      <SimpleTextPart>. Conditions are generally good and the average sowing date for the crop is expected to be around April 11, against April 23 last year, and a 10-year average of April 14, the spokesman added. It is far too early yet to say what kind of output we can expect when it comes to harvest in September, but at least the crop is off to a very good start, he said. Last year, the </SimpleTextPart>
      <NamedEntityInText uri="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Netherlands">Netherlands</NamedEntityInText>
      <SimpleTextPart> planted a record 137,600 hectares of sugar beet and produced a record 1.2 mln tonnes of white sugar, substantially more than the countrys combined A and B quota of 872,000 tonnes. This year, however, a self-imposed quota system has been introduced with the aim of cutting plantings to 130,000 hectares and reducing white sugar output to around 915,000 tonnes to minimise the amount of non-quota C sugar produced. Only farmers with a record of growing suger beet have been allotted quotas. This is expected to prevent the area being boosted by dairy or cereal farmers moving into sugar.</SimpleTextPart>

A decision on what percentage would go to each sector would be made shortly before the sale price was announced on April 28. Minimum subscription would be for 400 shares with payment in two tranches, again a method broadly in line with previous privatisations. Chairman Sir </SimpleTextPart>

      <SimpleTextPart>. The journal, to be released late today, contains two articles reporting high remission rates several cancer types. The journal also contains a signed editorial concluding that the new results mark a significant milestone in the search for a successful immunotherapy for cancer. Interleukin-2, also known as IL-2, is a substance naturally produced by living cells in the laboratory. The drug is controversial because it was widely praised as a promising cancer treatment in early reports on its effectiveness in late 1985, only to come under criticism a year later for its failure to live up to its promise and due to its ravaging side effects. One of the new studies, conducted by Dr. </SimpleTextPart>

In that study, researchers administered IL-2 to 48 cancer patients and found a 50-pct remission rate for kidney cancers and a 50 pct remission rate for melanoma, a type of skin cancer, according to </SimpleTextPart>

      <SimpleTextPart>Argentine grain producers adjusted their yield estimates for the 1986/87 coarse grain crop downward in the week to yesterday after the heavy rains at the end of March and beginning of April, trade sources said. They said sunflower, maize and sorghum production estimates had been reduced despite some later warm, dry weather, which has allowed a return to harvesting in some areas. However, as showers fell intermittently after last weekend, producers feared another spell of prolonged and intense rain could cause more damage to crops already badly hit this season.

On an unadjusted basis total unemployment fell by 16,500 in the month to end-March to 692,200. In March 1986 the figure was 725,000. A ministry spokesman said the unadjusted figures showed a smaller than usual seasonal decrease for the time of year, because of particularly cold weather delaying work in the building industry. He said this explained the increase in the adjusted statistics. Total vacancies available rose by 1,900 to 26,300 at end-March. A year earlier the figure was 28,763.</SimpleTextPart>

      <SimpleTextPart> said last years fall in oil prices made feedstocks dramatically cheaper and at the same time the American dollar was weakening against foreign currencies. That helped boost U.S. chemical exports. Also helping to bring supply and demand into balance has been the gradual market absorption of the extra chemical manufacturing capacity created by Middle Eastern oil producers in the early 1980s. Finally, virtually all major U.S. chemical manufacturers have embarked on an extensive corporate restructuring program to mothball inefficient plants, trim the payroll and eliminate unrelated businesses. The restructuring touched off a flurry of friendly and hostile takeover attempts. </SimpleTextPart>

      <SimpleTextPart> said the Centre-West, whose crops include soya and maize, had between 30 and 40 pct of the nations grains production but only 20 pct of its storage space.

The new tariffs, to go into effect on April 17, are in retaliation for Japans failure to adhere to an agreement to end dumping semiconductors in world markets at below cost and to open its home market to U.S. semiconductor shipments. They are to be imposed on goods which use semiconductors, including television and audio equipment and computers.

The company said the new chips support the integrated services digital network, or </SimpleTextPart><NamedEntityInText uri="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Integrated_Services_Digital_Network">ISDN</NamedEntityInText><SimpleTextPart>, the international standard for digital voice and data communications. </SimpleTextPart><NamedEntityInText uri="http://aksw.org/notInWiki/Advanced_Micro">Advanced Micro</NamedEntityInText><SimpleTextPart> also said it has signed a licensing agreement with </SimpleTextPart><NamedEntityInText uri="http://aksw.org/notInWiki/American_Telephone_and_Telegraph_Co">American Telephone and Telegraph Co</NamedEntityInText><SimpleTextPart> T under which ATT has provided it with certain digital communications specifications.

The chip set includes five separate devices in 100 unit quantities. The devices are priced from 7.25 dlrs to 29.25 dlrs. Similar chip sets for </SimpleTextPart><NamedEntityInText uri="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Integrated_Services_Digital_Network">ISDN</NamedEntityInText><SimpleTextPart> communications are already being sold by a number of companies including </SimpleTextPart><NamedEntityInText uri="http://aksw.org/notInWiki/INTEL_Corp_INTC">INTEL Corp INTC</NamedEntityInText><SimpleTextPart>, ATT, </SimpleTextPart><NamedEntityInText uri="http://aksw.org/notInWiki/Rockwell_International_ROK">Rockwell International ROK</NamedEntityInText><SimpleTextPart> and a joint venture between </SimpleTextPart><NamedEntityInText uri="http://aksw.org/notInWiki/Northern_Telecom_LTd">Northern Telecom LTd</NamedEntityInText><SimpleTextPart> NT and </SimpleTextPart><NamedEntityInText uri="http://aksw.org/notInWiki/Motorola_Inc">Motorola Inc</NamedEntityInText><SimpleTextPart> MOT.
