Agriculturists

Now Optimistic

Every Province Now Looking For- ward To Increasing Trade InF arm Products With_(i1_'eat Britain.

Confidence as to the agricultural future of Canada, particularly in view of the favorable concessions in the British market obtained as a result of the Imperial Conference, was evident in the attitude of ev- ery delegation attending the Ag- ricultural Conference last week at Tomato. This is the cheering mes- sage brought bome by the Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Provincial Minister of Agriculture, who returnediast night from attending the‘ sessions. He was accompanied to the confer- ence at Toronto by Mr. J. W. Boui- tcr, Deputy Minister, who retum- ecl home on Saturday.

With the enlarged marketliow available 1n Great Britain the con- ference felt that; every effort should be made to increase the quality and uniformity in grading of Canadian farm products.

The conference on agricultural services was called by Hon. Robert. Weir, Federal Minister of Agricul- ture, at; Toronto on Aug. 29. There were present; by invitation all the Provincial Ministers of Agriculture and their deputies, besides heads of agricultural and veterinary colleges, representatives of Provincial re- search foundations, national re- search councils, the Canadian Soci- ety‘ of Technical Agriculture, Do- minion Bureau of Statistics. Board of Grain Commissioners, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways, and the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture. A total of about sixty-two were in attend- ance. days, starting from 9 o'clock each morning and continuing until 5.30 p. m. with one hour for lunch.

The following subjellrs came up 1 Poultry; i milk products; l

The Provincial lidinisterwas par- ticularly struck by the optimism prevailing on every hand. The suc- cess of the Imperial Conference is already manifesting itself in the at- titude of all concerned 111 Canada's great basic industry. Moreover, the crop prospects generally are good, particularly in the West. The western delegates were particularly optimistic, Hon. Mr. Buckie, Minis- ter of Agriculture for Saskatchewan,‘ making the statement that there was every prospect of Western Can- ada this year producing the second largest crop in her history.

BERLIN, Sept. 4-One hundred

and ninety five thousand members of the Nationalist Steel Helmet, acting for 1,000,000 more German Great War veterans today, aligned themselves behind the government of Chancellor Franz Von Papen in the most brilliant military display since the. days of Kaiser Wilhelm. In s gigantic parade at Tempeihof aerodrome they indicated by their soidlerly bearing and implicit obed- inece to commands that they could capably swell the ranks of the Rclchswehr if and when Germany completes her negotiations for modification of the Versailles Treaty. From 5.30 to 10.30 in the morning. seemingly endlem columns of Steel Heimetcrs moved from ev- cry direction, upon Tempeihof to hear Franz Sedite plead for patriot- ism, unity and love of their fellow- men, and to see Theodore Deustcr- berg dedicate hundreds of new flags to units just formed. Sedite and Duesterbcrg are co-leadcrs of the organization. For six hours foi- lowing these ceremonies the aero- drome resounded to the tramp of marching feet as batallion after bataliion passed in review before Chancellor Von Papen. Defense Minister Kurt Von Schielcher, in- terior minister Wilhelm Von Gayi and other Cabinet members in the generals,

peared with his staff. Seidte and Duesterbcrg, striking a. keynote that "the old German army is no more but its spirit, lives," adminis- tered a. solemn oath of allegiance to the Imperial colors of black, white and red to steel heimetcrs.

After a general discussion on these subjects committee-s were formed and later presented their report to the meeting.

The conference also dealt with the following recommendations.

"This Conference recommends the formation of s. National Com- mittee on Agricultural Services composed of the Federal Minister of Agriculture as chairman and the nine Provincial Ministers of Agri- culture.

"It is also recommended that this body shall have as a National Ad- visory Committee on Agricultural Services the following:

“The Federal. Deputy and Amst- ani; Deputy Minister of Agriculture, the nine Provincial Deputy Minis- ters of Agriculture, the heads of the Agricultural and Veterinary Colleges, Representatives of the Provincial Research Foundations, National Research Council, Domin- ion Bureau of Statistics, Dominion Board of Grain Commissioners. Canadian Society of Technical Ag- riculture, Canadian National Rail- way, Canadian Pacific Railway, and such other representatives as the National Committee on Agricultural Services may nominate.

"This Conference also recom- mends the formation of a Provin- cial Advisory Committee on Agri- cultural Services in each Province, such a Committee to be under the chairmanship of the Provincial Minister of Agriculture.”

Island Committee

In accord with the latter resolu- tion, an advisory committee uncicr the chairmanship of Hon. Mr. Sharp will be formed in this Pro- vince to deal with agricluturai prob- lems. The best methods of obtain- ing the benefits under the new Bri- tish preference for Island products will be dealt with by this commit- tee, which will be representative of the agricultural community. Uni- formity of product and maintain- ence of a hlgh standard will be the first consideration in every pro- vincc.
