PLENTY OF SUGAR
IN VERMONT NOW
Great Problem Is to Limit Our Con.
sumption to the Allotment Made
to Us by Washington.

MONTPELIER, August 3-The fol-
lowing statement relative to the sugar
situation in Vermont was issued today
at the state food administration offices
In this city:
Frank III. Brooks, federal food adj
ministrator for Vermont, has gone to
Washington to confer with food ad-
ministration officials on the sugar situa-
ton in Vermont
The great trouble is not the scarcity
of sugar in Vermont, for there is now
in the state sufficient supply for all
immediate needs. But the problem is
to limit our consumption to the allot-
ment made to us by Washington There
may be sugar in the state, and yet if
we have already consumed our reason-
able proportion, we have no right to
use it. Our allotment is reasonably
sufficient for all our needs, considering
that we are living in period when it
IS the duty of everyone to sacrifice,
but on account of our previous un-
stinted use of sugar, it is now neees-
sary for the people of Vermont to make
radical change in their habits of us
ing sugar.
The consumption of sugar NAV be
limited in one of two ways. First,
by the individual who responds to the
patriotic duty and consumes less sugar.
and, second, by limited distribution.
Mr. Brooks feels that there has been
very hearty and universal co-opera-
ton on the part of the great majority
of our people in limiting their use of
sugar At the same time when
the order for the regulated distribu-
ton of sugar was first made some deal
ers and wholesalers took alarm and
made every effort to secure a large SUM-
ply OF sugar 1t has recently developed
That many statements made to the food
Office exaggerated the needs for sugar.
and as certificates for the purchase of
sugar were based upon statements re-
turned the result was that certificates
were issued for the purchase of sugar
largely in excess of the states allot-
ment for the month of July The is
SUING of certificates was therefore noe
essarlly suspended, and it is for the
purpose of getting authority from Wash
lngton to carry out plan of re-distri-
button of sugar in Vermont that has
called Mr.. Brooks to Washington. A
special appeal win be made by him to
secure authority to carry out a plan
which he has in mind that will supply
all reasonable needs of the people
