Gagan wrote one of the Cabinet Ministers at Ottawa about taking the duty off lambs and mutton coming into Canada from New Zealand and Australia. J. F. told the Minister that ho didn’t object to them taking the duty off the lambs he had to sel^ if they would take it off the supplies he had to buy. thanked him for the letter (we saw it) and told him he would do what he could but he said he was rather in the dark as to what he meant by supplies for a sheep ranch, asked him if he hud reference to "contfentp-ated foods." J. F. was rather surprised that this Minister, next in power to the Premier, should be talking this way about the supplies a man needs. The Minister apparently thought he had about ten or fifteen sheep and the concentrated food would be bovril or such like. J. F. had long list of supplies that he intended to tell him about. This year he bought a washing machine for the-family on his sheep ranch and he paid $189.00 for it and he says the same washer in the States, (his daughter had one identically the same) cost uhem $135.00 making a difference of $54.00. Then J. F. said he had to buy two mowing machines which would be another $25.00 duty, as the.duty on washers is 25/> and on mowing machines 12-^. H6 has to pay about 19/ a hundred duty on all the salt he supplies to the sheep camp and this (Continued ovor) So th© Minister wrote back and a I Mr. J. y, Jagan - Continuod. would amount to quite a lot for J lieves in giving the sheep plenty of salt. He bought a car this summer on which he paid about $300.00 duty. J. F. says he is about the only sheep man in the country who doesn’t have a truck. If he had a truck it would be another $200.00 duty. He has to hire most of his supplies hauled out to his Milk River raqch; coal, salt, lumber and hundreds of other items and wire (he has probably 40 or 50 miles of fence) carries a heavy duty. All' the tools used at the ranch and all the clothing he pur­chases bears a heavy duty. This year he probably paid over $500.00 duty on supplies purchased, yot the cabinet minister figured a few pills or concentrated mineral mixture would be all the supplies a sheep man requires. It just goes to show what the rancher is up against in trying to make a living and in trying to get the Golden Rule put into practice. Every ran­cher and farmer in this country pays hund­reds of dollars duty yearly. That is our trouble today; we have no practical men at either Ottawa or Edmonton.who understands the rancher's’ problems. --------------- -------------------M------------------------------- ----- Mr. W.
