The enforcement of these regula- tions will be very annoying,-. The necessity of proving that every consignment of food im- ported into the United States from Canada is actually Cana dian will scare American buy ers. They will naturally pay lower prices for Canadian farm products than for American farm products when they have to take the" risk of disputes with customs officials as to whether they are genuine Cana dian or ccme from countries overseas. Ask your neighbor this ques tion. " A Question for Farmers (From the Canadian Century) When we allow vast quanti- ties of food from Australia and the twelve favored foreign nations to come freely into Canada how are we going to prove to American customs officials that the farm products we are trying to send Across the United States boundary were really produqed in Can- ada? Will Farmers Gairror Lose When Canada's Door is Open? Is the United States Market Worth the Price We Must Pay for it under Reciprocity ? s emu-3 bacon of the Hams The municipal council of the Township of South Grimsby met pursuant to adjournment, at Brant'g Hall, Smithville, on Saturday the 18th day-of March, 1911, at IO o'clock a.m. Members present----]., L.

Best creamery butter in prints whole- eggs, live poultry, carrots, celery lettuce,onions, squash, tomatoes beans and cranberries all com manded higher priices in Mon- treal than in Boston. The best creamery butter was 1% cencs per pound higher, in Boston than in Montreal, while storage creamery butter was one cent higher in Boston. Dressed poul try averaged about the same in the two cities. Hay and oats were considerably higher in Bos ton. A table of ocmparative prices in Montreal and Boston the week the Reciprocity Compact was made was compiled by The Montreal Herald a Liberal news paper, with the assistance of a number of prominent produce dealers and food experts. Cheese sale hrime hrime )ucks Teese The Canadian farmer should compare the prices he obtains for his products in a small vill-. age near his farm, not with the prices in Boston, New York Chicago or some other large city in the United States, but with the phces obtained by farmers in small villages in the United States equally distant from the great centres of popu- lation. He must take into con- sideration not only the cost of transportation to the big cities of the United States, but also the middlemen's profitis. You lose your bet. During the fiscal year ending March 31, J910, 227,954 pounds of cheese were imported into.Can ada from Switzerland. The Cana dian customs tariff on cheese was three cents per pound. Is (it not reasonable to suppose lthat when the Swiss cheese can lcome into Canada free the quan "ity imported will increase rather than diminish? Prices in the United States Even if the Reciprocity Agree ment did not let in Australia, New Zealand and twelve foreign nations besides the United States, even if the favored nation treaties could be got rid of so that Canada could open its markets to the United States alone, the majority of Canadian farmrs would gain nothing by Reciprocity, while they. would take very great risks. Anyone who makes a careful study of the markets in the United States will note that the prices vary in different sections of the country. Boston. New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo, De troit, Chicago, St. Paul, St. Louis, New Orleans. and San Francisco all have different prices, and there is a Still greater variation in prices tin small cities, towns and villages throughout the country. 1 1 _ Reciprocity Agreement.
