Now is it true or not that the averago farmer pays retail prices for what he buys ' and receives wholesale prices for what he sells? In other words, does he"6r does he not get "done" both ways? Is it true that wherever there is a small market there is a ring, and if there is a ring, the producer suffers? Why? In ofder thdt those who live by their wits may live. The question I ask you as farmers and. producers is, are there too many intermediaries? Cannot you get rid df Soirte of them? Is this not a suitable field for the energies of the Farmers' Union? We need to-day to look more to ourselves and less to Governments if we want to get more of that confidence which is bred of courage. THE CANADIAN WHEAT POOL. I Hope to start the day after to-morrow for Canada, I am going to. participate in the celebration of the Diamond Jubiree there, and, I may add, my own Diamqpd Jubilee, too. (Cheers.) I hope to visit Winnipeg. I will tell you -why. I wonder how many of you have followed what the farmers of Canada have done. For. years they wore ffloltkbyed about by the dealers and speculators in wheat. In less than five years the marketing methods of Westeril Canada hive been revolutionised and depression has given place to optimism. That IB one rfcfisciii why I rini going there. I want to be among the optimists for a week or two. (Laughter.) All this has heen done by the farmers themselves. Confronted by the slump following tho post-war boom, they consulted together. They formed a pool of the wheat-producing provinces; It is governed by the farmers themselves. A year ago they had a membership ,of 135,000. They disposed of .212,000,000 Bushels of grain, grown on 14,000,000 atres of land, or 70 per cent, of the total crop of the whole Dominion. That gigantic, effort -of self-help and keen work saved thousands of Canadian farmers front disaster. A moveiSent likb this has its critics, but it is authoritatively claimed for it thSt.it jlrfevented si Slutting Of thfe Market, smoothed out the prices, and ruled out the unnecessary middleman.

Your problems it home are less in magnitude but ifrafch mfjire fcoiiipiicated in detail, sii'd I should like to See theih faced with the same kind.of organised.and co-opetatlve business ability with whichj your brothers in Canada have tackie'd ttifeir problems, It is pot for me or. for any Government to tell you how to conduct your own Business. You know far better than anyVoi us"that the initiative must come from--ySu; Better m&rketiiig Is the principal key of the Whble situatibn. Better, qiialHy—good as the quality Is in this caiintty—good quality pays and will pay every time; greater frankness and closer workiiij* together with your own workmeil—by these fnethods there are many farmers. to-day who are finding that they can get along even iri these trdublesome times. When these matters become the practice of every. farmer throughout the country you will still have the Government to grumble at, yon will still have the weather, brit the rest of lis will rejoice tb feel that once again you hive got your feetttn the' path df prdgres3 arid the path at hope, hit! thai you are helping to mdintaih it flourishing population on tho soil of this country, (Cheers.)

I want just to say one word about a Lincolnshire industry other, than about ii.h iiidiiStry which is, to be found at Qfahthani, Khinsbofdiigh, ima. Lincoln. There are still SOme pfeople in this coiiiitry wfio regret the Absence of certain .Russians, who lived Kerb for some years,, fend they tell yoit tlidt their departure from Bhglaiid haß takei with it the loss of enormous trade in agricultutal Machinery from Russia, or ( if it has not, done that, it has .jsmgiitea aS enormous tradfe being .elbrio which would nave been done ia a wefek dr tv?t) if thfeSe gcjntlemfeii had been Allowed tt) rfeihairi. (Laiightfer.J I have got the Board Of Tirade to look into the official Soviet statistics,'and 1 find that .RUaSia in the 12 months ended September 3td last, imported from all countries in . the world three million sterling worth of agrifcultutal taachinery.; Of -that amqunt, machinery to tho value of £30,000 went fropi Great Britain. Thd British imp6tts in the preceding year vas .1.5 per cent. The latest Soviet statistics show that for the four months ended Jatitiary Slit df tliia year no agricultural machinery of British m&nu<actttje tfaS imported iritti the Soviet Uniori;.. That, proves that they haVfi bought very ilitle froiii us in recent years, and that daring rfibent yearsj as beitire tH6 -tfar, they have made neftrly all their purchases of those gottdS. in Oermany and the United States bt Anierica: It Is clear from those figures that the fact ' that Lincolnshire has not got orders for agricultural machinery from Russia has nothing to do with, the recent rupture* and that the nttitiide. 6i .the Sdvlet Government id this respect has been consistently maintained for a long ser'i6Bi IF YOU HAVE FARM PROPERTY FOR SALE, . ft MATSON and CO. There, agaifi, one dunce of fatt is Worth a ton of thebr/. I K&vd only ofie word to nddt The war left iiisny legacies behind it. In the Avar an enormous nhmber of people in this cotihtry found that with the assistance of the GoVertltoent they were able to make money, a&d i!l6hty of it, and to make it easily, and when the,war <SSme to an end they found that the t happy state Of thlhgs came to an end too, and they hate never ceased to grouse' at the Government because they cannot do it easily now. Until We get out of that war mind, we shall never do any good. THE ENGLISHMAN'S WAY. . We are often tdld we must improve on the methods of our fathers,. So we ought. The progress of science buiit on the foundations thejr laid'has given us assistance in many ways, tVhlcfi they lacked. Shame on us if we do not employ it. But in one respect let us follow their example; let us rely on ourIF YOU REQUIRE A PROPERTY, DO Not Fail to see Bt. itATSON and CO. selves; let us work hard; let us have confidetifce ifi dtirselves; let us .not look to the Government to help Us oilt Of every hole we get int0,..... It was never the Englishman's way, He altvays asked ts be left alone, to conduct his oWA tvdrk as he thftught best in his own way, and by adhering in that respect to the virtues of our ancestors, and in that way alone, we «hall'triumph "over opr'present difficulties. By that, alone shall we mn tain this cdttfltry as the great Couhtry they handed dowfl to us, and pasS it. on with a heart and spirit Unimpaired. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) (Concluded.) H.
