1918 CANNING SEASON
IS VITAL TO VICTORY

Never before in the history Of Amer
lea. has the canning season played
such an important part as it does this
year. House wives must can for vic
tSry and can A. much as possible.
Strawberries have come and are 10
ing-for another year unless wise
housekeepers pop them into cans and
store them In cool dark fruit closets
for winter. Berries Of other sorts are
appearing, and from now on, pra ctical-
ly every week will bring some new
fruit or vegetable upon the market
which should be stored away for via
ter food by the women Of America who
understand to how great an extent
their canning now means to the food
supply of the future.
Because the food administration rso.
ognixed the tremendous assistance
American women would render BY
canning and preserving the 25-pouud
sugar arrangement was made. Any
one can, upon the signing of a certifi-
cate stating that the sugar obtained u
to be used for canning and preseryius
purposes only, get as often as IL neo.

HOOVER GIVES REASON
Low SUGAR SUPPLIES

"A number OF causes have cumulat-
ed to make our sugar position more
difficult than We could have anticipat
ed at the beginning of the year" 50 =
United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover in communication
received by Federal Food Admnistra-
tor Thomas b. Stearns. The in
creased shipping needed by our grow
ing army in France has necessitated
the curtailment of sugar transporta-
ton. particularly from the longer voy-
age, and has thus reduced supplies
both to the allies and ourselves from
remote markets. Some OF the accessi-
BILE sugar producing areas have proved
a less yield than was anticipated such
as certain Of the West Indian Islands.
The domestic beet and Louisiana crops
have fallen below anticipation. There
has been some destruction of beet su-
gar factories in the battle area of
France and Italy. We have lost sugar
by submarines
las close an estimate as we can
make indicates Il reasonable eXpecta-
ton from all sources of about 1,G00, 900
tons of sugar for the United States
consumption during the last half of
the present year. This is based upon
the maintenance of the present mea
gre allied ration. An Improvement in
shipping conditions would of course
relieve this situation as quantities of
sugar are in unavailable markets. We
must, however. base the distribution OF
sugar during the next six months, up
on the above footing. After that period
the new West Indian crop will be
available.
This supply Of 100000 tons neces-
states considerable reduction in our
consumption. To provide three pounds
Of sugar per person per month for
household use, to take care of our
army and navy and to provide for the
necessary preservation Of fruit, milk,
etc. will require about 100000 tons
Of sugar for the six months-Herbert
