Book Description

Excerpt from The Sugar Bulletin, Vol. 16: October 1, 1937 The Agricultural Adjustment Administra tion announced Sept. 27th, 1937 that a public hearing will be held at Baton Rouge, La., on October 4 to receive evidence bearing upon wage rates for harvesting the 1937 sugarcane crop and upon prices to be paid by processors who are producers for sugarcane in connec tion with the Sugar Act of 1937. The hearing will be held in the Agricultural Auditorium, Louisiana State University and A. M. Col lege, beginning at a. M. (cst). The Sugar Act of 1937 authorizes the Secre tary of Agriculture to establish fair and reas onable wage rates for agricultural labor. Compliance with rates established is one of the conditions of payment to growers. The Act also authorizes the Secretary to establish prices to be paid to growers by processors who are themselves producers of sugarcane and who apply for payment on the sugarcane they pro duce themselves. The payment of these prices to other growers is a condition of payment for the processors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
