STILL CHAMPION. MY DEAR PEOPLE,— IN REFERENCE TO MY RECENT DISCOURSES ON THE EFFICACIOUS AND RECUPERATING VIRTUES Ob" " CHAMPION " MUSCLE RAISER FLOUR, AND THE CURRICULUM OF THE ROLLER SYSTEM, I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO THE OCCASION TO DEFER FURTHER COMMENTS UNTIL AFTER THE HOLIDAYS. " CHAMPION " THINKS THAT EVERY ENCOURAGEMENT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY GIVEN TO OUR WHEAT GROWERS TO PRODUCE MORE, WHEN YESTERDAY'S CABLES STATED THAT THE PRICE OF AMERICAN WHEAT HAD BEEN FIXED AT 12/6 PER BUSHEL FOR 1918, AND THE EVER-THOUGHTFUL) "CHAMPION" SENT THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM HIS COMPANY ON THE 2nd MARCH TO THE HON. W D. S. MACDONALD, MINISTER FOR AGRICULTURE. I AM. -y AUCKLAND. NORTHERN ROIXER MHXIITG COY., LTD. ' Auckland, March 2, 1918. "The Hon. W. D. S. Macdonald, "Minister for Agriculture, "Wellington. "WHEAT SEASON, 1010. "Dear Sir,— "We notice some of the Southern Farmers' Uuions are agitating for the price to be flxed for ucxt year. We tlilnk it would be wise to indicate that 'nothing lower than 6/ net f.o.b. will be the price for good milling. There is no use tinkering wllli it to annoy wneat growers, who will lose this year by damaged crops, anil some Inducement must be offered to grow sufficient and to spare for home consumption, and it Is doubtful if you will not have to adjust prices with present crop if the damage is serious. "A penny per bushel is 3/10 to 4/ per ton of flour. "The mills and the Government conld corae to terms as regards prices when the time arrives, but the Dominion's salvation is to got the wheat grown to produce sufficient flour, also bran and pollard for our dairying, bacon, aud poultry industries, which suffered heavily last year through scarcity, and it was a good one for green feed lv some respects; but if we had a dry one, with the same scarcity of- bran and pollard, there would be dire results. A large quantity of bran Is used for horse feed, and chaff and oats have every indlration of being in short supply at high prices, and now that the Government has assumed control, it must produce to keep the essential Industries going, which are the backbone of the country. It is apparent, with our heavy taxation, there should be no hampering of our essential Industries. "On the raw material there are always two labour handlings, but not so on the manufactured Imported articles. ••The railway revenue derived from grain under normal conditions must have been in the vicinity of about £90,000 per annum. "WHETHER PEACE IS DECLARED OR NOT DURING THIS YEAR, THE WORLD'S DRAINAGE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEAUS OF CANADIAN. AMERICAN, INDIAN, AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLIES WILL BE SO HEAVY THAT IF THE DOMINION DOESN'T RISE TO- THE OCCASION THERE WILL BE A POOR CHANCE OF GETTING FROM THE COUNTRIES MENTIONED. AND WOULDN'T TUEKE BE AN UPROAR. IF Trtß DOMINION POTATO CBOP IS A FAILURE MOKE BREAD WILL BE USED. "WE THINK THIS FRIGHTFUL WAR WILL BE WON WITH THE STOMACH. © ' "We remain, "Yours respectfully, "P.
