Activities of the Provincial De- partment of Agriculture were re- viewed in detail in the Legislature last week by the Minister, Hon. W. F. A. Stalwart, in speaking on the budget debate:

Referring to the decline in dairy production which he believed to have been caused in large meas- ure by the poor hay and pasture crops following two winters of lit- tle snow, Mr. Stewart said that the most alarming feature was that i there were 800 patrons less at the

butter factories. The decline in i actual production was one-quarter

of a million lbs. of butter and 82.000 lbs. of cheese in iii-i’! as compared to i946. The labor

glmrt-gge and the fact that young people today are not willing to work as hard or as ions hours as their parents, may be another lnctor, he observed. The large part which poultry raising has come to play in the agricultural economy of the pro- vince was instanced by the fact that last year 15 per cent of the to- tal farm income came through the medium of poultry with a total of two and one-quarter millions of dollars. This. Mr. Stewart cwlﬂlﬁ- ed. is an increase of 42 per cent over 1942 figure!- As each year went by, he thought that surely we must have reached or approached the satura- tion point in the building of brood- er houses as reflected in the bonus payment on brooder stoves. But the department. which pays one half o: the cost of the stove Whﬂl the house comes up to required specifications, found that such was not the case. They Ionused 240 stoves 1n 1945. 1'10 in the next year and 132 last year. He was not crmlplaintng about the money spent in this way. It’! a 500d policy, said the minister, who not- ed that Department men go out to znspect the brooder house. get in contact with the prOdl-IBBI‘ 011 hi5 e-w-n premises and are often able to help him with some of his prob- lems. In many cases. too. he said, the man may be able to help us. because we can 168m from him what methods he has imployed in a practical way to make a 51106955 of his business. phi: spread of 1n- formatinn is a two-way affair. he stressed.

Tire Department had bonused 595 11.0.1”. cockcrcls during the year.

Seeking Good Breeders

some of the farmers had sold their sows last fall when the feed prices jum-pcd suddenly but the position has changed since then and now the department ﬁnds farmers looking for good breeding stock, said the minister who re- called that pork brought only_ 3% cents a pound at one time which l8 a fnr crv from the Present Drill?

minister volio told the House that the percentage of selects had jumped from 27 per cent l5 years ago to cover 50 per cent today. A little more care and proper finish

would still further increase the percentage of select animals. he added.

spokesmen at this year's Farm- er's Week meetings had said that the Provincial boar bonus policy was one of the big reasons for the great improvement in the percent- age of select hogs. Mr. Stewart 101d the House that it is the intention to bonus only boars from Advanced Registry tested stock when enough or such ani- mals become available. Hc referred to the boar bred by Almon Boswall oi’ Dunstaftnage. who has established an all-time nil-Canadian record by string five nus.- test groups with slaughter test scores of‘ ninety or better, as an oiltstanrllnt! example of the splendid breeding stock in the pro- vince which has created a greater remand in the west than can be filled. Short courses made ﬂvlillilhle through the co-uperation of the Provincial and Dominion depart- mental officials were well attended and those in attendance took a keen interest in the work.

The Fhnners Institutes are not keeping pace with the women as there are only 24 Palmer's Insti- tutes. a drop from 50 some years 8B0. 10 Wmpare with the Z80 Insti- tutes the ladies have. But the place of the old Fanmerﬂs institute has been taken in many cases by Farm Forums. and co-operatives who buy the commodities which the Institutes did ln fourner years. The Newfoundland trade had ncttul three millions of dollars last year. said M1". Stewart uho also noted that for the first time a shipment, of wholemeal: had been brought frrm Newfoundland to Summer- side where it had been found ac- ceptable as fox meat.

More Competition

Island producers would have to place more accent on quality this Year in their shipment of live cat- tle as they will have to face for thg first time competition frown both Ontario and Quebec. But it was a good thing. said Mr. Stewart who feared that in too many cases in the past the quality of the animals being shipped was not good. Asked by Mr. Bell what effect a Newfoundland union with Can- ada would have on the Island trade with that colony, Mr, ﬁtewlart thought that it should be an im- provement. ‘Ilhen, he said. we would not have to pay thirty-three and one-third per cent duty on foodstuﬂ going in there.

He noted that there had been g, swat improvement in the quality of Island potatoes last year due to the legislation which provided that nothing but certiﬁed seed br- sown. But he believed that g m"? 6Y0}! should be planted in areas where early potatoes were harvested to prevent erosion.

He also urged that people get their applications in earlv for seed inspection to the Dominion offi- ‘llals- "Every year we get appeals form people trying to get us to in- tercede for them and extend the time when applications can be ex- pected. We have even got these ap- plications as late as August," The Trsular closing date for such applications ls the middle of June,

Tlhe Matthew Wells Company. who had contracts with 700 grow- ers had signed on 1.000 this year but were only goinc to have the same acreage as they felt that better results could be achieved on a. small acreage whore more regu- lar picking coukl be done and smaller and higher grade eueuin- bers would be the result.

The Minister read some excerpts from the report of the committee on Horticulture at the Dominion- Provincial agricultural conference

particularly their opinion that

an apple as can be grown any- where tn Canada. Their reference

to the need of quiclcfrecze and cold storage facilities was also noted. ,

He believed that inspection

should be made available for fruit. vegetables. honey. etc. sold on our heme market. He had bought a can oi’ honey with "No. 1 Canada" marked on it only to find a very poor and inferior grade of honey inside. He had inquired and found that there is no inspection what- soever. The same is true of pota- toes. Culls that could not be ship- ped out of the Province are sold in local stores and served to people at meals in eating places.

The department has assisted and helped provide Judges at the var- ious exhibitions in the Province and Mr. Stewart had attended wherever he could. He also noted the continued success of island breeders on the fall and winter show circuit. Although he admitted that the results at Imhcrst Winter Fair this year had not been as good for Island breeders as in former years, he did note that most of the top winners there from NB. and N.B. irere not men who depended on farming for a liveli- hood.

Falconwood Farm

Falconwood Farm improvements was reviewed in detail by the Ministers The Opposition had criticized in other years that theré were no hens on the farm. This time they had bought 1,000 chicks in lliarch and had 520 puilets when the time came for them to start laying, and now they have more eggs than they can use in the Faloonlwood institutions which in- cludes besides the Falsonwood Hospital, the Infirmary and Beach Grove. And one of the puilets even stole away and hatched a flock of her own in the fall. They put out 2,400 strawberry plants. had six acres of vegetable gardens and canned 7.000 tins of beans for winter use. Enough pptatoes and vegetables are available to last the institution through the winter and spring months, 1t was reported. This is partly due to good storage facilities provided now, it was explained. They produce 25.000 lbs. of milk a month and from 1.200 l0 1.500 lbs. of pork. In a few of the months there has been more milk than can be used. The total value of supplies furnished to

sale prices. would be more than $24,000 for the year and a net profit of from $4,000 to $5.000 is esfmated on the year's opera- tions. Mr. Stewart explained, that the Department of Public Works look after the buildngs for tl-ie farrrn.

llc discussed fish and game briefly and huggested that dams could be built up to provide spots for trout. but felt that there was mo heed to build the ’dams too high as they would be _more likcly to get washed out with spring fresh- efs.

Store Managers Frown 0n Women in Men's Stores

By RADER WINGET

NEW YORK March Z6 — (AP) A man still wears the pants in New York, but a woman buys them for him.

It's a postwar trend. Men don't trust themselves nowadays. They bring their wives along when they buy a suit of clothes.

An alarming thing-that's what a number of salesmen think about

ra-

Saya one:

“A man comes into my store alone. He wants a suit, he looks at it he likes it, he buys lt. If he doesn’t like it. he walks out. But when he brings a woman in, she starts an argument. Even when she doesn't want it she argues.

"Before the war, 26 per cent of the men brought vromen in here with them when they bought clothes. Tolay, wcmen do 60 per cent of the selecting. And some- times they don't even have the man with them."

There is evidence this movement may be spreading. Louis Rothschild of Washington executive director of the National Association of Re- tail Clothiers and Furnishers, cau- tiously indicated his organization recognized the development.

The Association recommends its momhers make their stores pleas- ing to women. "It is a. problem to make a man's store masculine." he says, "but at the slime time keep it attractive to women."

One store manager, who does not u'ish to be named for fear oi’ re- orisals frcm his wife, is blunt about it. Says he:

“We should keep ‘them out. Women that is. Women think men are better dressed when they select their suits. That's a wosnans ver- sion. Men don't really look better dressed. Thank heavens, they still look like men. _

“There are only three colors for -'.nen's stilts-blue, brown and grey. But women even come in here and want a suit to match the color oi their husband's eyes.

“Men don't have any confidence in themselves any more. But wom-
