Real Problem On Western; Wheat Crop There is no news before the pub- lic of Canada at the preseVff moment more 'mportant than thti season's crop of wheat. With practically all hw markets cut off by war, the farmer can sell very little outside Great Britain itself, and Great Britain has needed her mer- chantile marine so badly for other pie.i.sing j)urp<ises, she has not been able to assign vessels for the im- portation of Canadian wheat. The result? With Canadian eleva- tors bursting now because of the carryover of last year's crop, the western farmer is going to be forced to keep his wheat on his farm unless the British Government finds it poss- ible to take quick delivery of a large order. Here is the picture: In storage now, last season's crop, there are 270,000,000 bushels. This year's' crop is estimated at 534,000,000 bushels. That's a total of 804,000,000 bu. Using every available storaga sface Canada can take care of oii^'. 430,- 000,000 bushels. >> And that leaves ,'!74,000,000 bushels to be sold and delivered right away, or be kept in farmers' barns through- out the winter. If Great Bi'itain were to take de- livery this fall of 170,000,000 bush- els\ which are being held here for British call, and Canadians took 150, 000,000 for domestic use, there would still be some 54,000,000 bushels to be stored on farms. What makes the situation so im- portant to every Canadian is this. Unless the Canadian government steps in very shortly with an adequate solution to the threatened impasse, the country's citizens in western Canada are going to be hit so hard financially, the blow will shake the rest of Canada from coast to coast. It i.'' a problem that alone â€" it em- braces every community in the Dom- inion Government has pledged itself to buy the farmer's crop at a base price of seventy cents a bushel. Under the arrangement, the farmer got his money after making- delivery to an elevator. But now what ? Is the govemm«nt going to pay him for his wheat when he has no place to ship it? Will the government hand over seventy cents a bushel for gri-ain which may rot on the farmer's property because the farmer hasn't got the proper stor- age facilities? Economic experts, who know the west and the western farmer, answer "Yes," very emphatically. They have been pointing out for the benefit of the Wheat Board and members of the Government at Ottawa, that while the Empire fights for the sanctity of a contract, Canada, of course, must keep its word to the western farmer. But they emphasize, too, that action must be prompt if financial disaster is to be warded away fi-om the western province. Interesting development in the tense situation was a curious move on the part of certain political interes'ts at Ottawa to blame the banks, ele- vator companies and the western gov- ernments for the delay in finding a solution for the problem. Two i' Canada's most respected news serv- ices were fooled into publishirtg "semi-official" reports that the banks had refus'ed to assist in the problem. Both services later had to carry explanatory stories pointing out that the banks had not been asked to <lo anything specific in the n»atter, and further explaining that the problem was solely that of the government's and not the banks'. Premier Bracken of Manitoba set the matter out very simply but effect ively. He said: "The problem remains i-rys'tal clear. The Dominion Government has boiight the crop but because of stor- ng(v space shortflge has so far ari;&nged to pay for only one third of it. As a result, the western econ- omy will he short $80-$100 millions for the next two months. "This shortage can be provided or it can he withheld through the iii- stnimentality of the Dominion Gov- ernment aid by no one else." ^ BORN WAUCHOPE â€" At Mrs. Nuhn's Nursing Florae, Flesherton, on Sun- day, Sept. 2l>nd, Ut.lO. to Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wnuchope of Floshorton, a son.

It awakened many old mem- ories of some 40 years ago â€" some glad and some sad. I confess it was somewhat touching to see the sturdy young healthy manhood marching with heads held high, buoyed up with high moral coui-age. "God bless you, Tommy Atkins, here's your country's love to you." The cavalcade ot some 40 trucks went through Priceville Thursday morning, all the men joyful and hil- arious. We would like to have had' a word with Col, Rutherford, a friend for many years past, but had to be content to see him leading the- parade. >» ; GEO. E. DUNCAN'S SALE DATES J. H.
