STATES SUGAR ALLOTMENT
CUT 100000 POUNDS
Further CurtaiIment Results
From Disappointment in
Years Crop

Georgia's sugar allotment for the
month of August has been reduced 5000
900 pounds, according to a statement
issued Saturday by Dr. Andrew NJ
Soule, federal food administrators for
Georgia, and in consequence further re-
strictions have been placed upon the
consumption of sugar throughout the
state.
The total abolition of sugar bowls
from tables in hotels, restaurants and
public eating places including board
ing houses, the reduction of household
sugar consumption to two pounds per
person per month, instead of three
pounds and the restriction of manufac-
turers to so per cent of their consump-
ton of sugar on a basis of one year
ago, are ordered by the food admins
tration to relieve the situation and pre-
vent unequal distribution.
The total allotment of sugar for
Georgia during August is $4,000
pounds, the reduction being due to dis
appointing results in the production of
sugar in the Philippines, Cuba and
Louisiana
DR.. SoIle's order, promulgated in &C
cordance with the scale worked out in
Washington, d. c., is as follows:
"A further reduction of approximately
so per cent in the distribution of sugar
to consumers is necessary, beginning
with the close of July. 1t is, therefore
Ordered: That at and after midnight
July 31st, the household consumption
of sugar be limited TO basis of two
pounds per person per month for each
har in ia domestic
employed: that all public eating places
be limited to a basis of two pounds OF
sugar Tor each so meals served; that
all boarding houses serving % or more
persons be limited to the same basis
and under the same heading as public
eating places that all manufacturers,
heretofore defined as soft drink deal
ers and dispensers, candy makers con-
PETITIONERS, etc, be strictly held to con-
sumption of not more than SO per cent
of last years computed consumption.
"Ordered further: That dining cars,
cafes, restaurants, public dining rooms,
etc, remove sugar bowls from all pub
lie tables and, effective at once, serve
no more than two half-lumps (not IL
lumps) of sugar or one teaSpoonful Of
granulated sugar to each one patron at
one meal
Certificates issued for the month of
held strictly to allotment figures and
resupply excuses will be held available
for call for redistribution purposes
where interim certificates have been is
sued
"The net allotment for Georgia for
August can not be exceeded. 1t is,
therefore, of particular Importance that
retail dealers handling sugar under the
administrators regulations lend them
selves unreservedly to obtaining proper
compliance on the part of individual
consumers with those regulations pre-
pared for their protection. 1t is the
home consumption supply which is
sought to be safeguarded by the food
administration, and the more. complete
the patriotic cooperation of the indl-
vidual that much more successful will
be the efforts of the food adminiStra-
ton in his behalf.
1.-THE conservation division of the
United States food administration es-
pecially urges the saving of the fruit
and vegetable crops by canning ans
preserving now for winter uses but es-
pecially calls upon home Gamers and
preservers to effect this conservation
without the use of sugar wherever pos
sibie. In numerous experiments 1t mas
been found that sugar substitutes may
be successfully used and in others that
the conservation work may be carries
forward now without the use of sugar
and the sugar added later, when the
supply is more plentiful
1.-The foregoing in it's entirety is APP
plicable to the fourth zone and puollca-
ton hereof is to be taken by all parties
concerned as official notice.
