LOUISIANA HA8 PLANNED
FOR UTILIZATION OF
LOW-GRADE SUGARS
A relief measure initiated by the
Louisiana Food Administrator, J. M.
Parker, has opened the first door
through which Louisiana‘s second and
third grade sugars may pass into the
market in greater bulk and at fairer
prices. This measure has been in-
dOrsed and adopted by the Sugar Divi-
sion of the United States Food Admin-
istration. h“
The plan is simple. Those awarded
certificates for the purchase of sugar
may have the certificates filled upon
the basis of 125 pounds of second and.
third grade sugars for every 100
pounds or sugar the certificate repre
sent. While a number of ind stries
claim that the lower test sugars will
not answer for their purposes. the sec
