THE JUBILEE AND SUGAR-BEET.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—A fitting memento of Her Majesty's Jubilee in the colony of New Zealand w.ould be the establishment of the beet root sugar industry. In every country district where sugar cane is prown for sugar manufacture, sugar cane proves a rod of slavery. In every country district where sugar beet is grown sugarbeet has proved an antidote for slavery. Go where you will, ask whom yon may, where suear cane forms the base of agriculture, degeneration is apparent, but where sugar-beetfforms the base of agriculture, regeneration is visible. Thereore, advance Waikato to the position of giving New Zealand the honour of being the first British colony which has established beet root sugar manufacture, and thereby restore hope and prosperity to the country settler. Let Pakeha and Maori join in askiug the Government to fulfil their promise, by passing the Beet Sugar Bill, which we understand is now the only bar to the establishment this season of the industry.—l am, et 3., William A. Graham. The Lodge, Hamilton, March 23rd, 1897.
