Tho food administration must roly j upon your patriotic co-operation to tide over the situation. I The food administration estimated j that the supply for July for tho Uni- ! ted States would ho 300,000 tons. Tho supply fell short of these figures by a large margin, und tho result is that thorc is not enough sugar to supply the country on the basis of the llrst allotment made. lt ls sternly necessary for tho re tailers to supervise tho salo of sugar and prevent those who aro greedy and unpatriotic from obtaining more than their share. Tho best device to accomplish this is to keep a record of all sugar sales, making a carbon copy of the record, and send tho copy to tho County Food Administrator, ile can, therefore, chock on those poople who aro buying more than two pounds per person per month, i This record of sugar sales will bo re quired of all retailers In South Caro lina. See that an equitable distri bution of sugar is made to your cus tomers. Wholesalers should furnish sugar to retailers in original packages where possible. No new jobbers or wholesalers starting to handle sugar after July 1st will be given licenses or certificates. Wholesalers should not give sugar to retailers III excess of normal requirements, even if cer tificates are presented, but such wholesalers should Immediately no tify the State administrator. With reference to canning, it should he spread in every possible way that fruit can be water-packed without sugar. The sugar may be added at time of consumption. In formation on this can be obtained from the Department of Agriculture. Washington, D. C. The profit on sugar will bo strictly watched and tho retail profit should not exceed one cent a pound, except where the fraction ol' a cent is in volved. Sales of sugar should not exceed two pounds at one sale to a muston. er who lives in town, and should not exceed five pounds to a customer who lives in tho country. The allowance of sugar is TWO pounds per person por month. That change was neces sary on account of tho shortage oi sugar. For canning purposes do not sell more than 25 pounds to a house holder on homo canner's sugar cer tificates, and if moro ls needed, re quire the written permission of your County Food Administrator. For tho vast majority of the re tailers tho above will be patriotically followed. Tho unpatriotic few who violate the sugar regulations will in cur the sternest penalties the food administration can inflict. Retailers must not mako more than one cent profit per pound on sugar, but in selling sugar they can figure a fraction of the cent to their favor. For example, when sugar costs a retailer, delivered at his railway sta tion, 8 Vi cents a pound, ho can sell one pound of lt at 10 cents a pound, figuring the fraction of three-fourth.1 of a cent In his favor. When he sells two pounds of sugar ho can charge 19 cents for lt, figuring the fractior of one-half in bia favor. When ht soils five pounds of this sugar, lu can charge 47 cents, figuring th? fraction of three-fourths of a cent ii his favor. The retail selling price for sugar it based on the cost of the sugar dellv ered at the railway station of thc ro tailor. The gross maximum profit oi sugar sold at retail must not execet one cent a pound, except the frac tional part of a cent may bo figurei In favor of the retailer as outline? above. Rye.
