Sugar of some kind Is found in the sap of every living plant. Na- ture stores more sugar in the sug- ar beet and the sugar cane than in other plants, and for that reason they have become the chief sources of the worlds sugar supply
 Sugar is formed in plants through a process of photosynthesis, which is Illustrated In the case of the sug- ar beet in the accompanying picto- gram. Tn this process, carbon diox- ide from the air and water from the soily are combined within the plant through the agency of green pigment known as chlorophyl, in the presence of light. For that req son sugar is often called crystal hzed sunshine and water" The sug- ar which is manufactured within the green parts of the sugar beet Ia used principally for growth dur ing the early part of the beets life. but later in the season most cf the sugar Is carried to the roaot, where 1t Q stored.

To the scientist sugar Is "su- crose," and in it's pure form even chemists cannot tell whether it came from the sugar beet or the sugar cane. Sugar from beets is identical with sugar from cane in appearance, sweetness, quality, and food value, and they may be used interchangeahly for all purposes.
 In 1922, according to estimates of the Office of Price Administra- tion, which directs the sugar ra- tioning program, beet sugar will be the most important single source of our national sugar supply. With in 8 few weeks farmers of nineteen states will begin the harvest of more, than one million acres of sug- ar beets. The crop is expected to produce approximately two million tons of sugar, enough to give a weekly ration of eight ounces for one year to every person in the United States. It is expected to be the largest crop in history.
