SUGAR BEET.
GOVERNMENT PLAN APPROVED.
The future of the sugar-beet industry formed the subject of "a_debate in the House of Commons on December 19th, following a statement by Mr. Edward. Wood, the Minister of Agriculture, who introduced a financial resolution to authorize the
payment of a subsidy in respect of sugar or molasses manufac tured in Great Britain from beet grown in this country during the next ten years. This subsidy is to be an u diminishing BCTLIE For refined sugar of a polariza tion exceeding 08
subsidy degrees the will be at the rate of 198. 6d. per evt. for the
Brst four years, 13% per cwt. for the text three years, and 6s, B. per cwt. for the Asal three years. For sugar of lower degrees of polarization the subsidy will be at rates calculated on the basis of the scale applied for Customs duty. Excise duty is to be reimposed ад sugar macufactured from home. grown beet, so the net cost to the Ex- chenger will be the subsidy mirus Excise duty. This
means that the subsidy of 10s. 6d. this year will be lessened by es, ed. duty, so that the immediate pet cost to the State will

As a condition of the subsidy it will be Decessary for the factories to pay the growers a certain minimum price for the bact for the first four years, and "the price would be fixed in the Bill at & figure of 448. a ton which contained 133 per cent sugar contente.
TERMS TO REFINERS.
Mr. Wood explained that there was one aspect of the question which had excited, some criticism-its reaction ou the business of the great refining in- dustry carried on in this country. The refiners had complained that the sale of the subsidy, as at present drawn. conferred a a preference on the production of refined sugar as compared with the production of what might be called raw sugar, and thereby they feared that the attempt which was being made to assist. anc British industry would merely be made at the expense of another establish ed industry. The Clovers hold the scales Mr. Wood said, had endeavoured to absolutely. evenly between the raw sugar interest and the refining sugar interest There
