Kollher, 024 First National Bank, Omaha, Neb, ' 68-0 The world today Is producing fortj per cent, less beet sugar than the pre war average. Counting tho American Allied nnc Germnn-AiiRtrlnn crops, ns well ns tin neutrals, tho U. S. Food Adinlulstra tlon has estimated that the worlc shortage created by the light crop ol 1017-1018 Is at least three and a halt million tons. That tho 1017-1018 crop of cane sug ar was two million tons In excess ol the previous year does not relieve thf general shortage. Cuba nnd Java produce one-half ol tho world cane crop, and tho Jnva sug ar Is too far removed from America tc transport when shipping Is bndly need cd to trnnsport nnd malntnln tho mill tnry forces In France. . In Jnvn n Inrgo part of the old sugai , crop Is still awaiting shipment. Since It requires 150 to 100 days for eacli boat that Is sent to Java, the posslblfl tics of obtaining adequate shipment of Java sugar this season are remote. Allies' Production Falls. Taking the Allied nations ns n group, ofllclnl reports show that beet sugai production Is less by one-third than th pre-war average. French beet sugar Industry, hns suf fered most by tho wnr. Tho French yield of beet sugar Is now only 20.1 per cent, of tho pre-war nvernge. For the flvo years pre'cedlng the out break of hostilities In Europe, France produced an average of 762,542 tons oi sugnr ench year. For 1017-18 the French production was 210,-110 tons. With 01 factories operating, ns" com pared with more than 200 that wcrq In existence before tho wnr nnd bofore the general campaign of destructive noss Inunchcd by tho German armies, France nevertheless managed to manu facture moro beet sugar In 1017-18 than In 1010-17, when tho total output was 202,115 tons. Itnly In 1017-18 produced 100,800 tonB of beet sugar, which was 00,000 tons less than tho previous year and 110,250 less than tho annual output of sugar for the flvo year pre-war pe riod. Ono of tho great difficulties experi enced In Itnly's beet sugar Industry was finding sufficient labor to hnndlo tho-crop. Thousands of men usually employed In beet sugar production were called for military service. The yield por ncro amounted to approxi mate)' half of tho usuul quantity of lieetn-hnrvostod. 4' W.
