Answers Hypotheti-
cal Questions Regarding Sale of
Sugar and Pork Products
To those concerned

To those concerned:
The following questions have been
submitted to the Food Administra-
ton, Reno, Nevada. The answers
received are written below:
Problem: Mr.. X lives about 12
working for him and a family OF s.
Will it be necessary TO limit him to
the maximum of II lbs. of sugar?
Answer: I'm your letter of Feb
ruary 18th on the case of Mr.. X who
lives IL miles from town, l believe
perhaps the Inconvenience TO which
he is put in getting sugar will i'm
press upon his mind and the minds
of the other members of his family
the scarcity of sugar and suggest the
use of honey and syrups instead; this
is what the Government wants-just
to discourage the use of this conf
modify and force the sale of substi-
tutes."
| have also submitted the question
of the sale and use of pork and pork
products on Tuesday and Saturdays:
Observe this as follows:
On Tuesdays limit the sale of
pork. (Do not sell it, Bacon. ham
and lard may be sold, however; but
please ask your customers not to use
these commodities on this day.
Sell pork, ham, bacon, and lard
on Saturdays, but ask your custo-
mers to observe the Government rul-
ing and refrain from the use of these
on this day.
The high cost of substitutes for
white flour was also called to the at
tention of the Food Administration
have received this answer: Mr.,
Hoyt will take up the matter of SUBJ
stitutes with you on his return; we
realize that prices in these far-west-
ern states are excessive and Wash
ington has intimated that they might
secure relief in this direction.
You are already acquainted with
the fact that white flour and substi-
tutes must be sold on a fifty fifty
basis. However, il you have not the
substitutes in stock it will be all
right to sell the flour If you will sat
isfy yourselves that the purchaser
has bought the substitutes elsewhere
will buy them elsewhere, or already
has them. 1t is very important that
you make sure, however, that these
substitutes are not already covered
by previous purchases of white -four.
II will be all right to take the word
OF the purchaser as to substitutes II
the dealer satisfies himself, or feels
satisfied, that the substitutes have
been purchased, or will be purchased
In regard to selling potatoes as a
substitute the following answer was
received: Potatoes have not as yet
been put on the list of substitutes
for Nevada, but l expect some word
from Mr.. Hoyt tomorrow and will let
you know what l hear. No one in
Nevada is yet authorized to sell po-
tatoes, as California rulings are not
effective here"
The attention of the Food Admin
istration was also called to the fish
problem here. (Halibut and salmon
are now selling 25c per lb. (. o. b.
Sacramento). This reply was re-
ceived: 81 think Mr.. Hoyt will tell
you something regarding the fish sit
uation In this State and what he
hopes to accomplish for the local
markets in this respect" Mr.. Hoyt
will return to Reno Saturday.
The question of supplying the no.
tells and restaurants with any larger
quantity than 5 " lbs. at one time
has been referred to Reno today.
