FARM & FISERY

compare in assisting the poorer class of farmers, as does the coun- tv exhibition. -

Commercial Feeds .,

Today feeders of livestock are purchasing imported and commer- cial feed mixtures.. mineral and protein formulas that can and should be mixed on the farm to stir.-piement our home grown cer- eals. to the end that the farmer will benefit to the greatest posible extent from the investment of can- ltal and labour. Through clever ad- vertising and propaganda. commer- cial firms are making unwarrant- ed profits nff the producers. They are like vultures. ready to lean on their farmer prev whenever they are a new dollar that may be grasp- ed from the farmers.

some examples: They promote feed finance plans. mineral mix- tures that are advertised as some- thing like patent medicines" in 3 drug store: yes appealing packages of advertising will sell the mineral mlrtiire comnosed chiefly of equal quantities of salt. ground lime- stone and bone ntal. at magnific- oi-itlv enhanced prices. The farm- 91' is led to believe he is nitrchas- in: R miracle food. when he could mix It at home on his farm at very small cost.

In this, the Department of Ae- rlculture should place convenient- !-.r before farmers the necessary formulas as a guide to all livestock growers. giving the exact quant- ities of protein and mineral stip- olcments necessary 'in various cer- eal grains for various stages of growth and production in the var- lrius classes ofillvcstock. and vary- ing with age and weight. to insure the correct nutritional balance in the essential food elements. namclv carbohydrates. fats. iorntelns. min- evsl compounds and food acces- sories. Direction in this should be provided hv the Agriculture De- partment through some medium of dissemination. which is their-field to explore and advance.

Weed Control in the Province

. Under WFed control. the Depart- ment. should make an attempt to eradicate all weeds. Encouragement hn! already been nrovided in this field in that the Department pays for one half of the cost of ween control deterrents purchased.

The i-aszwnrt tansy weed is en- iavinez a period of development. un- hampered. particularly on aban- donsd and neglected forms. This weed is not relished by tourists and others. who claim that it dis- seminates hav fever. coupled with its ugliness. It rihould be vigorous- ly: eradicated. This could oosslblv be

strailon stations throughout the Province with the weed control de- terrent and paying for the labour involved in spraying infected areas. It rhould be possible by this me- thod to eradicate this weed Desi entii-elv after a time.

In conclusion. may I say that I am nresenting these suggestions to the Department of Agriculture and tn farmers aenei-ally. casting no disparaging reflections. but onlv in the bone, that I msv have offered some riighatlons which might lead

us sli to further progress and ed- vsncentent. in the interests of sli.

Liberal members who lingered

nearby during the talk said no ag- reement had been reached. ' It was reported that Mr. Flem- ing. a. leading Progressive Conser- i-ailve member, had asked Mr. St. Laurent to get his members to SUDPOT5 U18 proposal to' sit only until midnight.

The Prime Minister was report- Oil to have countered with a sug- gcstion the official opposition ag. rec in a deadline for completion oi the governments legislation.

The C. C. F.-Social Credit mo- tiou only added fire to the length- eni1g debates.

2. Prime Minister St. Laurent. responded to a challenge from. Donald Fleming (PC-Toronto l-Iglintonl. announced that he in-i tends to apply "closure!-the rare- ly-invoked device for limiting de- bate-if the anti-price-fixin: blllj has not been disposed of by to- morrow night.

3. The Progressive Conservtaives then moved an amendment which would have had the effect of nul- llfying the C C F -Social Credit motion only to see the chamber; reject it by it vote of 101 to 2'1.

4. The Progressive Conevatives introduced a second motion-de- scribed use "compromise" offer- to the effect that the cl'lamber"ex- tend today's siting by two hoiirs- from the usual adjournment houi” of 10 p. m. to midnight.

Threat:-mi Closure

Mr. St. Laurent, in his surprise. announcement. said he intends to give notice tomorrow. if the busi- ness has not been concluded. that the closure rule will be applied; Thursday. Dec. 2'1-the date the: house was to be asked to return: anyway it the order paper was iioti cleared.

The announcement sent parlia- mentarians scurrying to the his- out when this

tory books to find drastic and rarely-used rule was last put into effect.

They found it has been in-

voked only a handful of times since it was adopted in 1913. The last occasion was in 1982. when the former Conservative Prime Minister. RB. Bennett. used it to ensure passage of t contentious unemployment legislation. if it is applied this time-and Mr. St. Laurent has asserted that it will be-ii means that the de- bate on the prices legislation must end by 2 ii. in. Friday. Dec. 28.

T e rule operates this way:

Once closure is in effect it lim- its speakers to one speech of 20 minutes each. Then. if the dis- cupslon has not ended by 2 A.M. the following day, sli debate auto- matically ends snd the issue is IIII-'

As the wearying hours .olled by. they hurled charges of "conspir- ncy," "collusion." "squeeze play." ”-'lDl'ession" and "double-talk" at the Liberal Party and the minor Opposition parties and on more than one occasion found they themselves required by the Speak- er to withdraw.

Meantime. the cabinet went into fl full-dress session. but inform- tints said the Chamber's conflict cllcl not enter into their delibera- lions.

At the night session. George Nriwlan (PC -- Annapolis-Kings). national chairman of his party said the whole purpose of the Pro- gressive Conservative debate has been to preserve the rights of rain- orities in the house.

Angus MacLcan IPC-Queensi. a new member elected in a by-elec- lion. said the house should not let. the Christmas holidays inter- fere with its duties. He urged that. members not be made to sit until the early-morning hours because at that time "we can't carry out our responsibilities."
