Value Of Corn Imports Runs Into Millions and Duty May Be Demanded
Ottawa Canada reports that about 12,000,000 bushels of corn worth over 10,000,000 dollars enter the Dominion each year for non distillation use. The corn, largely from the United States and some from Argentina, feeds livestock in central provinces. Some western MPs argue eastern feed markets should favor prairie barley and other coarse grains. Calls to lower domestic freight rates persist. A stiff duty on foreign corn may be sought.
