During this emergency, all of us must work together. Only with knowledge of what lies ahead can any housewife intelligently plan her shopping or understand the prob- lems facing her grocer. Fruit Situation Tight Peaches are a good example of what can happen to a canning crop. Prospects were good for a bumper yield of fresh peaches in California, when stretches of extremely hot weather matured the fruit so fast that canneries could not handle the full crop with available manpower. This cut down the whole industrys pack. Though we had hoped to do better, it now looks as if the total national pack this year will be only about average, or slightly over average at best. A month ago, the industry knew the governments requirements for canned peaches would be very heavy. Since then, the Quartermasters Department has upped its quotas still further. This means that supplies for civilians will be materially less than last year. On pears, while the pack turned put I better than early estimates and will probably exceed last years, government needs are larger also, and the amount of canned pears on your grocer's shelves will be very small.
