CIIARLOTTETOWN. snuam, JUNE io. 1050

An outstanding Programme

The detailed programme of the thir- teenth annual meeting and convention of the Agricultural Institute of Canada. to be held here. June 27-30. has been published in attractive booklet form, and is in itsr.-ll a good indication of the efficiency of the convention committee under Mr. R. C. Pa- rent, and of the amount of work involved in carrying through this ambitious undet- taking. In addition to business sessions of the AgricL1lttl1'al Institute. there will be meetings of the National Council. Scholar- ship Administration Committee. Agricultural Engineering, Fieldcrops, Horticulture and Soils Sections, Canadian Agricultural Econ- omics Society. Canadian Society of Animal. Production (Eastern Section) and the Cana- dian Phytopathological Society. An inter- esting programme is provided for the ladies of the party. including a trip to Dalvay and the North Shore and banquet and dance at The Charlottetown. The closing day of the convention will be devoted to shopping and miscellaneous activity. ending with an air trip over the Island on Friday evening.

An R. C. A. F. photograph of central Charlottetown and a map of the city are featured on the covers of the programme, which is illustrated throughout and carries a cordial message of welcome from Hon. C. C. Baker, Minister of Agriculture, also greet- ings from the Ministers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

The subjects to be dealt with at the convention are of great variety and import- ance. They include farm irrigation. drain.- age and seepage studies. plowing matches reclamation of tidal marshlands, soil erosior. manure and fertilizer combinations, livestock industry economics, relation of food sur- pluses to agricultural policy, economical mechanization of small farms. potato in- sect problems. experiments on chemical control of woody plants, and numerous other topics.

Of special interest locally will be the papers on "Soil Erosion in Prince Edward Island" by G. B. Whiteside, Dominion Ex- perimental Station, Charlottetown; ”Manure and Fertilizer Combinations for Potatoes at Charlottetown," by D. C. Schurman. H. J. Atkinson and L. E. Wright. Dominion De- partment of Agriculture; and "The Story of P. E. I. Yorkshire Swine", by H. W. Clay. Charlottetown. .

Every Province in Canada is sending its topranking agricultural officials to this con- vention. as well as the Federal Government, Harvard University and other American centres. The names and positions of those participating in the panel discussions alone would make a long list.

Midway during the convention. on Wed- nesday afternoon. a number of tours have been arranged for specialists in. soils. live- stock. agricultural engineering. etc., to en- able them to see those parts of the Island in which they are particularly interested.

Riarketlng Boards t

According to the Saskatchewan News. the purpose of new provincial legislation is t.o enable producers of any given commodity to establish a marketing plan under their own control whereby the commodity may be con- trolled so as to maintain a more stable price structure. In order to take advantage of the Dominion Agricultural Products Mar- keting Act it is necessary to establish pro- vincial producer marketing boards. This should assist in more effective use of the Agricultural Prices Support Act. The Sas- katchewan marketing board takes the view that these acts, together with the Provincial Natural Products Marketing Act are de- signed to prevent a commodity price col- lapse within our domestic economy during periods of surplus deliveries. A request for a marketing plan must originate with pro- ducers' groups. Members of the marketing board will examine carefully any marketing plan under the control of a producersl boaid that may be presented by a producer's group. There must be assurance that the plan is sound and workable. There also should be ample evidence that the pro- ducers concerned are strongly in favor of this method of marketing before any pro- ducersl marketing plan can be operated suc- cessfully.

Prime Minister St. Laurent expressed a cardinal principle of public life as we know it when he stated his belief that it is es- sential that there be public confidence in the good faith and honest intentions of men "We do not have to believe

it is quite another thing to attack the good faith, the honesty of purpose and the loy- alty to their country of public men. when there is no substantial evidence to support such attacks.” i

Affairs of state are 'complex and our tra- dition is that they should be openly discus- sed to have the advantage of many points of view and to assure the minority that their views are being taken into consideration even if not acted upon. To discuss the mar- its of any course. however. it is essential to go to the root of the matter under discus- sion. It does not assist in the reaching of a wise decision to attribute dishonest or un- patriotic motives to an opponent. Such tac- tics will, however, undermine public confi- dence in political leaders of all parties alrl end by making democracy unworkable.

This does not mean that actual cases ol fraud or treason should be concealed from public view. On the contrary every effort should be made to bring malefactors to book whatever position they may hold. It does mean, however. that there should be,no ex- changing of unsubstantiated charges of bad faith in the hope of making something stick and thereby gain a political advantage.

It is. indeed. welcome news that a be- ginning is to be made almost immediately with the construction of the Canada High- way covering the ten mile stretch between Bonshaw and Tryon. The proposed recon- struction of the l-lillsboro Bridge is another sign of the good times ahead of us.

Senator Marcotte's proposal that Provin- cial "consent" to constitutional amendments be by resolution of the Legislature concern- ed rather than by the Premier has unde- niable merit. The present practice arises from the non-existence of amending pro- cedure and should be remedied by the pro- posals which will come before the next Do- minion-Provincial conference.

- Canadians should invest in Canada or other people will. according to the Pres- ident of the Canadian Bankers' Association. Bank accounts. Government and other bonds are merely loans to people who will make use of our savings. To have a real stake in the country the man with savings must invest something, at least. in common stocks and be an owner rather than merely a lender.

THE FERRY VVHARF - AGAIN

sir. - Many years ago the Ferry Wharf was kept. in good condition and was a popular place to go in order to enjoy the attractions of our harbour and river. There was a wooden sidewalk on each side protected by a good railing. I Wei: remember when the "Ferry Wharf" was quite a rendezvous for young people especially, to assemble on Sunday evenings after the church services to enjoy in the summer twilight. a view of the glittering waters but that is one of the things that decay and delays in repairing have taken from us.

Now that. the Board of Trade have called attention to our water- front. we should expect that our public men would give some thought and attention to the mat- ter of improvement. It is an easy matter to make this improve- ment: so far as the inner portion of the Ferry Wharf is concerned and there is reason to believe that Premier Jones will have it attended to without delay but. what. about the outer section, My suggestion is that the Federal Government. be given the property with all rights and privileges appertaining there- to on condition that a naval head- quarters shall be stationed there. It. is an ideal place for l-l.M C.S. "Queen Charlotte" to be located and our representatives at Ottawa should lose no time in having an amount pub in the supplementary estimates for a suivey to be made and estimates secured as to cost,

Summerside has its Air Force establishment and large sums of money have been spent to make it a permanent air field. what about a naval headquarters in Charlotte. town. the Capital City? The mat- ter has been brought to the at- tention of the Commons by Mr, McLure and it is to be hoped mu, Mr. Douglas -will follow this up by securing a vote in the supplement- anes.

FALCONWOOD FARM

Legislative ”Council. March 24, i864:

Hon. Mr. MacDonald tabled the following report of a committee headed by Hon. George Beer. to whom was confided the duty of selection and management of a Stock Farm for Prince Edward Island:

"Your committee have selected the farm known as tFalconwood'. owned by the executors of the late John Grubb. Esq. It. is con- veniently situated on the Hills- b0l'Ol.l3h River. only about two nulesg from Charlottetown, and contains about two hundred and forty acres of land. nearly two hundred of which is cleared.

"This firm. when in the occupa- Lion of the late Mr. Grubb. was noted for having raised mu-eon some of the finest cattle and sheep ever produced in the Colony. and

likewise for heavy crops of hay and train; but since the death of the late owner it. has had some three or four different tenant.-.. and. as I consequence. was found to be in I worse condition than was at. first supposed. the land being very much exhausted. The buildings were not sufficiently commodious, and out of repair: the fence: considerably rotten, there- by involving rather a large out- lay in order to bring it into any- thing like working order.

"The bulldin'gs.have been re- paired; new fences have been erected. and much has been done towards restoring it to a state of good cultivation - the farm being now worth sever-alhundred pounds more than it was some three years since; but, from the quantity of stock necessary to be kept there. on. Q considerable outlay will be Nqulfed 11'” hay. for some years to come.

fThe stock now thereon con. sists of four heavy brood mares. one gblood brood mare. one blood -5i811'10n. tSultan'. one young cart. stallion. near two years old. one -do. blood do.. near two years Old. one do. Carl do,, near one year old. one do. cart. filly near one year old. one do. blood do. near one year old. one aged Dur- ham bull. one young Ayrshire bull. near two years old. five Durham CO-WS,lhl'C:E Ayrshire cows, two Ayrshire heifers. near two years old. one Durham heifer. near 1W9 years old. one Island cow. two I rams. one Southdown do., .welve breeding ewes. six Leices. ter ewe lambs, two young rams, two breeding sows. two full grown boars. The young cart stallion is a remarkable animal and will. in 8” Probability. Piove of great value to the country.

and are probably better adapted to the malority of our former: than the Durham breed. There are three Ayrshire cows and two heifers supposed to be in calf. the whole product of which will be forwarded to the country. when suitable. At. the same time, we are alive to the importance of cir- culating. as soon as possible, good milking Durhams. for the treble purpose of the dairy, the butcher. and to meet the growing demands for exportation to the other Pro- vinces.

"During lhe past year no less

; than 8.444 head of live stock left lnur shores. comprising 387 horses.

947 callle. 471 pins. and 4,639 sheep. being more than seven times the number of lhosn ex- ported in the year 1855; and

-your committee believe that I much larger quantity of farm stock will. for the future. be rais- ed for sale. Therefore the speedy introduction to all parts of the country of the best breeds of horses. cattle. sheep and pigs be- comes a matter of great importance to the future welfare and prosper- ity of the Colony.

"The stock of sheep have not increased on the farm, as was hop- ed: several of the ewes. although fmc. handsome animals. proved to be poor breeders; others have pined away and died. The same thing occurred several times be- fore. with other lmportations. made both by the Government and by private gentlemen. 337 ewes, owned by private individuals. have been sent. to the imported rams. from which I number of gen-ijarkably fine lambs have been

re .

"Your committee are of opin- ion that the stock of breeding ewes should be immediately uls- ed to at least 40. They are also of opinion that about 80 well bred ewes. that have each had one lamb. can be purchased on the Island. which. in addition to those now on the farm. would bring the stock up to what it ought to be. in order that each County should yearly receive material advantage from the flock of sheep.

"The committee will probably arrange for the keeping of a large number of breeding sows in fu- ture. as the stock of pigs appear to give general satisfaction. and the growing trade of curing and exporting pork and bacon renders it desirable that tulle best. breeds should be circulated through the country, with as little delay as possible.

"The committee are now caus- ing an expenditure of labour in raising a quantity of musselmud. with which to manure the outlying portion of the farm. which had become very poor, so as to cause a greater production of hay and pasture.

"Your committee are of opinion that when the flock of breeding ewes are brought up to 40. they will be enabled to keep the farm in good working order with I much smaller grant than has been heretofore required. and that they will then be enabled to circulate as much superior stock, yearly, as could be imported fog H.000; and they trust and believe that the country at large will soon derive substantial advantages from the Stock Farm, although it may take. possibly. seven years from its first establishment before the greatest yearly advantages will be realiz- ed."

Mr. Blair: I refer to the ull'nl- ahle or Champlain. who was on. of the greatest early explorers of this country. Any hon. member who visits Nepean Point will find there a statue of this great ex-ploy. er. looking up the Ottawa river toward the scene of some of hi, early explorations. and holding in his hands a scientific instrument for the taking of latitude and longitude. He used it. when he wu searching for the Northwest Pm. age. In his memoirs Champlain tells of how he lost this lnstru. ment. Some years ago a farmer near Cobden found it. when ploughing, but unfortunately it found its Way to a collection in New York, This instrument shoula be in our national museum. Noe only is it an instrument used one of the greatest explorers; ll 13 a tangible reminder of the great things he did for this country. I feel that. it belongs to Canada, And I suggest that an effort be mud: to have it brought back and placed ln our national museum. -Com. mons Hansard.
