ONTARIO Be concerned with your Highways No matter whether they are built by the Province; the counties, s or the townships, the roads belong to the people. Construction and maintenance to this date have been paid for largely out of general public funds. It may be expected that in the future the actual users of the roads willbe called upon to contribute more sub- stantially. Those who derive the most direct advantage, surely should bear the brunt of the financial load." Mr. Motorist and Truck Owner, your pleasure and profit in the roads is greater today than ever before. Your responsibility is greater, and it is going to be great- er still. Be concerned with your roads. • Unnecessary damage to roads is done by heavy loads driven at any speed, and by passenger cars at high speeds. The law limits both loads and speed. If you and all other users keep well within the limits: of thelaw, it is safe to say that hundreds of thousands of dollars now spent on road repair work will be saved to you. For those who will not obey the law; penalties are pro- vided. In view of these requests by the Government for sane and intelligent use of the highways, notice is given that the provisions of the law arebeingrigorously enforced. An advertisement issued by the Ontario Department' of High- ways to secure tie cooperation of ,pwtorists and truck drivers, f,utomribile Crtib, Qood Roads As-sociations and alb other public spirited bodies, in abating the abuse of the roads of the province. `Ihe HON. QEO. S. HENRY, Minister S. L. SQUIRE, Deputy Minister- , _ - ... 89 Low Tariff Politicians belittle its importance. Are they right? ROBABLY no part of the business of farming is less under- stood and 'Less appreciated than the value of the home market to the average Canadian farmer of to=day. First and foremost, given a Government that is sympathetic with you, the home market' is one that you can absolutely con- - trol, at all tunes, at least against the foreign farmer who would invade it. On the ether 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 own farmers an advantage over you! Next, the market that is best worth cultivating is always the Anarket that absorbs the largest part of your production. The fellow who year after year 'buys rnore 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! k -From the figures below we prove absolutely that the home market absorbs at t11t very least 6314% of the produce—not of the Ontario farxner-but of the average Canadian farther, including the wheat farmer of the, West. If we were to leave the MARKE' What are the Facts? • • Western wheat farmer out of it, it could be proved, that over 80% .of what the Ontario farmer produces is consumed by this home market. The reason some people have an exaggerated idea of the un- - portance of the export market forfarm•produce is that they harve 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 farmed " 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 EXP LRTS, FISCAL YEAR 1924, OF Agricrxli:taral ar.d Vegetable Products. including fresh dried and preserved fruits, grains, flour and nulled products, bakery products and prepared foods, vegetable oils, tobacco, fresh and picparod vegetables, maple syrup, maple sugar and miscellaneous, but excluding rubber, sugar (other than maple), molasses .and confectionery as products not of Canadian agricultural originl,also 'excluding alcoholic beverages whose export value is out of di] relation tb the value of the agricultural -products used in their production, - - - Animals and Attirra+al Products. + itncluduig eve antntetis,'hides and skins, leather, fresh meets, cured and canned meats, milk and its products, oils, fats, greases,' eggs, honey and miscellaneous, but excluding fish oils, seat and whale oils, and furs other thanblack and silver fox skins, as products not' of agricultural origin. . - - - - - FiGr'es, Textiles and Textile Products., including all wool and woolens, also flax, jute and hemp products, but excluding binder twine, manufacturers of cotton and silk, mann- lecturers of mixed textiles, and -`certain kinds of 'wearing apparel, as products not of Canadian agricultural.origin.

Deduct- er $394,407,246 91,939,309 2,747,673' $489,094,124 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 3614% of ourwfavin, production. The balance, 63,1,4%, was consumed in Canada! TWO THIRDS OF 'WHAT THE CANADIAN FAT ,MER RAISES, HE SELLS IN CANADA Export Prices that Fail to Govern Horne a Prices. In attempts tcfbelittle the hom,,e 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, hi the absence of an effective- wheat pool, the .Liverpool price a pretty nearly fixes the ' domestic - ' price of wheat. But the Liverpool price of hay, or of potatoes, is almost negligible in its effect upors 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 oie hay and' potatoes substantially protect the - pro- ducer against surpluses only ahundred miles away l ofiry and Potatoes -fur Instance. In 1923; for instance,' farmers in Nor- folk County received an average of only ' 811/2 cents a bushel for their 'potatoes, while farmers in Weiland County, less than fifty miles , away, received $1.00 for theirs. In that same year farmers in (Perth County r4ceived 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 County, ' or $10.11 hay from Larnbton County? ' If• Liverpool prices governed hay in the way and for the. same reasons that they do wheat, Ontario fanners would have to .pay shippers a premium to take their lay away! What's Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander. Belittlers of the home market assert that t 'tar`iff on farm products is of no benefit to our ,farmers. ` Is the United States tariff on farm products of no benefit to United States 'farmers? Is it no; detriment to Canadian farmers? If a foreign tariff is 'a, detriment to Canadian fanners, why should not,, a Canadian tariff be a detriment to foreign farmers and consequently a benefit to our own? What to New Industry, ire your Market Town, Meixns to You! It increases the prosperity of the town, gives work to the unemployed, adds to the population, gets the empty houses rented and starts the build- ing of new , ones. The town inimediately has more money to spend on the butter and eggs, the vegetables, fruit, inilk and grain your 'farm produces. 1 The foreign: market is admittedly an important market, but after all what does it consist of? Isn't it made up entirely of town and city dwellers- wage-earners—who: cannot obtain from their own farmers as much food as they require so they must buy from your' 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 the offer of a better job than he now has, to come and -' live ,in Canada, would he not be a bigger asset to our fartiaer than he W. at. present ? Those who scbff at the home market would en- • courage those dwellers in a foreign city to stay where they are, thus leaving our farmers in the position where they rout 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 better one? A higher tariff will give more workers good' jobs in this country. Canadian workmen with good jobs are the best customers the the .CCaraadian'f'arnser will ever have.
