The U S Food Administration urges a two pounds per month per person sugar ration through January 1 1919 to ensure supplies for the Army Navy Allies and civilians. Sugar sources including Cuban beet and Louisiana cane will enter the market as stockpiles shrink and shipping limits persist. Households should conserve fruit crops and use little or no sugar until the supply improves.
Wartime notes show France importing most sugar from outside as German forces seized beet land. French rationing limits domestic use to about 18 pounds per person annually, with annual consumption dropped to 600000 tons from 750000 tons before the war.
AMERICAN families would have less sugar than the people of war torn France if we depended entirely on home grown sugar stocks. Approximately 75 percent of our sugar is shipped to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons a year and imports exceed 3,000,000 tons in normal times. The United States Food Administration asks families to limit sugar to two pounds per month per person. The military need requires that every ship be used for Army or Navy. When we save sugar, we save shipping.
