Pre-Cooked Food-Preparation for
supplying Berlin with pre-cooked
food, to save vital fuel in the blockaded
city, is being made in accordance
with an extensive study of the possi-
bilities by Mr. Mathew H. Highlands
of the University of Maine Experi-
mental Station. The survey of existing
dehydration facilities in the northern
states of the Bizonal Area has been
completed. Plant capacity to produce
dried strip potatoes is considered
sufficient to meet the 180-ton daily
requirements of this food for Berlin.
Details involving prices, prior con-
tracts, size and types of packages are
being worked out.
