The War Food Administration
has suspended all restrictions on
hog slaughter for three-mOnths'
period, effective November II. Cliff
ford W. Shedd, state supervisor of
the FDA, explains that because

The producer may. under this sus

and accept ration stamps !
from all customers for all rationed /
foods he hproduces. and turn these !
stamps back to his local OPA ra- !
tion board.

the state and nation either draws |
from the nations stockpile of food
as a consumer. produces as much
as he consumes, or produces more I
than he consumes and thereby adds I
to the stockpile.
