Are they right? What are the Facts? P% ROBABLY no part of the business of farming is less under- stood and less appréciated than the value of the home market to the average Canadian farmer of to-day. First and foremost, g*,ven a Government that i.- sympathetÎc with you, the home market is one that you can ab,,olutely con- trol, at ail 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 thýle vote of a foreign government that bas decided that it wanjts to give its own farmers an advantage over you! Next, the market that is best worth cultivating is always the markcet that absorbs the largest part of your production. The fellow who year after year buys more than haif your crop is worth more to you tha-n the fellow who onily buys 25%O of it. That's fundamental! There's no getting away from it! From the figure below we prove absolutely that the home m~arket absorbs at the very least63% of the produce-not of the Ontario farmer-but of the average Çanadian farmer, hIcluding the wheat farmer of the West. If we were to leave the Western wheat farmer out off it, it could be proved that ove 80% of what the Ontario farmer produces is consumned by Ù98l home market. The reason some people have an exaggerated idea ai the in. portance of the export market for farm produce la that they have looked at it solely from the standpoint of wheat! It la true that we export i one form or another about 75 per cent of aur entire wheat crop. But the wheat crop, important and ail as it ks e presents only about one-fourth of our total animal agricultural production, and it is only when we take into account what bo.- cornes of the other three-fourths that we cari arrive at a truce e- timate of the value of the home market to the average Canadian f armer! Uere is owr caiculation. Check up our figures from the Canada Year Book, the officiai statisticai publication issued by the Oov..' ernment. Subject our deductions te the most aearching inveI«-. gation and you will find that if we have crred at ail, we have under-estimated, rather than over-estimated the importance of the farmer's home market.

P., for Parkdale, Conmmis- frein J, D. Chaplin, of the Hayes , nanufacturers of automobiles, i., te the Daly Tmes, Port Hope, la have ' efî hefrlend Expert Prices that Fail te Govern Home Priîces. In attempts to belittie the home market, the argument has been used over and over again that the prices obtainable in the export market aiways govern the prices obtainabie in the domestic market. Statements of that kind constitute one of the meanest form-s 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 pptatoes, is almost negligible ini its effect upon the local prices obtainable for those comniodities in Canada. And the reason for> the difference is that wheat, besides being a commodity that can 1be stored indefiniteiy; bhas been provided with terminai facilities that enable it to ke handied at a minimulm of expense, and is carrieci at the iowest of ail freight rates, whereas transportation costs on hay and potatoes substantiaily protect the pro- ducer against surpluses oniy a hundreçi miles away! i SHa>' and Potatoes for Instance. In 1923, for instance, farmers i Nor- folk County received an average of only~ 831/3 cents a bushel for their potatoe-, while farmers in Welland County, less VOTEI than fifty miles away, received $1.00 for theirs. In that sa.me year farmers in Perth County received an average of only $9.28 a ton for their hay, while farmners in the adjoiriing County of Middlesex re- ceived $11.05 for theirs. Discounit these illustrations as much as you like on the ground that differences of qualîty had sornething 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 1Ç23 because it was of sucb. superior quality, or did they get it because of the high cost of bringing $8.98 hay from H~uron County, 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 pr7emium to take' their ha1 awayl What's Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander. Belittlers of the home market assert that a tarif on farmn products is of no beniefit tour farmers. Is the United States tariff on farm products of no benefit to United States farmers? Is it no detriment te Canadian farmers? If a foreign tariff is a detriment to Canadian farmers, why shoui4 CNER&wA flot a Canadian tariff be a detriment ta forel'gn farmers and consequently a benefit Ito our own?
