NEW RULING !. ON SUGAR WILL INTEREST FARMER

Under the latest sugar sales ruling the Food Administration now allows grocers to sell to housewives and other consumers in two sales their monthly allotment of two pounds of sugar per person per household; that Is, the housewife may purchase any time between the first and the if teenth of the month one half her legal monthly allowance of sugar and again anytime between the sixteenth and the thirtieth of the month may purchase the balance of the family s monthly ration. This rule supersedes the old two and five pound sales rule and the subsequent weeks supply sales rule. It is intended not only as a relief for housewives with large l families, who are entitled to consider able sugar, but also as a direct ease ment to the grocers to whom the item
