llraft Address

Government policies of paying t of the cost of the spray 24-13 for mustard weed eradication, andl at an insecticide for spraying cat- tle for warble fly. were outlined mgly in the legislature last week by Hon. W. F. A. Stewatj. Minister of Agriculture, in speak- n-lg on the Draft Address. no referred to the lincrease of the mustard pleat as a n-lenace to {gland agriculture. Grain fields at the Governmentlfarm had been practically destroyed by this pest. 3e described the remedial meas- 11115 adopted last year, when the 24-5 spray was used with on ord- inary potato sprayer and had had "a wonderful effect," without kllb

Discussing the warble fly, he

- said that if every farmer in the ‘ Province took advantage of the

Government insecticide policy the pest would be extermlnated with- in two years.

Mr. Stewart referred to the as- sistance given the establishment of a cucumber pickling plant last year, and stressed the inmortanse of the development of this tn- dustry to include other» small vegetables and fruits.

Mr. Stewart, as s member a! the Relief Committee, asked that all members who knew of persons in need of relief communicate with the Department of Health immediately. "Every inquiry W111 be investigated." he said, “and we will do our best to relieve the eon- ditions."

rseklns Plant Strike

Referring to the strike in the local Canada Packers Ltd. planet. he said it oocirrred just a; the farmers were preparing to market their peak loads of hogs. The em- ployees went out, not on b11911- own initiative but under orders from their Toronto he office. “My colleague and IND‘: said. “went down to the plant and we brought two of the head men here and discussed the situation with the Government; and we offered them higher wages than they were asking for!“ He reviewed the ev- ents following the strike, adding that "we were the only Govern- ment that took the pig by the tail. so to speak. Even the leader of the Opposition didn't have any hard words for us for taking over the plant." "

Mr. Stewart referred brieﬂy to the annual meeting of the Federa- tion. of Agriculture at Brockville, Ont, which lie attended, and at which there was much discussion onthc feed grain situation. "In Prince Edlward Island. we grow about 5,000,000 bushels of grain annually, most of 'it‘ mixed grain," he said. "We import the equivalent of another 2,000,000 bushels. I think it is a good thing that we do import this amount, because it is building up our soil fertility in a. manner which cannot be done by any other means."

Mr. Stewart commended the member for Georgetown, Mr. Sav- iile, on the personal attention he had given "lo keeping the Annan- Cole Pond in first-class condition as n fishing resbi-t. '

Begin Aerial Seeding 0f Forests In ll. B.

MJONCTON, N. B., Feb. 29.-(CPi —Aerlnl seeding, the first move made to reclaim burned-off for- est lands in the vicinity, was un- der Way here today.

New Brunswick Fiorest Service experts, directed by Assistant Chief Sealer Harold Hoyt of Fredericton. are carrying out the project in an attempt to speed u? timber reproduction in badly- burned Malakoff. Shediac and Moncton fire areas. First flights were made yesterday.

The officials said aerial seed: lng is still in the experimental stage and information was diffl cult to obtain because little had been done on the continent.

First move in the project was taken last fall when a collection of soft wood seeds was begun. The service fieid staff had collected seed cones and sent them to the field extraction plant at Frederic- ton. As a result of their work, a mixture of red and white spruce. fir and pine seeds is being used with seeding concentrated largely on crown land.
