SHARE OUR SUGAR
 WITH THE ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month. French Pound and Half,
 Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetening
 fer Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two pounds month per person is equita ble when compared with the sugar ra- ton enforced hy rigid governmental order in England, France and Italy na- tions with which We are sharing sugar.
 Each Allied nation-in the matter of sugar consumption-is sharing on near est possible equal terms the hardships Imposed by greatly altered conditions in the world sugar situation.
 Formerly classed as luxury, sugar IS now war time essential The fair and just division of this essential is in the hands of the various Allied food controllers.
 The United States Food Administra- ton .has asked this nation to observe a voluntary sugar ration of two pounds per person month.
 In the other countries at war with Germany sugar is one of the scarce articles on every menu-whether in the households of both rich and poor, or in the hotels
 England today has a sugar ration of two pounds per month per person.
 
 half and in Italy it is one pound a month. And the prices in allied coun- tries are from two to three times as high as in America.
 If you go to hotel in England or France these days and order tea or coffee they serve absolutely no sugar with it. If you want sugar you must bring is with you.
 In England it is allowable to use sone-seventh of an ounce of sugar in the preparation of each luncheon In France many persons carry little sac charine tablets about with them for use in hotels and in England rich and poor must take their sugar with them if they wish to have sweetened tea while visiting friends.
 Before the war started France had 625, ,000 acres devoted to sugar produc- tion. By 1917 the French sugar acre age had decreased to 1S0,000 acres. Today the French man or woman with sugar card has 10 assurance whatever that he or she will be able to actually buy sugar. To buy it, one must first ind it.
 Italy Has "State Sugar."
 Especially drastic regulations govern the use of sugar in Italy. Its manu- facture distribution and sale are close ly controlled, and in part actually taken over by the state.
 Saccharine is permitted to be sold and used as a subsIituta for sugar and the government manufactures a mix rture of saccharine and sugar called estate Sugar" which is largely used.
 German Sugar Ration Adequate.
 Germany, before the war, produced 8 great surplus of sugar and exported large quantities. Today the Germans have virtually gone out of the export business, but have plenty of cheap sugar for home use
 Wholesale prices prevalent in the Allied nations, according to informa- tion received by the United States Food Administration are as follows: England. 10 cents pound; France, 12 cents Italy, 26 cei;s.

 They are maple sugar syrups, honey and molasses and may be used in preparing des- serts and other dishes requiring sweetening.

STRAWBERRY CROP NOT LARGE.

The strawberry crop is not a large
yield in Delaware. and especially is
this true at points where the land is
largely devoted to the growing of this
fruit. At and around Selbyville the
weevil has taken a large toll of the
early berries and growers assert that
they would have to average twenty
IiVe cents per quart to make any pro
mt out of their fields. The latter var
ieties will not come on for ten days
yet, but these are always less prolific
bearers than the early varieties.
At Selbyville the strawberries are
coming in in less volume than former
seasons, but the prices have been sat
isfactory. In the vicinity of Selbv-
vile the conditions for strawberry
culture are different from those nre-
vailing in any other section of this
peninsula, and especially in Della
ware. The strawberry seems to grow
better and generally more profitable
to the producer, than elsewhere.

NOW FOR SHEEP.

The Maryland Legislature did no
thing at its recent session more cred
table TO its moral courage or Of great
er material promise to the State than
its passage OF the bill designed to
promote sheep-raising. For many
years earnest efforts have been made
to induce legislatures TO pass such
law, but they have always failed,
because OF political cowardice of the
legislators The fear of the dog vote
prevented us from developing a pas
tOral industry of the first magnitude
And with this selfish fear there was
coupled an unselhsh sympathy Near
ly all Of us love a dog, and no matter
how worthless the dog may be he
loves his owner and his owner for
that reason loves him. The poor man
has few comforts and few friends, so
why deprive him of his dog, it was
urged And il was impossible to
make Roadway against this double
barrier Of political expediency and
false sentiment. We should, prObab-
ly, still be a dog-lavless State had it
not been for the war. Patriotism tri-

IN MEMORIAM.

At Las a m, this beautiful May
weather. the soul of Walter, beloved
and afflicted son of Mr.. and Mrs
David Mills, of Bowers, Delaware,
went to his reward. Loyalty and af-
fectiOn were his until the end.
Those who knew the family inti-
mately, know also of the cross he
carried for a full score and ten years,
and how gratefully resigned he must
have been to leave us.
His constant friend and companion,
his devoted and loving mother, misses
and shall miss him always, but thanks
the Divine Providence that called him
first. She was his one stay and guide
and nurse through 80 years of bodily
suffering and mental blackness, and
her one great and enduring fear was
that she might be taken away before
him, and he be left to strange, or
other hands. not as patient or loving
as her own. And now that we can
condone with her, we, too, thank God
for his release and her answered
prayer.
"Requiescat in pace"
A FRIEND.

THE PRESIDENTS Proclamation
calling more men to the cOlOrs is
printed on page six of this issue of
The Chronicle, and every person
should read it carefully and obey the
cali promptly. This country is at the
place where loyalty must be shown
by acts, and sulking or grumbling
will not be tolerated. There are but
two classes in the United States. one
patriots, the other traitors. This is
no time that a man or woman may
say what they please, or do as they
may choose. 1t is no time when criti-
cism shall be permitted to hold back
any effort the national authorities
may make to get men and munitions
across the ocean to defeat the Ger
man armies. This is the vital mat
ter with which every man, woman and
child in America has to do. Rebuke

Lpoken in ignorance. Align yourself
with patriots, everywhere and at all

Reports this week through reliable

stated last Tuesday that on the road

ably a quarter of an acre of the
worms crossing the highway, and
eating corn, wheat, and all forms of

one of the worst enemies of the farm
