THOMAS, 3 Trust Manager. FARMERS AND SETTLERS IF THE GOVERNMENT - WILL NOT ASSIST YOU TO GROW WHEAT CHAMPION WILL. AND NOW IS THE TIME. WHY HESITATE? The appended letter to "N.Z. Times, Wellington, sums up the position. Abou.. 18 to 20 years ago CHAMPION bought yearly 6000 to 8000 sacks ot locallygrown wheat of excellent quality, equal to any Southern, from 2s 9d to 3s per bushel, which was not a- remunerativo CHAMPION now offers you Milling Wheat for seed purposes at 6s per bushel, sacks extra, and he will buy back the same quality at same price at his mills, which ought to bo remunerative. as wheat straw is worth from ala to J 33 10s per ton. . DOMINION WHEATGROWING - . To the Editor “N.Z. Times.** Sir,—l have read your article on wheat growing,' and it behoves everyone at present critical juncture to assist the farmer to do so. N o doubt you are aware up until recently he had no encouragement owing to our ■ inadequate Customs protection of 20s jper ton on wheat and Hour compared \with the Commonwealth's 50s per ton,' and; invariably every session ,of. Parliament there was an agitation tor a 'repeal of our paltry duties, with the.result that several took fright and went in for other class of farming. Last session Mr Massey put through legislation to prevent dumping from the Commonwealth, which was then apparent, but since there has been another somersault in the wheat trade which, renders this dumping protection of little value. Prior to tho war the Commonwealth encouraged wheat-growing, in every conceivable manner, and the Dominion discouraged it in every conceivable manner—and wo now know the consequences. - drain contributes about three-fifths or the railway revenue of Canterbury. Kill the industry, what will fill the gap, as on the raw material there are always two labour handlings, but not on the manufactured articles; and how would the bacon and dairying industries get on. without bran and sharps, as occasionally there are droughts in the .Commonwealth, and under normal conditions she has rarely any to export. Mr Hodge, M.P., London, recently stated no more Free Trade for England, which has got her into the present muddle, and that ho was once one, of the fools that advocated it. If there is to be a withdrawal of the duties on wheat and flour -when prices are . fixed by the Board of Trade, why not have them withdrawn in every other class of industry, not .under its control, and bring us down to the Asiatic level?Japan at one time was an importer of wheat; last year she exported to England one million sacks wheat and flour. Open the door, comment’ is needless, as you know the hold she is get. ting with other lines of goods under our protective tariff. The Argentine has put an embargo on the export of wheat; Canada has sold her output at 7s per bushel;'the Commonwealth has sold the bulk of its output. English experts predict a huge shortage for 1917 and 1918. This is not a time, for bullying, but to encourage the growing of wheat, and let the Government assist either by bonus or any other tangible form of encouragement. —I am, etc., P. VIRTUE.
