egTHhe sugar shortage has placed
! candy on trial before the bar OF
public opinion" said r P. Mosson,
general manager OF the Crombie
Candy company.
Candy is accused OF being the thief
that has robbed the national sugar
barrel and Is charged with being re-
sponsibls for the acute sugar short
age.
The public IS prone TO arrive at
quick conclusions without first care
fully cinsidering the facts.
'-The facts are that while sugar is
the chief basic raw material used by
candy manufacturer, there are many
other kinds OF raw materials used in
large quantities, such as chocolate,
molaEses, fruits, nuts, corn syrup,
starch and various other food prod
ucts.
various kinds OF candy average
inlv so percent sugar and many kinds
contain much less than that amount
Candy, being composed Of these va
rious kinds Of raw materials, Is very
high in food value.

and from to 10 feet deep. There are
several breaks in the reclamation SER
vice canal, and number of ranches

of the most damaged. There are ID
acres from which the surface sol -Tas
swept away, and the entire crop lost.
Several acres on the P. w. Armstrong
ranch are said to have been swept
away. Young trees were torn out ny
the roots and carried off, and con-
siderable amount of stock went down
in the muddy water.
