sbsg two surf roads tp i protect the home market for canada more especially for ontario and quebec the stage is all set for a tremendous development ttyi the fabulous wealth of our north country now established beyond question needs only the assurance of honest and stable government tp attract capital and immigration on a scale that will inaugurate a period of unprecedented prosperity a few years hence in ontario there may easily be a population of 1000000 north of the great lakes and the ottawa river all of which means a big and profitable market for farm products that market should be reserved exclusively for canadian farmers elect a conservative government and it will be so reserved for the conservative party stands pledged to see that the canadian farmer is as adequately protected in this market as the united states farmer is in his as mr meighen stated at midland on august 3rd we will make it as hard for the american farmers to get their surplus shipments into canada as they are now making it dimoult for the canadian farmer to get his surplus into the united states promises are good but actions are better for the united states farmer the season for seasonable

heretofore in order to avoid breaking prices in his own market he has been accustomed to dump bis surplus production on yours in less than three weeks from the time it took office the conservative administration effectually stopped this practice by rigid enforcement of the dumping regulations what others have done you too can do i the farmers of canada have shown that they can march abreast of

produce in larger quantity and still be able to sell the increase without breaking the market produce in a better quality and obtain the premium to which he should thereby be entitled both hopes can be realized quickly and in full measuse through cooperative marketing 1 the proper procedure as regards organization the proper technique as regards standards grading etc and the proper methods of financing are now an open book that all who will may read and profit by in the five years he was in office mr king did absolutely nothing to bring the blessing of cooperative marketing within reach of canadian farmers but- mr meighen stands pledged if returned to power to quote his own words from an addiress delivered in ottawa on july 20th to put into force such a policy as will enable the farmers of canada to build up a marketing system which will compare in efficiency with that of any agricultural country in the world and this pledge will be carried out even as mr meighens pledge to stop the dumping on the canadian market of united states fruits and vegetables has already been carried out yours is the choice yours the responsibility on september 14th if you would unlock the double door to
