Washington, Jan. 11 U.R)
Butter, a vanishing Item on the
American diet, will become even
scarcer during . the next few
months, a war food administra
tion order indicated today.
The government will move in
to the market two mqnths earlier
than it did last year to get sup
plies urgently needed for ship
ment overseas for military
forces, WFA reported.
It ordered that 20 per cent of
all creamery butter produced
during February and 25 per cent
Qf all produced in March be re
served for the armed forces. The
set-aside last year did not go into
effect until April, and then it
amounted to only 10 per cent.
"With war requirements con
tinuing to increase there is little
hope of improvement in the
butter situation for civilian con
sumption," officials said.
