The food situation in Europe is re-

to release an additional 10000, 900
bushels Of wheat despite the fact that
the normal export surplus had been
shipped by the middle of December,
according to advices received by
Charles Hebberd. food administrator
for Washington.
The demand from the allies is so
insistent that the food administration
has decided to take chance on a
shortage in the spring to meet in part
their needs" says Mr.. Hebberd. If
consumption is not reduced food ad

SUGAR BEETS-EVERY FAMILY
CAN MAKE SYRUP

Next years backyard gardens are to
include sugar beets to make the syrup
for the hot cakes. A small plot will
supply family with syrup to take the
place Of the cane sugar that may be

Sugar beets require no more care or
equipment than any other vegetables,
and may be easily grown in any garden.
AS mature beet roots weigh from one
to two pounds each, only thirty or forty
will be needed to produce from three
to five quarts Of syrup. When served
as vegetable, sugar beels will take
the place Of other sugar in the meal,
being just as tender as garden beets
