MILITARY CONTROL
OF FARM LABOR
Is Forecast at Conference Held We'd
nesday In, Bourbon County.

Paris, KY, August 81 -. Military
control of agricultural labor for the
season of 1919 and thereafter until the
war closes was forecast at a confer
ence held at the courthouse in Paris
TINS afternoon by representatives of
the Kentucky Council of Defense and
farmers of Bourbon county.
The conference was held in the in
terest of an increased acreage of
wheat for the 1918 crop year, and for
the completion of data in reference to
the Bourbon County situation as to
labor requirements and facilities
needed for caring for the crop when
harvested.
The enormous crop of wheat in
Bourbon county this year developed
the fact that local dealers cannot
handle it. and this fact was laid be-
fore the constituted authorities, who
guaranteed that not only will thresh-
ers be provided with competent labor
next year, but that dealers can pre-
pare for any emergency in the hand
ling OF the crop. The same guarantee
will also apply to the large corn crop,

Deaths from kidney disease have in

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-thlrd
In Rigid War Economy
Praetlced.
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
1917-1918 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 large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
1t 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 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 29.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the FIVE years preceding the out
break of hostillties In Europe, France
produced an average of 1882 tons of
sugar each yeaA For 1918 the
French production was 219,418 tons.
With or factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
g. 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 1857, when the. total output
was 202,415 TONS
Italy in 1917-1s produced 10O,SOO
tons of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
11o,250 less than the annual output of
sugar for the, Eve year pre-war Pc
riod.
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.

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS

In spite of subnormal food supply
in this country the American people
have been able to ship to the Allies
as well as our own forces overseas
141 100000 bushels of wheat, besides
844, 900, 600 pounds of meat, during the
year ending June 80 last. This has
been made possible by the whole
souled cooperation Of the people,
who, besides practcing self-denial,
have speeded up production and re-
Sponded nobly to the appeal from
abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a
letter to President Wilson, gives q
brief summary of the results of food
conservation In the United States and
Of the activities of the Food Admin
istration to this end. The conserve
ton measures have been put through
practically on a voluntary basis which
Is regarded as a splendid tribute to
the patriotism Of the American people.
Meat shipments were increased S44,-
100000 pounds during the first fiscal
year, as compared with our meat ex-
ports during the year before America
entered the war.
1.-THE total value of these food ship
ments," Mr.. Hoover wrote President
Wilson, (which were In the main pur-
chased through or with collaboration
Of the Food Administration, amount
to. roundly, $1,400, 100000 during the
fiscal year."
In 1867 the United States sent
the Allies 2,1e6, 100000 pounds Of
meat. In 1918, with voluntary con-
servation practiced in America, and
aided by extra weight of animals, we
sent the Allies 2,011, 100000 pounds Of
meat, an increase Of S44,600,0O0
pounds.
Wheat Saving Enormous.
When the Food Administration be-
gan operations in the summer of 1917,
this country was facing large deficit
In wheat Counting in all carry-over
wheat from the 1915 crop, we had at
the beginning of the 1917 harvest year
Just enough wheat to take care Of
Americas normal consumption,-not a
bushel Of surplus.
At the close of the 1917-18 harvest
year the Food Administrations official
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments to the other side had been
100000 bushels. Every bushel
shipped was wheat saved by the
American people from their normal
consumption.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms OF cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations were
840,S00,000 bushels, S0,900.000 bushels
more than the amount sent In 1916-17.
Included In these figures are 13,900,-
600 bushels of rye and the $4,000, 900
bushels of saved wheat. In addition
we sent the neutrals dependent on us
100000 bushels of prime breadstuffs.
"These figures do not fully convey
the volume of the effort and sacrifice
made during the past year by the
whole American people," the Food Ad-
ministrator wrote. II am sure that
all the millions Of our people, agricul-
tural as web as urban, who have con-
tributed to these results should feel
a very definite satisfaction that In a
