CANADA'S DAIRY INDUSTRY

Discussion In House of Commons

' on New Zealand Butter Impor- tations Into Canada Elicits some Striking Facts From Ontario Speaker. A

" ‘The effect of the importation of New Zealand butter on the dairy industry of Canada was dealt with in the House of Commons on J1me 3rd by Mr. M. C. Senn, Conservative member for Haldlmand, Ont. Mr. Senns’ remarks, which will be of con- siderable interest" to the farmers of this Province. are reproduced from the Hansard reports:

Mr. Speaker, before you leave lhe chair, I wish to direct the at- tention of the government and oi the house to the very serious condi- tion of certain brancha of the agric- ultural industry, particularly that of dairying. Hon. Members on the gov- ernment benches are continually boasting of what they choose to call the abounding prosperity of the

. country. If the prosperity of which they speak is as general as they would lead us w believe, is should be shared at least by such an important industry as agriculture. I am afraid however, that they will have great difficulty in persuading the average farmer of the Dominion oi Canada that he enjoys that prosperity. The

Continual Exodus

My second reason for making the statement is the fact that there is a continual exodus from our rural communities. In many country dis- tricts it would be difficult to find a concession or even a. farm from which young men and young women have not gone to our cities and to the country to the south for the purpose of finding a job and making a living. It is entirely unnecessary for me to advance any further proof of the fallacy of the government's claims of prosperity. Members oi the government themselves, I believe, are more or less aware of the true state oi affairs in~ this respect. I think it was the late member oi Frontenac who, speaking in the house on the budget. quoted from a speech deliv- ered by the Minister of Trade and Commerece (Mr. Malcolm) some time previously in which he used these words:

The fact of the matter is, that the farmer is spending more today than 100 acres of landwill yield. ,

I am sure the Minister of Trade

poring today, and 1 intend and Commerce or any other mambo; w submit m m, house two of the government will not c011 6n “no” out o; ‘he many for a moment that the standard of

living of the farmer should be lower than that 0f any other class in the community, and it is surely a ser- ious condition of affairs when 100 acres of land will not yield a suffic- ient income to maintain a reasonable standard of living for the Owner 01' the farm and his family. The res- ponsibility for this lack of prosperity in the agricultural industry must be laid at the door of the present 80V- ernment. They must be aware oi the financial position of the average farmer, and if so. they have absol- utely failed to take any measures to assist him in improving his position.

that might be advanced for making such a. statement.

First of all, let me say that ever since this government came into oi- fioo in 1921, there has been s. steady depreciation in land values: In many communities, large numbers of fern-l holdings are being offered for lilo, and in many instances it is impossible to sell these farm hold- ings for the value of the buildings. themselves. In fact, from my own observation and experience I feel bhatlarnmfeirlssying thatland val- ues have depreciated by from 30, to d0 per cont during the‘ past seven or eight years, since this government lame into my power.

Importance of Dairying

Just as it is true that agrlculhlre is the basic industry of Canada, it is also true that the foundation of agriculture l! dslrying. In. all the lprovinces the average farmer, while producing other lines oi farm pro- ducts, produces s considerable culmi- ity of milk. 1t will-be found that in the central provinces, in the Mari- tirnes and in British Columbia every fennel" is producing dairy products, and prior io s. short time ego it wu true that the dairy business was ex- panding quite rapidly in the prairie provinces also. The dairy business cannot be built up in b day or a month or l. year; it takes’ a number y“?! FWIRY F0 equiv I i111?!

statement that I am going to make, but I am sure that hon. members on this side will very largely agree that the greatest factor in stabalising prices of farm products, with the ex- fcbticn perhaps of wheat is the home market li-lell- The continued invasion of our home market by foreign pro- ducers has done much touzreste a lack oi confidence in the mind of the dairy farmer and discourage him. In fact it has brought the industry sl- most to the verge of disaster. On the one hand we find that the ter of Agriculture (Mr. Motherwell) and the government are spending large sums of money every year to aid the dairy industry by regulating the standards of dairy produce, by pro- vision for proper grading of dairy products and the accreditation oi dairy herds, while on the other hand the other hand the government has sat quitely by, absolutely neglecting the most important matter oi all, that of taking proper measure to retain the home market for Canadian pro- ducer. Other countries are doing ev- erything within their power by means of tariff duties and, regulations to safeguard the interests of their ag- ricultural population. We have a concrete example of this in the rec- ent action o1 the Congress of the Un-, ited States. Not content with the pro- visions of the lbrdney-lidcCumber tariff, they have taken more extreme measures to assist agriculture, while our government, knowing the condi- tion of the Canadian farmer as they must know it, sat quietely by. in- active and impotent. Although there has been and is iao-dsy s general de- mand that the duty on poultry pro- ducts be increased, the government has done absolutely nothing; indeed, in some ways it has been worse than negligent. Lest year. by rescinding the order in council giving the Min- ister of National Revenue power to set l fair market value on natural products, it worked a great injury to the fruit and vegetable industry, while in other ways, especially by its trade agreements, as has been re-

grade. In the yen- 1927 the produc- tion of milk in Canada was reduced by some 340,000,000 millions pounds. The figures are not available for 1028 but it is only reasonable to sup- pose that when the population of our dairy herds decreased by some 100x100 milch cows, the pd "uction of milk in the same period would also show s decrcsu. I do not intend, how ever to go any further in that phase

Further figups which I obtained from the Bureau of Statistics show that the number of dairy cows in Canada decreased in the year 1928. by some 102,000. On the other hand the statistics‘ show that while this de- crease has been going on in Canada. the number of dairy cows in New zesland has been increasing by some 00.000. If the dairy industry in this country were in a flourishing con- dition one would naturally expect that the population of our dairy herds would be increasing. and that our milk production would also be on the uP-Iflde. However, we 11nd that our milk production is‘ not on the up-

peatedly pointed out by hon. mem- bers on this side of, the house, it has materially injured the farming in- dustry, particularly dairying. The or- der in council oi September, 102d. extending the provisions of the Aus- tralian agreement to New Zealand is a striking example of this very thing. I wish to show brfOfly—I l-m not going to quote many figures- the effect of the New zeanud agree- ment on the dairy industry and upon agriculture generally in Canada.

“Synthetic Sin”

If Colleen Moore were not already established as the most delightful eomedlenne on the screen, her por- trayal in “Synthetic Sin" would pllce her at the top of the list,

Fbr “Synthetic Sin," which opened last night at the Prince Edward Theatre for a run of 2 days. is un- questionably one of the most enter- taining comedy-dramas ever to be filmed. due largely in the clever work of vivacious Colleen in the stellar role. Combining qualities of humor, t" and melodrama in a far stronger plot than most comedies contain, this laughable picture is fully deserving of the “usissm with which it was greeted by last night's audience.

"Synthetic Sin" is the story of an unsophisticated little girl from Vir- ginia, whose ambitio to be a great actress leads her into a series of adventures as amusing as they are exciting. Having failed dismllly in her first stage appearance, she de-
