W C Good of Paris Ontario addressed the Empire Club of Toronto as a practical farmer and student of Canadian agriculture economics. He argued farming is a national interest shaping Canada’s fortunes and destiny, and showed five percent profit on farmer capital would still leave a 110 million deficit, while manufacturers posted a 260 million surplus. He warned high rural loss drives boys from the farm, and emphasized agriculture feeds all sectors and sustains city life via seed, lumber, and mining origins.
