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 deficients, as on the raw material there are always tvro a labour handlings, but not so on the imported manufactured articles ? Just imagine North and South Canterbury and North Otago huge sheep runs, and would not this serious and short-sighted innovation affect land values and all kinds of labour, augmented with the shipping ports Lyttelton, Tiuiaru and Oamaru in a state of collapse ? Without bran and sharps, how would our bacon, dairy, poidtry, and carrying industries exist in the ovent 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 tho Dominion ? —as about half the value in all instances is labour and railages, and with our lads returning employment must bo found for them, otherwise they will go elsewhere, and wo will become obsolete though m our infancy.
