The Farmer and the Government.
A Toronto Star piece lauds Dominion Government support for Canadian farming in the early 20th century. It cites export growth, home market expansion, and the impact of Ottawa programs including the Agricultural College of Ontario, Farmers Institute system, seed and fruit divisions, dairy demonstrations, refrigeration on ships, Rail way Commission savings, and overseas displays. It concludes with a claim that government aid has brought farmers city conveniences by delivering mail to doors.
