American confectioncrs have been
putting 400,000 tons oi sugar a year
into candy. That amount of sugar
would all but supply the entire Eng-
lish demand at the present rate of
consumption. Recently :he administra-
tion has cut the candy makers down
to 200,000 tons a year. The money

- value of the sugar so caved is enough ,
to feed all of Belgium for one year.
5 in rentricting the candy makers the
administration was performing the
second part of Lts task—that of con-
trolling the distribution of food sup-
plies. ln its conservaticn work the
administration deal: directly with
producer and consumer. 0n the side
of control it deals with the manurho
tnrer and the wholesaler.
Food control is saving money for
the American household week by
week. in May, wheat was at $350 a
bushel and flour at $17.10. Congress
. brought wheat down to 82.20 for this Z
_ year‘s crop. and Hoover's organisa-
'l
. i
'. tion had reduced the price of flour to ‘ Toward Efficient Local Organisation. 1
$10.25. On every barrel of hour I
bought the purchaser has been on— :
ahled to save at least 38.85. An Amer- J
lea consumes ten million barrels of.
