1918 CANNING SEASON
IS VITAL TO VICTORY

Never before In the history of Amer
ica. has the canning season played
such an important part as 1t does this
year. House wives must can for vic
tory and can as much as possible
Strawberries have come and are 60
ing-for another year unless wise
housekeepers pop them into cans ant
store them in cool dark fruit closets
for winter. Berries of other sorts are
appearing. and from now on. practical
ly every week will bring some new
fruit or vegetable upon the market
which should be stored away for win
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 rec
ognized the tremendous assistance
American women would render by
canning and preserving the 25-pound
sugsr arrangement was made. Any
one can, upon the signing OF a certlfi
cate stating that the sugar obtained Is
to be used for canning and preserving
purposes only. get as often as is nec-
essary. sb pounds of sugar at one
time The certificates are held by the
retail grocer and are sent in to the
state food headquarters where they
are checked and filed.

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., says
United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover in a communication
received by Federal Food Administra-
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.
.'As close an estimate as we can
make indicates a reasonable expecta-
tion from all sources of about 1900, 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 10000 tons neces-
L IL
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.9Herbert

Hold Cotton for Higher Prices.

Commenting Oh the cotton situation,
w. 4. Tay lOr, President OF the Shreye-
port Cotton Exchange. said recently:
Cotton to-day is being quoted at Il
price below the cost of production, and
the planters shclld not be expected to
sell at loss. Under the present con-
ditiOns in the South. cotton cannot be
successfully produced at the prevailing
quotation.
There is nothing in the present sit
uation to warrant the low prices, and
if the planters will stand pat and re-
fuse to sell at the reduced levels they
will surely lie rewarded for thir per-
sistency. because the world needs more
cotton than is now in existence. and as
soon as peace is declared and the high
seas are opened to traffic between ma
tons there will be a clamor for Ameri-
can cotton such as never was witnessed
before. and prices will naturally and
inevitably 60 to much higher levels
than have yet prevailed.
= 1t is well known that all of Europe
is without raw material, and factories
will not he able to run over there until
the raw material can he secured. so the
cessation of hostilities should be a
stimulant to the market instead of a
deterrent
by all means, the planters should
stand together solidly and refuse to
part with pound of their cotton ut
the abnormally low prices brought
about by the Vaccinations Of the spec
ulatOrs Oh the bear side of the market. =
