The Speech from the Throne with which i . His Honour the Lieutenant Governor open- aiuioni but W" ed the Legislature yesterday is one of i,-x-Helen”-V dlsich ccptional interest and importance.

As already indicated in the Press, the ncwiFcdcral-Provincial tax agreement hlll he in the limelight. and a bill authorizing. its implementation will be introduced. Elec-1 toral reform, which has recently been wide- ly discussed at Farm Federation meetings, will be dealt with by a special Legislative, committee. The members will be asked to; i . vote sufficient money to commence tliisicial a”a"'S 5” year the construction of a treatment cen- tre at Falconwood. A bill for the amalga- mation of all social welfare work wiii- be introduced. The per diem grants to hospitals will be raised. Teachcrsl salaries will be further increased, and additional encourage- ment to prospective teachers will be pro- vided in the way of scholarships. and to pupils in the form of increased textbook subventions. Reference is also made to the Government's proposal to use a large part of the new Federal grant for higher education. in providing scholarships and bursaries to third and fourth year students at Prince of Wales College.
Very important is the announcement that the estimates will be increased for live- stock improvement, new veterinary serv- ices, land clearance and drainage and the promotion of small -fruit and vegetable pro- duction, also that the forestry and fisher- ies sewiccs arc to be extended, the latter by providing draggcrs more adaptable to Prince Edward Island harbors and for op- eration in the Eastern Gulf. It is proposed also to extend the opening of sandstone quarries and to amend a number of statutes which are specified in the Speech. Among the bills to be introduced will be one con- firming the Revised Statutes to which ref- erence was made in these columns yester- day.
Announcement is also made that a pro- posal to provide a franchise to the Cana- dian National Railways to operate buses in- stead of passenger trains in all sections of the Province. except between Charlottetown and Borden will be presented for consider- "ation. and that a select standing committee. will be recommended to hear representa- tions for and against the proposed change.

ROAD MOVE COMMEND ED
l I i Sir,-The farmers have lomc: discouraging things happen froml time to time. but in your Westerni Guardian of March 7th there arcl some very encouraging signs. ii notice that. the Suminerside Board of Trade is starting a. campaign to help get. our country roads widen- ed. subgraded and ready for snow removal. Now I live on a road known as the old Malpeque Road. which connects two good farming sections. is in an almost direct line from Borden to Kcnsington. connects with the paved road to Charlottetown. and is also in line with the road to the National Park via Margate, Clinton, Clit- ton. etc.
We would appreciate very much. if the Summerside Board of Trade! would take this matter up with tiic' proper authorities. and arrange to have this road widened. subgmded and paved as soon as possible. am sure their agricultural at- tache. Mr. T. J. Inman. will give them nblc support. Mr. lnman has been an active member of the agricultural committee and has had close affiliation with the Government for years. To Summerside Board of Trade we would lay-Keep up the good work. for there are a lot. of farm- ers living on narrow roads who, would like to get. out in the win- ter and do business in Summer- side.

THE RUSTICO SITUATION
Sir,-Although I cannot wholly agree with the writer of the let- ter "Enjoying The Winter". which appeared in the March 7th issue of The Guardian, 1 am sporting enough to agree flint perhaps one- tcnth of his statements may be correct. The remaining nine- tenths are too trivlnl in occupy a serious mind.
As to the fuclsitunlionnt North llustlco. it was serious but not Brim. With no railroad at its back door. and its roads completely blocked by those so-cnlird "white battalions", and its residents not living in the woods where they might have been able to get. a load of wood. the little village was in a really serious condition. As for using the coal that belong- ed to the church and school, lines the writer of ”Enjoying the Win- ter" suggest, flint these institu- tions should have been closed? A: for the food supply. mainly the milk. I may state that the relidcnts of North Rusllcn would not be so selfish as to let the welfare of their own one hundred or more families depend entirely on the kindness of our six or seven farmers. Ever since they had their rondn paved. there was no need of having a large supply of food on hand. as transportation was not Qlifficult and it takes money to hold such things over for months. So you can well im- engine the reason why they were no unprepared this winter.
I would all: your correlpondent if he came from the land of Eter- nai Youth where there were no old people to get the old age pen- sion, and when the children did not get. the family allowance? The penlionl and allowances rc- celved in North Rulllco hlve been well deserved. Veteranl' allowab- ces?

Sassenachs Retain The Stone
(Montreal Gazette)
Bi-ltain'l onetime proud llogln that "what. we have, we hold" has' been firmly re-asserted by Prime Minister Churchill with lpectal regard to the fabled stone of Scone. Standing undaunted against. as renewed outbunt of protest. and controversy, Mr. Churchill has of- rlclally disclosed the restoration of the historic Stone to its tradit- ional restlng place. in the seat. of the Coronation Chair in West- minster Abbey.
Following the return of the Stone, there was a feeling in many quarter: that the bold raid on the Abbey, while deplorable on many eounta. had given impetus to the nationalist campaign and strengthened the Scottish claim to official custody of the relic. One suggestion advanced wl.l- that a compromise might. be effected by placing the Stone in Scotland. whence it was taken over 650 years ago to become Britain's Coronation Stone. and taking it on London only for the coronation of a new sovereign.
Mr. Churchill has made ltplatn he will brook no men compromise. His stand in essence is that San- senach England. having held poa- selslon of the venerable token for six lnd.n half centuries, intends to maintain it. in its traditional place and function. In view of the ' , symbolic role the stone has filled for over if cen- turies. first in the crowning of Scottish kings and subsequently of the sovereign: of Britain. ill value in not. easily discounted nor its custody lightly yielded.

IVIILLNEIVS SEED DRILL
"It affords us sincere pleasu : to announce that our feliow-lowns- man. Mr. George Millner, hasl at length obtained from Washington, D.C., letters patent for his admir- able seed drill. This document grants to Mr. Mlllner. his execu- tors, l.'IF., for seventeen years from the 30th May last. the exclusive right of 'maklng, using. and vend- ing to others to be used. the said implement.' a description of which is given in the printed schedule attached to the patent. The Ill- periorlly of this machine over any other seed drill hitherto invent.- ed, either in Europe or America. is. we believe. placed beyond all dispute. and Mr. Mlllner will now reap, we trust, an ample reward for the ingenuity and persever- ance which have enabled him to surmount all difficulties, and pro- duce nn economical and thorough- ly original agricultural implement that has given entire satisfaction to all who have fairly tested its capabilities.
"Of the machine itself it in suf- ficient tn say. at present, that it is simple in construction, is not easily put. out of order, and is so inexpensive as to place it within the reach of every farmer requir- ing its services. The saving of seed which it will effect is alone sufficient to warrant its introduc- tion wherevcr the cereal: nrc extenaively cultivated. The ease and expedition with which new- ly-plouzhcd and properly-prepared land can be gone over by this machine. is another important con- sideration.
"The width and beautiful reg- ularity of the rows. and the un- iform depth at which the precious grain is deposited in the loll en- sure the ripenimz of the crop with a regularity hitherto unattainable by any other process. The sim- plicity of the eontrivance by which the seed is covered with earth sufficient. to protect It. from the
deprcdatlons of birds. and the waste incident to oxccllive rain storms. and other drawbackl to
which the grain Iown broadcast is necessarily exposed in our. fickle climate. will at once be seen and appreciated by the most. casual ob- server. In all these respects. we do not hesitate to say. Mr. Mill- ner's machine stands unrivalled. "We would earnestly recom- mend the skeptical-if there be any-to pay an early visit to the fleldl of those enterprising farm- ers who have supplied themselves with these invaluable machinel. Benj. Wright, Enq.. Belmont, has one field of oats and barley of thirty-five acres. the whole of which was sown by one of Mill- ner'l machines. The Hon.
