NEW PROGRAM FOR
SAVING OF MEAT
Food Controller Hoover
Outlines New Plan That
Will do Away With Re
quirement for Meatless
Day.

United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover has announced a
new meat program as follows
Food Administration is exereme-
y desirous of securing economy in
in consumption of all kinds of meats
without reinstallation of meatless day
for the present Seasonal decline in
volume Of animals coming to market
is now in progress and its volume will
undoubtedly further decrease during
the next few months as is usual, but
probable amount of such decrease is
yet obscure.
The necessities for shipment
abroad to our army and allies are
very large and amount to roughly
seventy million pounds meat and
meat products of all kinds per week
against pre-war normal Of less than
fifteen million pounds. Even with
these large shipments the allies have
found it necessary to reduce con-
sumption of all kinds of meat and
poultry to an average of about one
and one quarter pounds per week in
order that no further draft should
be made upon shipping that is now
required for the transport of our
soldiers,
Our consumption meats is about
three and one quarter pounds per
week per person and if we are to
make both ends balance during short
marketing season we must have fur
ther economy. If the public will
continue in rigorous elimination of
waste and will further economize by
reducing quantity prepared for each
meal Of all kinds eof meat and poul-
try more particularly beef and will
restrict their purchases accordingly
Food Administration hopes that the
necessary balance can be maintained.
4 general daherence to these recon-
mendations will avoid the incon-
Yenience which arises in many direc
tion from meatless days and will
cause less interference in daily prep
aration of food
There is now an abundance of milk
products which can well be substitut-
ed in various forms, Shortage Of
fish during past several months due
to necessity of naval requisitioning
of trawlers and enlistment of fisher
men for navy should be consider
ably relieved by the expansion which
has been arranged in other form of
fishing"

CANNING SUGAR
Will BE RELEASED
Food Administrator Will
Permit Sale of Sugar For
Home Canning in QUAINT
ties as Great as Necessary.

Worth S. Lee, county food ad-
ministrator received the following
letter from the state food department
/ the first of the week, with the re-
quest that it be given the widest
possible publicity.
We are sending you under separ-
ate cover a considerable quantity Of
sugar certificates for distribution
by you among the merchants of your
county. Additional certificates will
be supplied you as needed.
Upon due execution of one of the
certificates, permission may be given
to any one in your county to buy not
to exceed 100 pounds of sugar for
canning and preserving purposes
only. You will notice that in con-
sideration of this privilege the prr-
chaser promises to limit the use of
sugar for all other purposes in the
household to three pounds or less per
person per month for the duration
| of the war.
You should instruct your mer-
chants of your county that under no
circumstances must sugar be sold
in larger amounts than in $1.00
to city customers and to rs pounds
to country customers without the
execution of the certificate.
Any violation of this rule, or fail
ure to obtain in writing for each
sale for home canning and preserv-
ing purposes will be cause for de-
nying such merchant permission to
sell sugar in any quantity. Any
person making improper use of
certificate to obtain sugar will be
denied the right to make any further
purchase of that commodity.
Please call attention to the fact
that families in the state of Idaho
are placed on their honor not to
purchase a larger supply of sugar
than will be required for their use
in canning fruit and vegetables and
that many should be able to do with
considerable less than the author
lied 100 pounds. Whnever possible
they are asked to do so.
The merchant selling the sugar
must make a record in a book kept
for that purpose, showing dates OF
sales name of purchasers and
amounts purchased, so that he may
at all times know the amount so
sold and hat the County Food Admin
istrators may be readily able to
check up such sales, whenever In
their judgment reason o do so ex-
lists. Purchase for home canning AID
preserving purposes must not exceed
a total of 100 pounds without per-
mission from the County Food Ad-
ministrators.
