Sir*—Are the wheat growers of Canterbury entitled to the support ofdairy producing farmers in their claim for protection by tariff -or sub- . sidy or for such sheltering of their, industry as results in a dearer loaf fo the consumer? -' If the wheat market is made'free for v the , importation of all requirements from outside, bread is cheapened and wheat lands converted into, dairying areas, would the saving to the consumer compensate for the probable drop in dairy produce values that might arise by the conversion of that great province into dairying? - Wheat' bounties, or Government support of prices in any form, have been the subject of so much controversy in the Dominion we should like to have the opinion of any readers who care to give a reply to either of"- these questions. I am, /yours etc., • " puzzled!
