SUGAR..

A number OF causes have cumulated
10 make our sugar position more diff
Quit than we could have anticipated
ct the beginning OF the year. Among
these causes are:
Increased shipping needed by ouS
growing army in France.
Certain West Indian Islands and
other accessible sugar producing areas
have proved . less yield than was
anticipated.
The domestic beet and Louisiana
crops have fallen below anticipation.
There has been some destruction of
beet sugar factories in the battle area
Of France and Italy.
We have lost considerable sugar by
Submarines.
A close estimate indicates a reason
sble expectation from all sources OF
about 100000 tons Of sugar for Unit
ed States consumption during the last
half Of 1918.
THIS 100000 tons necessitates a
considerable reduction in our con-
sumption. It will require 100000
tons for six months to meet the fol.
lowing needs.
To provide three pounds of sugar
per month per person for household
use.
To take care Of our Army and Navy.
To provide for the necessary preser
vatton Of fruit, milk, ct estera.
This conservation program means
that for household use, together with
the special allowance for home can
ming. reduction of Is per cent. from
normal, but that Is nearly double the
ration in the Allied countries.
Astailsrs must not sell sugar to
any except households and boarding
houses feeding less than twenty-five
persons without taking up the GER
tincatss Of such persons. They must
mot sell more than two pounds Al
any one time to any town customer
or more than I'VE pounds at any one
time 70 any country oustomer. The
retailer will do his best not to sell
more than three pounds per person
| per month to householder, whose CO
operation with the retailer Is earnest
ly sought.
Retailers may ~ at present sell rs
| pounds Of sugar to any one household
for home canning upon the household
ers certifying that he has not bought
| elsewhere and agreeing to return any
balance unused for this purpose. The
house holder can obtain more than "a
| pounds upon approval Of local admin
| istrator. II supplies are available.
II viii b seen that there 10 no direct
rationing Of the householder. 1t would
cost the Government $4,000, 900 to put
the householder on ration card and
would take the services Of 100000
people to take care of the work en-
tailed We cannot afford the labor Of
money and Il householders will co
operate Il can be avoided.
