COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made Of q mum.
Der Of men farming in q large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than So cents q bushel. The
average freight rate is not over Is
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost Of production and freight 68
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
OF TN cents and for his high-grade
wheat Of 1914 cents; and though this
Is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right to expect. 1t is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount Of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
value Of %low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level. A mat
