E ACH year, Canada routes 120,000,000 bushels of wheat, or about 60% 0 f her export through the 
United States on its way to Europe. The United States gets the freight charge return —and 
no more! This wheat passes through our ports to turn the wheels of foreign mills— to depress 
the world price for wheat and to lower yours. 
You, Mr. 
Freight Bills-or Dollar Bills 
No tariff can change this condition. The one factor that 
determines whether you are to receive much or little for 
the wheat you grow is the world price level which is 
fixed in Liverpool, England, and which varies with the 
supply of wheat in the world market. The average 
amount handled in the world market is 650,000,000 
bushels—of which Canada supplies almost a third. There¬ 
fore, if any part of Canada’s wheat can be kept out of the 
world market, the natural result will be an increase in 
the price you get for your wheat, at home and abroad. 
The millers of this country, who are the farmer’s best 
customer, buying about 80% of his wheat each year, have 
suggested a plan to stop Canadian wheat in transit, mill 
it in American mills, by American labor—and export it as 
flour under American brands. If this plan is adopted it 
will mean — 
More U. S. wheat milled at home--More money for your 
wheat--More and cheaper dairy feed— More fertilizing ele¬ 
ments for U. S. Farms--More work for American labor. 
To accomplish this , let the American Miller buy Canadian wheat, pay the 
duty and when he exports the same amount of flour , give him back the 
duty. The flour MUST go abroad--otherwise he loses the duty he has paid. 
T HE first thing this plan will do 
will be to increase the use of 
American wheat in American 
mills. If the miller is to get back 
the duty he pays on each 100 pounds 
of Canadian wheat he must export 
100 pounds of flour. But the 100 
pounds of Canadian wheat makes 
only 70 pounds of flour. Therefore, 
he must use 43 pounds of American 
wheat to make the total 100 pounds 
of flour which he must export in 
order to get his duty back. As the 
farmer gets more for his wheat from 
the American miller than he does in 
the foreign market, every additional 
pound of wheat used at home will 
help to raise the price of wheat. 
The plan will also increase enor¬ 
mously the supply of mill feeds which 
our dairy industry needs so badly. 
Every 100 pounds of wheat milled 
produces 30 pounds of dairy feed. 
Each million bushels of imported 
wheat milled and re-exported as flour 
would leave in the U. S. 9,000 tons of 
dairy feed, in addition to the 4,000 
tons produced from the enforced use 
of domestic wheat. This will most 
certainly reduce the price you pay. 
It will mean, also, vastly increased 
fertility for U. S. Farms. 
The plan, therefore , while it helps 
the miller, helps you , the American 
Farmer , far more. It assures you 
a bigger home market for your own 
wheat and a bigger price.
