Whereas, Section 301 d of the Sugar Act of 1937, ap proved September 1, 1937, provides, as one of the conditions for payment to producers of sugar beets and sugarcane, as follows:
d That the producer on the farm who is also, directly or indirectly, a processor of sugar beets or sugarcane, as may be determined by the Secretary, shall have paid, or con tracted to pay under either purchase or toll agreements, for any sugar beets or sugarcane grown by other producers and processed by him at rates not less than those that may be determined by the Secretary to be fair and reasonable after investigation and due notice and opportunity for public hearing.
and Whereas, the Secretary of Agriculture, on October 4, 1937, held a public hearing1 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for the purpose of receiving evidence likely to be of assistance to him in determining fair and reasonable prices for the 1937
crop of Louisiana sugarcane.
Now, therefore, I, H. A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, after investigation and due consideration o f the evidence obtained at the aforesaid hearing and all other information before me, do hereby determine fair and reasonable prices for the 1937 crop of Louisiana sugarcane to be paid by proc essors who, as producers, apply for payments under the said act, as follows:
1. Not less than $1 per ton of par sugarcane for each one cent of the price of one pound of 96 raw sugar, duty paid basis, based on the simple average of the weekly quotations of 96 raw sugar, duty paid basis, on the Louisiana Sugar and Rice Exchange, Inc., or upon such quotations as the Secretary may elect to use for the purpose, for the weeks from October 18, 1937, to March 1, 1938, when the price of 96 raw sugar, duty paid basis, is three and one-half cents per pound, provided, however, that for each decline of onefourth cent in the price of one pound o f 96 raw sugar, duty paid basis, determined as above, below three and one-half cents per pound, the price for Louisiana par sugarcane shall be reduced by not more than 3 percent with intervening prices in proportion, unless the price of sugar falls below two and three-fourths cents per pound, in which case no further reduction shall be made, and provided, also, that 12 F. R.2290 D I .

for an advance of one-fourth cent in the price per pound o f 96 raw sugar, duty paid basis, determined as above, over three and one-half cents per pound, the price of Louisiana par sugarcane shall be increased by not less than 3 percent with intervening prices in proportion; and provided further:
a That par sugarcane, for the purpose of this determina tion, shall be defined to be sugarcane containing no more sucrose in the normal juice than was defined as par sugarcane by the processor in his sugarcane purchase contract, verbal or written, used in the crop year 1935, and b That the premiums paid for sugarcane containing more sucrose in the normal juice than that defined as par sugarcane in the contract or contracts under the terms of which the processor purchased sugarcane in the 1935 crop shall not be less than those paid by such processor during the 1935 crop, provided, however, that in no case shall the premium be less than seven-tenths of one percent for each full one-tenth of one percent by which the sucrose in the normal juice exceeds 12 & percent, and provided further, that the discounts applied for sugarcane containing less sucrose in the normal juice than that defined as par sugar cane in the 1935 purchase contract or contracts shall be used, except that in no case shall the discount be greater than 2
percent for each full one-tenth of one percent by which the sucrose falls below that of par sugarcane until it reaches 9V2 percent, and c That the processor shall not, through modification o f , any provisions of the cane purchase contract or through any subterfuge or device whatsoever, reduce the returns from the 1937 crop of Louisiana sugarcane to the grower below those determined above.
Done at Washington, D. C., this 19th day of October, 1937.
