SUGAR OUTLOOK FOR 1918.

The available sources of supply
from which we and the allies can OBJ
tain sugar at liberal estimate will
probably yield approximately $780,
900 tons.
If our usage should be the same
as in 1917 and the Allies usage the
same as in 1917, our total usage for
the year 1918 would just about equal
the total available supply.
1t looks as though we would have
enough and perhaps little to spare.
However, all the uncertainties of
weather, transportation, shipping and
all the contingencies of the future
must be taken into consideration, and
as a measure of safety, for we can
better afford to be little economical
now than to be put on short ratlons
later, it is wise plan to request the
manufacturers and the consumers to
be economical in their sugar usage
until we know more about what we
can depend upon for an absolute GER
tainty.

farmers RIGHTS
STAKED IN WAR
"Freedom OF Seas" VIII Keep Europ,
can Markets Open To Ameri-
can Producers

Southern farmers have as much at
stake in this war as any other Ameri-
cans.-It is their war.
We are fighting for the freedom
of the seas"-the farmers right to sell
cotton, corn, wheat, rice, etc, abroad.
The determination of the United
States to send supplies and food to the
Allies sent the price of cotton to 80
cents and above, and put the price of
food crop up to the highest figure in
fifty years.
If the Allies win this war American
farmers always can find ready mar
ket in Europe for their products. Thou
sands of ships are being built to send
the crops abroad after the war. But
we must win to do it. Germany plans
to invade this country just as it over
ran Belgium. Evidence in the hands
of government officials proves this
statement Southern farmers are en-
joying the benefit of their crops now,
but If Germany invades this country
their wives and daughters will be
forced to raise crops for Germany
Just as Belgian and French women
and children are forced in the fields
to feed the German army. Their land
will be devastated just as Belgian
farms have been-their land then will
be used to feed Germany and their
crops will bring them nothing.
Farmers Depended Upon
The government always has depend
ed upon the Southern farmer to do
his duty, whether to raise more food,
fight or finance. They have been ex-
empted from fighting thus far to en-
able them to raise more food, and
they have received the highest prices
for their products. Now the govern
ment wants the farmer to help finance
the war 1t is just as much his duty
to help finance the war as it is to raise
food.
The third Liberty Loan will soon be
fioated. 1t is the farmers duty to in
vest as much money as they can in
these United States government
bonds. There is nothing hard to un-
derstand about a United States gov
ernment bond You merely subscribe
through your banker and the govern
ment pays you interest on the invest
ment, giving you the wealth of the
whole country as security. Liberty
bonds are as sound as a dollar.
