The repopt, which runs to over 250 typed foo l- cap pages, was prepared under thcdoint cillifmanshi? O! Rev. T- E. acLennan and Rt. Rev. J.

Tho Committee reports a "wido- spread and gratifying respome" to its resquest to organization! thro ghcut the Province to sub- mit riefs, and these submissions where found practicable were ln- corporated in the report. Whore organizations preferred to appear before the Committee personally this privilege was granted.

The report is merely "a first step in formulating a co-ordlnated post- war reconstruction and rehabilita- tion plan," In some instances sur- vey: will be necessary and the finding! of such surveys will have to be ascertained before detailed cost: can be adjudged.

There is a world shortage of coal, and Canada cannot count on shipments of British and United States anthracite to the same extent as in former years.

This winter, because of the shortage of anthracite coal, housohcldcro in the Maritimcs must rely principally on Nova Scotia colze, and on bltllmlliﬂll! coaL

To meet this situation, substantially increased quantities of Nova Scotia cokc have been made available for house-

holderslusc. This excellent Maritime

paoduet, when‘ properly ﬁred, is a hot, sotokcieu, economical fuel.

Committee

Agricultural Rcllort

72 pages of the report are de- voted to Agriculture, baled on the findings of a special committee

nder the chairmanship of Dr. J. i. Clark. The meetings of this committee were held weekly dur- ing April 8nd May, 1946. Exam- lnptlqn w" made into several hllill of the industry with a view o determining how it might be conserved and ‘egpandvd. that‘ members of this commit- tae arijlellrl. G- - Wh llev. . Muﬁtwld J.J. walnut. ri n , Smith, Hugh Campbell, W.B. M Lellan, and William Beers.

Of first and foremost import- ance, the committee found, was thg need of o Plan “tending to the rut, ration o the soil and the maintenance of its fertility." A: DNIQM thr soils of the Province a" bocqm n‘ impoverished; the water gupplylg diminishing and in some inrtancoa ll being polluted: forest c yer has decreased, soil erosion i widespread an wild iiie has ‘prscticailywanlah ." These eondit on: "cannot cor ect themsel- yes," and unless choc ed will he- come progressively worse.

Most serious of those evils, says the report, is 301i erosion. “Many of fllq abandons farms in the Pro- vlncewere, within a period of 100 years, clepred, cultivated without a thou h o conservation, and final- ly a ondoned, having been de-

rived of their original fertility argely thrcu h sheet erolson, ag- gravated by auity farming proc-

lcal. ample: of this wastage of

nature resources are plainly evi-

dent in tho hilly sections of south

e stern Queens and south western lngu counties."

More readily evident is gully erosion in the hilly sections oi‘ the Province where practically all of the forlllg topsoil has been wash-

sway.

Forest Conservation

0f first importance in remedy- ing these conditions is water stabi- lization, which goes back to m- craasad forest cover. Many of the steeper hillside areas, the report says, should be reforested; farm wood lots should be given proper attention. Other areas with lesser grades milht be planted to per- manont grasses. Contour farming should he Introduced both as in- dividual and community projects. windbreaks, dams, Ind more wille- s read introduction of beaver are BS0 suggested. The burning of brush and the cutting of trees and shrubs along any river or stream should be controlled by permit,

The report notes that certain swamp areas oro being drained to permit recovery of peat and several special o! mosses. “Such swamp areal." it says, "form valuable nat- ural reservoirs for the retention of water. Careful surveys should be made of these activities with a view to establishing their ECOIlOmlC value. Unless the crops harvested from such areas are of considerable economic value it i at least open to argument that drainage opera- tions should he permitted.

Early establishment of an ope-i drainage system on a community basis for certain limited areas, lo- cated chiefly in Prince County, is recommended, If road radlng mn- chlnery could be used or this pur- pose, the entire projects in Prince County should not cost mar; than 20000.

Natural Resources

The report urges that other nu‘:- urn] resources be “thoroughly ln- vestigated and developed to fullest extent possible."

h‘ s, and p iy other. marine and land pIBJllS or materials, cranberries, blucherriol, etc., should‘ coutciderution, and it econo feasible, processing should be within the Province.

Further opportunities, it is slur‘ gcsted, exist for the developm nt of small industries suitable for ex- service personnel in the way of wood-working plants, carriage nak- lnB. fireside industries, tanning, harness making and canning.

On the latter subject the report

Several briefs mere received rel- allva to the establishment of ad- liitional starch factorie. Informa- tion indicated that existing plants

Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick have a capacity (when operated but 100 days a year) of over twice the tonnalze of potato starch annually consumed in the Dominion, Under normal trade conditions potato starch can only compete with starch made from corn if and when potato prices drop to the 10-15 cents per bulllel level._ln the circumstance: "it would seem advisable to axerclae Caution before making any appra- ciabie financial commitments m- wand the establishment of further factories." The report recommends that a sum be provided for re- search leading to; (a) greater ec- onomy of production, (b) improve- ment in quality and uniformity or product, (c) utilization of waste accruing from the manufacture of starch and from the dehydration of potatoes.”

Th; report commends the trial shipments of hatching eggs to the “Delmnrvif section of eastern United States, and sulzgestl an appropriation “to permit full ex- ploration of this venture in all its

aspects." _
