There will be plenty of sug
ar to put up Arkansas fruit
this year, according to Hamp
Williams, the Food Adminis
trator, who has assured the
specialists with the Extension
Division that they can have the
club members and farmers’
wives throughout the state go
ahead with their preparations
and put up as much fruit as
possible. To secure the sugar
for this work it is only neces
sary to go to your grocery store
and sign a little pledge, stating
that the sugar desired is for the
purpose of putting up fruit
and, that all surplus sugar not
used in this manner, will be re
turned. All grocerymen should
have these certificates on hand
if they do not have them, they
can get them by writing to the
Food Administrator.
