SUGAR-NOTES.
The
Food Commission
of Switzerland
recently.
debated
the
q
estion
of
suwgar
supplies,
and agreed
not to overloaa
it-
self
with
l[arge
supplies
of
sugar
on
account
of
the
shifting
world
market.
It
was
decided,
however,
to
continue
the
rationing
of
sugar
the
first
few
months
of
the vear,
and
the Swiss
eat-
ers of
the
wholesome
food
in
question
were
notifie:
to that
effect.
The
com-
mission
made
an
addition
ot
10
cents
per kilogram
to the
price of sugar,
and
warned all consumers
that arise
in prices
might
be
expected
even
after
that
f
all
signs
did
not
fail
them.
Present
prices
of
sugar
are
not
quoted
in
this
latest
report,
but
these
have
largely
been
governed
by the

ior

what she
consumes.—

The
farmers
of
large estates
in
Ger-
many have
sent
a
memorial
to the
Ger-
man government
mixed with
bitterness
over
the fact that the
coal shortage
¢om-
pelled them
to iet the majority
of steam
plows
lie
idle
in
the
fall.
Instead
of
plowing 600,000
‘‘morgen’’ only 200,000
"‘morgen’’
were plowed
and
the
resuit
is that
in the spring they will be
handi-
capped from
getting
at
seeding.
Many
of these
plows have
to be
sent
into
re-
pairing
stations
and
they
cannot
even
bc
¢transported
by
their
own
traction
power.
The
address
to the
government
literally
begs
the
representatives
to
meet this tragic need.—Louisiana
Plant-
ter, March 6th.
The
German
people
are
very
much
concerned
about
the
provisioning
of
sugar
for East
and
West
Prussia.
As
these
two provinces
will rather
b
separ-
ated
with
the
new
re-arrangement
of
the political map,
they are
just wonder-
ing what
can be
done
to
facilitate
the
industry
in
these
parts.
East
Prussia
it is
believed will have to
depend entire-
ly
on
its
own
resources
and
she
has
three,
possibly
four,
factories
located
at
Altfelde,
Riesenburg,
Marienburg
and
Rastenburg.
The
latter
has
not
been
in operation for
a number
of years.
Some of
these
factories
are
dependent
on
beets
being
brought
in
from
a
dis-
tance
and
as the Polish
government
has
not yet
definitely decided
on what
con-
ditions
beets
can
cross
their
frontier
there
is considerabje
perplexity
in
the
matter.
Three of the factories
are
capa-
ble of producing
22,000,000 kilograms of
sugar
providing
all co
ditions are equal.
Bezts
and
coal
are
the two commodities
thata
e
lacking at
present.
