When — Many Canadians Are Asking This Question There is much difference of opinion on this point. “cut,” ’ ' ’ Othex* authorities make sugar rationing before 1945. without a cut. No matter which expert is most accurate, thev all agree on one thing—SUGAR. IS SCARCE AND WILL BE FOR A LONG TIME TO COME! Well, then, why doesn’t Canada produce all the sugar possible in 1944? Some experts shun the word but say there can be no increase in sugar rationing for years to come, mention of “increase,” but do not expect a cut in the Still othex* experts say we may not get'through 1944? no WORLD SUGAR SHORTAGE ACUTE, OTTAWA WARNED said today.

The Mani­ toba producers also—possibly thirty million pounds. Even Quebec, though the new St. Hilare factory has not yet been completed, is going “all out” to grow as many sugar beets as the new plant can take. “WELL, WHAT ABOUT ONTARIO?” you ask. The two Ontario sugar factories at Chatham and Wallaceburg can process the sugar beets from 40,000 to 45,000 acres of land. The two refineries, among the largest in the world in size, are capable each season of processing ap­ proximately one hundred million pounds of refined sugar. THEY DID IT IN 1940! But they cannot do anything without the raw material—sugar beets! Only sufficient acreage is now under contract to produce one-third the beets required. BECAUSE ONTARIO FARMERS ARE SHORT OF HELP. The beet farmers especially are asking for farm help—for prisoners of war—for soldiers from the Draft Army—for ANY help they can get—to produce more sugar beets and other essential crops. And if they don’t get the help, we don’t get the sugar! So far only three hundred prisoners of war are arranged for—only a fraction of the help required. This is the problem—and the answer must come soon to be of any use—for sugar beet seed is planted during the next few weeks— or not at all! And unless the farmers are sure of their farm help, they will not plant the seed. SO-NOT ENOUGH FARM HELP NOT ENOUGH SUGAR BEETS NOT ENOUGH SUGAR TO GO AROUND!
