ewwving of everything the resolu- tion contained, he felt that it might be strengthened by showing how this ceiling offends against the prin- ciples which were applied lll the ap- plication of the ruling to industries other than agriculture.

HOD-MI. McIntyre also approved. He agreed that it would he proper to send representatives to Ottawa to point out how much money was lost to our farmers in the past ten years, I-Ild to show how the ceiling on po- tato prices would discriminate against them.

Mr. Saville also spoke in favor of the resolution,

Mr. Hughes Opposed

Ml‘. William Hughes said he in- tended to vote against it He did not think the House should be asked w take any stand in tile matter. ‘The Domlnioon Government has under- taken to keep the price of food and other commodities within reasonable bounds, and they are going to do 1t. We have members of the House of Commons from this Province, and they are the proper persons to ap- peal to the government at Ottavzs.

Further discussion followed by ltfessrs, MacKinnon, wright, Link- letter, J. A. Campbell and others, All stating that they would sup- port the resolutlon. Mr_ Wright expressed strong disapproval of Mr. Hughes’ attitude. How would the Dominion Government know what we want if we do not look after our own interests in the Legisla- ture, he asked?

Mr. Hughes: "Do we not send men to Ottawa to look after the interests of our people?"

Mr. Wright: “Certainly?

Mr, Hughes: “Well?”

Dr. MacMillan: ‘What are they doing?"

Premier's Proposal Premier Campbell thought the proper course wJllld be for our federal representatives. in con- junction wlth the federal repres- entatives from New Brunswick, t0 take the matter up. Constitution- ally, he argued, that ls the only proper method of approach to the Dominion on a question which is peculiarly Dominion in its scope.

Mr. Jones said the Premier of Saskatchewan recently flew to Ottawa and induced them to fix the price of vrtieat at ninety cents.

Mr. McPhee: "If the Premier here could suggest that there was an election pending as the Prehi- ier of Saskatchewan did, he would be able to get results."

Premier Campbell: "'I‘hat might be l. good idea."

Further general discussion fol- lowed.

Premier Campbell criticised cer- tain phrases in the resolution as being ambiguous. Al. his suggestion the petition was addlessed to "Tile Government of Canada" instead of the Waritime Pr-lcea and Trade

moved until the market on potatoes again reaches the maximum prise paid during the first week in March and that s specific minimul maximum price be named minimum price to correspond the ceiling as now to the whoesalere in Toronto and the maximum or new ceiling price to be the highest paid by the wholesalers of Toronto during the first week in March.

Much Dlecneelon

Mr. Wrght explained that the ree- olutlon had been prepared by the ag- ricultural committee of the L-gisla- ture in consultation with the Pled- eration of Agriculture, and had m. ceived the indoraetion of the agricul- tural meetinga held in the P.W.C. hall on Thursday.

The House went into committee on the resolution, with Mr. McIsaac in the chair.

Hon. Dr MecMillan expressed his approval He regretted, however,

that in the selection of a committee pflggd

of agriculture in the Legislature the Opposition had been ignored. “l think," he said. "I should have been on that committee. If I had, when thk matter came up I might have been able to keen beiwe so that cer- tan members of th- farmers‘ delega- tion would not feel that they were dominated by certain members of the agricultural committee. I under- stand that tlre session got very stormy, We are all in agreement, however, with the merits of the reso- lution."

Dr. Macmillan urged that two

members of the House be sent to Ot- 1y

tawa with the resolution, and that if possible they should be accompan- ied by representatives from the Government of New Brunswick to ht the matter in the mint effec- tive way. It was vet‘! "$951M "i! said. that this discriminatory ruling should be removed.

Mr. l-LF. MacPhee said this was one of the most important resolu- tion. to come before the LegL-Jsture at this time, because it no’. only con- cerns itself with a probable heavy loss lo our farmers, but there is also gnvmved a broad question of nersl principles governing the fix g of prices It was understood that season- s were to be exempted l" m0 app ication of the price ceiling.

Hon. .1. A. Campbell said he did not think the authorities would pay much attention to resolutions of this kind. “Why don't our rep- ruentetivee t after this thing in Perliamen i" he asked.

Dr. MacMillan: ‘fBecause they are no good."

Hon. J. A. Campbell: "Were they ever asked? It- is tlie logical way to do it. They are there in om" intereste. We are not sending them there u a bunch of block- heade or talking machines. The representatives from the west go to mtawa and they look after their own interests. We know that the Island is not getting its Just due from the Federal Government on many occasions and we are too proud to tell them about our conditions." Two-thirds of our farms. Mr. Campbell claimed, are mortgaged to the hilt," chiefly for tile reason that heavy losses were incurred in growing POi-MWS- H! we; not very enthusiastic about the resolution, ‘but if we don‘t support it we are getting our- selves into a hornets nest with those that ere advocating it,"

Urgeevigoroieletlon

Dr. MscMillul said he wee eur- that any mem“ should take the view that this Legislature should not take action in a matter 0f this kind. "Let us not talk this thing to death, as to whether it is the function of the legislature or the function of the federal members. Surely with a member of the Dominion Government rep- resenting this Province, we should be able to get consideration. Why shouldn't we speak out when we know that this is hurting our farmers? Some of those men are going to be put mlt of business. We have got to act and act quick-

Premier Campbell: "suppose we have under consideration a policy for the increase of teachers‘ sal- aries and we introduce s bill here. and the Teachers‘ Federation sent a delegation to _

the Dominion Government and the Dominion Parliament passed e ree- olution to the effect that we are giving the teachers tco much sal- ary. or not enough salary?"

"Certifications!" ‘Queenie,

Dr. MecMlllan: ‘That h not l. parallel it all." Premier Campbell: "It is a con- stitutional parallel." Ml‘. ‘Mnl-‘hee: “I think lit is W obvious that an excuse ie 8 sought for not passing this resolution. It is im s5 ble to con- ceive of any eonsttutional ques- tion belng involved at all.

After further discussion, partic- ipated by Messrs. Seville, Mc- Gillgan, W ght, McPhce, Dr. MM- Millan and Pie-ruler Campbell, the resolution was finally agreed to. Mr. Hughes voting "nay."

More discussion followed over the question of sending a repre- sentatlon to Ottawa to present the resolution in conjunction with - msentatfves from New Brunswl .

Alt 6 p.m., the House adjourned to meet again at 12 o'clock noon on Tuesday, March 24.

think the latter was sound.‘ importance of feeding was stressed by the speaker who felt that this was the first facnr to be considered in proper llazching. ‘Hens in higher production nave a higher percentage of fertile eggs. The Poultry Rv-iucta Inspector for Nova Scotia had high praise of the fine quality 0f egfls being ship- pod from Prince Edward Island at present and expressed the belief that this was brought about by the establishment of Registered Egg Grading here several years ago. There is a ready market for these eggs iri Nova Scotia and an expan- sion in the industry here cuuld be absorbed in that province, he de- clared.

Need Selling System

However, a better system of sell- ing should be instituted here he be- lieved. Possibly some central organ- ization would be in a. PNFlOH to give better service in this connec- tion.

Mr. Haggerty stated that the system of dressed poultry pools ox- perimented with in Nova Scotis. have proved to be a splendid educational feature for marketing but. should not be permanent, It teaches co- operation in selling and 1132s away with competitive bargaining. There is a marvellous market for this product in his province. he de- clared. To supply this demand, there should be increased produc- tion. He asserted that chicken; can be hatched twelve months in the year with good results.

Mr. All‘. Darnell, officer h charge of Poultry Marketing and Production Service with the Do- minion Departlnmt of Agriculture in this province, outlined the work in connection with the approved flock policy pointing out that a total of 140 flocks with 16,060 bll"ll were approved for this year's breeding p em. All were blood tented for pilloram disease and the "reaction was .080 which was the lowest on record here and probably the lowest in Canada.

This condition was made possible by the excellent co-operatlon re- ceived from all breeder flock own- ere. he said.

He gtated that s program had been drawn up to check on adult mortality for other diseases which was probably unique 1n such e. large scale breeding" policy. He also re- ferred to hatchery regulations; registered egg grading stations; the market news service: Boy's and Girls’ poultry club policy

The strong demand fol poultry meat during the year result/ed in e. ceiling of 32 cents per pound be- ing p aced on tank-a "sr this demand also had the result of a heavy pro- duction in the poultry industry.

large Shipment

“Between 06,000 and 70,000 thirty- dozcn cases of eggs were shipped out of the province last lear, together with erreetmated 800.000 pounds of dressed poultry of all kinds". Mr. Darnell informed the poultrymen. The industry has an estimated vnlue of about $2,000,000 on the Island.

Mr. W.R. shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture. chairmen of the meeting, referred ‘o its organization in November last and wont on to stress the importance of the poultry industry at present.
