Administration has asked the Ameri.
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWOPOUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER

| Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations-where the present sug-
at ration is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need Of
keeping our army and navy s6pplied
are two Of the leading causes Of the
curtailment Of Americas sugar ration.

two pounds Of sugar per, person (half

at Washington, where employees Of the
Food Administration take. their noon

CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.

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 -1018 Is at least three and half
million tons.
That the 1917 19fS 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

In Java a large part of the old sugar

it requires $50 to 16O days for each

French beet sugar industry has suf.,

Yield of beet sugar is now only o9.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the FIVE years preceding the OUT
break of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average of.752,542 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 nfanaged to manu-
facture more beet, sugar in 1917-1S
than in 1867, when the total output
was 202, 4l5 tons.
