Farmers' Bonus For Less Wheat Crowing Urged for i jr wheat farmers to keep their land out of production was presented to the Senate Thursday by Senator John Haig Manitoba). Criticizing the government for its attitude toward agriculture and asserting that as far as wheat was concerned the West was in a "desperate state," Senator Halg suggested a crop reducing scheme railing for payment to wheat farmers of a bonus of $5 an acre on un cropped land, up to one third of their normal planting. He estimated this would result In reduction in wheat acreage of between 12,000.000 and 14,000,000 acres, and a decrease in production amounting to 240.000,000 bushels.

Cost of the plan would be about a year, but in view of the government guaranteed mini mum price for wheat of 70 cents a bushel, basis No. 1 Northern at Fort William and Vancouver, the actual saving to the government would be between $75,000,000 and JRO.OOO.OOO. Senator Haig estimated the total amount of wheat in Canada next year might be as much as 830, 000.000 bushels. Of this total 150, 000.000 might be consumed domestically and if it were granted that Great Britain would take 200,000. 000, that would leave about 500.

000.000 bushels. (Canadian whent in storage Nov. 1 was 448.228.612 bushels. He praised the government for establishing the 70 cent minimum for this year's crop hut said that the announcement of this policy last July had come too late. raaai: i Thorough in effect.

The pros ably after British reoccupation of Europe. It also assumed increasea consumption In Canada and the sale of 160 million bushels a vear to Great Britain, then, after llftine of the blockade, the sale of 160 million bushels a year to Europe for the next three years. Gardner Looks Ahead Over a fiveyear period, it all worked out neatly at 800 million bushels for Britain, the same amount for home consumption and 480 million for Europe total 2,080. million in five year. Taking the present carryover and an average crop of 380 million bushels a year for the same period, Mr.

uarainer estimated supply at 2,180 million bushels, leaving a carryover of exactly 100 million bushels five years hence. But he added that if meanwhile our sales or ju minion bushels a year to non Europenn countries continued, there would be no Canadian carryover, but a shortage of 50 million bushels. He estimated the Interim costs of financing wheat stocks at $620. 000,000, conceded that the present 70 cent price is not sufficient to keep the producer contented (or even cover hia total costs of production) and pointed out that anything more must come either out of the ultimate sale price, or out of the taxpayers. Then he tossed the puck to Hon.

J. A. MacKinnon, who, as minister of trade and commerce, responsible for the marketing of wheat. He had passed on the views of the British authorities to Mr. MacKinnon, who would "make the pronouncement he desires to make" when he was In a position to do so.

Mr. MacKinnon is not likely to be in any auch position for some time to come, however much he desires to. The British government has abundant stocks of wheat here and overseas, and Is not at dtan origin and I suggested that the present estimating its further needi United Kingdom might think it of food agreements, it was still more absorbed in his intimate description of the beleaguered but dauntless British Deo rile.

After treating the House to the first sample of simon pure politics it has heard from the government benches this 'session, and defending the past, present and future of his party, he got down to facts and figures on I the British food orders. Then he wound up with a picture of Britain 'at war that seemed to stir himself as much as It stirred the House. Cheered by House And notwithstanding the rough tumble that had prefaced it, i this earnest peroration was the first utterance to date that has I drawn real applause from every corner of the chamber.

People seem to enjoy fighting with Mr, Gardiner, and that makes It unani mous. His gusty references to the last election were all forgiven. Most of Mr. Gardiner's announcement regarding the food agreement was given In bulk figures, whirh added up to a $105,000,000 total for. fish, canned goods, dairy products and bacon.

It had to adjourn at 10 o'clock for lack of a speaker, even though the subject of wheat was on tap. That does not, however. imDlv that the debate will he rut short. It Is safer to assume I that parliament was just pausing to get its second wind. DETAILS OF AGREEMENT FOR BRITISH PURCHASES By The Canadian Preaa 1 OTTAWA.

Nov. 14 Agreements' for the purchase of Canadian food stuffs by Britain, announced in the! House of Common Thursday by! the cheese Canada can produce, I vegetables. and the whole of her prospective; hog surplus. In the matter of bacon, Mr. Gardiner omitted to mention thei price, except to say that the figure puid to the producer would, he, hoped, hold "a favorable relation ship" to last year's average.

Thei actual contract price at seaboara would, he conceded, be lower than the previous $18.01 per hundredweight, but he had not got it precisely in mind. The point, he emphasized was a minimum bulk return of $69. 300.000, as compared with the $52,400,000 contracted for a year ago. While the quantity agreed upon is more than 40 percent larger than the old contract, and Is expected to clear the Canadian market of bacon, he cautioned farmers not to take It as a basis for further expanding their output of hogs. It would be time enough to consider that, he said, when the present arrangement had been In operation for a year and had stood the test of experience.

Cheese is Wanted The agreements call for ship The fruit and vegetable agree ment' calls for the following, with pect therefore is that prices to the 19.19 values In brackets: Honey farmer will not rrneci me wnuitr 5034,0110 canned to reduction in the export figure.

The contract for $5,538,000 worth of canned salmon represents a slight reduction on the rate of sales, thus far this year, but the sale of other canned fish Is more than doubled and shipment of $3 367.000 worth of frozen cod will represent a clear gain. Canned fruits are up by a million dollars, and the grand total of $105,000,000 on Mr. Gardiner's food agreement compares with approximately $80 million for the last twelve months on the same items.

When It came to wheat, Mr. Gardiner built up a statistical picture that would have fascinated the late Broomhall. It was based on the assumption that the block side of Europe would last for two vears. and then be lifted presum and not export Wheat Suggestion Butter, poultry and eggs, if purchased by Britain, will be bought through the ordinary channels. Mr.

Gardiner made clear he did not go to Britain with authority to make an agreement on wheat, "But it appeared that in recent months about 70 percent of United Kingdom purchases has been of Cana desirable to maintain this percent t. from England, and teemed re task for Canada is to help hold theor a tota, goo.000.000 bushels. freshed rather than jaded ny aiong tne Brmsn cnannei ana month's mixture of war and nego i prepare for the future age." This would amount to about ltiO.000,000 bushels a year. Analyzing the wheat prospects for the next five years, the agriculture minister calculated total production In that period at 1,900.000. OoO bushels, on an annual average crop of 380,000.000.

To that total would be added this year's carry over of 280,000,000 bushels, making a grand total of 2,180,000,000 bushels for the five year period Canada would consume domes tically 160,000.000 buahels a year.

Britain will take Canada' entire surplus of Wilt shires, estimated at 425.600,000 pounds, compared to pounds delivered last year. The price under the new agreement will hold a "favorable relationship to last year's average price." Mr, Gardiner said, without divulging the schedule.

The new arrangement piumisra iu Exports to the United King dom would total another 800. 000,000 bughelg, figuring that Canada would continue to supply 160,000,000 bushels a year or approximately 70 pet cent of Britain's overseas requirements. "Assuming two years of blockade and then three years of offensive warfare or peace." Canada could export to countries now blockaded 160,000.000 bushels a year for Ihree years, or a total of 450.000.000 bushels.

These three totals added to 2,080,000.000 bushels, leaving a carryover at the end of five years of, roughly, 100,000.000 bushels. However, Mr. Gardiner added, If Canada continued able to sell 30,000,000 bushels a year to countries outside Europe which were not blockaded, ingtead of a surplus at the end of five years the demand would be 51,000,000 more than the supply. sition Leader Hanson and M.
