Sugar Rationins
Rules Announced
For Canning

Housewives who wish to obtain
sugar for canning and preserving
fresh fruits ana who are already
properly registered under the sugar
rationing order tRation Order No
3, that at which they received their
sugar rationing cards at their var
iouS schools where they regiSteredD
may obtain sugar for canning and
preserving for the family unit in an
amount not to exceed one pound
per four quarts of finished canned
fruit.
Sugar for preserves, jellies and
jams is not to exceed one pound
per year per person, this last ruling
being a change in amount from
the original regulation.
In order to obtain the sugar, ap-
plications must be made for can
ming sugar permits to the local ra-
tioning board in the Ell Centro city
hall. The applicant must state the
names of members of the family
unit, the amount of fruit canned
last year, the amount of canned
fruit on hand when the application
is made; the number of quarts to
be canned for which application
is being made; whether the sugar
is to be used for preserving; the
excess sugar supply as of the date
of registration.
The board then has full juriSdic-
ton TO grant or withhold the can
ming sugar permit as it deems ad-
Visable.
This ruling is liberalization OF
the original home canning regula-
ton ana gireS tie home Gamer
the same sugar allowance as that
given to commercial cannerieS. This
principle however, has not been
followed with regard to jams and
jellieS.
Housewives are advised to-
a. Plan to spread their canning
operations over the desired variety
of fruits throughout the season;
b. Remember that canning sugar
allowed this year will be based OF
The amount of fruit canned for the
family unit last year;
C. Studies by the department OF
agriculture indicated that normally
an average of about six pounds pei
capita is consumed for home can
ming;
d. Sugar obtained for canning
must be used for that purpose ano

A new trade treaty has been
negotiated with Cuba - how

us. However, it is interesting 10

tor tbs new treaty.
Let us look at the record.
First, Leon Henderson of JPN,
places a ceiling of $3.50 per cwt
on raw sugar. Cuban .aLerestS
refuse to sell at that price. Sea-
board refiners object, saying
their supplies are running low.
Pr.ceS get stronger and cOnsun-
ers began to buy more sugar
than they need for immediate
consumption.
Mr.. Henderson places ceiling
or retail sugar prices. 1t would
seem at this point that some
one would have to back down.
Not so. There is still a way out.
How? Where? Uncle SarE'S pee
ket. Cut the sugar tariff a little
more and everyone will be hap

The Cuban sugar planters
pocket the money and sell their
sugar to consumers of the
United States. Some people HAY
say, whats the difference so
long as the price of sugar stays
DOWN." The difference is this.
Every penny that the tariff is

treasury either by increased
taxes or by the purchase OF
