way to avert a fuel famine, and I

SWEETS FOR IOWA
MUCH RESTRICTED
PROBLEM OF EQUITABLE DiSTRi.
BUTTON OF SUGAR SOLVED
BY ADMINISTRATORS DEEMS
AND CHIEF M'ELROY.

One of the most difficult problems
with which the United States food adj
ministration of Iowa has had to deal
has been the distribution of sugar.
When 1t became apparent that there
would be q sugar shortage United
States Food Administrator j. F. Deems
secured the consent Of w. L. McElroy
Of Ottumwa, Iowa, to become head Of
the sugar division of the administra-
ton in this state, and between them
they have managed to meet every crit
ical situation as it has arisen and to
bring Iowa into line with the national
program to save sugar.
No one in Iowa except the house.
holder can buy pound Of sugar ex-
cept on certificate. The retailer must
buy from the wholesaler on certificate,
and the commercial user a. sugar must
buy from the retailer on ertiticate.
These certificates are based on the
consumption last year for all goods.
Manufacturers of soft drinks, for in
stance, are allowed 80 per cent of the
sugar used by them last year. Ice
cream makers are given IS per cent.
Makers of other products using sugar
are limited In a similar way. In order
to secure this allotment they must
make sworn statement of the amount
Of sugar used last year and required
this year. These certificates all go to
MIR. McElrOy who figures out from the
nf ypI, oh ctaf ha
for distribution during the month the
propOrtiOnate amount which each con-
sumner Is entitled to.
This regulation does not cover house
holders, who are entitled to two pounds
q month per person.
The certificate plan covers hotels and
eating houses of all kinds, but the basis
Of their supply is two pounds for every
30 meals served last year instead Of
the percentage applied to the manufac-
turer of goods requiring sugar.
The theory of this plan Of distrib-
uting sugar is based on equity. 1t is
q matter Of mathematics with Mr..
Hoover. Mr.. Deems and Mr.. McElroy.
There is just so much sugar to be con-
sumed In Iowa during August and
there are just so many interests and
people demanding it. 1t is not diff
cult to figure out an equitable basis for
its division and 1t is to accomplish that
end that the sworn statement and GER
tificate plan has been adopted. Food
Administrator Deems is anxious that
every person have his share of the sup
ply, and every energy of the food adj
ministratiOn will be devoted to prevent.
ing one class Of consumer from secur-
ing more than its proportion, which
eventually would result in others hav.
ing 10 get along on much less than
their fair share.
The business Of distributing sugar
entails an enormous amount of work
and endless correspondence. because
there are 1920 grocers alone In this
state, and thousands of users of sugar
outside of householders.

CANNING ACTIVITY
IN HOMES IN IOWA
HOUSEWIVES HAVE DOUBLED
THEIR OPERATIONS ON sUc-
GESTIoN OF THE FOOD
ADMINISTRATIONS

Early in the spring United States
Food Administrator J. f. Deems Of
Burlington asked Iowa women to dou-
BILE their canning and preserving OPP
erations this year. Reports to his
headquarters at Burlington indicate
that this request has been followed.
and perhaps twice as much home
canned goods are being put up by Iowa
women this year than were shelved
last year.
Home demonstration agents under
the leadership Of Miss Neale S.
Knowles, have made canning without
sugar one of the important parts Of
their campaign of education, and Iowa
women have been supplied with direc-
tons how to accomplish this result
through the bulletin prepared by Cath
crime J. MacKay, Director of Home
Economics for the United States Food
Administration. on "Save Sugar When
You Can" which has had very extern
sive circulation in the state.
The food administration proposes
the establishment Of communal kitch-
ems in most of the towns in Iowa where
canning operations can be carried on
and encouraged, and a movement has
been started to induce the preservation
of wild fruits. In this connection the
Camp Fire Girls of the state have been
interested in gathering this fruit on
their hikes, and canning it at home.
The food administration also proposes
women who have canned more fruit
of one kind than they can use, in order
to save it. will be enabled to exchange
II for fruit of another kind of which
some neighbor may have a surplus.
The food administration discourages
the purchase of commercially canned
goods during this season in order to
encourage the consumption of fresh
fruits and vegetables. This saves for
consumption by the army commercial
ly canned goods now in stock. For the
same reason home canning and pre-
serving Is of benefit to the soldiers be-
cause Ii releases as much commercial
ly canned goods as are put up at home.
This is a vital matter for our soldiers.
and it is on that account, as we'll as on
account Of the general program of
conservation Of food, that Iowa wOm-
en- have so generously responded to the
a maximum Of canning this year.
