It appeared on September 4. 1974. and I submit It for At the time raw sugar prices began to soar under pressure of heavy world demand. the United States held fast to its quota system of production. This restricted donestic cane and beet sugar producers and also foreign countries that were a major factor in supplying American needs. Now. belatedly. Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz says he is considering recommending to President Ford that he abolish the quota system instead of waiting until December 31 when the act enabling it expires. Butz says that lifting the quotas probably wont have any effect on price of sugar. but it certain should. American production alone can account for a considerable tonnage from land now idle. and foreign growers certainly can increase their production.
