TJ3E LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1919 U. S. Equalizatidn Board Gives Reasons for Sugar Shortage; Beet Crop May Help Announcement from the United States sugar equalization board tells the reasons for the present sugar shortage and gives all the informa- tion obtainable as to how the situa- ion can be relieved. The report reads: "Figures just compiled show that during the first nine months of the current year approximately 500,000 tons or more sugar was delivered to the domestic trade than was deliver- ed during the corresponding period in 1918. Notwithstanding this 18 per cent increase in distribution, as com- pared with a normal average in- crease in consumption of about 4 ner cent, the talk of "a 'shoring-."" per- sists. These npurcR, hown-fr, are a clear indication of the extra- ordinary consumption of smrar that bus taken place, and the fact must be recognized that directly or in- directly the American people have great1}' increased their use of sugar. One angle of this is shown in the heavy increased sale of candy, soft drinks, ice cream, etc., which in some sections for the next three months must be curtailed. "The west should secure immediate relief from the harvesting of an aver- age domestic beet crop which, with- in a week, will be in full swing. Ad- ditional supplies will be forthcoming from Louisiana after November 1, and while this crop is disappointing, amounting to only 100,000 tons, it will serve to supply the southern territory until the 'new crop of West Indian sugar is available next January. The eastern territory for the balance of the year is dependent upon the re- maining old crop of Cuban supplies; therefore, conservation will have to be practiced, and to meet this condi- tion a distributing committee, with Mr. Frank C. Lowry as chairman, lias been appointed at the request of Mr. George A. Zabriskie, president of the ! United States sugar equalization board, to supervise an.; uiieet the! distribution of all refined sng:»r by the eastern refiners. â- â- h: \9l? end 1918 the ea>teni cane) refiners withdrew from the territory* west of Pittsburgh and iJutfalo on I October 1 and the middle west was j supplied entirely by beet sugar. This year the eastern refiners took the J same step on October 15, and after j that date and until the new year,' west of Pittsburgh and Buffalo and north of the Ohio rivers must be supplied entir'edy by the domestic beet sugar producers. After Nov. l'the Louisiana interests will be able to take care of the territory south of and including North Carolina, a part of Kentucky and the southern part of Arkansas, just as they did a year ago after October. 24 While the committee in charge of distributing the remaining eastern cane sugar has not yet had time to complete its plans, roughly the sit- uation appears to be that, for the remainder of this year, about the same quantity of cane sugar will be available for October, November and December distribution to the trade in the territory to be covered, as was distributed in August, September and October, 1918. In other words, buy- ers in these markets will'probably receive about the same amount of sugar each month, for the balance of this year, as was delivered to them, say, in October, 1918. "In the west and south treer distri- bution is possible, as the beet silver interests should be aid,.- to di.trii i'< bv January 1 400,00;) tons of '-'vrar. in the fall of" 1917 they ,<.",1 e";lbC0 ;om. of new crop sta.rar bet." re ja"aa"v 1 1918.

A fairly free and equitable distribution can be se- cured if each beet factory will dup- licate its sales of 1917, and those buy- ers who secured sugar in that period from a particular factory should now be able to look to that same source of supply for a like amount. . This will give substantially the same re- sults as though the beet sugar dist- ribution committee in Chicago was still functioning, as the 1917 distri- bution was conducted under the committee's direction and the orders were turned over to the factory in the best position to furnish th« sugar."
