' In following up our comments on the Liberal man- ifesto we can treat planks 2, 6, 11, 13 and 15 in part at least together: _ _ _

No, 2.-The abolition of the War and Health Tax,

being a reduction of revenue, affects all others. That _is, first, reduce the /general revenue and then, (No. 6) raise the school teachers’ salaries; (No. 11) give generous fin-

Improvement of Educational System.-(a) Encour-

agement by higher salaries to teachers to induce them to remain longer in the teaching profession, thus insuring a more experienced class of teachers.

(_b) Better grading in the Elementary branches,

thus ensuring a good common school education. '

study and rural science branches. _ (d) The expenditure of the Dominion Grant for technical education in establishing at some centre or centres a school or schools for instruction in agriculture, fishing trades, and other occupations. _

Agriculture.-1. Continuation and expansion ofthe

policy of furnishing an adequate supply -of mussel mud fertilizer.

2. Encouragement towards the selection, and stand-

ardization of farm produce, thus establishing a reputa- tion foi' the agriculture products of this province in or- der to obtain the highest market prices.

5] _ ‘

0 The promotion of the movement of securing' pui'e

red cattle, sheep, swine and other live stock.

4. The underdraining and reclaiming of the low lands

of the province, so insuring yearly crop.

5. Further 'development and encoiiragcinent of

We will, of, course, lrear that we must take into ac-

when Mr. Bell obtains control. _

Let us ese what is the sum total of what they pro-

posed in that direction when the estimates were being voted on. They challenged and divided the committee on every item in the estimates which they proposed to re- duce or strike out entirely. ‘

Following are the items and amounts of reduction:

Total proposed reduction . . . . . _ . _ _ . _ _ _ _ . __.$6,400

_ Thus, Mr. Bell’s party proposes _to reduce the ex - penditure $6,400 a _vear and with that reduction they claim the War and Health Tax amounting last year to $30,944.02, can be abolished notwithstanding that last year there was a small deficit as it was.. At the same time they propose to give the teachers larger salaries, the soldiers more generous treatment, and the fishermen greater assistance and then, of course, make ends meet! But two of the items amounting to $800, Crown Prose- ciitions, etc., and Executive Council mileage, are uncon- trollable expenditures and cannot be reckoned on as a possible saving. Hence the pile of savings drops to $5,600. _

Dispensing with the services of a Secretary of Agri-

culture and closing the School Supply as part of this plan of economy are strange ideas in a progressive policy.

It is as yet too early to indulge in predictions as to

how the grain and root crops of the province will turn out, the weather and the potato' bugs having yet to be reckoned with. The hay crop, however, is now assured independent of weather conditions, with the exception of the harvesting of' the crop and this, judging by the past, may be looked forward to confidently. _ Another of our already assured crops is fruit, par- ticularly apples. The fruit has already set and there is promise of an exceptionally large crop. In this connec- tion our orchardists will be we'll advised to give the apple crop every possible attention, for present indications are that apples will be a big price during the season. It is said that already the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick apple crop has been purchased by_a large Canadian can- ning concern and the market will require every apple that can be marketed. With a little care the apple crop of this province could be made to yield many thousands of dollars._ Heretofore only a few . of our orchardists took sufficient care of their apples to make them fit for market and in consequence our Island apple crop has not acquired such a reputation in the market as would en- sure a reasonable price._ This year, with necessary care,

§_\;§_1_'y apple _in the province can be sold at a good figure.

se growing apples would do well to make such ar-

gangements as n_i'a_y be necessary with the local fruit men or a market, giving them necessary assurance of good quality and _prompt delivery. These arrangements made early in fthe'-.Won should ensure a g0¢_d.ma,~ket for all the apples vb* oan' produce, _ _ _ _
