IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre- War Average-Cen-
tral Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.
n. .
The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
‘ war average.
Counting the American. Allied and
German-Austrian crops, up well as the
neutrals. the U. S. Food Administra-
tion has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
1917-1018 is at least three and a half
million “tons. '
That the 1017-1918 crop of cone sug-
ar was two million tons in excess of
the previous your does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-halt oi
the world cnne crop. and the Java sug-
nr is too far removed from Atticrlt'u to
transport when shipping is badly need-
ed to transport and maintain the tnili- ‘
bury forces in l‘lhflnce
In J ova a large part of the old sugar
app is still awaiting shipment Since
it requires 150 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java. the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of .111an sugar this season are remote.
-. Ailiee' Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as a group,
official reports show that best sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pro-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the wan: The French
yield of beet su at is now only 291
per cent. of the rc‘wa-r eveasge.

OVER 75 per cent of the sugar used in the United
' States is delivered by ships.
There is produced
about 800, 000 tons of beet sugar and 250, 000 tons of
cane sugar in Louisiana.
The total consumption of the
United States is about 4 H500 000 tons of raw sugar, which
makes about 4, 250, 000 tons of refined sugar.
' If our coasts were blockaded as Germany’ 3 now are,
we would have available for the use of the people of the
United States only one pound of sugar for every four we
use. Under such circumstances there' is no doubt that the
American people would get along on this limited supply
without complaint.
The United States Food Administration is asking
every American household to use not more than tvao,
pounds of sugar per person each month for domestic
