Ell CONSUME DE AZUCAR
Es sorprendente Ell habido
ell aRo pasado en- los
Estados Unidos

En- el aTo que terminG 81 81 de
Diciembre de 1919, ell pueblo de los
Estados Unidos consumi6 mas azd-
q por cabeza que ningun otro pals
del murdo, excepto Australia, segdn
estadisticas que publica en- su ultimo
numero THE American Sugar Bulle-
~. editgdo por la American Su-
gar Refining Company" Los datos
que Sc tienen a Ia vista indican que
ha habido en- el ano pasado un consul
mo de 4.397,862 toneladas de azucar
en- brute, 10 cuaI equivale d 4.176,O6l
toneladas de azucar refinada, o sea,
Ia que Sc ha consumido. Esta Ultima
cantidad indica que ha hab!do un au-
mento de 726,343 toneladas sobre Ell
consume de 1918, que a la vez acu-
SO In exceso de 448,456 toneladas So
brc el consume de 1917.
"CaIculase que Ia cantidad antes
senalada es suficiente para proper
cionar a cada hombre, muier y nino
en- los Estados Unidos 81 y media IL
bras de az1car, o sea II libras mas
por cabeza, sobre el consume de 1918
" 7 libras sobre el de 1917.
'Ese aumerto en- ell consume pudo
hacerse Dor haber importado de Cuba
cast toda Ia cosecha de Ia isla, pues
$4,000 toneladas fueron traidas de
Cuba a los Estados Unidos, mas que
en- 1918.
Ell consume de cada betabel y
de cana de azucar americanos NOS
tro tambien IN marcado aumento.
Ell consume de betabel fue de-.
906, 557 toneladas, contra 527,6S9 en-
1918, Y contra 1884 toneladas en-
1917. De azucar de cana de los Esta-
dos Unidos el consume fue de 224 1905
toneladas, contra 527,6S9 en- 1918, V
contra 1854 toneladas en- 1917. De
azIcar de cana de los Estados Uni
dos el consume fue de 224,906 tone
ladas contra 165, 097 Y 266,797, res
pectivamentc. De azucar de betabe;
%cosechado en- los Estados Unidos Ell
consume fue de 4S7,3ls toneladas de
Ia cosecha 1916-1919, 10 cual indica
que Sc consumieron 331.339 toneladas
mas que en- el otono pasado.
La gran escasez de aZucsr en- los
Estados Unidos hacia Ia mitad del
aho pasado hizo que Sc buscssen &C.
tivsmente a~ustitutos en- otros paises

THE BEE BUSINESS.

The old-fashioned farmer who kept
one OF two hives OF bees along with
tbs rest OF his stock is no longer inter-
eFted In bees as a. side line. In the
iast year or TWO the bees have died Off
90 rapidly that bee culture in some
states has proved out OF the question
except for people who make a special
~ Of u and can give Il their full time
Tho state pee inspector of Ohio says:
The back lot beekeeper. the city and
suburban beekeepers. the farmers
who keep six or eight colonies. have
simply been forced out OF the busi-
nepu."
~ rather surprising to the aver
HGe reader to learn that bees are OF
enough economic Importance to have
a state inspector spending all his time
going around TO apiaries TO see that
the occupants are In good health, and
70 sdvfse the owners on their care.
There seems. however, to be a real
need for this sort OF Bee Public
Health Service. More than 500 pro-
fessional bee-keepers attended the an
nuai heid meet of the Ohio state Bee
Keepers Association.' and Ohio Is far
from being the only state where bee
culture has been taken up profession.
ally in the last few years.
It Is an age or specialization. And
nothing IN the way OF food production
81 seems. demands more careful at
tention than the turning out OF hon,
~ the busy little bee. But all tho at.
tntlan is justified. The busy bee i,

Measures of Boil WccviI Damage.

Popular opinion to the contrary, the
boil weetil must yield place to the
weather by a larger margin as a de
structive factor in reducing the pro-
duction OF cotton lint. 'DeSuuc1ion
by the boil wecvil is appreciably less
than that by deficient moisture alone
according to bureau of crop esti-
mates of the United States department
of agriculture. It's conclusions are
supported by annual Investigations
made by the bureau during the last
IL years.
During this period the normal. pro
duction of lint was reduced 35.5 per
cent by all causes of damage. The
boil weeVil, one of these, according to
the estimate, was responsible for 7.3
per cent or about one-fifth of the to-
tai damage TO the cotton crop for the
II years
The onset of the weevil in Georgia,
Florida, and Alabama in the years
l916-19l9 has made a reduction of
the crop in all states due to, this
cause alone 10.4 per cent below a
normal crop, while the reduction due
to all causes in these years is Ali
per cent.
Comparing deficient moisture with
all insect pests a cause of cotton
crop damage in pounds of lint that
failed TO be produced shows that in
the IL years deficient moisture caused
loss of 1872 pounds of lint per acre
on the average and all insect pests
29.3 pounds. In the total damage to
these 10 crops of cotton, amounting
to 1874 pounds of lint in the aver
age OF the years, all climatic causes
account for 71.6 pounds, or almost 2
IL times the loss due to all insects.
The average of the last five years
gives damage of 40.1 pounds to all
insects and 1873 pounds to all climatic
causes, or less than twice as much.
1t is indicated, that the boil weevil
costs tAe cotton crop approximately
100000 bales, one year with another,
since this pest has invaded Georgia
and Florida. If the production or
these 100000 bales had been realiz-
ed yearly instead of prevented during
the last four years, their value and
the value of their seed to the cotton
grower at the farm price Of lint and
seed on December [ would have aver
aged about $300,O0O,OOO per year.

suit. In the absence Of County Chair
man j. II. Clifton, who was called out
or town on business, Mr.. r. ID. Epp3
was elected chairman of the meeting.
The returns We're tabulated and the
result declared as shown in the table
printed elsewhere. The boxes and Of
hcial returns from Salem and Raft
ing Creek clubs were not received by
the committee and motion was made
and adopted that the result be declar-
ed without the returns from those
clubs, as ii was evident that the result
OF the election would not be affected
by the commission of the vote cast in
these clubs.
Checks for the payment Of manag-
ers were in readiness and were deliv-
cred to the executive men present. IF
the other executive committeeman will
call on Secretary and Treasurer II. c.
Osteen they will receive the pay
checks for the managers Of their re-
spective clubs.

Unsatisfactory methods Of distribu-
tion are recognized as serious factors
I'm excessive living costs. The Bureau
'of Labor and the Postoffice Depart
ment have devised a new plan for
bringing farm produce to the con-
sumner which is said to promise go ,d
results In lowering prices.
Under this plan the postofflee woul.i
collect and deliver foodstuffs much i,s
1t does mail now. but the process
would be simpler than the old parcel
post service with its call for approve !
wrappings and danger OF loss from
imperfect storage and refrigeratia,;
facilities. ..g @ N.Y. aa
The idea Is to map out suitable ag-
riculturai areas adjacent to important
centers OF population, the extent of
the area dependent upon the number
to be fed and the productivity Of the
land. Motor truck routes would then
be established by the postofiice which
would enable the farmers To market
their produce directly without requir-
Ing the services of middlemen. 1t Is
estimated that. for the. city of Wash
ington. ID. c.. the plan would result
in a retail saving of 10 to 27 per
cent. NFE .s. ..s :.
Producers and CONSUMERS should
welcome such an experiment In any
community.
