PROBABLY CO part 6f the Business of farming is less undefi stood and ies* appreciated than the value of the home market to the average Caniadia'n farmer of to-day. First and foremost, gfiven a Government that is sympathetic writh you, the home market is one that you can absolutely con- trol, at all times, at least against the foreign farmer who would invade it. On the other hand, the foreign market is one that you may be legislated out of at any moment by the vote of a foreign government that has decided that it wants to give its OViTi farmers an advantage over you ! Next, the market that is best worth cultivating is always the market that absorbs the largest part of your production. The fellow who year after year buys more than half your crop is worth more to you than the fellow who only buys 25% of it. That's fundamental ! There's no getting away from it ! From the figures below we prove absolutely that the home market absorbs at the very least 63^ 2% of the produce not of the Ontario farmerâ€" but of the average Canadian farmer, including the wheat farmer of the West. If we were to leave the <r ; Western wheat fanoer^jRUt of it, it could be proved that owff 8(>% of wh^t the Ontario farmer produces is consumed by tfaii home market. '4 â-  'â-  The reason som^i pei6ple have an exaggerated idea of tiie ioH portance of the export market for farm produce is that theyhavO looked at it solely from the standpoint of wheat! It is true that we export in one form or another about 75 per cent of our entire wheat crop. But the wheat crop, important and all as it is, re- presents only about one-fourth of our total annual agricultural production, and it is only when we take into account what be- comes of the other three-fourths that we can arrive at a true es- timate of the value of the home market to the average Canadian farmer! Here is our calculation. Check up our figures from the Canada Year Book, the official statistical publication issued by the Gov- ernment. Subject our deductions to the most searching investi- gation and you will find that if we have erred at all, we have under-estimated, rather than over-estimated the importance of the farmer's home market. TOTAL EXPORTS, FISCAL YEAR 1924, OF Agricultural and Vegetable Products. includints fresh dried and preserved fruits, grains, flour and milled products, bakery products and prepared foods, vegetable oils, tobacco, fresh and prepared vegetables, maple syrup, maple sugar and miscellaneous, but excludins; rubber, sugar (other than maple), molasses and confectionery as products not of Canadian agricultural origin: also excluding £U-oi.< he beverages whose export value ia out of all relation to the value of the agricultural products used in their production. -- ...... Animals and Animal Products. including live animals, hides and skins, leather, fresh meats, cured and canned meats, milk and its products, oils, fats, greases, eggs, lioney and miscellaneous, but excluding fish oib, seal and whale oils, and furs other than black and silver fox skins, as products not of agricultural origin. .....-- ....... Fibres, Textiles and Textile Products. including all wool and woolens, also flax, jute and hemp products, but excluding binder twine, manufacturers of cotton and (ilk. manu* facturers of mixed textiles, and certain kinds of wearing apparel, as products not of Canadian agricultural origin. ... Grand total exports, all kinds of farm produce ... ...... $394,407,246 91,939,305 2,747,573 $489,094,124 Now the gross agricultural revenue of Canada for crop year 1923 is given as $1,342,132,000. Deduct- ing the grand total exports, as above of $489,094,124, leaves a balance of $853,037,876 to represent what must have been consumed by the home market. In other words, the export market took only 36]^% of our farm production. The balance, 63 ' 2^/1 • ^a> consumed in Canada! TWO THIRDS OF WHAT THE CANADIAN FARMER RAISES, HE SELLS IN CANADA Export Prices that Fail to Govern Home Prices. In attempts to belittle the home market, the argument has been used over and over again that the prices obtainable in the export market always govern the prices obtainable in the domestic market. Statements of that kind constitute one of the meanest forms of dishonesty. It is probably true that, in the absence of an effective wheat pool, the Liverpool price pretty nearly fixes the domestic price of wheat. But the Liverpool price of hay, or of potatoes, is almost negligible in its effect upon the local prices obtainable for those commodities in Canada. And the reason for the difference is that wheat, besides being a commodity that can be stored indefinitely, has been provided with terminal facilities that enable it to be handled at a minimum of expense, and is carried at the lowest of all freight rates, whereas transportation costs on hay and potatoes substantially protect the pro- ducer against surpluses only a hundred miles away ! Hay and Potatoes for Instance, In 1923, for instance, farmers in Nor- folk County received an average of only SlVs cents a bushel for their pot.itoes, while farmers in Welland County, less than fifty miles away, received $1.00 for theirs. In that same year farmers in Perth County received an average of only $9.28 a ton for their hay, while farmers in the adjoining County of Middlesex re- ceived $11.05 for theirs. Discount these illustrations as much as you like on the ground that differences of quality had something to do with the differences in price, yet do they not serve to shake your faith in the man who would have you believe that Liverpool prices always govern domestic prices? Did Thun- der Bay farmers, for instance, get $19.64 for their hay in 1923 because it was of such superior quality, or did they get it because of the high cost of bringing $8.98 hay from Huron Courty, or $10.11 hay from Lambton County? If Liverpool prices governed hay in the way and for the same reasons that they do wheat, Ontario farmers would have to pay shippers a premium to take the- hay away! What's Sauce for (he Goose is Sauce for the Gander. Belittlers of the h' ;ne market assert that a tariff on farm pn Jucts is of no benefit to our famiers. Is ihe United States tariff on farm products of no benefit to United States farmers? 1; it no detriment to Canadian farmers? If a foreign tariff is a detriment to Canr . an farmers, why should not a Canadian tariff be a detriment to foreign farmers and consequently a benefit to our own? , What a New Industry, in your Market Town, Means to You! , It increases "the prosperity of the town, giveSi work to the unemployed, adds to the tx>palation, gets the empty houses rented and starts the build- ing of new ones. The town immediately has more money to spend on the butter and eggs, tho vegetables, fruit, milk and grain your farm produces. The foreign market is admittedly an importaot market, but after all what does it consist of.' Isn't it made up entirely of town and city dwellers â€" wage-earners â€" who cannot obtain from their owa farmers as much food as they require so they must buy from you .' Is the city dweller an asset to the Canadian farmer only when he happens to dwell in a foreign city ? If we persuaded him, by tho' oflfer of a better job than he now has, to come and' live in Canada, would, he not be a bigger asset to our farmer than he is at present ? Those who scoff at the home market would en- courage those dwellers in a foreign city to stay where they are, thus leaving our farmers in th« powtion where they must take a chance on ship-' ping their products long distances, and then selling them in competition with other producers from all over the world! Isn't the plan of those who' would build up the home market a vastly bett«rj one.' A higher tariff will give more workera gocA jobs in this country. Canadian workmMti with good iobs are the beet cuatommrs the the Canadian farmer will ever have.
