PUBLIC NOTICES. A PROPHET HATH NO HONOUR IN HIS OWN COUNTRY. (A WARNING, OCTOBER 14, 1918.) WHY KEEP THE AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIES GOING, TO THE RUINATION OF OUR OWN, WHEN MONEY IS REQUIRED FOR WAR LOANS, SHRINKING REVENUE, AND EMPLOYMENT? TATE think the time has arrived to resuscitate Dominion wheat growing, ere it is too late, by putting our protective duties on a parity with the Australian ones, which have made Australia one of the granaries of the world at rqaeonable prices, as under normal conditions it has always had a* surplus. Under normal conditions, grain contributes about three-fifths of the Canterbury railway revenue, without mentioning its numerous adjuncts. If grain growing' is killed, what would make good the railway and labour deficiencies, AS ON THE RAW MATERIAL THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO LABOUR HANDLINGS, but notsoonthe imported manufactured articles? Just imagine North and South Canterbury find North Otago huge sheep runs, and would not '■ this serious ‘ and shortsighted innovation AFFECT LAND VALUES AND ALL KINDS OF LABOUR, augmented with the shipping ports Lyttelton. Timaru, and Oamaru in a state of collapse? WITHOUT BRAN and SHARPS, HOW WOULD OUR BACON. DAIRY, POULTRY, and CARRYING INDUSTRIES EXIST IN THE EVENT OF AN AUSTRALIAN DROUGHT? IS IT BUSINESS-LIKE TO SEND OUR MONEY TO AUSTRALIA FOR OUR FOOD SUPPLY WHEN IT IS SUBJECT TO DROUGHTS, AND FOR WHAT WE CAN GROW IN ABUNDANCE IN THE DOMINION—AS ABOUT HALF THE VALUE IN ALL INSTANCES IS LABOUR AND RAILAGES. IND WITH OUR LADS RETURNING EMPLOYMENT MUST BE FOUND FOR THEM. OTHERWISE THEY WILL GO ELSEWHERE, AND WE WILL BECOME OBSOLETE THOUGH IN OUR INFANCY. We remain, Yours truly. P. VIRTUE, Manager,.
