Allied Beet Production Fell* One-third In Rigid War Economy Practiced. VER 75 per cent, of the sugar used in the United States is delivered by ships. There is produced O about 800,000 tons of bet t tugar and 250,000 tons of cane sugar in Louisiana. The total consumption of the United States is about 4,500,000 tons of raw sugar, which makes about 4,250,000 tons of refined sugar. If our coasts were 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 this limited supply without complaint. The United States Food Administration is asking every American household to use not more than two pounds of sugar per person each month for domestic use. Reducing our sugar consumption h^rc means that we will be able to help supply the needs of France, Eng land and Italy. Sugar conservation on the American table also means conservation of ships. The Army and Navy have sent out an "S. O. S.’* call for ships. "Save Our Ships to Transport Troops and Munitions to France, in order that we may keep the fight ing front where it now is and not allow it to extend to* our own homes,” is the message. There is ample sugar in the world for all require ment»—in fact, there is a large surplus, but on account of the ship shortage it is not available for use in thia country.
