Production Low. -
In Comparison —
7 With th Imports}.

m' <A few days ago we 50 we heard a farmer
complain that = he could not sell his
fe stuff and he referred to. beef in. partic
mi aiar on that occasion. Another: may,
B who found it difficult to ‘sell hia - beef,
2 ind mutton at what he considered .a
\ fair price, opened a store and has been
ma doing pretiy, well and the consumer
me is making quite a saving. : “The ques-
BW tion of marketing local produce is .one
mm between the local producer” ‘and’ the
f local merchants. If farmers are not
able to sell what they’ ‘produce it is
me not because the market, is. over- -suppli- |
_ ef, In the way of meat it is safe to
say that 75 per ‘ent, of the meat con-

sumed. locally throughout the year is.

imported stuff, and this. applies ina
more or less degree~ ‘to all meats, ve
' getables and fruits.: It’ ‘ia not a lack
‘ofa home market, so much. as the pro-
ducer “nnd the retailer not: getting to-
gether.

This condition is riot, peculiar to this
particular part .of the ‘province. Just
