A READY MARKET FOR CANNEDGOOES Kome-Canned Products Will be Given Preference Over Maryland and Virginia Pack by Large Concerns. Columbia.-A ready market has I been developed in South Carolina for all home-canned fruits and vegetables 'that will -be put up during the corn. ing canning season in excess of do. '.mestic needs. This announcement has I been made by the Conservation and 'Production Division of the Food Ad ministration, which has been work. lug on the problem of marketing of home-canned products for the past two months. A number of the lead ing wholesale ,grocers and jobber s of the State have not only expressed their willingness to buy home-canned fruits and vegetables properly pre pared for commercial use, but will give the home-canned product the preference over Maryland and Vir ginia packed goods. The Food Administration has on file the requirements of several largo concerns and has been asked to find the canned products to supply their needs. Thousands of cans of fruits and vegetables can be readily sold, but the packers will be required, as a matter of course, to conform to cer tain trade rules. In the first place, the price must be ins conformity with that for which Maryland and' Virginia packed goods can be bought. Canned products should not be of rfeid for the wholesale trade except in large lots. It is suggested that damers and others who desire to put uptruits and vegetables for the market form marketing agencies, in order that their product may be handled in larg ct lots to a greater advantage. The grades must be uniform and certain standards maintained. The canned product must of course be put up in uniform cases, and the cans uni formly labelled. Contracts for fall deliveries should P. be made now or in the very near future. Canning clubs, community clubs or marketing agencies with large quan 'titles of canned fruits and vegetables to offer for sale should write the Food Administration, Conservation and Pro ductlon Division, at Columbia, stating what they have to offer at the present time or what they will have to deliver in the fall, stating the price desired and all information. The Food Administration will make no purchases or sales, but it may serve as a connecting link to bring the pack ers and the dealers together. As has already been announced, there will be plenty of cans and jars available for home canners during the coming season. Communities that are not supplied should report to the Food Administration at Columbia, and mer chants will be put in touch with - pply upon request. At - :labels can be bought price. fruits and vegetables nuouwueemoer that they cannot ex pect to receive the retail price for their products if sold at whole sale, and those who have only job lots to offer should seek a market in therr home communities. The' wholesaler ,and the jobber cannot handle job lots. Any information which may be de sired by any interested person or can ning club will be6 furnished by the Conservation and Production Division of the Wood Administration, Columbia. 'DANGEROUS RUMOR SHOWN TO BE FALSE Columbia-Reports in circulation to the effect that Food Administration officials had stated no further con nervation of wheat was necessary have sheen nailed as unfouded in a telegram s'eceived by William Elliott, State food administrator-, from Herbert Hoover. 'No r~iatement of this character has ever been issued," says Mr. Hoover, and the federal food administrator then states frankly the exact situation twhich emphasizes the absolute neces afty of even greater conservation of .wheat than3 the American people have yet praoticed. For that reason the up peal was recently made to the Ameri. .can people, through the churches, by Mr. Hoover. asking that every one who possibly can do so discontinue eting wheat or wheat products in any 'form until the next harvest. It la stated in Mr. Hoover's tole gram that American supplies of wheat until the next harvest allow a home coasumption of not mere t'ian otie third of normal, if America is to inm * tain allied supplie-that is, the send 'ig of wheat to Europe, as this coun 4ry is pledged to do. At the beginning of May, there were In farmers' hands and in storage in America about 75,000,000 hpashele of' wheat, which will. have to carry the' American people for approximately thwee months, until~ the new crop 00mes in. America's nor-mal consump ~nfor three months would be 120, ,00bushel., not allovring the allies anything, It can thorefore be readily seeni that reportp quoting Food Administration p ~ off4lgm 4p eaying there is .no ftjrther ~need 'of *heat saving are simply on mDy nroansead ,,r '.'r,- dan--..., THINK OF WHEAT INI RELATION TO LIFE Every Bushel Saved Now Will Supply a Soldier With Bread Until Next Harvest Columbia.-One bushel of wheat will care for the bread needs of one man from now until the next harvest. This means that every bushel of wheat that is saved in this country by the substitution of cornmeal and other cereals will supply an American or a British or a French or a Belgian or an Italian soldier with bread until the present crisis in the wheat situa. tion has passed. Wheat, must now be considered, not in terms of dollars and cents, says the Food Administration, but only in its relation to human life. Before the next wheat crop is avail able there remains more than two months in which America is required to feed her own people and to con tinue exports of flour to the fighting front and to feed the people of the allied countries. The Food Administration asks ev ery person in South Carolina who can tlo so to abstain from the use of wheat flour in any form until the next har vest. BWEET POTATOES AS ARMY RATION Big Market Opened to Farmers of South Carolina as Sweet Potatoes Will Be Bought by Camp Quarter masters. Columbia.-The Conservation and Production division of the Food Ad ministration at ('aumbia has been advised by the A' ;g Quartermaster general of the Ar. at Washington hat sweet potatoc., ire now a substi ute component of he Army ration, and can be used i n place of white potatoes. Last fail a considerable luantity of sweet potatoes were pur hased by the Camp Quartermaster, )specially for SouM camps, and the purchase of sweet potatoes will very ikely be made on a larger scale this rear. This opens up a new and ready market for sweet potatoes. It is sug ;ested, in the lettes received by the F'ood Administration, that growers of weet potatoes in South Carolina com municate direct with the Camp Quar termaster of the camps located in this mnd nearby States and offer sweet potatoes at the lowest price per hun lredweight. Sweet potatoes sold for Army ra ti n must be sacked and delivered at camps in car load lots, and prices named should be only for potatoes in' such quantities and delivered, freight prepaid. PLENTY CANS AND JARS TO PUT UP PERISHABLES Food Administration Gives Assurance of Ample Supply for Forthcom ing Canning Season. Columbia.-Assurance is given the people of South Carolina by the Con iervation and Production division of! ~he Food Administration that not anly will there be tin cans in suffi 3ient quantity for canning during the1 forthcoming season, but that an ample! lupply of glass jars will also be avail Irble. It is also assured that water class may be secured by all who de mire to put up eggs for winter use. Any locality that may be short on kny of these nieceusaries for canning and preserving fruits and vegetables rnd for putting up eggs will be put in ouch with sources of supply if inter sated persons will write the Food Ad-i ninistration at Columbia. Jobbers and wholesalers in several >f the larger cities of the State have aid in ample stocks of tins and glass 'ars, and th, list of these is on file rith the Food Administration. The irug stores in the smaller towns may' iecure water glass for the retail trade rom the wholesale drug houses, or, f they cannot supply them, a letter kddressed to the Food Administration it Columbia will solve the problem. Announcement has already been' nade that ample sugar will be avail ibis, to be secured on a certificate sys em, for canning and preserving. >DD PELLOWS ASKED TO GIVE UP EATING WHEAT ColmbI.-Lodges of Odd Fellows brouighout South Carolina and the individual members of this great or ganisation have been called upon by the officers of the Sovereign Grand Lodge for support of the program of the Foeod Administration to save wheat. All Odd Fellows are urged through the Sovereign Grand Lodge to voluntarily abstain from the use of wheat foods until after the next bar-! rest.' There are in the United States about 2,300,000 Odd Fellows. The membership of this order in South Carolina is very large, and there Willy no doubt be" a generous and a patri otic response to the appeal to save wheat to help feed the fighting forces of America and the allies and the people of the allied countries. To warte wheat is to waste young~ American~ manhood at the froene'.
