DOMINION S DEPENDENCE ON THE FARMER.

EFFECT OF LOWERED EXPORT VALUES. “We, as farmers, have always Relieved that we are the backbone of the country,”, stated Hon. E. A. Ransom, Minister of Lands, in speaking at the meeting of farmers at Woodville on Saturday, “and if farmers are affected by lowered nrices for their product?, the trouble spreads to others. ’’ This year, he continued, exports had dropped twenty millions below those of last year, and it was easy to see the effect that this would have on all those whose interests were dependent on the farming community. The difficulties of the present day were .not local, but were world-wide, and although New Zealand could not affect Home markets, it could put its own house in order and endeavour to bring the. costs of production in line Gvith export values. The difficulties were great and ever increasing at the moment, but he believed the time was pot far distant when there would be a decided change for the better. The cabled news that day, Mr Ransom added, of the British Government's intentions in regard to tariffs was cheering, and it was to be hoped that there would be further benefits to Lominivn the Ottawa conference, the country ■would have to do something to help itself.
