+li ROBA.BLY 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 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
own farmers an advantage over yowl
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 our , 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 63x/% of the produce—not
of the Ontario farmer—but of the average Canadian fanner,
Including the wheat farmer of the West. If we were to leave the
Western wheat farther 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 im
portance of the export market for farm produce is that they have
looked at it solely fron-1 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 th% other three-fourths that we can arrive at a true es-
timate of the value of the home market to the average Canadian.
farmer!
Isere is otir calculation. Check up our figures frien 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.
including fresh dried and preserved fruits, grains, flour and tinseled products, bakery products and prepared -foods, vegetable oils,
tobacco, fresh and prepared vegetables, maple syrup, maple sugar and miscellaneous, hut excluding rubber, sugar (other than maple),'
molasses and confectionery as products aot of Canadian agricultural origin; also excluding alcoholic beverages whose export value is
out of all relation to the value of the agricultural products used'iii their production. - - -
Animals and Animal Products.
-
including live animals, hides a:ud skins, leather, fresh meats, cured and canned meats, milk and its products, oils, fats, greases, eggs,
honey and miscellaneous, but excluding fish oils, 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 silk, 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 -
Now the gross agricultural revenue of Canada for crop year 1923 is given as $1,342,1132,000. Deduct-
ing the grand total exports, as above of $489,094,124, leaves a balance of $853,037,876 to represent what
trust have been consumed by the horse market. In other words, the export market took only 36y:2%
of our farm production. The balance, 631/%, was consumed in Canada!

Export Prices. that Fail to Govern
° . Home Prices.
rn 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 rsi ,ces 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 surplusesonly a hundred
nes away? •
Hay and Potatoes for Instance.
in 1923, • for instance, farmers in ,Nor-
folk. County received an average of only
81% cents a bushel for their potatoes,
while farmers in Welland County, less
TE
FOR HIGHER TARIFF AND
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 yourfaith 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 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 their hay away!
What's Sauce for the,Goose is Sauce
for the Gander.
Belittlers of the home market assert that ..
a tariff 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 farmers, why should
not a Canadian tariff be a detriment to''
foreign farmers and consequelly a benefit.
to our own?
What a New Industry,in your Market
Town, Means 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 ':own immediately has
more money to spend on the butter and eggs, the
vegetables, fruit, milk and grain your farm.
produces.
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 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 the
offer of a better job than he now has, to come and.
live in Canada, would hel 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 the,
position where they must take a chance on ship-
ping their products long distances, and then selling.
them in competition with other producers from all.

would build up the home market.a vastly better.

A higher tariff will give more workers good'
jobs in this country. Canadian workmen,
with good jobs- are the beat customers that
the Canaaian farmer will ever have,
