Canada Study Links Government Costs to Farm Crop Values
A Canada study by W. Sanford Evans for the National Committee on economy in public finance, via the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, compares government spending to farm value of field crops. It shows 1913 expenditures equaled 50 percent of crop value, 1981 expenditures reached 216 percent, and 1927–1931 averages of crop value plus 1931 spending illustrate a shift where crop value no longer covers ordinary government needs.
