For canning and preserving fruits and vegetables, which is regarded as very important by the Food Adminis tration. sugar can be obtained in lots up to 2f> pounds, but not more than 25 pounds will bo sold to any one per son in any one month for. canning and preserving. It is necessary, in order to obtain sugar for canning and preserving pur poses, that the purchaser sign a pledge blanks for which the dealer has on hand, these being furnished by the Food Administration.
