Title: Sugar Quota Relief for Dairy Industry in Oklahoma, 1945-06-08

Item — Box: 3, Folder: 51

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_3_51_0006

Scope and Contents

The letter from Joe C. Scott, President of the State Board of Agriculture in Oklahoma City, to Congressman George Schwabe raises concerns about the reduction of sugar quotas for industrial users, particularly affecting the dairy industry in Oklahoma during peak milk production. Scott emphasizes the need for sufficient sugar for ice cream manufacturers to utilize surplus milk and prevent waste. Congressman Schwabe requests the Office of Price Administration to relax sugar restrictions, but the response from the OPA indicates that quotas have been increased in some counties due to population growth, but may not effectively address the situation. The OPA explains the need for sugar reductions due to shortages and encloses a statement on the issue.
