Found Remedy

For Disease

‘In Turnips

Associated with the discovery oi what is claimed to be a remedy for brown hcnrt in turnips, made by plant pathologists at the Experi- mental Farm, Fredericton, N.B., is the name of Mr. I... J. Howatt, M.Sc., technical assistant, who is a. native oi Prince Edward Island, a graduate of McGlll . University holding a Teaching Fellowship, from McGill in 1934, and was formerly plant path- ologist at the Experimental Station here. Mr. Howatt worked in close co-operation with the pathologist- in-charge, Mr. D. S. MacLeod, in achieving the important results achieved at Fredericton.

As a result of extensive field tests and much laboratory work the pathologists were able to determine that Brown Heart ls a physiological disease caused by a deficiency of the element boron in the soil. It taxes only one part of boron to a million parts of soil to make turnips thrive but any loss is apt to result in brown heart, Mr. Brown states. The Fredericton Station field tests proved that 10 to l5 pounds of or- dinary borax, in finely powdered form, applied directly in the drill with the seed, was effective. In practice the borhx was mixed with five to ten times its weight of dry earth. This treatment has been successfully tested in British C0- lumbia, Ontario, Quebec and in Great Britain.

REIHESTFUR INTERVIEW

P r e m i e r Campbell Shows Displeasure At Criticism Of Press and City Council.

Displeasure at criticism of the Government's attitude on unemploy- ment relief was expressed in a sharply-worded letter received yes- terday by His Worship Mayor Ken- nedy from Premier Campbell- It

reads as follows: Charlottetown, P. E. I. February 6, 1036.

His Worship Samuel Kennedy, M.B.E., Mayor of Charlottetown,

Charlottetown, P. E. l. Your Worship: ' i

With respect to your Council's re- quest, fcr an interview this morning with representatives of the Govern- ment, 1 may say that I have had a long conversation with the City re- presentatives in the Legislature, ivlessrs. Prowse and Trainer, and I have come to the conclusion that it is much better to defer the proposed interview until after the coming Civic elections. I feel that. this mat.- ter can be dead. with much more satisfactorily by the Government in conference with an ln-comlng Mayor and Council, which will be in charge oi the City's aflairs for the following year. ‘

In the meantime, I must repeat my depreciation of any attempt either on the part. of the City Coun- cil or the press to make political football oi the unemployment relief situation. ‘Ihe Government of the Province has endeavored to deal with this matter in a fair and non- partisan manner. but I must point out that in order to achieve this object we must have the cc-opera- tlon of the City Council. I greatly regret the unfair criticism which was set out on the front page of yaterdays Guardian. and followed up by its editorial notes in this morning's issue. Even the wording of the so called order-ln-council, which was really only a recommen- dation of the Treasury Board, was, garbled and mutilated in an obviou effort to make political capital. The actual wording of the Treas- ury Board Minute, iis is well known to yourself and members of the City Council, is as follows:

The Board having under consider- ation the payments to the City of Charlottetown and the incorporated towns within the Province oi funds to be expended by said municipality and incorporated towns for the pur- poses of direct relief within the con- fines oi said city and towns, did and doth hereby authorize the payments to said municipality and incompre- ted towns of the following sums: . To the City of Charlottetown for each of the months of January, February and March, this year the sum of three thousand dollars ($3- 000, provided that the said City oi Charlottetown in each of said months spend the sum of four thou» sand five hundred dollars ($4.500) or more. - The twice repeated garbling of this Minute which appears in the Guardian's front page report of your Council meeting is obviously calculated to mislead and has mis- led a great number of the citizens of Charlottetown. The whole tone oi the report of the City Council's meeting seeks to leave an impression on the citizens of Charlottetown that the Provincial Government has ‘ ‘ ii" re- ducsd the grant to the city for dir- ect relief. As you well know. this is not the case. but the payment re- commended by the ‘Treasury Board Ill‘ January. nbruary and March of year is exactly the oer-w l8 that which was received by the City for the corresponding months last . 0n looking over the City ox- ureo for November and De- cember of mo, we notice that the 0th had lllNtNitially reduced its eapeniiitiirea foimiiireet relief, as

Commission of Inquiry

A Royal Commission has been appointed to inquire into condi- tions in the textile industry, as the result of the closing down on January 18th of one of the textile plats in the city of ‘Sherhrooke, thereby occasioning, in rnidwinter, and at a time of unemployment, great hardship to hundreds of em- ployees and their families. My Ministers are of the opinion that industries should recognize an ob- ligation to cooperate in every man- ner possibie in continuing and pro- viding employment, and that lab- or and consumers have a. right to have their voice heard, and in- fluenee felt. in the control of in- dustrinl policy. Where these ends cannot be effected through volun- tary cooperation of all parties to industry, my Ministers are oi’ the opinion that there are the strong- est of reasons for state interven- tion.

With a view to safeguarding the interests of consumers a full in- quiry will be instituted into rcp- rescntiitions which continue to hi: made to, ‘ing monopolistic con- trol of the importation and dis- tribution of anthracite coal.

I am happy to hc nlilc to inform you that a trade agreement be- tirccn Canada. and ilic United States of America irns concluded on Armistice Day, 1935. and that tlie trade dispute with Japan, which had seriously affected the trade of both countries, ivns tid- lustcd before the cnii of tlie nld year.

The Canada-Putter] States trade agreement -n~ili he submitted for your approval. You will nlso be forthwith nilviscii of the basis on which normal irnile relations he- tween Canada and Japan have been restored.

My Ministeis believe that the Canada-United States agreement will mark a. great improvement in Canada's international economic relations: also. that the principles embodied in this attrccmezit, ex- tended and applied with vigor and determination, will contribute to the reversal of tlie trend toward extreme economic nationalism. which has been undermining standards of living, and embitter- ing reiations- between countries all over the world. -

You will be pleased to know that the policy of the Canadian Wheat Board in selling wheat at com- petitive prices is bringing satisfac- tory results.

Dominion Provincial Parley

A conference between the Dom- inion Government and the Gov- ernments of the Provinces of Can- ada. was held at Ottawa during the month of December. Con- tinuing committees have since car- ried on consideration nf tlie more important subjects discussed. Amon: matters arising out of the conference, which will be suh- mitted for your consideration, will be a. proposal for amending tlie British North America Act, 1857. in iii-dei- to provide for certain fin- ancial arrangements between the Dominion and the Provinces. A committee of Dominion and Prov- ineiai repregqntutlvcs. Ippoinieii by the Dominion-Provincial confer- ence, is engaged in the consider- ation of a method and procedure foi- effecting constitutional am- endmenls.

,It is proposed to restore to Par-

liament its control over taxation and expenditure by enfllllk Ill meaaureii which have deprived

members of the House of Com- mons of this control, and which have servedto invest the exceu- tive with unwarranted arbitrary powers.
