This keeps Canadian eggs off the eastern markets, re also have a 27 cents per pound rate on ied eggs. Dried eggs are used commef* cially by food product manufacturing coil* cerns.

We produce about 2 billion pounds of butter each year. Our chief competitors on the American market for butter have been Canada, New Zealand _and the countries of northern Europe. This group practically controlled the butter market in New York prior to the passage of the Farm Tariff Act. Since the passage of this Act butter imports have fallen off tdEfcractically nothing. IF THIS TARIFF WERE REMOVED CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, DENMARK, AND OTHER COUNTRIES WOULD AGAIN FLOOD OUR MARKETS WITH BUTTER. iThe accepted definition of free trade is "Buy on the cheapest market and let the producer take care of himself." iThis means if hogs can be produced cheaper in Canada, that American consumers would j buy their pork products from Canada. It means if butter can be produced cheaper in New Zealand and shipped to this country in refrigerated ships at low water freight rates, then the American consumer would buy from New Zealand and let the American farmer take care of himself. It means that the entire output of the American farms would be in open competition .with the cheapest markets, the low costs of production on cheap landp, by cheap labor, * - * . • * • and FROZEN BEEF The tariff rate is 6 cents per pound on fresfi chilled and frozen beef. Before this tariff was established by the Republican party New Zealand sent us 55 per cent and Cana* da 45 per cent of our imports of fresh chilled and frozen beef. Since this rate went intp effect imports of this beef have practically disappeared from the American markets. , IF THIS TARIFF WERE REMOVED, NEW ZEALAND AND CANADA WOULD AGAIN TAKE OUR MARKET. EVERY BEEF CARCASS SHIPPER INTO THIS COUNTRY WOULD DISPLACE THAT MUCH BEEF, FROM THE AMERICAN FARMERS. --v FLAX t; tWe Have a 62 cents per bushel tariff on flaxseed. Flaxseed at Minneapolis and Duluth is selling at $1.10 per bushel. The Winnipeg market for flax is 7?r/% cents per bushel. tThe Argentine price for flax is 62 cents per bushel. ^ PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER CATTLE On the south bank of the Rio Grande there are 2 million cattle.

Since this rate became effective in June, 1930, imports of fresh pork from Canada into the Dakotas, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington have dropped to less than 5 per cent of the total imports prior to the passage of this Act.
