France must Import sugar today,
most of It from this Bide of the ocean,
because the largest portion of French
sugar beet land Is In German hands.
As a result, the French people have
been placed on a sugar ration of about
18 pounds a year for domestic use;
a pound nnd a half a month. This
photograph rhowa how the German
troops destroyed French sugar mills.
Thanks to the French rationing sys
tem the annual consumptlbn has been
cut to 600,000 tons, according to re
ports reaching the United States Food
Administration, Before the war France
had an average sugar crop of about
750,000 tons of sugar aud had some
left over for export
CONTROL HESSIAN FLY, SAYS
STATE OOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY
Atlanta, Ga., August.—(Special.)—
"Plant wheat, but do not let the Hes
sian Fly, eat It up," sa, T s the Geor-
gla State Board of Entomology.
Food crops are more important than
ever, and every effort should be made
to get each acre to produce as much
as possible, and not let 10 to 20 per
cent be destroyed by insects and plant
diseases.
The Hessian Fly, sayB the State
Board of Entomology, Is one of the
most destructive insects Georgia wheat
growers have to contend with. This
insect has been known to destroy from'
10 to 75 per cent of a wheat field. This
damage may be avoided without jgreat
sxpense; hence the board urges upon
all who are going to plant wheat this
fall, that they follow the suggestions
given herewith:
The State Board of Entomology has
worked out the life history of the Hes
sian Fly, and made sowing experi
ments covering three years. There
are two broods of the Hessian Fly
each year. The spring brood emerges
between February 21 and March 23.
The fall brood emerges between Sep
tember 28 and October 30. Hessian
Flies were found flying in a field at
Ringgold, Ga., on October 23.
Date of Sowing.
The following valuable information
In avoiding the Hessian Fly was de
rived from sowing tests made as stat
ed: Wheat sown September 28 at Ring-
gold showed 94.4 per cent of plants
infested on December 9. Wheat sown
al Ringgold October 21 showed less
than 1 per cent infested on Decem
ber 9.
Wheat sown at Adalrsvllle the same
year on October 2 showed 89.8 per
cent Infested on December 12; while
wheat sown at the same place Octo
ber 19 showed less than 1 per cent
of Infestation on December 12.
Wheat sown at Pomona, Ga„ on Oc
tober 5, showed 25 per cent of the
stalks infested on December 11. Wheat
sown October 24 at Pomona showed
no infestation at all on December 12.
From these tests and others cov
ering different years, it may be con
cluded that, as a rule, wheat sown
in North Georgia from October 20 to
October 30 will escape damage from
the Hessian Fly. In the southern part
of the state, the date for sowing
should be probably about seven to
ten days later. The proper time for
sowing will vary with the season.
As a general rule wheat sown Just
after the first 'killing frost will es
cape serious damage from the Hessian
Fly, provided that all of the volunteer
wheat is destroyed in the fall before
the flies emerge, or not later than
September 1.
Summary
To summarize, in order to avoid
damage from the Hessian Fly, we
would recommend:
1st. Plant late, October 20th to Oc
tober 30th.
2nd. Burn the stubble of infested
fields, soon after the wheat is cut.
3rd. Plow under all volunteer
wheat not later than September 1.
4th. Practice rotation of crops.
5th. Plant good seed on land well
prepared and properly fertilized.

045. Books circulated by the Y. M.

clubs formed among the men were
649. Physical activities when figured
in statistics amounted to an amazing
amount. It is estimated 3,683,350 par
ticipated in the various physical ac
tivities such as baseball, track and field
meets, baseball, etc.
The spectators, the majority of them
soldiers, at these physical activities,'
Are estimated for the year at 6,646,-

Stocks Will Ee Short Until Beginning of New
Year—Ration May Ee Enlarged Then.
Two pounds of sugar n month half
a pound u week—that Is the sugar ra
tion the U. S. Food Administration
tins nsked every American to observe
until January 1, lid9, in order to make
sure there shall be enough for out
Army and Navy, for the Allied armies
and for the civilians of those- nations.
By New Year's the world sugar sit
uation will he relieved somewhat by
the new crop. Cuban sugar of this
year's crop will be arriving In Uds
country.
Every available sugnr source will be
drawn on by the Food Administration
during the next winter months to main
tain sufficient stocks here to keep up
our nallonul sugar supply. During Oc
tober the first American beet sugar
will arrive In the markets. By the
middle of November some of our Lou
isiana cane crop will be available. All
of this sugar nnd more may be needed
to keep this nation supplied on a re
duced ration and to safeguard the Al
lied sugar ration from still funhe;-
reduction. In Europe the present ra
tion Is already reduced to a minimum.
Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces In Its efforts to mulntnln
a fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world Is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at a low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stock* in Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have Increased as well as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar linve hud
their allotment reduced by one-half;
some will receive uo sugnr.
Households should make every ef
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugnr, or with small amounts of sugar.
Later, when the sugar supply Is larg
er, the canned fruit may be sweetened
as it Is used.

What is a Branch
House?
The Branch House is the place in
the packing organization where what
the packing plant does for you is put
where you can use it
Both are the natural result of
growth and development in the living
thing they belong to.
Swift & Company Branch Houses
are located in distributing centers all
over the country. They are fitted
out with refrigerating equipment to
keep meat cool, sweet and fresh.
Each one is in personal charge of a
man who believes in what Swift &
Company is doing for people and
wants to help do it
They are directed by men who
have spent years learning how to get
better meat cheaper to the places
where it is needed.
Meat is shipped to the branch
houses direct from the packing plants
in Swift & Company’s refrigerator
cars, in such quantities that it can be
disposed of while fresh and sweet
Your meat dealer comes here to
buy your meat for you—unless some
one else can treat him better then
we can.
So you need the branch house in
order to live well; and the branch
house and the packing plant need
each other,in order to be useful to you.
