Show THE GRAIN QUE QUESTION STION tiie tile question mooted by our correspondent pon dent D M mcallister McA nister Ulster in issue is one that is worthy of we have noticed a tendency on the part of bf our a agriculturists n the past to go to extremes if any particular crop fails to bring a good abood price one year there is almost sure to be less of it planted the next year and yet it is quite possible that such an advance v nc e ml might lit occur in the price of that product within a few months as to render it the most profitable crop that could be raised wheat has been lower in price and there has been less outside demand for it within the past few mouths months than ever before in the history of our territory but it is by no means certain that this condition of things is going to continue lude edthe probabilities are quite the other way the NEWS expressed the opinion some months ago that the impossibility of finding an outside market for the tiie surplus wheat of the territory nii nil might bt prove pi ove ose to be a blessing in disguise ane storing away of several years supply of breadstuffs bread stuffs by the producers m n rolv roises es a good deal of self denial when the same can be sold for a nood rood price but in this instance many had almost to do so per force as there was no sale for the gra erain grain I 1 n we are inclined to the belief that between now and next harvest there will be considerable advance i in n the price of breadstuff and we regard the suggestion of our correspondent that liose ilose who can afford it lay in several years supply is a good one we would dislike very much to have the surplus grain entirely shipped oat out of the territory especially at the present prevailing prices and we would be equally sorry in tit view of the prospective foreign wars and the de maud mand for grain likely to result there f romia the amers of the country were ivere to become in the matter of raising wheat while vye vie are still of the opinion as expressed heretofore that the agrical jurists of this country may profitably devote more attention to stock and rely more upon beef and wool is as products to export than grain wi we would not advise by any means thai that the raising of grain be abandoned nor hor have we any reason a to fear that such is likely to be the case notwithstanding the poor encouragement the far farmers have lately had in finding sale for their theu wheat we have heard f from roin various parts arts of the country where a greate greater breadth of land is being planted this year than usual and it is presumable th that at a good share of it is with smal grain t |
