Bakers Begin Victory Loaf Production Under War Food Rules
Bakers started producing the Victory loaf with a five percent substitute for wheat under the Food Administration 1918 conservation program. Grocers will sell wheat flour only if buyers also purchase an equal amount of another cereal. Substitution will rise to twenty percent by February 24. Hotels and eateries must follow baking rules. Wholesalers and retailers face a 70 percent cap on wheat flour purchases to conserve supply. The plan also includes two wheatless days, one meatless day, two porkless days, and a ten percent voluntary sugar reduction.
