Weekly Roundup
SUGAR—
Spare Stamp No. 49, good for 5
lbs., expires August 31.
Spare Stamp No. 9, good for 5
lbs. of sugar for CANNING, ex
pires October 31, 1948.
Spare Stamp No. 10, good for
5 lbs. CANNING, beginning July 1.
New Canning Sugar Stcmp, July 1.
Housewives will get more can
ning sugar July 1 when spare
stamp 10 becomes valid for five
pounds, E. H. Talbert, OPA bis-
;rict Director, said today.
Mr. Talbert explained that this
is the final stamp of the year for
canning sugar, as no easing of the
sugar situation is expected before
1947. '
} Although it is expected that
750,000 tons of sugar will be avail
able this year for home canning
cjtigar, compared with 500,000 tons
during 1945, Mr. Talbert urged
• housewives not to use spare stamp
No. 10 unless the sugar is actually
needed for home canning.
A recent report was circulated
that coffee stamp 49 has become
valid for sugar purchases, but this
'is completely erroneous, Mr. Tal
bert said. Spare stamp No. 49 be
came good on May 1, and the next
regular stamp for table sugar will
not be valid until September 1, he
i aid.
Slight Up For Some Menus—
Restaurants may now charge
more for certain meals, food items,
and beverages that fall into two
limited categories, OPA District
Director E. H. Talbert said today.
He explained that these cate
gories for which restaurants, in
cluding railroad dining cars, may
now adjust their prices are:
1. New food items, meals or bev
erages. These new offerings may
be entirely new and 1 * never before
served by the restaurant, or they
may be menu items that the res
taurant customarily offered in
normal times, but due to war con
ditions, have not been ofterea in
several years.
2. Any meal, food item, or bev
erage, of which the major ingredi
ent is exempt from price control
at all other levels of sale. An
example is lobster dinners, as
lobster has been exempted from
price control at other levels.
Utility Fixtures—
Only a small part of the recent
price increases to manufacturers
of aluminum cooking utensils,
brass plumbing fixtures, waste fit
tings, and trimmings will bo pass
ed on to consumers, E. H. Talbert,
OPA District Director, said today.
Manufacturers were permitted
to adjust their prices to mee
wage and material cost rises, Mr
Talbert said.
Consumer prices will not ad
vance on cast aluminum, he ex
plained, since distributors and re
tailers will absorb the increase.
Scout Uniforms Decontrolled—
Pries control has been suspended
on official boy and girl scout uni
forms, except footwear, OPA Dis
trict Director E. H. Talbert said
4
today.
' Mr. Talbert explained that these
uniforms are manufactured ex
clusively for non-profit organi
zations which control their dis
tribution. It is not expected, he
added, that .the prices will be
raised more than would be neces
sary as a result of rises in costs
of ;oroduction.
Canned Vegetables Retain Price
Levels—
Retail prices for * canned vege
tables of the 1946 pack will gener
ally remain unchanged, except
where approved industry wage in
creases have -been- granted, E. H.
Talbert, District Director, said to
day.
Ceilings will, a^ply to principal
canned vegetables remaining un
der price coritrol, such as corn
peas, asparagus, tomatoes, lima
beans, black-eye peas and musi:
rooms, and to tomato products, in
cluding catsup, chili sauce, purees
tomato juice, and tomato sauce.
On fruits processed with sugai
and on catsup and chili sauce
ceilings will reflect the recent
half-cent a pound increase in th
cost of sugar.
At the same time, Mr. Talbcr
announced that. fresh green peas
have been removed from price
control, since these are already
selling below ceilings, with indi
cations that prices for the coming
season will be lower than at pres
ent.
Sheer-Sheers Nearly Here!—
Very sheer nylon hosiery, made
of finer than 30 denier yarn, will
be coming back soon at special
ceiling prices,. OPA District Direc
tor E. H. Talbert said today.
When the price schedule for ny
lon hosiery was set up, Mr. Tal
bert explained, nylon yarn finer
than 30 denier was not obtainable.
Now, however, fine yarns are a-
gain becoming available.
Very-sheers, he said, are under
price ceilings in line with the
ceiling prices on the regular
weights that have been made right
along. For example, he said 51-
gauge all-nylons, less than 30
denier yarn, will be $1.70. OPA
ceiling. This compares with the
current ceiling of $1.55 for 51-
gauge nylons, 30 denier or coarser,
and the $1.40 ceiling for 45 gauge
nylons.
While the supply lasts!

LL McCORMICK, S. £. t
Clemson, June 24.—The boll
weevil continues to cause serious
damage to certain cotton fields in
South Carolina, M. B. Stevenson,
assistant extension entomologist,
declared today.
The weather for the week end
ing June 15 was right for good
cotton growth and for natural
control of the boll weevil in th~
grub stage, but the percentage in
festation counts still run high, Mr.
Stevenson explain?. He pointed
out, however, that where th.
sweet poison was properly applied
control and even reduction of the
weevils is being recorded.
A count in one field in the
Coastal Plain section of the state
last week revealed that 62 per
cent of the squares were punc
tured. The cotton plants in thic
field would average five squares
per plant, but it is doubtful if
the farmer will see many blooms
in this field fbr the next few
weeks.
If you can’t buy molasses to
prepare the 1-1-1 mopping mix
ture, you can still mop your cot
ton and expect about same degree
of boll weevil control as if you
used molasses, say USDA entomol
ogists at the Pee Dee Experiment
Station.
Small-scale experiments have
shown that one-half pound of
corn starch or one pound of wheat
flour is equal to one gallon ol
blackstrap molasses in making the
mopping mixture. These materi
als have mopping characteristics
comparable to the 1-1-1 mixturc
m weevil control when mixed with
calcium arsenate and water at th?
jsual rate, and they should be ap
plied at the same rate as the reg
ular 1-1-1 mixture.
There is considerable interest in
several sections of the state, Mr
^tevehson said, in the use of air
planes for applying calciyun ar-
■enate dust to control the bol
veevll. Thus far two parti*'- tvp
made plans or will make pU"? to

Tirplare hac been used succe -illy
