SUGAR SALE REGULATION.
consumption by Manufacturers VIII
lie Cut Twenty Per Cent May 18th.

Columbia, May 9.-Under the new
regulations of the Food Administra-
tion governing the sale OF sugar to
manufacturers, announced yesterday,
sugar consumption by manu- facturers,
except for the making of essential
rood products. will he cut twenty per
cent after May 18th. The purpose of
the new sugar rationing system for
manufacturers, the food admnistra-
ton states, is to assure sufficient
sugar for home Gamers and for COM
mercial manufactures of preserves,
jams and other fOodstuffs regarded
rs essential.
Distribution of sugar will be we'll
policed under the certificate plan.
md the elimination of fictitious de-
nands will be practically assured.
Manufacturers of the less essentials
particularly confectionery and soft
drinks. will be allowed to buy only
eighty per cent of ,he amount of SUI
ear they used last year; but manu-
facturers of essential foodstuffs will
be permitted TO buy sufficient sugar
TO meet their full requirements.
Ice cream is put i'm the preferred
class to assure consumption of sur
plus milk supplies and TO encourage
larry interests and to maintain pro-
luction.
III is stated that manufacturer
using sugar who expanded their
business after last November and be-
sore April of the present year, i'm the
race OF an actual sugar shortage and
with full knowledge of the food ad-
ministration's announced program OF
sugar conservation, will be cut down
to fifty per cent of requirements, and
those Who commenced operations or
increased their capacities after April
l, 1918 will not he allowed to pur-
chase sugar in, any amounts.
Control Of distribution will be I'm
he hands Of the food administrator
for the State, William Elliott, and
certificates on which sugar can be Sc
cured by manufacturers will be issued
only upon sworn statements showinp
amounts to which each is entitled.
1t is regarded by The food admin
istration as vitality necessary tina,
there be a sufficient amount of sugar
to supply all neeGs for home canning
and preserving of fruits and Vege-
tables-a conservation measure urped
by the food administration. For Sc
curing sugar for such purposes the
plan has already been announced ana

DAIRY FARM CROPS.
Now is the Time to Plant Crops fO,
Cows

Clemson College May 9.-Milk,
oo'h Tor city and farm homes, for
children and for grOwn-ups. becomes
much more important article of
'oo"' uhder war conditions than it is
normally 1t makes little difference
"hat else we may he asked to fore
go IN order to help feed the soldiers.
II 'he supply of milk, butter and cot
''se cheese can be kept up we shall
not suIier Tor an unbalanced diet.
lhls problem of keeping up and in
creaslng the home supply of milk is
worthy OF some of the best thought
OF all patriotic farmers and dairy
men. Cheap feed becomes the most
important factor in solving this prob
lem.
Inc following crops are advised by
the Clemson College Extension Divis-
'on In cooperation with the United
"''tes department of Agriculture as
means OF producing these cheap
foods.
fIrst-Plant plenty of velvet beans
and plant them now. An early ma
turing variety should be used and
should be planted in corn fields. IF
painting is postponed until Qate n
satisfactory yield will not be obtain
ed.
Second-Plant Sorghum for sum-
mer and winter feeding. Sorghum
may be shocked i'm the field like corn.
ana red from the shock throughout
the winter with excellent results.
Tnird-With as many as ten COWS
to feed build a silo and fill it with
corn and sorghum.
by making use of these suggestions
the dairymen assures himself of a
reasonable profit i'm milk production
ana the general farmer places him
self in position to keep his own table
supplied with indispensable articles
Of food
Those farmers expecting to build
sllos this summer are advised by the
Clemson College Extension Division to
make immediate arrangements about
getting the materials. Some mater
lals are going to be hard to obtain
on account Of shipping conditions

terials that have to be shipped from
some distance.
Farmers expecting to build con
crete and hollow tile silOs. and who
are unable to get materials may sti!l
build wooden hoop silos There
should, therefore. be no Stacking IN
the putting in of siage crops.
Wooden hoop slos have been tried
out for many years in eastern Ten
hessee and for several years in Sout!
Carolina. On account Of the cheap.
ness of construction it is a comm on
saying that wooden hoop silO save.
