Different Phases Of The In- dustry At Quarterly. Meeting Of The Board Of Trade.

The following informative ed- drcss on "Dairying in Prince Bd- wo-rd Island" was delivered by Mr.

' ,W. L. Brenton, Dairy Superinten-

, dent, at the quarterly meeting of ' the Charlottetown Board oi Trade last night.

The Island is specially adaptedto Dairying and the Dairy Business is the most important industry in our Province.

In 1904 the output oi Butter and Cheese showed a considerable de- crease, laigely owing to inclement weather and two dry summers in succesion, causing the drying out of the pastures. The trend oi the Dairy Business throughout Canada was from Cheese to Butter, the total make of cheue decreasing ab- rut 18,000,000 pounds. But, figuring his out in pounds butter-fat, we ilnd the increase in will! number >ounds butter manufactuiecl cifset he lose in cheese and the Indus- try as a whole showed a. slight gain. The prices for Butter and

' Cheese were better than in 1933

andwhilenotashighns nnyofus would wish, compares favorably with my other country for the year. The Storage Stocks of both utter and cheese were alarmingly high thzoughotit the year, but dur- ing the early months of this year, the stocks have gradually decreas- ed. Rumor has it, ajconsideirable amount found its way across the line to our big neighbor, whose buttcr prices have rapidly l4- vaneed. during the lest few monthe.

The reason for the change over from Cheese to Butter inithe other Provinces as well as our own, was that for the past few years, butter- mnldng has been considered more profitable than cheese-making. Now this has brought. about the danger of Canadian Butricr prices being placed on the export market basis, which if this had taben place in the summer and fall months, the Federal Dairy Com-_ misioner claims would have lower- ed the price received by iive cents per pound.

Ont. Legislature A

(C. P. By Guardian's pccinl Win)

TORONTO, April l0-Tempers flared in the Ontario Legislature late today as opposition leader George S. Henry charged Premier Mitchell Hepburn "deliberately de- eelved" him last night as to when the bill terminating Quebec power contracts would be discussed in committee.

Into the quiet of a chamber where legislators waded- wearily through a series of bills in pre- paration for another lengthy night session. Mr. Henry arose just be- fore dinner adjournment and charged he wrote a note to the Premier last night asking- what bills would bc discussed in the all- night session but Mr. Hepburn did not say the power bill would be disc ’ in committee.

The charge brought an angry denial from the Premier and pre- cipitated a series oi heaicd ex- changes betwee him and the op- position lesder. culminating in Mr. Hcpbun-rs announcement the mu which passed committee early to- day would come up for third read- ing tomoyrow.

Earlier in the day Mr._ Henry had asked who instructed the clerk to insert in Monday's votes and proceedings that the blll received second reading and would move up "tomorrow" for committee discus- sion. The former premier declared Monday's session did nm end until the House adjourned at four o'clock this morning and House records were incvrrect.

WASHINGTON, April l0-—An- other short wheat crop for the United States was indicated today in the first Department of Agri- culture forecast.

A winter wheat production of 435,499,000 bushels was predicted as compared with 405,034,000 bush- els produced last year and a five- year average of 0l8,180.000 bushels.

‘This, plus the 190,000,000 bush- eis spring wheat crop which See- retary Henry Wallace at his press conference estimated would result from the recent lifting of the 10 per cent acreage cut, would result in a total crop oi about 825199.000 bushels, only slightly above the total domestic consumption oi 625.- 000,000 bushels. -

There were possibilities that this

estimate might be high. The weather bureau reported that dur- ing the past week dry conditions and new dust storms continued in the most severely affected drought area of the western great plains and the crop reporting boards mentioned the dry siege.

Condition of pastures through- out the country was reported at 88.7 per cent of normal, e. low point ior this early in the season. To complicate the difficulties, a shortage of feed with livestock on short rations was reported in prac- tically all states.

Officials were concerned over the crop production situation, realizing that any large curtail- ment of production through ad- verse weather would create a ser- lous situation because of the low ebb in farm stocks oi feeds.
