In the U. 8. Food Administration's cafeteria ‘at Washingtoti, where employees of the Food Administration take their noon meal, one pound of sugar is used for evety 120 meals served, | "The U.

The Gugar supplies throughout the country, in homes, stores, factories and bakerles, are at low ebb; the. produc- tion from the American beet andy Louisiana cane crops: have been disap- || pointing; the yield: in Borto’ Rico has ilkewise been emailer than -anticipat- ed, and the ‘inability of the United States and the Allies to secure sugar from Java ang other distant sources on account of the imperative call for thipe for the movement of troops and their supplies has materially reduced the supply from such quarters. Added to this already difficult situation, the quantity needed by the Army and | Navy greatly excceds earlier: esti- | mates; ‘we must senda latge amount to France and Italy to take the place | | of the great volume lost through the German and Austrian invasions, dur- Ing which much beet land-was over. | run and many factories destroyed; we have to supply certain quantities to neutral nations under agreements; and | | finally “over fifty million pounds were |-| lost recently through submarine sink. | Ings off our Atlantic coast.

The French weld of beet sugar is now only 29,1 per_cent. of the’pre-war average, For the five years preceding the out-! break of hostilities in Europe, France sugar each year, For) 1 Frefich production was 219,416 tons, With 61 factories operating, as com- pgred with more than 200 that were. in exfstence before the war and before the general campaign of destructive- ness launched by the German armies, France nevertheless nfinaged to manu; facture more. beet)sugar~in 1917-18 Was 202,415 tons.

Thousands of men usually employed in beet sugar production ) were Called for milltary service. The yleld per acre’ amounted tq approxi- biately half of the usual quantity of, beetaharvested, , Sosy ‘ Ove 15 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‘Lonfsiana. The: total consumption of the / United States is, about 4,500,000 tons.of raw sugar, which makes about 4,250,090 tons of refined sugar. If our.eosstsere blockaded:as Germany’s 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 thjs limited supply without complaint: ; : ws 1 ‘The, United Stdtes Food Adnijiistration is asking every American household to use -not more than two pofinds. of sugar. per. person each* rgonth for domestic use. Reducing our. sugar. consumption here means that we will be able to help.supply. the needs of France, Eng- land and Italy.
