More Sugar for Canning Likely
The commerce department projects a household sugar ration of 15 pounds per person for this year and a larger home canning allowance. Civilian sugar supplies will exceed 1945 by 341,000 tons, though 1946 civilian consumption will face a higher industrial ration and 8,000,000 new civilian users including veterans. A 20 percent rise in sugar beet acreage could add most to the supply. Cuban imports may be down about 1,000,000 tons from 1945.
