WILL NOT SEIZE HOME FOODS.
Government Issues Emphatic Denial
of Report That 1t Is Going To
Comandeer the House
wife's Pantry.
Washington, D. c.,

washington, u. u,
There is no truth in a widely cir
culated statement that the Govern
ment expects to take food supplies
from any family, Both the Food
Administration and the Department
of Agriculture join in statement
to counteract what seems to be a
deliberate propaganda to the effect
that the Government intends to take
from every family all canned goods
put up in excess of 100 quarts.
This is only one of the variations
of the rumor,. which has been widely
circulated. Another statement is
that the Government has been urging
the canning, drying and preserving
of fruits and vegetables so that they
will be in a convenient form for the
Government to handle and transport
when it takes them away from the
people. Further elaboration is that
these goods are to be taken away
from the American homes and ship
ped to England.
In one instance motorist stopped
at farm house to fill the radiator of
his automobile. In the course of
conversation he casually inquired
whether the farmers family was can
ming all the surplus fruits and vege-
tables in order to help conserve the
food supply. He was informed that
the farmer was not doing this because
the Government intended to take all
the canned goods away except a small
part of it actually needed by the
family itself.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been
contemplated by the Government On
the contrary, both the Department of
Agriculture and the Food Admins
tration are strongly urging house
wives to can and preserve, especially
at this time, all surplus fruits and
vegetables in order that the house
holds themselves may hav@ cheap
and plentiful supply of food.
