J, Dills has resigned as County Food Administrator and I have been appionted to the fill the place, and I want to appeal to every man, woman and child in the county to help me carry on this work; and es pecially do I ask the merchants to give me ell the aid they possibly can. It i3 they who are in closest touch with the food situation, : and the aid they can render will go a long way toward helping to carry out the rules and regulations laid out by the United States Food Administrator. Now if any one knows of any of the rules being violated they wHl do their country a service if they will report such violations to me. The Food Administration does not want to be hard on any ope, and that is the very reason why every one should help enforce the rules and regulations. Because if part of the people use flour, sugar and other articles of food that are scarce. in exsess of their allotment, then some body will be compelled to do without, and the edministration wants everybody to fare alike, whether rich or poor.

IN Raleigh, -North Carolina farmers will receive from 15 to 20 cents per bushel more for this; year's crop of wheat than they .did for last years crop, according to a state ment from Food Adminstration offi cials to-day. The whole policy of the Food Adminstration Grain Corpo ration for the stabilization of the flour and wheat industries have been changed and under the new permanent plan maximum prices are in etiect, nxea for flour and for mill feeds. Lach mill in the State has its own individual basis and the average prices in the State are approximately $10.85 per barrel for flour and $3&50 per ton for mil1 eeds. These prices are bulk, carlots at mHls, and mills are allowed to add cost of bags and, where the pro ducts are sold to retailers or con- . mm m . suraers, tney are allowed to add one dealer's profit. According to the permanent plan of the Grain Corporation, the average "fair price" for wheat in North Carolina is approximately $2.45 per bushel on a basis of No. 1 Red winter wheat. The price for No. 2 wheat would be $2.41 and the price for No. 3 in to which most of the wheat in N. C. this year will fall, would be approximately $2.38 with poorer grades ranging lower. These prices of wheat are not fix ed. The mills are allowed a defini te ''spread ' on their milling opera tions and they will naturally pay such a price for wheat as is - war ranted by the prices they receive extent than last, prices of flour and feeds will be regulated by the law of supply and demand. In all prob ability wheat will sell at the mills inN. C, at $2.35 to $2.40 per bn. although a considerable portion of light wheat will sell at a lower level. W. 8. 8. FBD1TI F iUIT!

We can afford to waste nothing. BECAUSE: 1. German submarine sunk sugar, 2. - German submarines sunk sugar boats. 3. Boats have been released to help feed Belgium. 4. Germans have rendered useless sugar beet factories of Northern France. 5. Our own crop of sugar is small er than anticipated. Are you a "good provider Mrs. Housekeeper? Ihen full steam ahead on canning. Never mind the shortage of sugar. Take pare of the fruit now and the future will take care of itself. Who says you neeed sugar for canning? You don't! SAVE SUGAR IN CANNING. Sugar is not needed as a preserv ative if fruit is properly sterilized and sealed. By canning we can get along without the use of heavy syr ups and thus save sugar.
