SUGAR RATION IS
CUT TO 2 POUNDS
Food Administrtirn Asks
People to Use Less Sugar
and States Large Quantity
Lost in U-Boat Sinkings.

The American public was asked by
the food administration Thursday
to go on sugar ration of two pounds
per capita monthly beginning Au-
gust /, to meet a world shortage and
to care for the immediate demands
of the military forces. The Ameri-
can public at present is on three
monthly.
Household rationing will be volun-
tary as at the present, but public
eating places will be requested to OBJ
serve new regulations affective Au-
gust l, permitting the use of two.
pounds of sugar for every 80 meals
served.
Unless the consumption of sugar is
reduced both by householders and
the public generally, the food adminf-
stration warns, supplies for Belgium,
the Red Cross, Y NJ c. A., Knights
of Columbus, Salvation Army, and
other organizations working for the
welfare, of the American military
forces in Europe cannot be main
tanned.
The sugar situation confronting
the United States is described by the
food administration as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the
country, in homes, stores, factories
and bakeries, are at low ebb; pro-
duction from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops has been dis
appointing; the yield in Porto Rico.
has likewise been smalles than anti
cipated, and the inability of the
United States and the allies to secure
sugar from Java and other distant
sources on account of the imperative
call for ships for the movement of
troops and their supplies has meteri-
ally reduced the supply from such
quarters.
Added to this already difficult sit
uation, the quantity needed by the
army and navy greatly exceeds
earlier estimates, we must send
large amount to France and Italy to
take the place of the great volume
lost through the German and Aust
rian invasions, during which much
beet land was overrun and many fac
tories destroyed; we have to supply
certain quantities to neutral nations
under agreements, and finally over
SO, 10000 pounds were lost recently
through submarine sinkings off our
Atlantic coast
In asking the public voluntarily to
reduce their consumption to level
more nearly equal to the compulsory
restrictions in effect in France, Eng
land and Italy. the statement says
that while sugar is often used as a
luxury in America, it has become an

rope"
Upon our action here, the state
ment continues. depends the posi-
bility of maintaining the ration to
our own fighting men and those of
the allies as well as of avoiding a
still further reduction of the allot-
ments to the civil populations of the
nations fighting Germany. which are
already down to point far under
their normal needs.
To assure equitable distribution Of
the sugar the American public is to
be allowed, the food administration
has worked out scheme of alloca-
tion to the states based on popula-
tion and the needs of sugar-using
industries in the states Each state
food administrator will have charge
Of the distribution In his state.

This accomplishment would have been
impossi BILE except for the voluntary
cooperation Of the people and food
trades OF this country,
With the continued stress Of I'M
precedented warfar abroad and with
the rapidly increasing numbers of our
troops over there, the problem Of feed
ing both our allies and our own army
and navy becomes more and more
acute This will require the contin-
ued loyalty of the American people in
following the requests which the food
administration may make from time
to time until next harvest. The cry
OF suffering France will be for wheat!
wheat, and more wheat. We should
remember we are sitting at COM
mon table with the allies and that as
there is not enough to go around it is
good manners to take a smaller por-
ton. We have the balance of food,
the allies have the present balance of
fighting strength. Food is fuel for
fighters. That which we have and
they need does not belong to us, but
to than and our own troops abroad.
The food administration, with the as
sstance of such sterling citizens as
John F. Deems, federal food admin
istrator for Iowa backed by this Won
1erfullv resourceful country Of ours,
intends to sec that they get it. Let US
give unto them our daily bread

Church organisa&1sns and other ~

the brewers, to the surprise OF the no

They argued that tho cabaret was .

In favor Of a saloonless city. Then
after series of hearings before an

passed the ordinance.
At one hotel where ice skating and
dancing marked the entertainment, the
proprietor abolished tho elaborate show

The owner Of one Of the largest

liquor and entertainment, promptly de-

order stands, the food administration
declares, tho 1t may imply bankruptcy
for those who can not make profit
on so per cent Of their normal sugar

The fact Of the matter Is that until

there will not be enough sugar to go

rigid conservation must be practiced
not only by the ordinary consumer but
by the manufacturer of any commodity
of which sugar Is an ingredient. The
federal food administration has urged

make exceptions in any cases. AS long

| Burlington May 6.-The people OF
Iowa will have all the ice cream they
want to eat this year. Food Admin
istrator Deems in announcing the new
rules restricting the use of sugar by
confectioners, makes it sure that ice
cream manufacturers are included in
the important dairy industry.
Were we to restrict the manufacture
of ice cream" says Administrator
Deems, 1--WE would Immediately work
serious hardship upon our all-important
dairy industry.
There is at present a surplus of
fluid milk. which must be consumed and
were we to add to this supply by can
ceiling an important market for dairy
produce the result would be serious
owing to the shortage of available
shipping facilities. condensaries thru
out the country are now taxing their
storage capacity to the maximum.
Thus, it is evident that the conden-
saries could not replace the ice cream
manufacturers as market for mud
milk should the manufacture OF ice
cream be interfered with.
The condition that applies TO the
condensaries is also in a large meas
ure true with the manufacturers of
butter.
1T must at all times be remembered
that ice cream is a food and not nom
essential
Manufacturers OF candy, soft drinks
and other corrections will be required
to buy sugar on schedule and make
regular reports of purchases and sup
ply or sugar on hand, and will not he

| After careful consideration of the
numerous claims from manufacturers
of less essential products, it has been
determined that no exceptions will be
made to permit of a normal use of
sugar Manufacturers have been adj
vised that they must not expect pro-
lection for their business or property

gratitude for the spirit of understand
ing and Willingness to practice self
denial which the families and trades
Of this great ,state are ememplifying
in innumerable voluntary activities to
conserve food for thoe who are f gi1t-

work still to be done in Iowa to make
the people as a whole realize the grave
necessity of food conservation in order
that the ever-increasing needs of our
allies and our own army and navy
are to be satisfied, and the food ad-
ministration is confident that this work
will be done with loyalty and eItlcl-
ency, A message of announcement is

favorable weather conditions develop.
this will be one Of this country's ban
ner wheat years. according to the fore
cast Of the Chamber Of Commerce Of
the United States.
A possible CSC, 600, 900 bushels Of win
ter wheat, the greatest crop since the
record breaking yield of 1915, together
with probable increase of 15 per cent
in the acreage of spring wheat, Is the
prospect set down in report on the
condition of winter wheat issued yes
terday by the chambers committee on
statistics and standards.
THE present acreage now standing
in winter wheat" the report says, "is
20 per cent greater than the acreage
at the same time In 1917. But the
greatest promise of high yield of
winter wheat is found in the general
high condition Of wheat, a condition
which has improved steadily since the
first of April.
Estimates OF coming yields are al
ways uncertain because of the possible
vicissitudes Of weather and depreda-
lions of insect enemies. But the crop
has come thru the trying month OF
March with a higher condition than
it entered 1t, and with moderately fav-
orable weather from now on there Is
promised a production Of at least 6o0,-
900 900 bushels. 1t may go as high
as $50, 900 bushels If all goes well"
On the subject of spring wheat, the
report says:
''There is little to be said Of spring
wheat, but that little is most encour-
aging. Seeding is nearly completed and
under most favorable conditions. One
Of the most important Of which is the
large amount Of moisture in the sub
soil. The outlook is for an increased
acreage Of about 1 5 per cent over last
year. The increase is so large in Iowa,
Wisconsin, and Nebraska, that it reads
like the operations of an adding ma
chine. Where the plant is up the con-
dition is excellent"
The report says with reference to
winter wheat that "the striking i'm
provement in the condition of the grow
ing crop is general save the usual ex-
ceptions here and there which for
tunately fail to affect the general total"
