Sugar sources like Cuban beet and Louisiana cane will aid inventories as Octobers beet sugar arrives and by mid November more cane crop becomes available. The effort aims to prevent further reductions in the Allied sugar quota amid low domestic stocks. Households should conserve fruit crops and use little sugar until the supply improves.

Saving Sugar Saves Shipping
American families would have less sugar than the people of war torn France if we relied on home grown stocks. About 75 percent of our sugar is shipped to our shores and annual production is about one million tons while imports exceed three million tons in normal times. The United States Food Administration asks families to limit household sugar to two pounds per person per month. The military needs ships, so sugar saving frees shipping for the Army or Navy.
