DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE. *By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Dec. 8, 8.35 p.m. London, Dec. 7. The Minister of Agriculture (Sir R. A. Sanders), addressing the Council of Agriculture, announced his intention of appointing a departmental committee to consider the difference in the prices of the commodities the producer received and the consumer paid. It was proposed to spend £850,000 in agricultural research in the next five years and £450,000 on land drainage before May.

Then landlords could help farmers in bad times, but now the former were absolutely bankrupt owing to taxation burdens and low receipts for produce.
