BARNARD TO SUPPLY SUGAR

State Food Administrator Prepares to Combat Shortages. Indianapolis, February 4.— Indiana communities which may experience a shortage in sugar may be supplied, when the situation becomes acute, through Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana. Dr. Barnard has been directed by the sugar division of the federal food administration to maintain a survey of the available sugar in the state for the purpose of anticipating “pinches” that may develop through congested transportation or other difficulties in distribution. The administration believes it will be possible to prevent a serious shortage, but is preparing to meet insistent calls from specific localities, which may exhaust their present supplies.
