WORLD SHORTAGE
IN Beet SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practlced.

The world today Is producing forty
per cent less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the U. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop Of
1917-191S is at least three and a half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S crop Of cane sug-
ar was two million tons in excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half of
the world cane crop, and the, Java, sug-
ar Is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping Is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the MILL
tary forces in France.
In Java a large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
It requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
Of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as a group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar Is now only 20.1
per cent. Of the pre-war average.
For the FIVE years preceding the out
break Of hostillties in Europe, France
produced an average Of 1852 tons of
sugar each year. For 1918 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 1918
than in 1916-17, when the total output
was 202,415 tons.
Italy in 1917-18 produced 100000
tons Of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O,25O less than the annual output Of
sugar for the Ave year pre-war pc
Rod.
One of the great difficulties expert
enced In Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands Of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half Of the usual quantity of
beets harvested.

SAGINAW RECORDS PROVE
WORTH OF PROHIBITION

One hundred and nineteen DRINKS in
April, the last wet month in Michigan,
and only eight in May, June and July,
the first three dry months, is the re-
markable record of the city police
court, record to which Justice Arthur
Clements points as indisputable proof
of the good effect of the dry regime.
Added to this is the fact that in
Auril, Just Clements issued warrants
for eight wife-beaters, all of whom
committed the offense while under the
influence of liquor, while not one such
warrant has gone out from police court
since the state went dry. Then, too,
there is the unprecedented condition
at the county Jail, which has been
wholly uninhabited for nearly week.
