Too Much Expensive Machinery

Urges Diversified Farming To Bolster Rural Economy

"if the tendency to equip farms with large units of power machin- en" 'reases,.we can expect our fa;-m population to be further dec- reased," said Hon. Eugene Cullen, Minis' o” Agriculture speaking in the budget debate yesterday.

Mr. Cullen said that the smaller

farms could not make it pay when .0 i

a large portion of the farm income was required to pay for tractors and

year are 3500.3". Of this amount st00,t30 would be recoverable in TEVEIIUQ.

FALCQNWOOD FARM

Mr. Cullen said that never its

farm acquiring more land or the sma" farmer doing with less equipment.

if the Minister had any prefer- ence to take in this connection he seemed to lean toward the "Fam- ily farm" where crops could be grown that would produce a larger amount of take home profit for the farmer. These include the small fruits .- i vegetables of which he thought an abundance could be grown if the proper seed were used to produce the right variety.

The Minister said the estimates for agriculture for the coming

history had Faiconwood Farm pro- duced better crops than it had last year. Although it operated at a def- icit, the Flnlster predicted that this :1.-'.. be wiped out and in view of this has offered bonuses to the farm labor if they can come out.

He did not take any of the credit for the large crops at the Farm. He preferred to pass the credit along his predecessor, Mr. Bak-, er who .vas Minister up until last Summer. He reported that the cattle population had -increased frorr 68 at the beginning of the year to "u at the end of the year.

V TE "RY SERVICE

Mr. Cullen recalled that when the veterinary service was started on the Island it became immense- ly popu'.r. He said the Depart- ment paid subsidies to Veterinar- iea on lite basic of the density of po;:ulr" to be sewed. For" ex- ample the man at St. Peters was paid 33,500, the one at 0'Leary :7 20!) and those at Charlottetown Kensington, Montague. 32.700.

He considered this an equitable

' distribution of suosidles but it was

not Wng before the "Vets" at St. Peters and 0'Leary left. The first came to Charlottetown and the sec- ond came to Kenslngton.

Gulf Grounding Costs Captain His Certificate

LONI ON (Reuters) The cap- tain of the 5,206 - ton British freighter Loradore. which went agr: the Bird rocks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence last August. had his master's certificate sus- pended for six months Wednesday after a court of inquiry found that the loss was due to his fault or default.

The Loradorc went aground dur- log log while carrying coal to Mon- treal. For crew of 32 were saved but the ship was a total loss.

The court recommended that the master, Capt. G. W. H. Berry, should have a first mate's cert- iflcate during the suspension of his master's certificate.

The court found that there was no lookout on the forecastle for some time before the stranding of the ship, which was caused by bad navigation and the wrongful act or default of the master only.

As master of the Umgemi. Berry was mentioned in despatches dur- ing the war for shooting down a German sea-raiding piano in the glorth Jtlantlc by machine - gun

Members Find System Poor S

Heated controvery followed the t ”' in the Legislature yester- day of Select Standing Committee report on the revising of the Jour- nals. The Committee is made up of members Harvey Douglas (Lib- eral), Second Kings; L. G. Dewar (P.C.), Second Prince and M. Mor- ley Bell (Liberal) Fifth Prince.

The C recommended that consideration be given to re- cording questions and answers in th 0 journals of the House or in a separate volume which would include speeches and proceedings of the House. It also asked that such volume be printed in suf- ficient numbers for records and to provide a cop for each mem- ber of the Legls ature.

Mr. Frederick A. Large (Liber- al). First Queens noted that the present Journals of the House does not include the reports of all de- partments. He thought if these re- ports were important enough to be presented in the Legislature. they should be incorporated in a more permanent record.

Premier Matheson said that it had been the custom to record only the reports of the various departments such as Education. Health and Welfare, etc. He point- ed out that most of the smaller sub-departments prepared t h e i r own reports and it would require considerable expense to take them from the form in which they were prepared and make them suitable for Journal publication. He said that this suggestion of the mem- ber from First Queens could be taken under consideration and pro- bably canted out next year.

The Premier said he was entire- ly in agreement with the report. He thought speeches should be printed as well. "We are not do-

Time Bomb In Bed Fails To Kill Cyprus Governor

NICOSIA. Cyprus (Reuters)-A time bomb was found Wednesday, in the bed of Governor Sir Joh Harding, sandwiched in between, two mattresses on which he prob-.

Officials said the time mechan- ism of the bomb was set to explode in the early hours of the morning but was off by about 12 hours due to faulty mechani In.

The bomb was taken out to a pit around noon by a British of- ficer snd exploded harmlessly.

A young Greek Cypriot servant cmploye.l at Government House did not report for duty Wednes- day morning.

This was the second attempt by terrorists to kill Harding, who ar- rived in this British Mediterranean colony last October to crush ter- rorists fighting for union of Cyprus with Greece.

On Nov. 26. terrorists hurled two hand grenades at his table during a hall in Nicosia but the governor was not present. having decided at the last moment not to attend. Six persons were injured.

,Causeway Cou

"The people who oppose the causeway don't seem to be able to put forth any sound alternative to it as a means of connecting the Island to the Mainland." said G. E. Seville (Liberal), Fifth Kings speaking on the Budget yesterday.

He said there had been a con- siderable amount of criticism brought to bear on Mr. Kickharn, M.P. for the speech he made re- garding the causeway. "1 under- stand that Mr. Kickham was not aware of the full circumstances at the time he made that speech and he is now prepared to back a survey for the proposed cause- way along with everyone else who has so expressed this opinion."

Mr. Saville said the deficit on the present ferry was a million and a half dollars a year and there was every possibility that within a very short time when two or thret boats would be neces- sary to take care of the service, the deficit would increase to 33,-

000,000" he said. "I think that the Premier's proposal to have a sur- vey made was one of the wisest things that was ever done."

The Fifth Kings member thought it right that every member of the; House should speak in the debates. "The sum total of their speeches should give the Government a fair idea of how the people of this Province wants its affairs run."

Mr, Saville said that one of thcl greatest attractions to the tourist was the trout fishing which is to! be found here.
