Grow Ontario Wheat.
Modern farming bas become a busi-
ness proposition, and mete &tough in
agricnitine because it returns annual
profits on the money and labor invest-
ed, The soil is the paymaster, and the
variety, quantity, and quality of goods
produced, determines the success of the
man engaged in the agricultural husi•
11080.
But the tuarliot must be considered,
and demand must be 010ated end
retered to, if business is to advance.
Unfortunately for Ontario farmers, the
demand for what ought to be the most
valuable product of their fields has
declined. Western tnillcrs have intro-
duced a flora' which, though lacking in
flavor, contains more 'strength," or
gluten, than theft which is trilled from
the more finely flavored Ontario wheat,
Ontario consumers, by the extensive
advertising of the alleged superiority
of Western flour, were soon convinced
that flays' must be eaoriliced to
strength. kothe home market was
largely lost, 'and farmers began to

notice the increased cost of feed, and
the low prices to be obtained for their
By a series of chemical analyses and
experiments witiclt have extended over
a decade, it has been demonstrated that
by the'addition of a small proportion
of Western wheat, Ontario blended
flour contains the necessary gluten to
successfully COI
ate with its Western
rival, and still retain the flavor which
is peculiar to Ontario grain. Bread
sada from blended flour soon found a
ready sale in 'Toronto, and within a
year or two after the introduction of
blended flours on the market, the
Maritime Provinces have shown such
preference for these Ontario -milled
flours that certain milling firnis have
doubled • their plants to the last six
mons.
It1 hthas been already pointed out that
the farmer its a business man, must
consider the market and the inexorable
law of supply and demand. Now Ont-
ario ought to deserve the first attention
and the home -market of the Province
should feel the effect of the demand for
Ontario blended flour.
But the farrier is both it producer and
a consumer, and as such, has a double
interest in helping to create a demand
for Ontario -grown wheat. When the
individual farmer realizes that the
purchase of the new flour means better
bread on his table, bolter prices for his
wheat, and an ultimate substantial
decrease in the coat of bran and shorts,
the battle to regain the Ontario market
for an Ontario product will be as good,
