The 1921 Wheat Crop.

It is time, therefore, to cease arguing over the merits of 

 guarantees, the dangers of low prices, the superb quality of our 

 pastures, or the tearful propensities of our climate, and to ^et 

 to work on the 1921 wheat crop. 



The farmer has been delivered from the war conditions and 

 war limitations of 1917 ; his labourers have returned, and he 

 is free to select the land which, in his judgment, is best suited 

 for wheat growing; he has had his " grouse " at the Food 

 Production Department, its methods and its officials; now let 

 him make his plans for autumn sowing; more than one of the 

 chief offenders of 1917 will be well satisfied if in 1921 he beats 

 the 1918 record.
