THE WHEAT BILL
Secure Market and Enhanced Price.
MAIN OBJECTS.
Rugby, March 1.. A further important measure, designed to improve the condition of agriculture, was considered in the House of Commons to-day, when the Minister for Agriculture introduced the Wheat Bill, the ob- ject. of which is to provide wheat- growers, within the United King- dom, with a secure market and an enhanced price for home-grown wheat of millable quality without a subsidy from the Exchequer and without encouraging the extension of wheat cultivation to land un- suitable for it..
......
Referring to the standard price, Sir John Gilmour, said it was in- tended that. every registered wheat-grower in the United King- dom should be entitled to receive, at the end of each cereal year, a so-called deficiency payment, which would represent the difference; reckoned In- the grower's certified! sales, between an ascertained aver age price of home-grown millable wheat and the standard price of ten shillings a hundredweight, which was the equivalent of forty- five shillings per quarter of five hundred and four pounds.
The Bill, he said, contained a provision for a review of the posi÷ tion in three years,
A limit of six million quarters would be imposed; in respect of which deficiency payment, would be made in any one year,
