WARNING TO FARMERS. OWNERS OF GRIST MILLS, AND TO OTHER USERS OF GRAIN. UNDER the Wheat, Rye and Ri^e Re. strietion Order and the Barley Restric- tion Order THE WSE FOR THE FEEDING OF ANIMALS AND OF POULTRY OF WHEAT AND BARLEY which are fit for manufacture into flour for human food IS PROHIBITED. In spite of this prohibition reports are re ceiveci by the Food Controller from all p-.rts of the country that animals and poultry are being fed on these grains. It has been suggested ,that this infringe- ment is not caused by any wilful unpa- triotic action, but arises from ignorance of the meaning of the Orders. FARMERS AND OTHER USERS OF GRAINS ARE THEREFORE WARNED that all wheat and barley which can be used for it-he manufacture of flour fcr human food is required and must in the National interest be reserved for that purpose. THE FEEDING OF ANIMALS OR POULTRY WITH SUCH GRAINS IS A SUMMARY OFFENCE AGAINST THE LA n AND IS PUNISHABLE BY FINE AND IMPRISONMENT. THE FACT THAT WHEAT OR BARLEY IS OUT OF CONDITION DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT IS UNFIT FOR MILLING. Such grain should not be used as feed for animals until it has been offered for sale to every avail- able miller, dealer and malster, or owner of kilns. Arrangements have been made which it is hoped will lead to a market being available for such grains if in any way fit for the manufacture of flour for human consumption. It is essential in the National interest that the Grain Orders issued by the Food Con- troller should be implicitly obeyed and any person infringing them will be vigorously prosecuted. WARNING IS ALSO HEREBY GIVEN TO OWNERS OF GRIST MILLS that it is a summary offence for them to aid or abet any person in the infringement of the Grain Orders, and that it is their duty in t'he National interest to report to the Food Con- troller without delay every case in which they are asked to prepare for animal con- sumption grain which could be ued for the purpose of HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

MILITARY NOTES AND QUERIES
MILITARY NOTES AND QUERIES [By Our Military Expert.] REPLIES TO CORRESPONDENTS. S.E.—As you are a serving soldier, the procedure you must adopt for securing a commission is to submit an applicatIt. for same to your C.O. It would be as well to submit it in writing. Give full particulars of your abilities, service, etc. Best wishes for your success Mns H.—I sympathise very much with you in the awkward position, and I suggest you make an application at once for assist- iancie from the Officers' Families Fu'i.i, Berkely-square, London, W. I am hopeful your application will be quite, successful. ExEMPiER.—Protection certificates, unlike certificates of exemption granted by Tribu- nals, dc nocarry with then; any automatic periods of grace when they are withdrawn. However, on receiving a call up to The Colours, you would have the right to submit an appeal to a Tribunal for exemption with- in seven days. INQUIHJSR.—Wife and four children, if all the children under 14, would receive an allowance of 31s. per week. LIABILITY.—If you are a. previously re- jected and unntte-sted man, then you are no longer liable for military service if yoa have passed tlie age of 41 without having been sent a medical re-examination notice undei the Review of Exceptions Act. MRS. W.—(1) The schedule rate of pen- sion for a widow with two children is JS1 s. lid. per week (2) As that sum would lot egual one-half of your husband's earnags (of 47s. \6d. per week) before he joined i.p, an alternative pension, equalling the one- half of his earnings, may be granted you. But, unfortunately, that alternative pmsion (£1 3s. 9d. per week) will only pIIIC1; you lOd. a week better off. (3) The Civil Liabili- ties grant you are now in receipt of will, I am sorry to say, be discontinued as soon as you are granted the pension. (4) Kindly accept my sincemst sympathy in ?our be- reavement. X.X.—When you were re-examined under the Review of Exceptions Act oi June 4t'a liitjt, you were accepted for service by virtue of you being classified C2, althoigh not then required to join the Colours. Ir. view of this, )the Military are within their powers in notifying you f)r another is certificate of exemption. SAPPIXG.— If you were comiiisorilv-tbat is. without your coneent-trm.Eferrcd to the R.F.A. from the Engineers, you should, ac- cording to the regulations gjverning cases cf compulsory transfer, coritiruc to receive thl) higher rate of pay you vere receiving in the Engineers, unless the Army Council has directed otherwise. If ony the smaller rate of pay is being issued t» you. demand t;ie official authority for su:a action. T. R. -If you have b'en discharged from the Army ae physically unfit. and not gran- ted any pension on tlieground that your dis- ability was not cause( by military service, whereas you conside- it was, you should submit an appeal to tie Pensions Appeal Tri- bunnl. 22. Abingcjn-streot, Westminster, London, S.W. LUMP Su-,t.-Yot, certainly can apply to the Pensions Minisry for a lump sum to be issued to you instoid of the 5s. a, week pen- sion which you aI\ in receipt of on account of the death of Pl-lr son in action. But it would, of course, rest with the Ministry as to whether the,, granted the ajppl'laation. They have, howler, power to grant it under the regulations. I may, add that if the 5s. week is a life pnsion. you should not accept a less sum thn £100 for surrendering it. That's about he correct surrender value of it G AXLIPOLI. -If you were discharged on account of ilness contracted on active ser- vice "abroac," then you are entitled to the silver badg', and, as you eerved with the Welsh FieH Co. of the Royal Engineers, YOU sheuldmake the application for it to the Officer. co Territorial Force Records, Shrewsbuy. M.R.—Zour boy being a pupil teacher when h' enlisted was practically in the same position ns an apprentice. And the parents of apprentices who can show that hardshp is being caused them hv the ab- sence of the extra earnings the laid would now ;ave been receiving, had he istill been in oiil life, may be granted an allowance not exceeding 12s. 6d. a we -k by the local Wa Pensions Committee—provided r.o allwanee at all is bping paid by the Army fo, the lad; cr. if only a small allowance is bmg- paid, it can be supplemented by them u to the 12s. 6d Only the local War Pen- sans Committees can. however, deal with dch cases of apprentices who would now )aye been earning more. The Army autlio- rities cannot take any action, because tho regulations do not permit of them doing so. Your case is therefore entirely in the hands of your local War Pensions Commit tee. But. if you think their decision in respect of it is unfair, you should bring the matttvr to the notice of Col. Stanton.

UNIFORMITY OF PRICES
UNIFORMITY OF PRICES IMPORTANT CONFERENCE OF FOOD COMMITTEES AT CARMARTHEN. MILK, BUTTER, AND MEAT. An important conference of all the food control committees in the county was held at the Snire Hall, Carmarthen, on Monday. with a view to fixing uniform price,, in the county of milk, J>utter, and meat. Aid. John Lewis (Carmarthen) presided. Mr. T. M. Evans (Ammanford), who was appointed secretary of the conference, said his committee at Ammanford felt it was absurd to have one price fixed in one dis- trict and another price in a neighbonriilg district, because food would drift to the place where the higher prices ruled. They also felt strongly that they should not have only uniform prices for the whole county, but in the contiguous portions of 'Glamor- gan. When dealing with the question of milk, the Chairman said that at Carmarthen the local committee had fixed the price at ?>d. per quarr firm now on to December 2nd and at 6d. from that date till March 31st. The milk vendors were present at the meeting, and were satisfied with this price. In fact, it was they who suggested it Mr. Mathews (Llandebie) said a confer- 1 .a ence at Ammanford had also dccided on the same price. Dr. J. H. Williams (Bu-rry Port) said in Swansea the price fixed for November was 7d. per qu-.iirt, and it was suggested that it should be 7yd. for December The Food Controller had fixed the maximum price of milk at Is. 7?<i. per gallon, but there was no guarantee that dealers paid l". 7d. for it. They should find out what retailers did actually pay for it. If a retailer paid only Is. 5d. lie coulql afford to sell it cheaper than the man who had to pay the maximum of Is. 7Ad. In Burry Port the j price fixed was 6d .per quart, but the Com- missioner had asked them to fix it at 7d. next month,. but the local committee were not going to do it. If they took sugges- } tion-s from the Commissioner they might land themselves in paying 3d. and 9d. per quart. Mr. David Jennings (Llanelly) said in Llanelly practically sixty per cent, of the milk consumed was boug-ht by dairymen who had to pay the full price for it, and I they could not retail it at less than 7d. per quart, which was the price fixed by the local committee. C, Mr. Martin Knoyle ( wmaniinan) pro- posed that that conference recommend the local food committees to fix the price of milk at 6d. per quart for the whole county, except in Llanelly, where it should be 7d., as frcm December 1st to March 3l?t.—Mr. Mathews seconded. Dr. J. H. Williams said the -notion would mean that the industrial districts contigu- ous to Llanelly would have no milk at all. If they hud two rates 'n the county they would have a worse muddle than at present. He proposed an amendment that they have a flat rate of '5d. per quarr for the whole county.—Mr. Lewis Roderick (Llandovery) sonded. Mr. John Saer (Carmarthen) said if they fixed a flat Pate of 6d. there would be a danger of Llanelly and the rural district having'no milk at all. The maximum price fixed was Is. d. per gallon paid to th« producer by the merchant in rural districts who sent the milk away to Glamorgan ana Llanelly. These merchants collect the milk from the farmers, take it to their factories, pasteurise it, take it to the railway station, and pay the carriage on it to the distribu- tor, and they generally charged 2s. ,which was also the maximum price. How could they expect those retailers say in Llanelly, who had to pay 2s. for milk from St. Clears, to retail it at 2s.? Dr. S. H. Williams—They will not pay 2s. Mr. Saer—Then they will not get the milk, and that is the danger. If you limit the price to 6d. all round the county Llan- elly will be short of milk. Aid. John Lewis (Newcastle-Emlyn) thought they were making too much of the milk question). He considered it a very sraa'I item in a workingman's expenditure. If he took a quart of milk per day it meant only 7d. a week extra Very few families "ook a quart of milk per day; he was sorn- to say they took quarts of something else There was no talk about reducing the prici- of whisky, but when they had to pay i penny or a halfpenny per day more for milk till ere was a "lot of row" about i;. There was so much money in LlaneUv a:Id Glamorgan that he was told they did not know what to do with it. Farmers were doing well now. but they had been working for next to nothing up to now. Dr. J. H. Williams said it was important to secure the necessary quantity of milk for children. Parents could go vithout milk but children must have milk, and it musft be fx-ecl at such a prioe that could be paid by poor widows and soldiers' wives. Four women called at his surgery that morning and said they could not get milk for their babies. Mr. David Jennings said th<- Llanelly Committee would have fixed the price at 6sd. per quart, if they could. They could not do it and maintain a proper supplv. They had examined the book,9 of the dairymen, who had to give £ 3 a week to men in charge of their milk carts. Dr. Williams said he khev of a farm at Burry Port which sent 60 to 70 gallons of milk to Llanelly. Theu it came back from Llanelly to be sold at Biirry Port at 6d. If that could be done at Burry Port it could be done at 6d. at LInnelly. Mr. H. W. Spowart, Llanelly, said in the interests of the community and of the children the Government should subsidise the cost of milk. Governing prices were too high. If they were going to allow people to dharge 'better pi-ioes for milk, farmers would not make butter. Mrs. W. Y. Nevill (Felinfoel) said that ■n tho Llanelly ruu-al district they were already short of milk- Mr. Mathews, Llandebie, said/they had heard that milk sent to Llanelly was being pasteurised. That milk was absolutely free from bacteria. If that could be done all round without much expense :t would be a good thing. Mr. Wm Williams (Abeirgwili)—Are we here to consider the interests of only the consumers, or both the consumers and the producers? Are we going to in one for the benefit of the other? Dr. Williams—The other is skmning us. Mr. Williams said farmers had to pay for cattle feeding stuffs to-day three times as much as they paid two yeais ago, and no one could produce milk or butter at the price they were fixing now. If they fixed the price of milk at Llanelly flt 6d. per quart, he wa.s certain they would not get a ohurn of milk at L!anelly inext week, there being a very keen deiriand for it from Glamorgan. Mr. Spowart said the Divisional Food Commission had intimated to XJanelly by telegram that he considered 7d. per quart was a reasonable price in Lie nelly for November and 7d. thereafter. The Secretary sa'id it wais "tbout time they should compel production at reason- able prices. They had the p< nver to do that. By a majority the conference decided to recommend the committees to fi:? the price of milk from December 1st to March 31st at 6d per quart throughout the <county, ex- cept in Llanelly, where it should be 7d. On the motion of Mr. Spowar-t, the con- ference passed a resolution po inting out to the Government the urgent necessity of materially reducing the price of cattle feeding stuffs with a view to p lacing the pirice of milk within a: moire 'voasoi&rble basis than e.t.ed at present Mr. Lewis Roderick (Llandove ry) said it was all nonsense to say that farmers lose by selling milk at 6d. per qua rt to the consumer. As for that confer ence he thought it was the most futile t hing ever 1 in the oounty. Rev. Fuller Mills (Carmarth(.,n paid the time hd come to point out to in e, Ministry of Food that control committees must exer- cise control. At ini-esent they did not exer- o control whatever, and were; in a fog through no fault of their own..

UNIFORMITY OF PRICES
out that they could not understand the order, and that the Ministry of Food should step in and exercise military power over the matter of food control. Aid. John Lewis (Newcastle-Emlyn) said the scarcity of milk and butter was due to the fact that they were not to be got. Rev. Fuller Mills—It is not true to say there is no butter. The same amount of butter comes to the outskirts of Carmar- then as there was 'two years ago, ibut on Saturdays people go out to the country to meet farmers bringing it in to Carmarthen. The conference deferred the question of ixing the price of butter pending an expec- ,ed announcement by the Government on die matter. Capt. Roberts (Llandilo) said Danish butter was .sold at LlandiLo at 2s. 5d. per ib. Deaiem blended it, and no one could tell the difference betwieen Danish and Welsh butter to-day, and in that there was a loophole. MEAT PRICES. Referring to meat prices, the Mayor of Carmarthen (Aid. Wm. Evans) said each -district should fix its own prices, as cir- cumstances in Various districts varied. Mr. John Saer said when the prices of mea.. in Llanelly rural district were fixed higher than those fixed in the Carmarthen riinal district butchers in the Llanelly dis- trict brought it over the border in vans to the Carmarthen district and charged the higher prices for it. They wiere powerless to stop it because under tpie ofder a van was not a shop for the sale of meat. There waij no sense in that. and representations ishould be made to the Food Controller to amend the order and define a van as a shop. A committee was appointed to consider the question of meat prices. On the proposal of Mr. Spowart, a resolu- tin was passed expressing the opinion that a combination of the food committees n the county "was expedient with a view to securing uniformity in practice with prose- cutions.
