The County Food administrator has issued an order limiting sugar to three pounds per person per month. This may be bought in quantities of 5# at at time. One sack of flour in town and two sacks of flour in the country is the limit on one purchase. No suckling pigs or calves may be killed. Farmers may kill sufficient meat for their own use, but none for sale.
