Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Her hands hold 'worthless' wheat. Widow Erna Moorhead and son gambled against wind; rain and frost to grow some of the best wheat in Saskatchewan - but now they can't sell it. A glut of grain has forced prices to an 8-year low; raising the spectre of disaster for many Prairie farmers. There's even talk of separatism if Ottawa doesn't do something fast. Other farmers have started a price-cuting war.
