SUGAR SITUATION is
BECOMING CRITICAL
Radical Conservation Methods Must he
Adopted to Save Sugar for
Summer Preserving.

The grave concern Of the Federal
and State food administrations over
the extremely critical sugar situation
has mnde 1t necessary to create what
Is known as the sugar division of tho
State food administration. with w. A.
Powell. up to this time head Of the
inspection department OF the enforce
ment division, as the director.
Tho appointment has been made by
State Food Administrator Sproul in
recognition not only Of Mr.. Powelrs
Intimate knowledge OF the problems
brought about by the exigencies OF
the present situation, but also in REQ
ognition OF the splendid service which
has been rendered the State through
Mr.. Powcll's activities as chief in
spector Of the enforcement division
under the direction OF Mr.. Bethel,
Through MIR. Powell. State Food Ad-
ministrator Sproul will be able to ex.
ped!te the rationing Of sugar to ali
manufacturers using sugar. The plan
has been worked out In washington
win the greatest possible care anil
with the desire to disturb business
Just as little as possible conslstent
with the attainment of the conserva
ton of sugar which is thought neces-
sary in the country's interest.
In this plan of rationing manufac.
turers using sugar It is thought best
to ration in accordance with the
schedule submitted. both the manufac.
turers OF essential food products and
the manufacturers OF less essential
food products, except hotels, restaur-
ants boarding houses and public eat
lighthouses. whose products are sold
on the premises. and bakers and era cker
manufacturers engaged exclusively in
the manufacture of their products.
The object OF this whole scheme ana
plan is to the effect that sugar must
be conserved in order TO give all the
sugar necessary to manufacturers using
IT In conserving the fruits OF the COM
Ing harvest. and to stop abnormal In
creases in the manufacture particularly
OF confectionery and soft drinks.
In the auditorium Of the Chamber
OF Commerce at o'clock this after
noon will be held conference OF the
hotel and restaurant men of Richmond
to discuss problems now confronting
them. The meeting promises to be
both interesting and instructive, since
these men have shown splendid spirit
Of cooperation in the conservation OF
