SUGAR CONTROL

to Seventy Per Cent. Of Normal.

Sugar control has saved the Amer
lean public $1S0,0O0,0 O0, Herbert Hoov-
err, United States food administrator.
declared the other day.
He pointed out that sugar was sell
ing for IL cents a pound last August
and that 1t would nave advanced to 20
cents a pound. with the world short
age as a stimulus, had o the food
administration secured the eo-Opera-
ton of the rehners and wholesalers
and fixed a sugar price that today en-
ables housewives to buy sugar at from
8h to 8 cents a pound.
Every / cent raise in sugar from
September / to January l means $751;
100000 to the American consumer"
Mr.. Hoover said. Numbers of gen
tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar
would have prevailed and the public
robbed of $3.50, 100000 this year II we
had not taken these actions" Later
Mr.. Hoover called attention TO the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
35 cents a pound during the Civil War.
France Got our sugar.
Today the American public has been
allotted 20 per cent Of its normal sup
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
So pounds a person. In England the
annual consumption during the war is
"a pounds, and in France each person
is allotted a little over one pound a
month.
"In August the French government
found itself unable to maintain even
this ration" Mr.. Hoover declared.
IAN appeal was made to America.
France needed 100000 tons. We
agreed to fill this demand and up t.
December had shipped S5.426 tons. In
the meantime an appeal was made to
the American public to reduce its sug-
ar consumption, and requests were
made to distributors TO supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
with so per cent. of normal supply.
This has been generally followed, al
though such regulations were volun-
tary. as the food administration had
no authority to impose them"
Domestic Price Is sR to 9 Cents.
Retail grocers throughout the coun-
try are supposed to take a profit of no
more than so cents a hundred-half a
cent a pound-on sugar. BY reason OF
food administration regulations, bind
ing retiners and wholesalers, the re-
taller is able today TO buy sugar at
from s to Sz cents a pound. This
enables him TO sell TO the housewife at
81 TO 8 cents a pound.
There have been some violations of
the sugar rulings. Mr.. Hoover said
recently "Sales of sugar from 16 to
20 cents per pound have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop

Why Shortage Exists.

The three great sugar producing cen
tiers of the world are Germany. the
West and East Indies. German sugar
is. of course, used at home. The East
Indian sugar Is unavailable because OF
the ship shortage.
While u boats made big inrOads on
the worlds shipping, France and Italy
ceased to be self sustaining ii sugar
manufacture. England in the maan-
time was cut off from German sugar
1.4O0,O00 tons a year-because of The
war. The result has been that the al
lied nations have been forced 10 turn
to America and the West Indies for
their sugar.

HARVEST NATURAL ICE.
Every Ton Gathered Will Help
Save Ammonia for Fertilizers
and Explosives.

. e
Farmers and others who harvest
natural ice this winter and store il
for summer use will aid greatly in
the conservation of ammonia, vital
~ important at this time. it is point
ed out by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Ammonia is a necessity in the
manufacture of ice. Every ton Of
natural ice harvested means a Ger
tain amount of ammonia saved Am
mOnia salts are regarded as an es-
sential in the manufacture of GER
tain fertilizers, and the cost of fer
tilizers is dependent TO some extent
on the market value of ammonia
OF extreme significance at this time
however. is the fact that the most
important chemicals used in max
ing ammonium nitrate and other
explosives are readily made from
ammonia, and every quart of Ameri-
cas- already small supply of this
substance that can be saved means
more power TO Americas armies
Thus the farmer is interested in
the conservation of ammonia not
only from a national standpoint but
because of his personal interests
Ammonia saved through harvesting
of natural ice means more ammon-
ia for fertilizers and more ammonia
for ammunition. The man who
harvests ice now and stores it in pits
or ice houses may have the salts
faction next summer of helping out
his neighbor who depended on al
ice plant

Study of the new bacterial dis

where it is now certain that the dis
ease may be transmitted on the
seed, according to a report of pro-
gress recently issued by the United
States department OF agriculture.

the problem in cooperation with the
experiment stations of Kansas and
Wisconsin. Ii is of the utmost i'm
portance, the federal specialists say,
to know speedily the extent to which
this disease has gained a fOOthOld
in the United States and TO restrict
its spread in every possible way.
Wheat kernels that are plump do
not contain bacterial cavities. but
shriveled ones often do. Consequent
ly il is observed that screening out
the shriveled grains before planting
will remove one cause of spreading
the disease, and farmers are urged
during the planting season this
spring to take this precautiOn.

in the interior of such wheat grains
are very common.
The more conspicuous signs OF the
disease are brown stripes on leaves,

stems. especially the upper parts
and often on all sides SO that the

Savings bank officers give various explanations of the
sudden increase in deposits. Some ascribe it the re-
lease OF boarded to turning into bank of
gold and silver and bank notes hidden away persons
