TURNIP MARKET DROP A sudden slackening of demand for turnips in the United States has played havoc with prices in this Province. Two weeks ago the Boston market was paying from $1.00 to 31-10 per bushel. One dea- ler attributes the fall in price, at least partly. to the increased ‘reefers’ and also the use of box cars which may carry as much as 1000 bushels, a large number of which havemarrivgd in Boston dur- lngrlhe" last fewnays. The ‘sonic’ dealer suggested that at the prices offered at present. it will be to the advantage of the far- mer to use his turnips as feed rather than try to market them.

Almost all decisions were poll- tlcai. The Board's decision, on the basis of past performance, would be "fair and right.”

CAMPBELLTON, N. 3., March it-lcPi-Soores of married wo- men ilave amend Canada from European refugee camps by fai- soly claiming single status. a Po- lish domestic said today.

Brown-haired Vita Beorovlt. admitting that she herself was married, said that many othe. girls had been admitted to the Dominion by giving the same false information.

Tho tiny domestic made her statement as officials of the sol- dier's hospital here. where she is omlployed. disclosed that two other refugee workers had quit their hospital duties and loft for On- tario.

‘Plley had not served the full year they had agreed to wars when they came to Canada about two months ago.

Other "disturbing reports" con- coming workers from the dis- placed persons camps also came from local charitable organisations who escorted the girls from the boat ln Halifax to Campbeliton.

The Prtnlier said the Province had redeemed 34.000000 in bonds Nov. 15. 1047 reducing its debt by that amount. This also would save some $200,000 annually by elimin- ation of coupon rates and sinking funds.

Not All New Money

Mr. Macdonald said he wishpd to make it. clear that“only about $3- 000000 of the Federal tax grant Was "new money" as the Province had to give up sources of revenue totalling some $6,000,000 to qualify for the agreement.

Mr. Connolly said "tho funda- mental need is for capital to be made available to the little man” for a revival of Nova Scotian in- dustry and the Government recog- nized this by lts project of a loans fund for new industries,

The fund would be made avail- able to men with a knowledge of industry and of proved managerial ability who were handicapped by lack oi money. HOteIs were eligible for- consideration.

He emphasized "for the benefit o1 anyone who may have designs on this money" that "no man or group who can finance themselves" was ellgibleprrlle...funde.wouidc.bo‘ administered the Executive Council with the aid of an advis- ory bonrd of experts. -

Mr. Connolly said such a fund was necessary because chartered banks and the Industrial Develop- ment Bank of Canada dic‘ not meet the requirements of embryo Nova Scotiun industry. It had been hopfld earlier that the Industrial Develr opment Bank vrouid fill the need "but rliseouragemelnts have been too many."

“Surely it is not too much to ask." tho Minister said, "that this organization establish a central bank in the liiarltimes“ to el'r:nin- alo long-distance dealings.

"Anticipating criticism that the fund would be considered insuffic- iont in some quarters. Mr. Connolly sold. "I see in it 50 new enterprises in 50 different locations."

“We have reached the point in our history,” he added. whit-ere it is necessary to prove to ourselves, if to no one else, that we are cap- nblo of greater industrial enter- prise."

Hospital officials said that the other two girls had loft for the Kitchener area of Ontario and Mrs. Beorovit said they were working near Kitchener.

Tho Newcastle Disease of poultry which in previous years was con- fined pretty nsuoh to European countries folmd its way into the United States and outbreaks of this disease were reported in some sections of the United States dur- ing ilho past two years.

Tho disease which is capable of causing a death rate of 1' ‘ percent in chick; appeared among poultry and young chicks in a section of Canada. The source of infection is believed to be unclesnod live poul- try crates. The mortality among infected young chicks has been lligh 1-4 up to 100 percent. ‘Iihe only outbreak in Canada is under control and it is expected that complete eradication of this dis- osso will be effected in the near future.
