buyers in these markets will pro-
baby receive about the same amount
of sugar each month. for the balance
Of this year, as was delivered to
them. say. in October. 1918.
In the West and South freer dis
tribution is possible as the beet
sugar interests should be able to dis
tribute by Jan. /. about 100000 tons
of sugar. In the fall of 1917 they
sold $4,000 tons Of new crop sugar
before Jan. 1, 1918. With larger
crop and without the interference
that was experienced in the winter
Of 1917. as a result Of the extremely
cold weather. a better record should
be made In 1918 only 100000 tons
were distributed before Jan. l.;
therefore, it will be seen that If the
1917 plan is followed out, consider
ably more beet sugar can be mark
eted this year than was sold a year
ago. A fairly free and equitable dis
tribution can be secured II each beet
factory will duplicate its sales OF
1917, and those buyers who secured
sugar in that period from a partic-
ular factory should now be able to
look to that same source Of supply
for a like amount. This will give
substantially the same result as
though the Beet Sugar Distributing
Committee in Chicago was still
functioning, as the 1917 distribution
was conducted under the commit
tees direction and the orders were
turned over to the factory In the best
position to furnish the sugar.
