SUGAR HARVEST

Yield of 100,000 Tons to Set 5-Year Record. in

Everglades.

CLEWISTON, Fla., Dec. 8 (U. P.). —The nation’s largest raw sugar mill reached 'a capacity output of almost 1000 pounds a minute today as 4000 singing Negroes harvested the war-rationed crop in the Florida everglades. From- the 30,000 acres of cane, ypc cultivation in the rich muck,

soil surrounding the‘southern banks

ing the next six months, Mali together with sugar proced in other sections of the; nited States, must partially supy the needs. of a nation whose ports have been. curtailed by the war. Before Pearl Harbor, the United States debended upon Cuba, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Philippines for more than two-thirds of its total consumption. Years ago the United States Sugar Corp., which operates 12 plantations in Florida, was destroying acres of the now precious cane. The federal government, under the sugar act of 1937, had limited Florida production to 1 per cent of the total amount used in the United States.

Shortly before Dec. 7, the resrtiction was lifted by presidential

“Cut it short and get it all in . . . gotta’ send more sugar to the soldier men,” is the type of chant that is heard above the metallic ring of the sharp blade against the brittle cane. From the fields the cane is

mill. At the mill the cars are automatically tilted’ to dump the cane on a giant conveyor which carries|! it through an elaborate grinding |,

five minutes. i : After passing through a labyrinth |! of pipes and tanks, 10 per cent of} the cane comes pouring from al.

325-pound lots for shipment to the refinery. The amazing thing about the mill is its spotless cleanliness. There are no flies, as might be expected, and no stickiness. The remaining 90 per cent of the cane is far from wasted. - The pulp left when the juice is extracted is used as fuel for the giant boiler

The everglades harvest will continue until the middle of May, al-
