rollovlllt Is tho tut of so ad- dress rlelivorod in the Senste st Ottawa oh March I by Hon. James P- McIntyre in‘ ‘Ollboeitlon to l. motion‘ of Senator Euler for an I-montncnb to the Dairy Industry MI; J0 permit the sale and manu- mhrrroffoicoml-Iwlrine in Can- Honoursbls Senators, I have listened with s. great deal of at- tention to, the honmarsbie mem- bers-who have spoken on this bill to amend .the Dairy Industry Act. Th8‘ honourible Senator from Waterloo (Hon. Mr. Euler) has introduced the bill for the third time in this House. I commend him for his efforts to help, as he believes. the consuming popula- tion in ‘this country. I do not think anyone. would find fault with hfm for whnt he is trying to do, but we must not forget that he represents s consuming popu- lation in the city of Kitchener. - i-roli. lur- Euler: Not only Kitch- Oilll’. -

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: I also list- ened with sttention to the hon- oursble-senator from Alma (Hon; Mr. Bnllantyne), who is not in his sent tonight. He too repre- sents n consuming population. in the city of Montreal. No one ‘would find fault with him for the strong argument he advanced in the interest 0f that population.

I was interested‘ In hear the hon- ourable gentleman from Alma say that hp was born on a. farm not far from this city, and that he left ‘the farm-at the age or! fifteen and moved to Montreal. Later, he told us, he mgsged in dairy farming. and in partnership with his brother risn e.farm for almost thirty, yesrs. That should give him some knowledge of the hard- ships the dairy farmer and his help have to go through to make umjyuginggg pay. HE further mentioned that in the earlier days he could hire s. mm for $40 a month and board, but later had to pay from three to five dollars a day. This of course would add greatly to the cost of the product.

Another honourable Senator who spoke In fsvour of the bill was the honourable gentleman from Tor- onto-Trinity (Hon. Mr. Roebuck). who represents s consuming pop- ulation in the city of Toronto. I do not think anyone could find fault with him for attempting to do something for the people he represents.

Hon. Mr. Hardy: May I inter- rupt the honourable gentleman to ask him if, in these large and congested manufacturing districts. ample consideration should not be givento the public?

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: Certainly» I sin coming to that point.

~The honourable gentleman from Toronbo-‘Ihlnity also said that he wss born on s farm. I assume

that he left it at an early age, because he went to school, and afterwards to low school, where

he graduated and became a meni- ber of the bar, lster becoming "Kings Counsel, and finally At- torney-Gerieraiof his native Prov- ince. -.Now I feel sure that. had the-honourable Senator from Alma (Hon. Mr. Balisntyne) and the honourable Senator from Toronto- ri-iiiity u-ion. Mr. Roebuck) re-

Al 31W know. Prince Edward Island is a dairy Province, in that the livelihood of s consid. Bflblfi Dirt 0! the population dc- Pelldo 011 dfl-Ifyinl. I am opposed to any action which will tend to lessen the revenues 0f the dairy farmers of Prince Edward Island. But not only they are affected: half a million formers through- out Canade will suffer s great in. Iustice if the importation or the manufacture o! pieornargarine is allowed in Canada.

Population Insufficient’ I

why 4° \1 IIY this? Because the population of this country is "Oi lame enough to absorb the production of oleomargarlne as well as available supplies of but. ter. "Canada. has only a little over 12.000.000 people. Our neighbours

to the south. who manufacture ‘

oleomargarine. number over 140 million/Newfoundland. where oleo- margarine is also manufactured, is not an agricultural country at all. In the United States and in Newfoundland the manufacture of oleomargarlne does not harm the dairy industry in the slightest‘ dc- QIGE. ‘

Hon. Mr. Husiilon: May I ask a question of the honourable gentle- man?

Hon. Mr. Miclntyre: Certainly.

Hon. Mr. l-Iushinn: Is butter production the largest industry of Prince Edward Island?

Hon. lvir. McIntyre: It may not be, but it is one of the largest. I believe our largest production is potatoes. v

Hon. Mr. Hushion: It seems In me that, with parsnlps selling gt $4.50 a half bushel, potatoes gt $2.50 per bag of '15 pounds, enr- rots at $3.50 a bushel, and loose- leaf lettuce at $7.50 to $5 for three dozen, the farmer is not suffering very much.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: The hon- ourable Senator must remember that in the last few years the pay cheque of the consumer has been greatly increased.

Hon. Mr. I-Iushion; That is true of everybody.

Hon. Mr. McI-ntyre: Then, if the consumer has substantially

increased his earnings, is it not reasonable that the dairy farmer. who has to pay more for his hired help, as well as for his fer- tilizers and everything that goes into the production of his com- modities, should receive a corre- sponding increase in his returns?

Hon. Mr. Euler: But why should the consumer be forced to buy butter? '

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: New Zeal- and, which manufactures oleomar- garirie, has to sell her butter at cheap rates to other countries.

Hon. Mr. Euler: Every country except Canada makes oleomar- garine.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: Far be it to advocate anything which would do ari injustice to the consuming population, includ- ing the little children. that ‘my honourable friend from Alma. iHon. Mr. Ballantyne) says are under-nourished. But every city and town across Csnads contains s. certain number of poor-ex- tremely pocr—people. Although they are a. part of the consuming population, their percentage is very small, and it is the duty of the cities and the provincial govern- ments tc come to their aid.

Hon. Mr- Hushion: The hon- ourabie Senator frorn Mount stow- art (Hon. Mr. McIntyre) has said that the farmer has to psy more. In Montreal the average labour- ing man who is not in s. union of any kind, but whom one would not cali a poor man looking for char- ity, gets about '10 to ‘l5 cents an hour for s. 45-hour week.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: I was in Montreal in 1H3 when pictures of my honourable friend, who was running in an election for the House of Commons, were on the pmts. ‘At that time wages in Montreal were only from 25 to 30 cents an hour. Wages now are much higher. Is it not reasonable. now that these workers are get- ting ‘l0 cents an hour instead of 25 or 3o cents they received when my lhonoursble friend was run- ning for election in i023, that the

dairy farmer should get on id- crease? Hon- Mr. Humion: I think the

honourable gentleman is niistnk- en in that statement. because I do not remember thst at that time anybody was working for 25 cents an hour.

some Hon. Bel-labors: Order.

Hon. Mr. Hushion: I know s llttl about wages, because I bro ht in the first budgets which were presented to the Council of the City of Montreal and the lmgislsturc of Quebec to increase tho wales of these working inon. At thst time they were getting about 40 cents, and I tried to get them n little more.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: If they were getting 40 cents at that time. they have now advanced to .70 cents, so tlist an increase In the returns of the dairy farmers would be only. reasonable. My honour- able friend from Aline (lion- w. Bellsntyne) said that whereas he hired men st one ‘time for M0 a month, he now his N! I'll! them from three to five dollars s day.

what happened in the campaign-

of 1930 when New Zeaiand was shipping her butter into Canada. In 1930 we were paying 20 cents a pound for butter, and, as my honourable friend from Saskatch- ewan has said, we could even buy it for l5 cents a pound. The slo- gan at that time was, "Farmers. look at your milk cheques." I do not know if that slogan wen-t all over Canada, but it certainly was heard all over the Province of Prince Edward Island. It was the result of New Zeslsnd butter be- ing shipped into Canada. With only a little over 12 million con- sumers in Canada what will hap- pen here if the manufacture of oleomargarine is allowed? Can we come down to s price of 15 or 18 or 2O cents again for butter?

I have said that I have great regard for the consuming popula- tion of this country. and I would not do anything to injure them. But there is on argument both ways. There is s strong argument for this bill, but there is also a strong argument against it. In these circumstances I say. leave well enough alone. when the rev- enue of the farmer in this country is lessened it affects every indus- try in the land-

Some hon. Senators: Hear. hear.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: And with what result? The result is stag- nation and unemployment, and everyone in every line of work-in commerce, in the mines and for- ests and everywhere else-is af- fected. Whcn the farmer does not get a reasonable price for his pro- duct or when there is s crop fail- ure he is the first to feel the pinch. but eventually it extends to every industry in the country.

Honourable Senators. I spoke against this measure last yearsnd sgsin this year in the interests of the dairy farmers throughout tbs Dominion.

Control 0f Brown T! llot In Peaches,

._.___. _

(Science Service News) I I

Without doubt, brown rot ls the major menace confronting thei peach industry in Ontario today. From the very nature of the dis- ense, its control is hiainiy the responsibility of the individual producer. Far-sighted growers have already recognized this fact and have accepted the challenge. Those who would be progressive would do well to follow suit. Admittedly the disease is difficult to combat but in esn and must be controlled. -- if consumer satisfaction is to be maintained. To accomplish this akn, no precautions -— even the inconvenient onu- can be neglect- ed, says R. S. Wiilison, Dominion Laboratory o1 Plant PatholoSY. St. Oetherines, Ontario.

First of all, proper sanitation is needed to reduce the sources of infection as well as the chances of contamination. Fruit. must not he left to rot on the trees after harvest. The orchard should be thoroughly disced just before the blossom period to bury any drops missed in the fall pick up. Rott- ing fruits of early varieties, if left in the orchard, serve as sources o1 infection for the -laier varieties. It is, ther ore, good practice to gather and dispose (rt drops during or very short y after the harvesting of each variety. A good time to do this is early in the morning while pick~ ers are waiting for the fruit on the trees to dry. Do not, however, handle rotting fruits while picking for Isle. After the picking-up operation and before any sound "fruit is touched, the hands, of course, must be thoroughly washed As i; matter of course common-

sense sanitary measures should be exercised in hi] picking and pack- ing operations. Contaminated hands, containers, or grading equipment can only mean con- taminlted fruit. Slip shod habits in this respect only Invite disaster. Sanitation. however. must be supplemented by dequate eprny- ing. A few sources of rot are bound to escape the clean-up and a very few spores cln very ‘soon become billions. Therefore tho new crop must be protected, For this pin-pose, there are yet- no better materials than the finely divided elemental snlphu s. The recorn. mended sprsy program for peache should be regarded as the absolute minimum. Additional applications at critical periods are often necess- ary, if the waffle-r stays wet and muggy. In some seasons, the blossoms should be_ sprayed a second orevon third time, I1 the summer is rainy. an extra spray should be put on six or seven weeks bolero harvest. Th enter mid- sesson application Is particularly effective for Isle varieties If rot is at all prevalent on tho earlier ones. Again, it is oftsn‘ advisable to dust or spray moss than once in the harvest period. Dusting Is

but liquid sprays should be unl for the regular applications ad when coverage has to last to: several weeks. To obtain the bfll results with either sprays or dtllio, care must be taken to cover fl parts of the tip; requiring m». tection. It is all too easy to coy‘ too much ground and to ‘fall is cover the fruit.

c.Pre-coo1ing and refrigeration Q transit are desirable additions ts other brown rot control measures, but they will not make up for any previous deficiencies in the control‘ program, The amount of brawn mt shownig up after harvest do- pends on the iiunber of broom rot spores on the fruit, If thy numbers are large, there is also n,’ much greater chance that invisible spots of rot have already formed at packing time. When that happens, heavy wastage can appeal literally over night. Low temper- atures in transit serve only to ds~ lay the development of brown at, not to prevent it. Furthermore, rot usually develops very quickly after 7 removal from refrigeration. if tho spore load oii the fruit isat Ill heavy. Thus it is up to the pm. ducer to make sure that the sport loud is as light as it possibly can, be. Thorough spraying and proper sanitation measures rigorously applied will go most of the way towards placing Ontario penelicl in the consumer's hniidsiin good con- dition. The same practices will also pay dividends in the orchard Spray calendars and other infor- mation ran be obtained on requcsl either through the Spray Service or from the nearest Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology.
