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-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today Is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
Qerman-Austrian crops, as we'll 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 1917-1918 crop OF cane sug-
ar was two million tons in excess of
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
it requires 100 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 a 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 hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average of 1852 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. Axistence before the war and before
thu general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar y 1918
than in 1857, when the total output
was 2O2, AS tons.
Italy in 1918 produced 100000
tons of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O,25O less than the annual output of
sugar for the five year pre-war Pc
Rod.
One of the great difficulties expert
enced in 1taly'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.

When I reported on the Cassard

changed into the regular uniform Of
the legion, which is about like that Of
the infantry, with the regimental
badge-a seven-tlamed grenade.
We travelled from Brest by rail, in
third-class cars, passing through La
Havre and st. Pol, and finally arriving
at Bergues. From Bergues we made
the trip to Dixmude by truck-a dis
lance Of about twenty miles. We car
r1ed no rations with US, but at certain
places along the line the train stopped,
and we got out to eat our meals. At
every railroad station they have booths
or counters. and French girls work day
and night feeding the Poilus. 1t was
wonderful sight to see these girls, and
1t made you feel good to think you
were going to fight for them.
It was not only what they did, but
the way they did it, and it is at things
like this that the French beat the
world. They could tell just what kind
of treatment each Pollu needed, and
they saw to it that he got 1t. They
took special pains with the men Of the
legion, because, as they say, we are
strangers" and that means, 1.-The best

There is another thing about the
French women that have noticed and
that is this: There are pretty girls in
every country under the sun, but the
plain girls in France are prettier than
the plain ones In other countries. They
might not show it in photographs, but
In action there is something about
them that you cannot explain. 1 have
aever seen an ugly French girl who
was not easy to look at.
We finally got to Dixmude, after
having spent about eighteen hours on
the way. On our arrival one company
was sent to the reserve trenches and
my company went to the front line
trench. We were not placed in train
ing camps, because most Of US had
been under fire before. 1 never had,
but that was not supposed to make
any difference. They say If you can
stand the legion you can stand any
thing.
Before we entered the communion
ton trench, we were drawn up along
side of q crossroad for rest, and to
receive certain accOutrements. Pretty
soon we saw bunch of Boches COM

a few of them being slightly wounded.

Food
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
CHEESE.

why are We not asked to save cheese3
Because we have plentiful sup
ply on hand in addition to that
needed for exports.
How much cheese did We import n
1914?
An average of over 5000, 900
pounds every month.
How much did We import in August,
1917
Halt a million pounds.
What is the food value Of pound Of
cheese?
American pale cheese contains
1905 grams protein, 1928 grams
fat, 1875 grams carbohydrates, and
furnishes 2,055 calories accord
ing to Atwater and Bryant). It
equals l pound Of fat meat In
energy value.
ID cheese made of whole milk or skim
milk?
Most of It is made Of whole
milk.
Since the butter supply Is limited, why
not make cheese Of skim milk and
use cream for butter production?
Because cheese is made when
there are such quantities Of milk
on hand that all of 1t could not be
put on the' market or consumed
as milk or butter. It is really =
by-product of the dairy industry.
What per cent of the milk produced
is made into butter and what per
cent goes into cheese?
Sixty per cent to butter, s per
cent to cheese.
What is cottage cheese made Of?
Skim milk, buttermilk, or sour
milk.
Is cottage cheese nourishing food?
Yes. It is rich in protein, and
In price it is one of the cheapest
protein foods now available.
What does pound Of cottage cheese
represent as protein value in terms
of other foods?
One pound cottage cheese IL
equivalent to-
1.27 pounds sirloin steak.
1877 pounds chuck rib beef. {
1.53pounds fowl. ]
1.46 pounds fresh ham,

DAIRY PRODUCTS.
What are the dairy products?

WHAT are Inc DAIRY prOQuCLS!
Milk, cream, butter, cheese, fee
cream, etc.
What are the distinctive qualities Of
milk, butter, and cheese?
Milk is called a perfect food"
because it contains all the food
elements in nearly the right pro
portion for proper nutrition and
in the most digestible form; but
ter is probably the most attract
i've fat and is 100 per cent digest
ible; cheese has high protein,
value and is good substitute tol
meat.
Why is the number of dairy cattle
in Europe diminishing?
Because Europe has had to eat
many dairy animals; because
shortage of labor has reduced fod.
der and help necessary for the
herds; and shortage of shipping
has limited the amount of i'm
ported fodder
Why do the Allies turn to us for
dairy products?
Because supplies reaching them
from Scandinavia, Holland, and
Switzerland are now largely cut
of, and shipping can not be pro-
vided to bring food from Austria
liza and New Zealand.
Why should we encourage our dairy
industry?
Because children need plenty
of milk and butter; because the
world faces a shortage of milk
and butter; and because dairying
Is fundamental in much of our
agriculture.
How can we use dairy products most
wisely?
By using butter only on the
table; by using more skim and
sour milk and more whole milk;
by wasting no milk or butter.
May we use ice cream freely?
Ice cream is a healthful food
and offers an excellent way of
using milk products. But it con-
tains sugar, which is one of the
foods we wish to save Patronize
dealers who use corn strip and
honey in place Of sugar, and when
making it at home, always use
other sweeteners.
How much butter did we export to
Europe from July l, 1915, to July
l, 1916?
6,622,073 pounds, most of which
went to the Allies.
How much cheese did we export in the
same period?
38,221,450 pounds, most Of
which went to the Allies.
How much condensed milk did we ex-
port in the same period?
99,541 ,098 pounds. All except
about 100000 pounds of this
went to the Allies.
Have we kept up the Immensely in.
creased exports which marked the
fiscal year 1851?
No; from July 1, 1917, to Janu-
ary> Il, 1918, we sent 100000
pounds less butter and $4,000. 900
