C. N. R. Frepares for - Coming Tourist and Grain Crop Rush.

(special to the Guardian)

MONTREAL, Mar. li-With the placing of a large order for freight mid passenger car equipment for uso on the Canadian lines of the system. tho Canadian National iluilwsye are preparing for the summer and autumn traffic which it is expected will break all records this year.

'l‘he order is n. large one, calling. for the building of 1,000 siiity inn box cars, 150 fifty ton convertnble ballast cars, 50 cnbooses, 500 gen eral service car, 20 all steel bag-

gage cars, 20 all steel first class passenger coaches and 15 all steel 1 , mull and express cars. Every blieadlnan. ltelu of the equipment. will be

built in Cunado at plants in Mont real, Hamilton, New Glasgow and Amherst, Nova Scotia. The order for box cars is being placed to add to the equipment necessary for the proper handling of grains from the Western provinces and these cars will be itsed almost entirely in the movement of crops. This traffic is growing'yearly and makes big demands upon the equipment of the system ‘as that portion of Western Canada which is served by the Canadian Nation- ul Railways is considered to be the host grain producing section of the \l'est and the cine which contains the largest amount of land cap- able oi producing heavy crops an~ uually. These demand-s will grow as the country becomes populated and it will be necessary to main- tain increasing numbers of grain car-s in that ares through the year. Similarly heavy increases in pas- seugcl‘ and _ freight traffic. through ilio system generally‘ lihve made

Probe Receives Re-

tort From Witness

Whose Statements He Boubted.

(Canadian Frees)

ST. JOHNS, Nfld., Mar. 5. —-R.oyal Commissioner Walker who is in- quiring into alleged governmelutal irregularities during the years 1920 1921, and 1922 appeared angered at the reticeuce of one of the witness- es at today's hearing and express- ed wn. uncomplimentary oplalou of the Newfoundland appreclatioir of the importance of an oath and the careless way in which some New- fouadlnuders testify while under oath. The witness who was being examined, retorted by stating that he llflll told the truth in respect to matters on which he had been questioned, and advanced the opinion that it was not his business to act as a volunteer information bureau on matters not submitted for his testimony. it is generally conceded that the proceedings of the commission will end within a fortnight and that the local legis- lature will be convened about the last week of this month.

Today's session of the inquiry was occupied with e. continuation the investigation of the affairs‘ of the Model Farm inaugurated by and conducted under Hon. Dr. Campbell who is now being called upon to accou-at for his record as minister of agriculture and mines from 191.9 tn 1923. Beyond the re- velation of further large expendi- tures and extraordinary prices charged the government for sup- plies of various kinds, there was no outstanding developments to- day. .

During the cross-examination of Albert Bayley, secretary for the Newfoundland Agricultural society . R. I-lowley, K. C., Dr. Camp- bell's counsel, established the fact that the foreman for the Model Farm rendered prolonged and im- portant services for the farm. and that no charge or claim there- fore, had been made to the depart- ment. Wlnsborrow, the electric- ian who wired the cow barns and pig pens at the farms. told Mr. Howley that he got his instructions from o. subordinate in the depart- ment of agriculture and that neith-

opened yesterday afternoon in the Technical School. The president, Mr- J- R- Mumr. was in the chair. The directors‘ report, published be. low, showed that. over 780,000 doz- ens of eggs were handled by the Association during 1923. This was a smaller-number than the prev. ions year, but the latter part of 1923 was busy and 1924 prnmigeg to be a banner year for business. The financial statement and audit- or's repertoire published in full below, were also read. after which there was an address by the com. missioner of Agriculture and an in-. terestiug discussion on various matters connected with the As- soclatlou.

Hon. J. H. Myers, Commissioner of Agriculture, expressed his pleas- ure at the exceptionally large at- tendance. _ Referring to the Agricultural short courses aow being held throughout the Province the Com- missiousrgave credit tothe mem-

The business men did

They had the monopoly of the trade and the

lowed to sink to a very low level under them. They did not seek to educate the farmer in produc- tion lines. The advance has been achieved by farmers themselves, working together in a cooperative way. Today the merchants have changed their views and are wak- ing up to the fact that the farmers are changing from credit custom- ers as they too often were, to cash customers; and that their success has brought more money into the

round.

The egg collectors have had dif- ficul-tles to meet. ~ it is argued sometimes that the standard of the association is bothersome and that, the merchants are not so particular in receiving eggs. But this stand- ard ls exactly the valuable feature of the system and if it were doue away with the egg business would soon go back to what it was twen- ty or thirty years ago.

We must cut politics out when any co-operatlve movement is und- ertaken, said the Commissioner ‘amid applause. This lesson, of grading and co-operative market- ingtaught by the Egg and Poultry Association should‘ be taken up by the dairy industry of the province. incidentally the purchasing of dairy

It was regrettable that the agricultural grant is to be withdrawn, he said.

Some criticism had been made in regard to the Exhibition prize lists at a previous farmers‘ meet- ing. Mr. Myers had asked ‘Mr. Snmllwood. Secretary of the Prov- incial Exhibition Association if he would be willing to have u repre-
