Suva, Dec. 28.

THE Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Ltd., has made the final payment of lOd. a ton for the 1946 season’s cane, bringing the total average payment to all growers to 29/9 a ton for that year.

Growers are also receiving end-ofseason payments for the 1947 crop as each mill finishes crushing. In a little more than a month, more than £450,000 will have been paid on this account and delivery payments already made will bring the total payment to date, for 1947 cane, to something over £1,200,000. A further payment is expected to be made early in May.
