OFFICIAL SUMMARY.
|
Tuurspay, April 19.
Mr. Speaker took the Chair at 11.: @&-m, Mr. Bentiey presented a Bill entitled |
An Act to Incorporate the Freetown Hail
be
On Sheil Netice, in Good style, at Cheap Prices,
Company.”
Mr. Frrcvson moved that the Honse do now resolve itself ‘into a Committee of the whole for the purpose of considering the
advisibility of introducing a measure to
prevent the ravages of the potato bug. He said : Last year the potato bug made its ap- pearance in this Province. The bug is a native of the Recky Mountains. It has spread itself over the North American Continent destroying the growing potato crops everywhere in its path ; and now it threatens us. Its fecundity is extraordin- “ary ; and when it once obtains a foothold in .any lecality it is next to impossible to ‘eradicate it. In view of this fact, it has i been suggested by many persons that measures should be taken to crush it ont while its numbers are yet comparatively few. Some say that the Government should appoint persons to travel over the country and cause the bug to be destroyed whenever it apjeared. But this would sheer nonsense. The bugs may appear in hundreds of places at the one time. The only way this enemy can be suc- cessfully met, isto take advantage of som= organized power at presént in existence. The road overseers were suggested, but it was found that the means at their disposal are insufficient ; and it appears that the only organizations we have, able in any, practical way to cope with the threatened evil, are the Boards of School Trustees in the several districts ; and, in the proposed Bill these Boards wil! be empowered to adopt measures for its extinetion. It has been sugyested that the respective Boards should be empowered to appropriate and destroy crops attacked by the bug, and that the owners should be remunerated for their losses at the public expense; but after due consideration, it has been concluded that such a provision wonld not work. The idea originated in the supposition that saturating the plants with kerosene oil and burning them off would destroy the bugs with their eggs and Jarve. But, extraordinary as it may seem, it has been found that the bug actually burrows in the ground, and some have even been found several feet from the
surface. Those who have given the balits of the “bug” close attention say that Paris green and London
purple are the very best means to employ in itsextermination. These poisions are easily obtained, and cheap; and with a proper organization they may be distributed | throughout the Province and made a valu- (able remedy for prompt and vigorous use. It will no doubt be objected that the work- ing of the proposed Bill will entail a great deal of trouble upon the Trustees, But any trouble they may be required to take will be in their own personal individual interests, as well as on behalf of their own settlement or district, apd they will not think it a hardship to be the means of relieving themselves and their neighbors and friends of the loss and distress inflicted by this scourge, The potato is one of our chief products. It is used not only on our tables, hut for our stock—as well as for ex- portation. Should our potato crops be d-stroyed for th» want of prompt and effect- ive action, the Province will suffer an in- calculable loss; and we shall never cease to regret our supineress and neglect. Legis- lative action has not, it ia true, been taken in other countries; but owing to our isclition we may deal with the matter differently from other places, and no country on this side of the Atlantic is so deeply interested in the success of potato culture as ours, and everything depends upon being in readiness, with means to crus: out the pest whenever and wherever it shall appear.
Mr. Sryciarr said the propesed measure should be very carefully worded. In legis- lating upon this matter we should be very cautions. If you permit the school trns- tees tc go in upon a man’s farm and, if they see fit, destroy his crop of potatoes, you arm them with very arbitrary powers.
Mr. Ferevson said: This is not contem- plated. It was suggested; but the sugges- tion was not adopted.
Mr. Sinciarr would not consent to any such arbitrary powers. As a _ rule, the farmer best knows his own business; and he will take the most effective means that can be taken to protect his fields from the ravages of the bug.
Mr. CamMPRLLL said: This isa very difii- cult question upon which to legislate. In fact it seems almost as useless to try to extermin- ate the bug by means of a Legislative ennctment as it would be in the same way to prevent the specd of the weevil. Every farmer should know his own business best, and he certainly has the best information as to the condition of bis growing crop. If the people do not take sufficient interest in their crops of potates to kill off the bngs woen they appear, Legislation will be utterly useless to make them do so. Besides this, School Trustees have quite enovgh trouble already.
Mr. Prowse said : This is a very im- portant question. Unquestionally some steps should be taken in view of the threatened scourge; and go into Committee may do much good even though the expression of opinion which will be evoked in this discussion. The loss of the potato crop caused a great famine in Ireland ; and in our case it would certainly involve a great loss and perhaps much suffering. Provinee, we yrow more potatoes here than any other part of America. It is possible that Legielation will do no good, But it «will be well to crouse the farmers to ¢.
the motion to)
In proportion to the size of the!
| their potato fields. The newspaper men should collect and distribute all the infor- [mation they can obtain upen the subject. jiuceed it would be well if we had a news-
| paper more thoroughly devoted to the interests of agriculture. It is pleasing ? see present representatives of the Pre:
and it is to be hoped that they will repr os this discussion and write the matter up. Mr. Gorvon was very well satis- fed that any Jegislation which may be stead will check the ravages of the potato bug; and it is worthy of remark that no legislation, with respect to if, hes taken place in any other country. In Italy the Phylloxera, an insect which bas done great damege to the grape vines, has, how- ever, been ®he subject of much le;
pot
uislation, The Government of that country bave made repeated efforts and offered large rewards with a view to its extermination—but with- ovutev il Reference has ben wade to the famine of Ireland. The loss of the potato crops in Ireland was due to an insect called the Aphis Vastator. The Governmentlof that day offered very large rewards for the discovery of a means of destroying it; But every effort was found to be vain. ‘The potato bug, if it should appear here, will ne donbt cause a great deal of trouble.
When it appeared last year, many of the farmers themselves destr yed every insect they c6uld find ; and this is perhaps the best mode of dealing with it. By the Bill as prepared, it is proposed to lay a great deal of labor upon the school trustees aud to give them the power to go upon their neighbors farms. This regulation is not likely to give satisfaction.
Mr. HoLtianp thought the House wonld act hastily in legislating now on this sub ject. When the bug ma¢e its first appear- ance last year it did not doa great deal of harm, and in the United States we now hear very little-about:t. No other country thas dealt with the matter by legislation ; and it will not be wise for us to do so, at least this year.
Mr. J. R. McLean said he thought the }Toposed measure would put the trustees to much imeonvenience and ip pose a very un- pleasant duty upon them. In the unfortun- ate event of an invasion of the bigs it would be the duty of every farmer to nse every means in his power to suppress them. But there is no great fear of the potato bug in this Province, for the climate is not conducive to their propagation. There is however, another kind of bug—the humbug —of which the people should beware.
Mr. Perry said he was doubtful whether any good would result from the preposed méasure, though the Hon. Commissioner of Crown Lands deserves credit for int reducing it, and the Giscussion of the sulject may have a good effect ; but unless the farmers
themselves exert themseives, the passage of acts through the Legislature will do no good.
Mr. Farqruarson said the Commissioner ef Crown Lands has done well in bringing this very important matter to the notice of the House. It is to be feared that the potato bug will visit the Province this eom- ing summer, and it would be wise to take some measures of precaution, To empowsr the School Trustees to compel the people to destroy the pest when and where it may ap- pear seems to be a move in the right diree- tion, though care must be taken not to over- load the trustees with duties. Should the bug appear, the people ought to go to work vigorously and immediately to exterminate it ; und, as it would be rather hard for a
man to lose his whole crop, means should be provided to remunerate him. If the whole School District would unite,
each man’s share of the loss wonid be com- paratively light, should the "“g sppear; and should it not appear, no harm will be done. The cost of Paris green is not very great, and, diluted with water, a little will go a long way; while used vigorously and in time, a great loss might be prevented.
Mr. McKay said :
ant matter to the whole country;
This is a very import- and it is
well that it has been introduced to the notice of the House, if only for the interest the discussion of it will
create with reference to the pest and the best way to stamp it out. At this early stage it is hard to say what support the proposed measure should receive. The idea of imposing more duties upon the School Trustees, who have already very responsible duties to perform, would not be likely to meet with appreval. This trouble is nota sectional ope. The pest appears all over the country ; and anything done in any one part of the Province to suppress it, would be for the general good of the whole country. The district visited may be a very poor district ; and besides there are farms and places not included in any school dis- trict. So that both the fairness and the effectiveness of enlisting the services of schoo] boards for the work required,isto be doubted. In the passage of the proposed |measure the utmost care should be taken. Mr. McFapyen moved the adjournment -of the debate. Motion carried.
After recees,—
Mr. Speaker pen.
The debate onthe motion that the House resolve iiself, into Committee of the whole tv further considerthe expediency of paste ing a Bill respecting the Potato Bug was resumed.
Mr. McF apYew said he was glad that the matter had been taken up, as some legisla- tion was required. There should bea law to authorise the destruction of the potato bug |wherever it appears. Farmers are not alk equally energetic Some will neglect using 'the Paris yvreen, and the diligent will suffer wth theindvlent. Parties should be com- pelled to use it. He considered it prefer- able to place the authority in the hands of the Rocd overseers rather thanin the School Trustees.
Mr Gittis said there is no donbt that the poteto bug is amongst us. If there bas not vet been much damage, still it will not be for long. Owing to the coolness of our
