Intensified Food Program. To meet the demands of the des perate condition that exists in Europe with regard to the food situation, the Food Administration has announced an intensified food conservation pro gram. The 1918 home instruction card which will be available for every household In the State within the next two weeks calls for: Two wheatless days in each week and ene wheatless meal very day. The wheattess days will be Monday und Wednesday. ' One meatless day tfEueadey) and one porkless 4r (Saturday), and a meatless meal a eaeh day of the week. Terms Expialaetf. On wheatless days and in wheatles meals no wheat bread, crackers, pas try, macaroni or breakfast food con taining wheat should be used beyond the amount necessary to thicken soups or gravies or bind together corn meal or other substitute cereals. On meat less days no pork or beet products of any kinds or mutton or lamb should be served, fish, potritry and game being substitutes. On porkless day and on other days mutton and lamb should be used in preference to beef. Every day should be fat-saving day and sugar-saving day, and at every meal fruits, vegetables, potatoes, milk and all other more or less perishable and local products should be used as largely as possible In the place of wheat, beef, pork, fats and sugar which are beet adapted to export.

WE AT AND CORN 18 NOW AT HIGHEST. Raleigh North Carolina farmers: who are holding last season's wheat and corn for prices above those that are ruling at pren- warned by State Food Administrator Henry A. Page that they are taking an exceed ingly long chance. Mr. Page has mad two trips to Washington in the inter est of North Carolina wheat grower and roller mills and as a result of his efforts the wheat grower is getting a. considerable advance over the price that he would have gotten otherwise, hence, Mr. Page's good faith in his present warning to the farmers cannot be discounted. The situation with regard to wheat and corn is this: Through the actlvitlee of the U. S. Grain Corporation, the price ot wheat has been stabilised at $2.20 per bushel, Chicago basis- Mills are unable t secure any except Vocal wheat except through the Grain Corporation; and elevators, and dealers and farmers having no market at a higher figure are selling almost altogether to or through the Grain Corporation. So, re gardless of any shortage or other con dition which ordinarily might lead to high prices, the price of wheat is no more likely to advance than the price ot sugar. In fact, a maximum of $12.50 per barrel has been fixed upon fleur and this' doesn't allow a higher price for wheat than that which is ruling at present In North Carolina. As for corn: in pneo m ui -rles at different points in North Caro lina and the United States from $1.25 to $2.00 per bushel. This variation Is due entirely to the congested condi tion of the railroads. Corn for March delivery in New York and Chicago is selling at $1.24 per bushel, notwith standing the fact that cash corn is selling around $1.77. As the railroad conditions are cleared tbe variation In prices will disappear and corn will probably be steadied tor the season at somewhere around $1.60 per bushel. m.. ibnnniinit and the Food Ad ministration feel that the farmer who makes his crops by the sweat ot Ms brow is entitled to every consideration insofar as tho marketing of his crops Is concerned. Absolutely no restric tions have been placed upon him as to thne or prices at which he shall sell. The truth Is that the tamers comprise
