what is called CANDY IN the united Stdtes Inc
United States imports quantities of cacao, choco-
late and confectionery from European countries,
and itself exports quantities. abroad its markets
Including every country In America, even those in
which cacao growing for export Ia an established
industry.
la may be prophesied that the time is coming
when the supply Of cacao will not equal the de-
mand While there are untouched areas In Latin
America, in Africa and the East Indies, yet this
area Is rather sharply defined and by nature lin
tied. 1t Is not extensive as might be guessed
by merely looking at the map, for the climatic
factors of temperature and humidity must be
favorable or else the tree will not bear for com
mercal profit, although within few miles Of sue
cessful plantations Probably America has larger
resources of virgin land than the rest OF the EARTH
and will always hold the lead in production, This
should surely be the case If improved methods of
cultivation and transportation increase the yield
and the profit from the crop.
The area for cacao production, as has been stat.
ed. is limited, while population is growing at
rapid rate, and in addition the value of cacao is
becoming recognized with greater clearness each
year. As is the case, therefore, with other great
staples of the world-for cacao must now be con-
sidered agricultural staple-like meat, wheat,
corn and cotton, the price is slowly rising as
larger food supply must be gathered for the
worlds needs BY the middle Of the century the
result may be expected that the supply will be
proportionately meager IN relation to population
as it at present appears to be ample.
Existence on cacao plantation can be health
full and pleasant; It Is tropical life but the sur
roundings may be made thoroughly agreeable and
the reward surely equal the amount Of energy
expended
Much scientific study has OF late years been
given to the botanical characteristics Of the cacao
tree the methods Of propagating It. its diseases
and the best manner Of shipping and marketing
the crop, Since the success of the valorization
control of coffee in Brazil, plans have been pro-
posed to valorize in Brazil and Ecuador Also SO
to prevent violent fluctuations in price and to
give growers some sense of security concerning
values, The outcome of the plans can, however
be Of only temporary commercial significance

supply is bound to become progressively more i'm

proved that the cacao product is one
OF the best known associates OF
sugar.
AS an inhabitant of the polar re-
glons Graves fat of some kind, and
as another In the tropics enjoys his
fruits and his hot peppers-both ma
ture hints in regard to diet 50 the
inhabitant In the temperate zone
consumes sugar and Is unframed
thereby, providing that there is no
oyerindulgence. That explains why
so much sugar is carried from the
tropics to the north; 1t is food
necessity. 1t explains also why the
manufacturers OF cacao and the
chief consumers are in the coun-
tries where no production is carried
on. Proximity to the consumers Is
a recognized rule in manufacturing.
The United States heads the table
of cacao users, for the people num-
Der the most, but in proportion to
population this country takes no
more than its share. Germany,
France and England consume an
nually considerable quantities of
cacao, but Holland and Switzerland
use an amount far in excess of their
inhabitants.
Figured out in pounds per capita,
the importation of cacao, for 1t
amounts to that, is quite striking.
The United States uses about one
and one-half pounds of caeao each
year for each inhabitant; Germany
about three and two-thirds pounds;
France, little over one and one
half pounds; England, about one
and one-fifth pounds; Holland, al
most nine pounds; Switzerland, lit
tie over Ave pounds; and Spain not
quite six-tenths Of a pound. Much
of these quantities go into the prep
aration of cacaos and chocolates to
be used for beverages, but an ever
increasing total is manufactured d.
