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.
