SHORTAGE OF 100000 TONS
OF SUGAR REASON for SAVING
Department Investigators Explain Why
Wcrld Production Has Been
Reduced

If any man has failed to see the rea-
son why he should cut his plentiful
apportionment Of two spoonfuls of SUI
gar to the one Of wartime, he can find
it in recent publication of the United
States department of agriculture ex-
planning the worldwide shortage
especially the shortage among the al.
lies-in the supply of sweets.
Not only has the supply of sugar in
some parts Of the United States been
short, but there has been an actual
shortage Of more than than 100000
tons annually in the world since the
war began, and the shortage is Likely
to continue, the publication says, pri-
marily because of the destruction of a
large number of sugar mills and the
devastation of considerable area of
sugar producing lands in Europe.
Prior to the war, practically all the
belligerent countries, with the excep-
ton of the United Kingdom and Italy,
exported sugar, the total amount be-
ing upward of 100000 tons, War,
however, has changed the sugar pro-
duction map, and at the same time has
shifted the channels of trade. In 1918
it is estimated that the allies must i'm
port a minimum of 100000 tons of
sugar.
Formerly the United Kingdom and
France depended to considerable ex-
tent upon Germany, ria-Hungary
Belgium and Russia for sugar. These
sources were shut off by the war. The
United Kingdom alone thus lost the
source of more than half her normal
supply of sugar and has turned to new
as well as other oldu sources for her
supply. The changes thus brought
about have been largely diversion 81
the product OF Mauritius to the United
Kingdom insteal Of to India, and an
expansion of unreined sugar from
Cuba, the Philippines and Peru. For
refined sugar, she drew upon the Unit
ed States and Java. However, the al
lies cannot turn to such exporting
countries as Java and Mauritius with
out being forced to go much longer
distance and over a more perilous
route than across the Atlantic. II
the allies are compelled to go to these
countries it will require an extra
amount of shipping which is needed
for transportation of American SOL
diers and supplies to France and Eng
land.
Russia's exports practically ceased
in 1914, and she is now reported as
somewhat short Of sugar. Italy's crop
decreased last year and her imports
have increased largely since the war
began. Italy's normal consumption,
however, is small and her edfcit is not
serious.

NITRATE ON CORN

Because many did not understand
the method of applying nitrate to
corn this season and that experience
is fresh in their minds these ideas are
presented. When applying nitrate of
soda to corn use rs to 100 pounds
to the acre applied along the row when
the plants are few inches high, and
when they are not wet from dew or
rain. Some growers prefer to use one
half of their nitrate of soda at this
time and the balance about ten days
later in the same manner. Nitrate e
soda gives the best returns when used
on extremely poor soils, which would
ordinarily produce Is to Is bushels to
the acre. Be sure to use phosphate,
$50 to 200 pounds to the acre at the
time corn is planted.
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1918-05-31

fighting for the right are saved,
whether they be protesting Christians
or not.
The Mohammedans hold the same
creed, that a slain warrior goes
straight to Allah.
And pagan Japan teaches that death
in battle is surety of reward.
And behind these two is the old,
old legend of Morse mythology that
0din sent his valkyries or maids
to every battlefield to bear up to his
Hall Of Valhalla the souls of slain he
roes who were thus lifted to immor-
tally. The myth has been the subject
of song and story and opera for gem
erations.
So the belief enunciated in Chicago
is an old one revamped for present US
age. That it does not fit the facts of
today any more than it fitted the facts
of long ago is perfectly apparent, for
if dying bravely in battle wins or
men life everlasting, would not the
same kind of death win the same re-
ward for the Huns? For the Huns
are courageous fighters, nobody denies
that; but it is unbelievable to us that
they should be exonerated from all
their atrocities and given the same
reward as men who have fought
clean and humane fight for the good Of
the world.
There may be some good German
soldiers, but we viii have to leave it
to the detective angels to find them.

Sashes and Girdles Mode.

Sashes and wide girdles are an i'm
portant accessory of many of the new
est gowns. In glrdles, the wide crush
ed styles made of fabric or Of ribbon
are favored, being twisted twice
around the waist and buttoned on eth
er side. Wide, draped girdles of hand
some brocaded ribbon are also employ
ed, especially across the front Of a
gown. Checked and plaid taffeta are
very good for silk dresses for summer.
The light colors used in them make a
welcome relief from the rather somber
colors Of our suits and street dresses
of cloth.

When Miss America goes canoeing
she takes A for granted that she may
have to swim as well as paddle. It's a
foregOne conclusion that all well-regu-
lated canoes turn turtle occasionally,
and this lends spice to the sport and
to the clothes worn for 1t. Here is a
one-piece dress for fair canOeist,
made of black and white silk in q
snappy design, that is enough TO lure
an amateur into the most treacherOus
Of crafts. 1t is not a regulation swim
ming suit, but canoes are not sup
posed to venture into dangerous wa
tiers and 1t will answer for swimming
If swim she must.
| It is made with q bodice with short
sleeves cut in one with 1t, Joined to a
wide bifurcated skirt much like bloom
ers. 1t opens at the left front to a
point a little below the waistline and
fastens with snap fasteners. Narrow
black silk braid is used for binding
the sleeves and belt and finishes the
neck opening, where 1t disports itself
In a small square at the back and
front, merely for the sake of orna-
ment. 1t is applied to each side Of the
skirt In the same way, with the
squares larger.
Gray ribbed stockings with black
stripes, and black sandals, show the
details of this outfit to be carefully
chosen. 1t is topped off with rubber

cap and this should be in bright col
or-red, or green, or yellow, so that 1t
cannot be easily lost sight of if its
wearer is obliged to swim and right
her canoe.
Besides silk, mOhalr Is a splendid
fabric for canoeing and bathing dress
es. 1t sheds water quickly and is wiry
and strong. Army or navy blue. with
white braid is a familiar combination
that never grows tiresome. and this
material has no match for durability.
