NEW FOOD RULINGS. Farmers Urged to Market Wheat and Public to Conserve It’s Use. Col. W. Fred Reynolds, food admin- istrator of Centre county, has issued the following call to the farmers of Centre county to market all their sur- plus wheat by the first of May, and also new rules for bakers and the pub- lic generally on the conservation of wheat and wheat products: To the Farmers of Centre County: That we may comply with the ur- gent demands of the allies for wheat and at the same time take care of our own domestic supplies we urgently need this year an earlier and complete marketing of the wheat in farmer’s hands than usual. The allies are tak- ing from us fifty per cent. of other cereals than wheat to mix in their bread. Inasmuch as the people in allied countries and the soldiers must: be fed with bread baked in bakeries it is impossible for them to prepare bread made wholly out of other cere- als and we must furnish them with sufficient wheat to maintain their bakery loaf. I therefore appeal to all of the farmers in the county that they shall bring all of their wheat except their necessary reserve for seed to market before May first. This is a war call and a service for Uncle Sam who is fighting for his life. If any miller is unable to buy all the wheat that is offered communicate with me. Mr. Hoover can feel assured that the farmers of Pennsylvania will answer his appeal to market all wheat before May first with the exception of re- serve for seed. Our farmers are as patriotic as any others and as de- termined to win the war. W. F. REYNOLDS, Federal Food Administrator of Centre County. To the Bakeries of Centre County: “The urgent needs of the allies for an increased supply of wheat flour and our own short crop make it nec- essary that the amount of substitutes required in the baking of all Victory bread be increased to 25 per cent. on April 14th. The situation may demand a still further increase later on.” Bakers will take this as their offi- cial notice to make the necessary preparations to bake bread and rolls 25 per cent. substitutes by above men- tioned date. Bakers who will increase substitutes to 25 per cent before April 14th will be doing a patriotic service. W. F. REYNOLDS, Federal Food Administrator of Centre County. For the Public Generally: The following rules have been is- sued by the U. S. Food Administra- tion: To affect the needed saving of wheat, we are wholly dependent up- on the voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that these rules shall be observed: 1. Householders to use not to ex- ceed a total of 13 pounds per week of wheat products, per person. This means not more than 1% pounds of Victory bread, containing the requir- ed percentage of substitutes, and about 3 pound of cooking flour, maca- roni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. 2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week (Monday and Wednesday) as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve in the aggregate a total of more breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pas- try, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast ce- reals containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour to any one guest, at any one meal. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Pubile eating establish- ments not to buy more than 6 pounds of wheat products per month, per guest; thus conforming with limita- tions requested of the householder. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a bar- rel to any country customer at any one time and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold by delivery of the £ pound loaf where one pound was sold before and corresponding proportions in other weights. We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond seventy per cent. of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March 1. 5. Manufacturers using wheat pro- ducts for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. 6. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, ete. : ; W. F. REYNOLDS, Federal Food Administrator of Centre County. o-oo Marriage Licenses.

Elmer Long, of Bellefonte, better known as “Abe,” who is now located in Williamsport as a recruiting officer for the U. S. Navy, has the proper method for treating offensive charac- ters when they come into his office to interfere with his work, as witness the following from last Friday’s Wil- liamsport Sun: Recruiting officer Abe Long, of the navy station, in the postoffice bulding, ejected Oscar H. Eck, of 331 Brandon place, from the office. The recruiting : 1 ! officer claims that Eck made offensive | { remarks about the navy and the char- | acter of its enlisted men and recruits. t The trouble first started over the {proposed enlistment of Eeck’s son, | Ralph Walter Eck, aged nineteen | years and seven months, as an ap- ! prentice seaman. Eck’s father went to the recruiting station and protest- ed. The recruiting officer states that he endeavored to point out the benefit of the enlistment, but Eck refused to listen, declaring that the navy is made up of a lot of bums, roughnecks, ete. The officer declares that Eck stated he would spend $2,000 to get his son out of the navy and if he enlisted he would not allow him to return home. When ordered out of the office he re- fused to go and Long helped him out. The law permits enlistments at the age of eighteen. OAT SMUT A MENACE. Campaign to Increase the Oat Produc- tion in Centre County. County farm agent R. H. Olmstead says the most important factor effect- ing the yield of oats in Centre county is oat smut. Oat smut is a disease that is underestimated but which is present more or less in every field of oats in the country unless the seed has been properly treated. It is a fungus disease of black, smutty dust balls which cling to the outside of the seed. When the oats begin to grow the smut grows inside of the tissues and at blooming time it takes posses- sion of the head. Our only solution in getting rid of the disease is clean seed. TREATMENT FOR THE SMUT. Prepare a solution by mixing one pint of 40 per cent. formaldehyde with 40 gallons of water. After the oats have been cleaned spread out on a clean floor and sprinkle with this so- lution until damp enough to pack in the hand. Keep turning with a shov- el till all the oats have been thorough- ly moistened. When thoroughly moistened shovel into a pile and cover with sacks, blan- kets or old carpets. The oats should be left in this pile from 4 to 6 hours when they should be scattered out in a thin layer and raked over every two or three hours to hasten drying. The sacks, bin and drill should be sprink- led also to insure a thorough treat- ment. The formaldehyde can be bought at any drug store for about fifty cents a pint, which is sufficient to treat about 50 bushels of seed oats. Several demonstrations will be held in the county during the coming two weeks. Mr. Olmstead is going through the treatment of some farm- ers’ oats and his neighbors are com- ing in to see the demonstration. If anyone is interested in having such a demonstration in their community get in touch with the Centre county Farm Bureau at Bellefonte. PINE GROVE MENTIONS CONT’D.

While William Thompson was tak- ing in the sights in our village on Wednesday evening his horse broke loose and departed for home at break- [ neck speed.

After running two miles and a half the horse was caught by Fred Fry, who telephoned the Thompson family that the animal was safe and unhurt. Saturday afternoon while Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Tressler and grand daugh- ter, Elizabeth Miller, were out for a spin in Mr. Tressler’s new Ford they met another car and Mr. Tressler be- coming a little nervous lost control of the steering wheel and ditched the car.
