Sugar Is Now Placed Under Control in
Louisiana.

AVOAoa1m0s
Tn. sugar division is the latest bu-
reau in connection with the Food Ad-
ministration of Louisiana. 1t will
supervise and regulate the distribu-
ton of sugar among the different in
dustries which utilize that commodity.
Ordinarily there would be plenty Of
sugar in the country, for the United
States has large quantity in storage
in Cuba. enough to turn loose $50, O00
tons a month. Though Cuba is not far
away the ships cannot be spared from
the duty and the danger of carrying
men, munitions. meat, dour and other
food through the submarine sones to
the lines that are holding HindenburR
and the Huns. So there is possibiii-
ty of shortage, and the United States
Food Administrator deemed it wise ia
take precautions. Regulation of dis
tribution and the sugar division are
the outcome.
The plan is to hold sugar users tc
about 80 per cent of their normal con-
sumption. or the quantity used last
year.
