Wheat Mill Feeds Will Be Scarce Warns Scoville
WETHERSFIELD August 14 Special Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville warned Connecticut farmers that mill feeds will be scarce this winter as the Food Administration tightens wheat controls. He outlined how farmers can dispose of wheat via licensed mills and mills’ exchange options, including a central purchase price of 2.49 per bushel with minor adjustments. The plan allows toll or exchange flour to supply eight pounds per person per month through August 1, 1919, contingent on farm-grown wheat certification and use for human consumption only.
