More Canned Goods For Civilians Amid War Food Revisions
War Food Administrator Marvin Jones says the 1945-46 canned vegetables supply will be 10 to 13 percent smaller than last year’s due to reduced civilian demand, with fruits and juices about unchanged. He notes armed forces cut vegetable needs by five percent and fruit needs by seven percent, and that non-federally inspected plant quotas may rise as production estimates adjust.
