Ration Spuds To Grocers Newark's grocery trade is be ing limited to a one bag at a time allotment today, growing out of a critical potato supply prfiwinp! situation. Grocers started volun tary rationing to customers Saturday, most restricting customers to purchases of five pounds each. The situation was revealed to day by A. R.

Jeffers, of Jeffers commission merchants here. Two carloads of the much-eaten spuds already confirmed for shipment here were cancelled today in a telegram to the Newark concern, Jeffers said. The government telegram staled all potato stocks "not rolling" were frozen. "The two cars consigned to us weren't moving," Jeffers said. "So we haven't got them.

When they'll come in we don't know." Most of Newark's supply comes from North Carolina, it was learned, but Jeffers said his brother, Harry, buyer for the firm, will go "to Virginia to try and get a supply there to relieve the potato shortage. Doubt was expressed as to whether transportation would oe available for shipment from this potato market source, The old potato crop is a thing of the past." Jeffers said.
