Convention Urges Stabilization of

Beet Industry’

Stabilization- and encouragement of the sugar beet industry was fay- ored at the U. F, A, convention now being held in Calgary. - Because of a‘fear that the requests. made were inconsistent with the tariff principles of the United Farmers, the debate waxed warm, the demands being par- ticularly strong for a statement from the sponsors of the resolution as to exactly what they were asking ~Tor. When the vote was taken there was a substantial majority for the adop- tion of the resolution,

The sugar beet problem is of in- terest to the people of Bassano and district inasmuch ag there are prob- abilities that a sugar beet: industry will be developed here in the near future.

Calling attention to the fact that the sugar beet industry is in vital need of encouragement in order that the benefits accruing therefrom shall coutinue, the resolution asked that the Dominion government be urged to adopt such meesures ag to en courage and stabilize the industry as shall be alike beneficial. to the

| growers of the beets, the manufac.

turers of the refined products there- from, and the consumers of sugar in the Dominion of Canada. Sponsored Resolution

J. W. Evans, of Raymond, who sponsored the resolution, declared that be was not asking for either a higher tariff or a bonus, but said that a‘bonus of one-half a cent per pound would ‘cost only $60,000 on the sugar ga ciges9 in thie province, com-

Mr. Horne and his family were at- tending the auction sale-at the farm of Mrs. C.

The matter wag reported ‘to Sergt. Robt. Wight, of. Bassano, who is investigating the case,

pared with $300,000 he said consum- ers of sugar here gave because lower prices prevailing on account of the factory being. here. ‘We do not need a bonus at the: present time. We do not ask for an increase in the cariff, nor that it remains as high as it is,” he declared. He said there were rumblings of proposed changes, an application having been made to the tariff board, and asked that the industry be given the sup- port of the U. F.A.

E. Bennion, of Magrath, closed the debate with a declaration that the position of the beet industry was similar to the position in which the coal industry is in this province. “When the case for the industry comes up we merely ask for a just and fair consideration,” he declared, and asked the support of the U.F,A. in requesting thig just and fair con- sideration. A remark in the debate that wou considerable applayse was that all farm organizations in Can- ada had been helped by governments. The speaker wanted to know ‘Why the beet industry should be excluded fromthe same privilege.
