PLANTING DOESN’T NORMALLY START UNTIL APRIL 15TH. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET INTO THE SWING TO SUGAR BEETS. LAMBORN, FOREMOST AUTHOR­ ITY ON WORLD-SUGAR SUPPLY REPORTS: 1. Outlook for sugar is that serious shortages will continue for a long time. 2. The Philippines, for instance, which used to supply nearly a million tons a year, is not likely to ship any’sugar until 1947. 3. The U. S., is endeavoring to increase its domestic sugar-beet crop. Nearby Michi­ gan will increase its acreage from 69,000 in 1944 to probably 100,000 acres. ONTARIO’S PRACTICABLE GOAL IS AT LEAST 25,000 ACRES. THE PLANTS AT WALLACEBURG AND CHATHAM CAN PROCESS ALL THE BEETS GROWN ON 40,000 ACRES. c There is no chance of a surplus crop of sugar beets. The price is profitable. The-outlook for lab,or is proihising. In ad­ dition to regular beet labor, there are to be 550 or more prisoners of war in three or four handy camps.
