Sugar bounty bill aims to cut prices and grow beet sugar
A lengthy speech promotes a four million dollar yearly bounty for two years to lower sugar prices and boost sugar beet and sorghum farming across the United States. It argues the plan helps farmers in north and south, Louisiana, and Pacific coast cane growers, while discussing export duties, historical salt and coffee precedents, and beet sugar potential with limited dietary impact. The speaker cites European beet sugar success and urges cultivation expansion, including Michigan and other states, to achieve cheap sugar through subsidies.
