in such a way that one-eight of all payments received within the whole of .Sweden
were shared between the Societies in proportion to the population of their
respective districts. The Riksdag of 1913 fixed the amount of compensation to be paid
to the Agricultural Societies instead of the receipts, which are now paid to the
Public Treasury, at 2 100 000 kr. annually. The Riksdag of 1914 resolved that
this amount should be divided between the Agricultural Societies during the years
1915—19, in such a way that a fixed sum of 10 000 kr. should be given to
each Society and that, of the remainder of the grant, one half is to be awarded
in proportion to the number of the population engaged in agriculture and fishing
within the districts of the respective Societies. The other half of the said
remainder is to be divided in proportion to the other part of the population
in such districts, this with the reservation, however, that if, in consequence of
the above division being carried out in accordance with these principles, any
Agricultural Society should receive less than 35 000 kr., the difference shall
first be given to the Society in question, and the remainder of the grant shall be
divided, as mentioned above, among the other Societies. — From the year 1920
inclusive this plan will be so altered, that the amount which is to be divided
according to population is to be allotted as follows: three-fifths shall be given
in proportion to the number of persons engaged in agriculture and fisheries,,
and two-fifths in proportion to the rest of the population.
In consequence of the large State grant received by the Agricultural Societies,
in the form of spirit-sale revenue, they were able to extend their field of activity
very extensively and powerfully to support agriculture. For a long succession
