Our farmers are more to blame than anyone else for the present low price of Ontario wheat, When Western wheat first became a competitor of our Ontario grain our Camera made no effort to keep the intruder out, In- stead of fighting against the introduc- tion of Manitoba patent Hours they bought Western flours. Naturally Ontario wheat was neglected, many mills closed down and the demand for Ontario wheat became alit, Yet our farmers complain that there is no money in wheat. There is good money in wheat, and our fanners min get it out by forcing ep the prices, Since our millers have perfected blended flours there is no reason why our farmera should buy Weetorn flours. Blended flours (con- tenting Ontario wheat and n small quantity of Manitoba wheat) are bet- ter, both for bread and poetry, titan tory flour milled of a single kind of wheat. One of the leading bakeries of Toronto has tried out the blended flours, and it has been the mane of doubling end trebling their business on "homemade bread.” In the Maritime Provinces blended'1h.urs are capturing tate market and have driven "Western hard patent flours" out of many stores entirely. What our farmers should do is to stop spending their money for Western Hour and huy blending flours, milled by our own millers of our own Ontario wheat. In this so'ay tate money which now goes to the wheat growers in Manitoba and Alberta would stay right here at home. And as the demand for blended flours inerea•es, the demand for Ontario wheat will increase and higher prices will bo obtained for their crops by the farmers. j It is thedarmartt fault too that dairy• men and stockmen are paying such high prices for bran and shorts, When Great Bargains Our Store Call and see what we are giving away N.

With a good heatiby demand for blended flours our mills will be running to their, fullest, capacity, plenty of bran and shorts would be pt'otlilred end with no freight charges to pay the prices would necessary go down.
