Q. --I came into market the other day and could not find any purchas ers for my 10•pounds of butter? Isn't there some way that producers of dairy butter can get rid of their sur- plus stock? A. -Yes, indeed: Any retailer or. wholesale distributor may purchase your butter at.prices which have been prescribed by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.," • Q. -In my new ration book there is an application card asking me to THURa, !1 BCH. fill in the amount of sugar I expect to use for summer canning. I am hav- ing difficulty estimating just how much sugar I'll need because some fruit takes more than others. Can you give me' any help? A, -These estimates on the nett application forms are to be mailed to the Local Ration Boards by April 15, Supplies of sugar are limited' by the amount of shipping space available to bring in the supply. Emphasis should fall on the use of the least amount of sugar to preserve the greatest amount of fruit. . . To help women estimate their sugar needs, Miss Anna Spears, nutritionist in the foods administration, W. P. T. B. points out that 011 the average, 3, lbs of sugar make 6 quarts of canned fruit. 3 lbs. sugar makes 2 qts. jam or jelly. Commenting on allowances being made for jam and jelly, which re -i. quire more sugar than canned fruit, Miss Speers attributes this to the fact that every homemaker has supplies of jars which lack proper seal for can:. ned fruit, but can be used for jam. She reminds women too, that even without sugar, fruit can be conserved for usein pies and puddings with sugarless canning. Q.. -How can I get coal for my brooder stove?
