TWO FACTORIES OPERATE. REMISSION OF EXCISE DUTY. A. and N.Z. LONDON, April 12. Speaking at a luncheon of the British Sugar Beet Growers' Society, Sir Francis Floud, Permanent Secretary to the -Ministry of Agriculture, said there was every reason to suppose the present Government would continue the remission of the excise duty on home-grown •sugar, which was the one bright spot in agriculture. Mr. G. H. Roberts, M.P., said that this year two factories at Kelham, Nottinghamshire, and Cantley, had contracted for 15,000 acres, giving employment to 1500 labourers. He hoped that in the near future there would be twenty other factories in operation.
