DURING the war extraordinary
measures had to be undertaken, and
people generally submitted grace
fully to restrictions as war easures,
hut Canada had these same difficulties
and more of them, because she was
longer in the war. Here is how the
Canadian government handled the
wheat question and in comparison to
the bungle made by our Democratic
administration it is well worth con-
sideration:
Canadian farmer last year got
about As cents a bushel more for their
wheat than was received by the farm
ers of the United States. How it came
about is rather an interesting story.
The price o fwheat in the United
States was fixed at 1926 per bushel.
The Canadian price W asfxed at $2.15
per bushel.
Apparently the farmer of the Unit
ed States had the advantage, but the
Canadians organized their wheat pro-
gram in such a way that whatever
profit the government might make out
of it would go to the men who grew
the wheat and not to the spectators
and profiteers.
Here is the way they worked it.
When the Canadian farmer took his
wheat to the elevator or mill he was
paid the minimum price of $2.15 in
cash. Then, in addition, he was given
a certificate showing the number Of
bushels of wheat he sold. This was
called a participation certificate. The
government then took over the wheat
and marketed it during the year to
the best advantage possible and at the
end of the year figured up the results
and found that it had a profit of about
5000 600. This profit was distribut-
ed among the farmers in proportion
to the amount of wheat each had sold.
When the whole thing was figured out
it was found that the participation
certificates were worth about as cents
a bushel.
In other words, the Canadian far
mer got his basic price Of $2.15, and
then an additional dividend of As
cents a bushel. This shows the differ
ence between running things to pro-
tect the interests of the producer and
permitting the Spectator and prof
teer t ofeed on the producer.
