$72 Per Ton for Car Seed and $6
S Per Ton for Wagon Seed?Basis c
e These Prices Shown?Strict Obsen
q ance Will Result in Square Deal t
q All Concerned.
Columbia.?The price of cotton see
i has been stabilizeed by the Food Ac
ministration at $72 per ton for ca
y seed, and $69 per ton for wagon seec
' The basis of the above prices is a
j follows: Oil at 17% cents per pound
! meal at $55 per ton in any quantity
i hulls at $20 per ton; lint at $0,046
j per pound.
" i The Food Administration is doinj
all in its power to increase the pric<
of lint, and if the price of lint can b
: increased, the difference will be showi
in the price of meal.
The strict observance of thes*
prices by all concerned will result ii
a square deal to all interests, says th<
e Food Adminisaration.
e EFFICIENT GINNING AND CLEAN
SEED WILL BE INSISTED UPOf
=s Columbia.?The Food Administra
tion expects the prices fixed for gin
g# ning in South Cardlina to be followec
strictly. Ginning prices were fixec
recently, as follows t For ginning i
bale of 500 pounds of lint cotton o]
less, $3.50' per bale. For each addi
tional 10 Opounds of lint cotton, at th?
rate of 70 cents per 100 pounds. Wher
bagging and ties are furnished bs
ginner, $1.50 additional. The farmei
I shall have the privilege of furnishing
j his own bagging and ties.
Ginners may not charge- on weights
i including bagging and ties, but the
| prices announced are for net lint cot
ton. Bagging and ties weigh 25
I pounds. Therefore, ginners must not
| charge in excess of $3.50 a bale, uni
less the weight of the bale, including
' bagging and ties, is mor$ than 525
? pounds.
* j Efficient ginning will be insisted
? ; upon and clean seed must be deliver;
ed. Violations of these nules should
" ! be reported to the County Food Ad1
ministrator or to the Food Adminis'
f.tration at Columbia, and investigation
, will be made.
j For ginning upland long staple cot:
toa. such as is grown in Darlington
and Florence counties, an additional
i charge of $1.00 per bale is permitted.

Columbia.?The 20,000,000 people ,
fighting Germany will eat the same |
war bread. That is to say that the
war bread of the allied nations will j
hereafter be mixed in the same pro- j
portions of wheat flour and substitutes.
The "fifty-fifty" rule, which has
been in operation in America, under
which it was required that wheat
flour be sold only in equal proportion .

by new regulations Just announced by
the Food Administration and which
became effective on September 1. Instead
of "fifty-fifty," the proporvion is
"eighty-twenty."
Under this international bread policy,
formulated by the inter-allied food
council held recently in London, the
people of the allied countries are permitted
to eat bread containing more
wheat flour than they have had at any
time since tbe beginning of the war,
and all rationing of bread among the
allied peoples will be discontinued at
a time when the wheat situation in
Germany and Austria I? anything but
promising.
At the same time the wheat resources
of the allied countries will be
conserved so as to maintain the necessary
reserves against disaster; and
for that reason it becomes necessary
for the Food Administration to promulgate
the new 'eighty-twenty" rule.
The new regulations provide for the
manufacturing and marketing of a
mixed flour, to be known as Victory
Mixed Flour, under certain standards
set by the Food Administration. Victory
Mixed Flour may be purchased
for household use without buying substitutes.
Where straight wheat fiour is purfinwAver.
twenty tier cent of
other cereal flours or substitutes must
be purchased.
All bakers' bread shall contain 20
per cent of other cereals and the Food
Admiistration relies upon the house*
holders of the country to mix at least
20 per cent of the substitute cereals
into home baked bread.
Corn meal, for use of corn bread,
should be purchased separately from
' combination sales.
Ability to provide the allies with
the new bread and relaxation of, the
r restrictions on wheat in America was
made possible by the sacrifices of the
American people in their patriotic observance
of the conservation program
of the Food Administration and the
"bumper wheat crop which has just
been harvested.
SAVE SEED
it
9 Food Administration Advises Gar.
>1 deners to Save Seed for Next
* Year's Planting,
c
Columbia.?save seed ior tne production
of next year's food crop.
d This is important, and is urged by
L- the Food Administration.
1 While the production of seed will
be about normal this year, large ors
ders for vegetable seeds have been
? placed by foreign concerns for export
? to European countries, which former^
ly have been exporters of vegetable
seeds to the United States. As a
? result of this, the supply will not be
e great enough to meet the demand.
e Prices will be high, and the high
3 price and shortage of supply will
bring many inferior seed on the marE
ket. To overcome this difficulty it is
3 very necessary that every gardener
1 do his part and save seed for next
year's, planting.
' THE SUGAR RATION IS
i MEASURED IN SPOONFUL
I
\ Columbia.?How many teaspoonfuls
^ are there in one pound of sugar?
j With the sugar ration at 2 pounds
t per person per month it is well enough
r to know this.
There are 96 level teaspoonfuls?3
\ for each day.
There are 48 rounded teaspoonsfuis
s ?1^ for each day.
: There are 32 heaping teaspoon fills? '
almost 1 for each day.
I I
. It should be remembered that the 2
pounds per person per month ration j
. covers the use of sugar for all pur
poses?including the sweetening oI
tea, coffee, dessert and in cooking, i
; . j
BLAME THE KAISER.
If you are inconvenienced by
the necessity cf using less
sugar than you have been ! '
accustomed to before the war, I
don't blame the Food Adminis- |
t ration, but blame the kaiser,
lie's responsible for it all. ! <
HILL Si
SWEET POTATOES
Proper Storage Houses Should bl
Built to Care for the Crop.?Important
Product Has Been Poorly Handled
and Big Waste Results?Can
Be Avoided.
Columbia.?The proper storage of
sweet potatoes is one of the most important
food conservation measures
that can be put into effect in South
Carolina, and is urged by the Food
Administration. No perishable pro
duct grown in this State is more important
than the sweet potato, and
none, as a rule, is so poorly handled,
according to United States Depart
ment 01 Agriculture experts, to Keep
this crop in good condition the potatoes
must be well matured before digging.
carefully handled, well dried, or
cured, after being put in the storage
house, and kept at uniform temperature
after they are cured. The only
safe and practical method of storing
sweet potatoes is in a well built storage
h( lse.
Suggestions on storing sweet potatoes,
and detailed information on how
to construct a suitable storage house,
are contained in Farmers' Bulletin
970, recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
a copy of this bulletin may be had by
any interested person who will write
the Department at Washington and
make request for it
Proper storage of sweet potatoes
after they have been grown is equally
as important as making tbe pot*
toes. It is good economy to build a
substantial place for keeping the
product, for then the chances of loss
are greatly reduced, and a storare
house will soon pay for itself. There
is no food to be wasted these days,
and no one should take any chances
of loss which can be avoided, says the
Food Administration.
NEW WHEAT RULES
ARE NOW IN EFFECT !
\
Columbia.?-New rules governing the
eale of wbe&t flour, elective September
1, have been promulgated by the
Food Administration.
Retailers are required to sell at the
same time with every four pounds oi
standard wheat flour one pound of
standard corn flour, corn meal, corn
flour, or barley flour.
No dealer may force upon the consumer
any other substitute than the
above with wheat flour.
Instead of the above substitutes,
the dealer may, if customer so demands,
deliver on *he same basis any
of the following flours: Kaffir flour, j
rice flour, bean flour, oat flour, milo
flour, potato flour, buckwheat flour,
fotarita flour, peanut flour, sweet potato
flour.
Pure rye flour or meal may be sold
as a substitute but must be sold in j
the proportion of at least two pounds'
of rye with three pounds of wheat j
flour.
Corn meal for use in making corn;
bread should be purchased separately
from combination sales.
Corn meal purchased as a substitute
with wheat flour should only be used
in making Victory bread mixture.
Victory Mixed Flour may be sold
without additional substitutes as it is
wheat flour which has mixed with it
the required amount of barle^,. corn
or rye flour substitutes.
Victory Mixed Flour includes Gra>iom
vhnlo wVioaf rrr pnttra vhAfti I
flour or meal when It contains 95 per
cent or more of the wheat berry.
The necessity for conservation of
wheat flour continues, and all housekeepers
are requested by the Food
Administration to use such wheat
flour as is required carefully and conservatively.
WEIGHT OF BAGGING AND TIES
IS NOT TO BE CHARGED FOR.
Columbia.?It has come to the attention
of the Food Administration that
some of the ginners are charging on
weights which include the .weight of
bagging and ties. The ginning prices
recently announced by the Food Ad- '
ministration were for net lint cotton.
Bagging and ties weight 25 pounds to
the bale. Therefore, ginners must not
charge in excess of $2.50 per bale, for
ginning, unless the weight of the bale,
including bagging and ties, is more i
than 525 pounds. For the excess over
that weight, at the rate of 70 cents
per 100 pounds of lint cotton is the
proper charge.
TIME TO PREPARE FOR
INCREASED WHEAT ACREAGE.
Clumbia.?The world cry is for
bread. Wheat is as necessary as bullets.
The world situation calls for and
demands an increase in the acreage
planted in wheat for J.919. Now is the '
time to begin planning for next year's
program.
Farmers should select the land to
be planted to wheat, and thoroughly j
prepare the seed bed. The yield per
acre is as important as the acreage, '
hence the importance cf selecting the
farm land best adapted to wheat and
the procuring of good seed free from
disease and weed seeds. All seed
suspected of having smut should be
reated to insure against loss from
this trouble.
SELECTION OF SEED CORN
IMPORTANT AT THIS TIME.
Columbia.?Selection and testing of j
seed corn is important. Every farmer j
should go into his field, select suitable j
ears, and so mark them that they may ,
be readily distinguished. After the
seed corn is harvested it should bo
stored so as to protect it from ex- j j
tremes in weather, insects and rats. I
The labor shortage makes it absolute- j
ly necessary for the farmers to have ;
good seed in order to avoid loss of :
t;me and effort snent in replanting i
and to wake every acre produce as j
much possible at a time when big I ,
production of food crops 2B demanded a
bt7 the world situation.
