In order to build up reserve
stocks to take care of the can-
ning demand, jobbers are now
permitted by the food adminis-
tration to hold sugar sufficient
to meet their needs for sixty, in-
stead of thirty days. Where ne-
cessity demands, the Federal
Food Administrators are author-
ized to allow the sale of more
than 1,000 pounds—the present
limit—to retailers.
The prescribed limit of retail
sales for other than canning pur-
poses will still be maintained—
not over five pounds to people
living in cities; not more than
ten pounds to those living in the
country.
Commercial canners in every
state will be allowed to increase
immediate purchases gradually
to accumulate sufficient sugar
to meet full requirements of
their 1918 canning operations.
The new regulation which per-
mits canners to carry a season's
supply does not, however, extend
the latitude to manufacturers of
less essential foodstuffs.
