NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of The
Associated Press AN increase in the
maximum wholesale price Of sugar
beets from 35 pfennigs per hundred
weight to 1.35 or even 100 is held to
be necessary if production is to be
encouraged sufficiently to insure a
nor crop in 1916. Representatives Of
the sugar industry, and of agriculture
in general, gathered recently in the
ministry of the interior to discuss
the sugar beet problem. According to
the best obtainable estimates, the 1916
sugar production from, the beet crop
will total only 30,000,000 hundred
weight, as against a normal produc-
ton of from so to So hundred-weight.
The treason for the decreased pro-
duction lies primarily in the high
price OF grain. Farmers find it more
profitable to plant their farms to wheat
than to beets because the wheat brings
them higher prices. Therefore, if beets
are to be grown again, the price for

maximum price at 1.60 marks or even
= marks per hundred-weight. 1t was
pointed out that the cost of labor has
greatly increased and that many other
fixed charges that enter into the pro-
| duction Of sugar from beets have gone
up. The majority OF those present at
the meeting, however, agreed that a
maximum price of $50 was sufficient
to induce increased planting of sugar
beets, to a point whereby about forty
million hundred-weight would be rails
ed in all probability. This new price, il
is proposed, will become effective
Sept. /, 1916. or before the crop is
harvested. The 40 million hundred
weight it is believed will b amply sufi.
