Q We are profundly thankful to Almighty
God _or the abundant l'larvest_,»of the past year
.n<l%or the'1isppiness,,prosperity and content- lc lwllich abound in our fair alld fertile Prov-
If We rejoice that the health of His Grac-
ious Majesty King George the Fifth has been com ietely restored. _lt was the great privilege of n llions of his loyalsubjects throughout the u-or to hear ills Majesty’s voice when broad- cast rom Londo_n last January, as in clear ring- ing-loncs, he delivered -his inspiring message at
_ho Qpening of the give Power Naval Conference. l si cerely trust t t_ the deliberations of that
‘l0l1£2)\-ill make foi=_"~;`-t-_lie growth of international liar ny, unity andvgoodwill.
(43. The speech of His Excellency, the Gov-
ern General at the opt'-ning of the Dominion I’srl mont conveyed thc information that agree-
nleng have hc-en reachell hr-tween several of the west rn provinces and the Dominion of Canada. for tic rc-turn of their natural resources. I am lulpp§r_ to say that my Government has taken ad- -rzllltlge of this opportune time to press fllrtller
for lisettlelnent of the claims of this province. ngai t Canada. My Government has submitted
to ti? I-‘ederai Government a memorial, s copy of w 'ich will be tatbl-ed-in-this Legislature in due t-our . setting fort‘il`our claim for an increase in su sidy in lieu ol' public lands.
‘5. .A corllmunication has been received from
the I dcral (lovcrnnleut stating that the Audit lloar .of Callalia has been instructed to continue the i Tcstigntion into all ollr claims with a view of ar iving at an equitable assessment. The final ettlement must necessarily be a matterof :lrra cmentbetween the Federal and Provincial llove ments, and it is the purpose of my Gov- cl-nln nt to continue to make every possible 'ef- fort t secure a settlement which will be entirely satis ctory to the people of this province.
Ma
6.; Tile Department of Agriculture in pur-
suance of its policy, has continued to give assist- -ance towards the improvement of our live stock, :lnfl the extension of co-operative markcting.), The élccllent prices received for certified seed - nnrl high grzldc commercial potatoes, also for' hogs, Qieef. eggs, poultry, huttcr and other farm :‘rollll\':ts testify to the value of grading and
standardization and should be an incentive to ‘ncre __ed production.

7. Ilorse breeding has been assisted and en-
couraged hy re~introdllcing the enrolment of "talllohs and by the adoption of the Federal- Provincial bonus.

8. I: The services of Dr. Franklin, Research
Professor on the staff of the Massachusetts Agri-
olle were obt ined during i"= Pill# _
culturu C ‘es r'
season to investigate the possibilities of the exil- ture of cranberries in this Province, and I .nndmgs-wnl-\,¢_.g,t forth in the report of the Agricultural Department.
_ 9. Fur farming continues to make steady
‘nd gratifying progress along sound and stable llvles. At the Royal Winter Bair in Toronto last November, Prince Edward Island silver foxes cn;-1-lcd og( 85 per cent. of the awards. The initial exhibition held in’ Charlottetown *last
October was attended with a gratifying measure-
of success. .
10. In the construction, improvement and
maintenance ot our public road, the power machines purchased two years ago have done excellent work, and the Department of Public Works has sought to meet the needs of s. steadily increasing traffic, by providing a considerable r-ileage of well graded, well drained roads sur- faced with the best local and imported material.
11. lt is anticipated that at the close of the.
present year, practically all the roads in the province will have been gone over by the nla'ch- ines and put in a highly satisfactory condition. During the past year many wooden bridges have hccn replaced by steel and concrete culverts and ix is the intentiontocoutinue such permanent
work. _
12. At the annual meeting of the Good Roads
Association of Canada held in Cllarlottetowll last year and attended by delegates fronrnli parts of the Dominion, various phases of road making in thadiiferent provinces were dealt with. The valuable information presented and the_vlews exchanged will he of much benefit to _us in‘deal- lng with our local road problems.
13. There has been s good yield from our
fisheries and prices have been ‘fairly satisfactory. The Department of Fisheries at Ottawa has made arrangements whereby our fishermen are enabled to take a course of instruction in Hali- fax, practically free of charge, on a number _of important subjects including the latest methods in the preparation of dried, pickled and boneless fish. '
14. It is pleasing to note that the representa-
tions of my Government, supported by federal ynembers of Parliament, for improvement in our transportation facilities _have met with a prompt response from the Federal Government and that the contract has been awarded for the build- ing of a modern, powerful, oil-burning car ferry steamer to be put in operation in the year 1931. Extensive additions are also being made to the Bord n and Cape Tormentine terniinals. 1 I sm also ileased to note the provision made by the Federal Govtrnment in other respects for trafilc, and shipping 'requirements in this Province. Among the undertakings completed or now under way are the construction of potato ware- houses at shipping centres,_the dredging of many of our harbours, the repairing of our wharves, the building of the Lake Verde branch, and the standardization of the Murray Harbour railway.

18. During recess, the Royal Coml11iSBi0I1 0”
Ijducation appointed by my Government held r-:ssions throughout the Province and heard evidence from many witness-'~ on various mst-~ ters relatin to our educational situation. The
19.- The Commission's report will be tabled;
during the sesion. I trust the recolnmendationsl will be found of great value in connection with ' the solution of our educational problems. I alll F glad to note an increase in the enrolment and the attendance of pupils in the schools. The appointment of three additional inspectors has' made for closer supervision of school work and | further assistance tothe younger teachers.
20. Last July on a plehiscite being taken, :t
large majority of the voters declared in favour of the 'Prohibition Act. as it is now the law in this Province, and against the sale of alcoholic' liquors under a Government Control I -_‘. An i emphatic mandate 'of the people having beenl obtained in this way, the vigorous and effective enforcement of the Prohibltion»Act is being con-
tinued. . | 21. As a result of the work of lm expert
chartered sccoultant engaged by my Govcrn- ment' during recess, a simpler. more accurate nur_` “odern system of keeping the accounts in tin ‘ dideront departments of the public service has-_ been introduced. ,
' 22. _ Among the measures whicll you will bc asked to consider will be an Act respecting thc Probate Court, an Act for the Prevention of Fnuds in connection with the Sale of Securities the Motor Vehicle Act, the Audit Act, as well ll;
amendments to a number of existing statutes.
23. _ 'l_‘he public al:;unts for the past year, and _
the estinlstes of expenditure for the current year
v-ill be sllbmlttcd. The latter have been pre-| pared with every regard for efficiency and' economy and in the very best interests of the public service. __ _
24. I feel co::I.§:nt that you will discharge
;-our responsible duties with your characteristic zeal andfidelity. and may the blessblc of’ Divine
E
educational systems of other provinces and ccun_- '_

But she was versatile. For several

She went at these things gully, treating life not as I. problem to be met, but as a gallant adven- ture.
