The Seaforth News, Dear Sir, -There appeared a state- ment in a paper last week which said agricultural conditions in Canada, especially in Ontario, never had a better year than the present one. I farmed for years. The statement is not in keeping with conditions. It is true that the crops in this part of Ontario are looking good. Marketing conditions have to be taken stock of in summing up conditions. Take for instance the price of wheat will likely be about from 350 to 40c a bushel for this year's crop. No farmer can grow wheat for that price and make anythidgeout of it. The expense of tilling the soil, sowing the seed, paying for twine and threshing and taxes, can't be done for that price. Oats will likely be worth from 20 to 23 cents per bushel and barley from 35c to 400 per bushel. These prices are the lowest I have ever seen them. Hay has no market valuge_Herses are the lowest in price at the present time I ever saw. They can't be raised for the money they sell for. About the only commodity giving a fair good return is hogs. This last winter was very hard on the young litters and the owners had a bad back set along that line. The price of beef cattle is not look- ing ooking prosperous 'at the present time. Many good cattle are held on the market for days before they are sold. Quite a few are losing instead of making on them. The price of farm machinery Is far too high. It is three times dearer than it used to be. Half the farmers. in Ont- ario are on the verge of poverty to- day, about eighty percent of the farms in Ontario are mortgaged at the . present time. • The powers that be have not been looking after the interest of the farmers, They have let the farmers and the unorganized laborer go to poverty. The writer of the article in your contemporary had better go farming tor a while, then he will know more knowledge about Perna conditions. R. J. McMILLAN, Seaforth, July llth, 1930.
