MacArthur issued no public summary of his year.

Ottawa Aug 14 Trade Minister MacKinnon said in the commons that the participation payment to western wheat farmers on their 1944 crop will be considerably higher than the 16 cent rate previously announced. Estimates suggest the 1944 share may exceed 16 cents per bushel, with the 1945 payment likely lower. The payment is above the base price of 1.35 dollars per bushel and is a share of profits from wheat sales by the Canadian Wheat Board.
