"There is one line oi farming that seems to me offers wonderful inducements and that is horse breeding, For several years past we have been importing horses from the Western provinces to the dis- couragement oi our horse breed- ers. and, in mmiy cases, to the loss of those who purchased these ani- mals. As a result, horse breeding went tn a. new low level. This con- dition we hope to bring to an end. It can be shown very clearly that -breeding horses of the right stock can be made a very profitable business on every farm. What ls needed to develop this business is courage and enterprise. A colt can

A party told me a few days ago that he had an order for a. ear-load of horses but he did not- know where in get them. I feel very much like discouraging the exporting of horses at the present time. ior s1- most every day we are asked where a. horse can be purchased for farm work.

"My hon. friend. the Leader of the Opposition, claims that he im- ported into this province. during those glorious days of old when he was Minister of Agriculture, sever- al stallions. Let us for a moment look into the quality of these ani- mals. One was a Percheron 8 years old for which 83.00000 was paid. This horse failed in pass the Prmnium Inspection. Another was a Shire horse 9 years old for which there was absolutely no demand in this country. The price paid for this horse was $1,000.00. Another Clyde. which was shallow ribbed and undersized cost 8800.00; One only was worthy of consideration and the only one that passed in- spection“ Quite an assortment of horseflesh to boast about and spend a large amount oi the people's money fori"

portation of these horses," impor- tations from the West began to develop. As a matter of fact, dur- ing the period my friend was Min- ister the greatest number of Welt- ern horses were imported into the Province and breeding here was almost at a standstill. Possibly our ‘ ‘ so di " ' ’ with the stallions above referred to that they decided in discontinue ' ' horses at home and secure their requirements from the far West." (Applause).

Mr Ilsa: "Did my hon. friend ever think of importing any bet- “t?”

Hon. Mr. MacNutt: "We are not going into that bus‘ We would rather geucourflke private enterprise." (Applause). "We are, in every possible way, encouraging horse breeding throughout the length and breadth oi the prov- ince. Quite recently Mr. Shaw has been ir-atrumental in, organizing s. Horse Breeders‘ Association. and also a branch oi the Canadian Saddle, Hunter and Light Horse Society. Saddle horse breeding has been a development oi our tenure oi office and Mr. Shaw of our Department selected and brought to this province for one oi our private breeders one of the finest Thoroughbred stallions in Canada today. It is our intention to estab- lish Foal Clubs in this province and in every way possible continue assistance to the horse breedinl industry."

Mr. Lea: "You didn't import a horse at all." .

l-Ion. Mr. MacNutt: "We have kept one and we are negotiating with the Federal Government ior a Clydesdale horse to take his place next season."

HOG BREEDING s OPPORTUNITIES

“Hog breeding is also another line which our Department is pay- ing special attention to. There is before us a splendid opportunity in the way of market requirements to increase our production to a much greater extent than at pres- cnt.

"According to our last census there is, on an average, one hog for every farm on the Island. In Germany, where their farms are much smaller, they - have seven hogs to each farm.

old Land about one half of the required amount to fill our quota oi 280.000.0005 The amount in- creased ‘greatly during the last season, but a considerable amount oi what went in was oi inferior quality. The idea we place before our farmers is to improve their quality and increase the quantify to such an extent that we will IN able‘ to do our part to fill the quota‘, so that when the five yearn will have expired we can go back y, g1‘, British pgoplc and tell them that we have filled our agreement both In regard to quality and quantity and that we wish to. con- tinue the arrangements.

TIIE MARITIME MARKET

"m addition to the requirements of the British market, we have quite an extensive market riahi l‘? our door. The Mariime Provinces produces 120.000 uoss. That is really one-half of what is oon- sumed. So that in order that the supplying of this market may be confined to the Maritime farmers we will have to double our produc- tlon.

“One Maritime packer reported a short time ago that they were compelled to import 80% of the pork products for Maritime con- sumption. In this province we have the best bacon hogs in North Am- erica. We are the only one of the Lin-cc provinces producing u. sur- plus.

BACON BOAR POLICY

"Consistent port bu been given to hog rllsing, particularly in scciions in which very little st-

" has been paid to this in- dustry. The Department has en- deavoured to place hog raising on g pcrlhlllllll basis of production irrespective oi market fluctuations. To chi; cud new policies in the form of a. Bacon Boar Policy through which about 50 high olll! premium boars have been lllwfll in the last qightcen months; a Sow Breeding Policy through which a large number of sows hive be"!

' * J and placed at cost; a Sow Club Policy through which defin- ite assistance is proposed and I flog Test station for the conduct of Advanced Iveghiry work in boll have been established.” (Applause)-

POULTIIY INDUSTRY

l‘ he winter getting in excep- tionally early iu the fall oi 1933. causing the loss of so much succu- lent feeds and the two dry $905131“ in succession were the main causes of the lowering of the milk supply.

"What a man that is in the dairy business should do." Mr. MacNutt suggested, “is to grow sufficient corn and green feeds t0 meet conditions as they exist dur- ing the dry season then there will be no let up to the flow of milk.

"I have every reason to believe that dairying will pay even under present conditions. Herc i5 a re- port from one of our leading dairymen, Mr. R. A. Profit of Bed- equc. Last season the factory statements show that he received $513.00 from SCVCII cows. At the present time he is making $60.00 a month with a cash outlay of $l0.00. In addition he is raising 5 calves and 0 11085.

FOX INDUSTRY

"The fox industry is very rap- idly bccoming an important part oi the livestock industry on the average farm. A great measure of educational value has been broad- casted through the medium oi fox exhibitions. These institutionsserve as a. meeting place where fox breeders may gather and discuss matters of mutual interest and by following the ' Judging inform themselves on correct types and quality, A great measure of uocd has been done in this way,

“I am pleased to say that we have given full support to these shows and three of them have been successfully established in the province, namely the Big Reg- istered show at Charlottetown and the shows at Borden and Aiberton. Further educational work is under consideration A special effort will have to be made ii we are going to retain the high standard we have hereto possessed.

WHEAT GROWING

While centering our attention largely on the production of live- stock which is very necessa y, we must not lose sight of other prof- itable lines of farming, such as wheat, barley, oats, nor can we sf- ford to lose sight of our vegetable production. Wheat can very prof- itably be raised in this province. Speaking for myself, I have made more money on wheat during the last four or five years than on any other grain. Oats also at present is bringing a fairly profitable price, and ii we are going into hog raising on as large a scale as we are able to we should have a plen- tiful supply of barley, as exper- ience has shown that barley is very essential in successful hog haising.

The grain cleaning situation is also meeting with every encour- agement from our Department. There has beenone established at Emerald which is receiving assist- ance from our Department and we intend encouraging the placing of‘ plants in other central points throughout the Island, For it is absolutely necessary in order that we have the highest production that the grain should be properly cleaned and graded.

In egetables also we cannot lose our faith in potatoes for they will always be a staple article of food and will always command a fair price. The trouble, during the past two years, has been over- production both here and in the United States. The obvious lesson from the experience we have guin- ed is that we must regulate our production according to the mar- ket outlook.

"Last year the Americans open- ed their coffers to the farmers, loaning them what money they needed for the purchase of fertil- iser. This move was taken advant- age of by the farmers and the re- sult was over-production which domoraiized their market for Can- adians as well as for themselves. This can be remedied by prudent management.

AN SWIBS OPPOSITION LEADER.

"My hon. friend. the tender of the- Opposition, complained that the Department oi Agriculture has not showed the activity it did in former years. while it was un- der his direction. It will be re- numbered. however, that the De- partment of Agriculture in the happy days of yore, when, the present loader of the Opposition

COW TESTING POLICY

"As has already been intimated the intention of the Department is to reintroduce the Tuberculih Test so that our disease free area may be perpeuated .and our cattle herds may maintain the excellent reputation which they have al- ready achieved. It is the intention also to have a field man appointed at an early date to carry on Cow Testing to assist in the establish- ment of calf clubs and other ac- tivities lncident to successful edu- cational work. In connection with the Cow Testing it is hoped to es- iablish individual merit not only in breeding but in production so that a definite record of produc- tion for each individual animal may be obtained so the prospec- ive purchaser of any animal may know exactly the kind of ani- mal he is purchasing.

"This fleldman will also be linked up with boys‘ club work teaching them how to feed their animals and the proper feed to give them that they may obtain the best results, and how to weigh and test their milk, and also, af- ter the club has ceased to exist to form breeders‘ clubs with-a defin- ite program alongiprogressive livc stock lines. To assist and organize farmers’ institutes, swinc and sheep extension and other policies undertaken by the Department oi Agriculture. will be part of his of- ficiai- duties.

“The carrying on of the services of the Department. particularly to outlying sections, which are. to some extent, handicapped, is an important part of our present poi- ioy and it is our Intention to usc this and other officials in estab- lishing this service whore they are most urgently required.
