85.00 a ton and the bulk price was as low as 83.40 a ton.

Mr. Dell: "T have a copy oi an Invoice showing that I paid at the rate of 35.00 s top. landed at Hun- ter River."

Mr. Baker: "That makes no difference what you paid. I am telling you what it could be bought for from at least three different companies. Where did you bu':.ylours'I"

Mr. : "From the Snowflake Company in st. John. N. 3."

Premier Matheson: "They were using you for a sticker." '

Mr. Baker: "In any event. Mr. Speaker. I submit that the price paid by the Opposition leader was an than the 00.00 mentioned in his speech."

FEDERATION BRIEF

Mr. Baker said he was pleased to note that the Federation of Agriculture. in their brief. had said that the butter kept in the Island Cold Storage plant was in much better shape than that which was sent to the mainland for storage. "We have heard a lot about the milk testing that was carried out by the Department during the past summer." he add- ed. "I note that the Federation of Agriculture has approved the ap- pointment of these inspectors and made the statement that would be a great help to both pro- cessors and producers."

"I wonder whether the Oppos-

ition would Iike to curtail this service or whether they would oppose this commendatio made by the Federation which is the

largest farmer's organization in this Province. I think there was plenty of encouragement for the Department to support these men." -

The Minister said that with the increased staff in the Department. a worthwhile expansion is in view and there will be renewed activity within the coming year. The grow- ing of horticultural crops will re- caive assistance and this branch oi agriculture along with the growing of small fruits and vege- tables will robably be the answer to the smal farmer who finds it difficult to expand through lack of limited acreage."

CANNING ACTIVITIES

speaking oi the canning plant at Bedeque. Mr. Baker said that it had operated successfully during the past year and that indications pointed to a large extension oi their activities in the coming ses- eon. A letter from a prominent Halifax resident, read by Mr. Baker indicated dissatisfaction with the amount of gelatin con- tained in Island canned -- chicken and turkey and stated that be- cause of this a great many people were turning towards the Ameri- can products. Mr. Baker said that while this might represent the opinion oi only the writer. he felt that it was a matter worthwhile lnvestlga and as a first stop he was going to send a copy of the letter to all plants in the Prov- ince that sre engaged in the can- ning of these products. "It would he a pity,'' he said. "to see people desert the island product."

The inister said that the field crops director was back on the job and that he would be, able to give assistance to farmers in see- ing that a better service is pro- vided in the cleaning facilities for grain and in the control of weeds. He announced that the agricultur- al engineering program had been mapped out and already the en- gineer had had several requests for the drawing of plans for build- ings Mr. Baker said that this man would be provided with a shop to carry on experiments regarding certain farm machinery particu- Iarly with a view to finding an in- expensive type oi sprayer for spraying fmit trees. He will work in conjunction with the horticult- urists on this project.

OFFICE AT l'lIDI

Mr. Baker said that in response to complaints from West Prince. an cultural office had been eetab ed at lummerside. The office will have a representative and a secretary and will contain a board room where small groups may meet. The cost of obtaining this office. he said was very mod- es. The Minister said he was inter- ested in the fishmeal plant at Bourls and stated that it would be of tremendous benefit to the farm- ers u a source of protein in live- stock diet. He cautioned the com- mittee concerned with the grant- ing of industrial loans and to ex- ercise care so that too many of the same type of industries would not be situated together.

A general discussion was held on the problem of taxing non- resident workers in the town.
