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
Practleed.

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 Z. S. Food Admlnistra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the lig.a crop of
1917-1918 is at least three and q 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 10
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java a large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
II requires $50 to leo days for each

ties Of obtaining adequate shipments
Of Java sugar this season are remote.
SiiSs TtOAA~NtOH aus
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 To-. 542 tons Of
sugar each year For l917-1s the
French production was 219,4l6 tons.
with 81 factories operating. as com
pared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed 70 manu-
facture more beet sugar In 1017-18
than In 1861, when the total output
was 202, AIS tons.
Italy in l917-1s produced 100sOU
tons Of beet sugar. which was $1,000
tons less than the previous year and
110.250 less than the annual output OF
sugar for the five year pFe-war Pc
Rod.
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
