Military and other war needs are taking an even greater share of the commercial pack than in 1943. According to the War Food administration, all vegetables, with the exception of baby foods, soups and canned baked beans, will be down 11 per cent. Many of the principal varieties or family favorites will show an even greater decrease. Tomatoes will be down about 34 per cent, snap beans about 32 per cent, peas 26 per cent, and tomato juice 18 per cent. |
