That is why Del Monte, as the leading canner of fruits and vegetables, is continuing to issue this wartime series of reports. 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. Pros- pects were good for a bumper yield of fresh peaches in California, when stretches of extremely hot weather matured the fruit so fast that ies 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 out better than early estimates and will probably exceed last years, government needs are larger also, and the amount of canned pears on your grocers shelves will be very small. The industry hopes to put up slightly more fruit cocktail than last year but quotas for our fighters have also grown so again, it means less of this popular fruit at your grocers. completed before the end of October, However, it now appears that it will be less than last year. Consequently the amount available for home consumption will be materially less because the government has almost doubled 'its requirements. On the whole, the civilian supply of canned vegetables apparently will be h about less than last year, barin government quotas reduction ring or release from its reserves. Del Monte Pineapple and Pineapple Juice will be still scarcer than last year. Pineapple is a two-ye- crop. The ar drought of 1943 meant that we were not able to pack a normal amount in 1944 in spite of a favorable ripening season. Military requirements have also been increased. The good news in the fruit picture is apricots. A bumper crop resulted in the largest pack on record. Though military wants are twice as great as in 1943, you can expect as many Del Monte Apricots as you ever did. In total, fruits will be available to civilians in very limited quantities. one-fift- iiSonfe Products ore should able to get your bs available, you share of them. But whatever Tots! Civilian Vegetable Supply A'bsst 20 Less On vegetables as on fruits remember that we are telling the story of total supply and what is likely to happen on the home front if present military demands continue, However, this picture radically change on vegetables if the government reduced quotes out cf this years pack, or released substantia! quantities from reserves. could In our last report, we estimated that the industrys pack of canned peas would be less. Now we know the amount available for civilians will be about a fifth less than last' year. The government quota on corn has not increased. But the total crop was smaller and the supply for civilians will be considerably less than last year. Asparagus production slightly ceeded last year. Military needs also increased, so the civilian supplyis approximately the same as last season. It is expected that the supply of green beans will be slightly less. We had hoped to have good news on beets and carrots. But the armed forces asked the industry to supply them with three times as many carrots as last year, and twice as many beets. So even if packers succeed in producing a much larger volume, civilians wont see as many as last year. The canned tomato pack will not be t Del As we said before, Del Monte Foods will be apportioned to distributors throughout the country0 on a fair and square basis. This has been our policy ever since the war began. Del Monte deliveries are also spread throughout the year, so you can usually expect to find at least some varieties of Del Monte Fruits and Vegetables at your grocers. You have a right to your share of these Del Monte Foods, so dont hesitate to ask for them. If you cant find just the one you want, you may still find some other Del Monte variety that will serve your purpose. Thats one advantage of learning how to switch and swap within the Del Monte line. Del Monte packs so many different products, that no matter which varieties happen to be short, you can choose any other Del Monte Food your grocer has and always be sure of the same quality and flavor, 2 ley.
