Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 214, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1918 — DEMAND FOR HONEY [ARTICLE]

DEMAND FOR HONEY

The present honey crop of the United States barely exceeds 250,000,000 pounds. That the country produces even this much is unknown to most people, it is stated; for while honey was the chief form of sugar used in ancient times, the ease of getting cane or bqet sugar has placed honey in the background. Now that our sugar supply is reduced by reason of supplying the allies with part of the sugar they need, the demand for honey has' increased net. only domestically but also for export.
