of wheat substitutes wlth^heir wheat flour. Bakers aro still obliged to make Victory Bread, which must contain at last 25 per cent wheat substitutes. The coming in of the new wheat crop has made it possible for the na tion to go hack partially to its old habit of eating, but the uncertainties of war and the necessity for building up a food reserve are incentive* to caution, even in the face of a good crop. Public eating places are likewise re leased from their "no wheat" pledges. allied food controllers URGE ELIMINATION OF WASTE. Columbia. ? Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator, has cabled the fol lwoing Joint resolution of the Food Controllers 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 possible to relax some of tj/e restrictions, which have been eorne with peculiar hardship upon all our peoples, yet It Is absolutely necessary that rigid economy and elimination of waste, in the consumption and hand ling of all foodstuffs as well as In creased production, should be main lalned throughout the European ailied countries and in North America. It is only by such economy and elimina tion of waste that the transportation of the necessary men and supplies from North America to the European front can bo accomplished and that stocks of foodstuffs ' itn be built up in North America as an insurant e against the ever present danger o| : harvest failure and the possible neces ! sity for large ami emergent v drafts) to Europe.
