Address M By l ltflnister of a l Agriculture

Activities in his own depart-

ment were reviewed in an ad- dress given in the Legislature last. week by Han, W, F. A. Stewart. Minister of Agriculture. Mr. Stewart was speaking in the Bud- get debate. 4 The Minister dealt briefly with the work of the Farm Labor Board. He went on to speak about Opposition criticism with regard to allocation of the health tax. frhis tax amounted to about $200,- 000. and the Government was ex—, P01111108 over $600,000 on pltblic health. In other ivords, he main-I tained, the health tax is expended ‘more than threefold" for health liilrpcises In extra mural treat- ment there is an increase this; year.

Regarding

‘olutions on and potato

Mr. Morrisseys res-t vrestern feed grains. prices. Mr. Stewart‘ tirgued that the procedure was to hale tilesc go through the Fed- (‘IHUOII of Agriculture, whichl beads up all the individual farmf

organizations and presents a brief to the Legislature every_ year.

The 3 cunts gasoline fax was

.l.lll a new tax. as charged. he said.

Tile Dominion Government had simply tnlcatcrl this tax field for

,ntlthing more stupid than n. man

t lthree-quarter dollars. That ‘rather too much, whether medicine or beverage purposes; ‘i " That. money could have been used to much better advantage! ,ln their private homes. and in e I ibuying farm implements, We "could build the Brighton Bridge ., every year with that money." i He read a report of a meeting 'of the old P. E. I. Agricultural Society, dated 1M5, which con- tained reference to a. plowing match. at which seven pounds ln prizes were distributed. l The department; had received many inquiries for farm labor. Mr. Stewart said. Farming does not seem to be as popular as it used to be. He recalled that as a: young man. after graduating from Guelph College, he worked on a‘ farm in Ontario, “We Wgfked so late and got up so early in the.

morning that the lamp chimney‘, was still hot." he said. l Capping a reference bv Mr;

Strong to the sale of a 100 acre farnl near Summerside fnr $15,000,’ Mr. Stewart said that at Victoria the 160 acre farm of the int-n Premier Lea. with a splendid house and barn, went. for $5.509. He- agreed with Mr. Strong that, there was bound to be a pickup in nrlces for good farms.

College education, Mr. conceded, was of value In ant- nccupatloti. but sit; was not: all that was necessary. "There is a menthol‘ i‘f‘lil'C59nl-ifll illi-s Pro- vince, iviis gtvcrt lil thr Legisla- titre last week hy Ml". l-i. H. Cox.
