It is expected that Canada will be maintained on an eight or lilne billion dollar production as at resent. e criticised Premier Drew of Ontario for going to London and establishing an Ontario office. "You would think Ontario was all of Canada,” he said. He noted also that Premier Drew is reported to _ have addressed a meeting of the Ehrlpire Parliamentary Association in London. Premier Smuts also made a speech. "We have heard what Premier Smut: said. but we have never heard what Premier Drew said. Apparently his speech has not yet been released. I don't know why.“ _ Dr. MacMillan: "They ere wait- ing for you to go over and speak there." Premier Jones: “I am if I go to London. and I might do as well as he, anyway)‘. Cum‘ ' . he emphasized the Possibilities in cattle marketing in Ellfllllu after the war. Reverting to the food conference at ‘lot Springs, he said councils had been one of the con- ference's recommendations. He “'85 Dleased that a nutrition coun- cil has been established here and comnhnded the work done by lts| members under the leadership of Sister Iona. "I can assure yell." he added. “that the Government will do everything possible to meet their wishes, because we believe nutrition to be one of the most important. subjects." He reviewed the past crop sea- son. mphaslzlng the damage caused by the potato blight. Storage Warehouses _ Progress had been made. he said, lll the policy of providing storage warehouses. Two men were ob- tained from Ottawa who made : survey of the Province and they located eleven points on the rail- way where warehouses might he constructed. Their suggestions have not yet been adopted. The idea is to store potatoes n the lower part, imported western grain in the up- per part. and in the centre llnle- stone which could be held in stock for the use of farmers. In addition the Dominion Government had "rather insisted” on a seed clean- ing plant. "While we didn't get down to the financing of these warehouses still we had the suggestion from them that they would pay 50 per cent of the cost. I think we might have done better. When we found that the farmers were back in their work we decided to let the storage plans go for I943. “Another proposal was to pro- vlde machinery to dig cellars for farm storage. That suggestion, I think, is a good one and perhaps will be taken. up in the near fu- ture I am convinced it will be a real benefit. to the farmers to have a place to hold and store their roots." He also stressed the need of grain storage. Farmers are paying as much as $225 for barley meal. which works out to about $2.50 per 100 ounds for barley, whereas by purc aslng cooperatively they could get it for $1.43. Low Turnip Price: Turliips, he noted, are selling at 30 cents. Recently be visited a de- hydration plant ln Ontario where they ing cents a on't see why turnips stay at such : low price on this Island," he said. "There must. be some getting to- lzether of the merchants on that. They must be making money. There does not seem _to be any reason why they should not keep lll; with the celll g, which they are not doingatt eprlesenttime” He then spoke at some length on dairying, reviewing the history of the industry since its establish- ment at New Perth in 1892 by Dr. James Robertson. of the airy Commission of Canada. Today the milk cow is coming into her own and dairying is recognized as play- ing an important part in restoring depleted farms, "There are men who depend on fertilizer and lime." he said. "but. they will have all kinds of trouble if they don't use green crops and manure. There is nothing as good for providing Emphaslzin the importance of dairy inspect on, he said he had heard that the inspection tho all they had got in the last fifteen years. Before another year it i: planned to establish a laboratory here for inspection purposes. “0llelHhI" Iaelorlll The Premier said he had been accused by the Opposition leader of charging that some dairy fac- torles were "cheating." "Imay have said that on the hustlngs and I am going to repeat it in House. I hope the hon. lnembe is‘ satisfied." Dr. Maclvlillan: “Not till you prove . Premier Jones said he could prove it-from the statistics of the Dominion Government. He in- stanced one cooperative factory which had an over-run of 30 per cent. That would be practically impossible under proper manage- ment. It couldn't be dons except bv "cheating on the books." The management. afiparently was J doing it "to ma their factory as against another cooperative factory from whom they wanted to get cream, But they were cheating their own patrons in this way, that they couldn't draw their subventions from the Domin- ion Government." ust e a good show for! first, freedom from hunger, andlbee; “m, u Plans are being made toward this In’; last. “Somebody who didn't , not depend on much from shipments. successful in obtaining a revision f -thi: order last November, New- foundland agreeing to restore the "oi-mar quota number.

H: advised farmer: who now ave cattle in their stalls to narrv them over to ass. and if they can get a boat t ey will have a very profitable trade, Beef will be in high demand. despite the fact that every storage in Canada is filled todav. I": and Poultry He also dealt. briefly with hog marketing and pOllltry production In the latter conrleclon he cre- dited the former Minister. Mr. W. H. Dennis, with greatly developing the hen population of the Island. We transport now almost 5.000.- 000 dozen eggs a year. The Pre- mier calculated the Island's total production to be about 130000.000 earls a year. He wondered why City people. such as doctors and lawyers, did not raise a few hens and thus har- tlclpate in food roduction. "Not half the Opppslt on are produc- ing their own eggs." he added, “and yet they are telling the farmer: how to do it." Dr. MacMlllan: "How many hens have you at Falconwood Farm?" The Premier did not answer. ‘Mr. Dennis, he said, must have raised about 60.000 chickens last year. Dr_ MlicMillan: "If you do as well you will be all right." Premier Jones: $100,000 was spent for chicks last year, but unfortun- ately 80 per cent of them died." This was due to pullorllm, a dis- base which also causes hundreds of thousands of dollars loss in production. His government un- dertook to check this disease. Up to date the hatcheries have not found any deaths among the chickens this year. By careful work it is hoped to completely clean up this disease in five or six years. "If we can do this, we can sell out eggs for hatching purposes clear down to Texas.” he said. Over 50,000 hens have been blood tested at a charge of 3 cents per hen, which was the cheapest rate of any province in Canada. Disease Free Cattle In the case of cattle, it is hop- ed to promote pure bred herds. "I may say that our veterinarians are far ahead of our doctors in the matter of tuberculosis treatment. We have about 08,000 cattle in the Province at the present time, andt in the areas tested this year we Fave only eleven reactors. That is the sameas if you applied the patch test to cattle and only eleven re- acted, and they were slaughtered, and not one of them showed any lesions. It we bad been able take them to a hospital and put that IIUOIOSCOPg on them, not one cow in this Island would have had tuberculosis. That is one of the adléantages of living on an Isl- “ _.. The" Premier also referred to the comparative freedom of Island cattle fronl bangs disease- I-le cited the grants recently an- nounced by the New Brunswick Government for assistance to live- stock breeding associations. and commended this as " a very good way to improve livestock in this Pro e" The Irish Moss industry, he said, had languish d" this year because of over-production. Dr. Needler will endeavor this spring to find a method of grading the moss for export. The Department of Fisheries is also being petition- ecl to provide an inspector. lmimier Jones next dealt Wlth fertilizer prices and distribution. The arrangement this year, he said wouldmot be as satisfactory l: very far ahead" hail changed the bonus system, with the result that the farmers of Queen's County will have to pay more for their fertilizer. The peo- ple who buy the concentrate tilizer will also be punished. Dominion Government will save half a million dollars or more, but it will run into “considerable crit- icism". However. he did not think fertilizer would be noticeably higher. and in any case it will not be felt very much because prices are higher. u Mr. McKenzie: “Isn't it higher? Premier Jones: "Slightly high- . er lldr_ fvlcKenzle: "About $3.00 a quite so ton." The Premier discussed at solne length the ingredients of fertil- izer and the difficulty of obtain- lr sufficient quantities of potash. Province. he said. was able to get some concessions over and above its quota lest year. "We are trying to do the same thing this I year. We got at least 250 extra tons of fertilizer here lately. From this time on I intend this make a list of the names of these young inen who can't get fertilizer and while I can't proml.s_e it, I think around the last of April that some little concession can be se- cured in the way of potash for this province." Illmeetone Quarries Last summer the Government had made inquiries about obtain- ing supplles of limestone. Premier Jones said. They found they coltlgl c Saint John quarries. Tlley wont l to Nova Scotia and found n quarry which probably can supply tilts Province with 4.000 to 5,000 tons. Finally they located a quarry bc- ing developed by J. J. leClcrc at Drapeau. Quebec, which can slip- ply about 20.000 tons a year. The _ perlmental Fann llad the promise of about 5.000 he from the Snowflake quarry, Saint John. and about 5.000 from a No- va Scotla quarry which would be about 40 cents higher, making a total of 30,000 tons. “In my opin- ion the farmers will ask for more, but they won't be able to et it." . c ' we are getting it all, but that quar- ls prevented from shipping in te Eastern Townshi and they were forced by the l e adminis- tremor to send it in thi: direction." Mr. Heath Strong: "Do l under- ha Province of Que- bec has no money in the scheme at all?" Premier Jones: “I don't know. That is arranged with the admin- istrator at Ottawa." Mr. Strong: "The Province of Prince Edward Island has. The Province of uebec i: aylrlg noth- ing snd gett ng some hing out of it Is that it?" Premier Jones: “That may be so. I will find out " Farm Labor The Premier went on to em ha- slze the difficulty of obta nlng farm labor and the neceenrily low wages paid in this province as compared with Ontario and other places. He regretted the necessity of taking children from the schools to work on the farms. Dealing with the fisheries, he referred to a conference to take place next week between represen- tatives from Newfoundland. Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Quebec, with special reference to the herring fishery. This govern- ment intends to appoint two out- standing men connected with the fisheries in this province to pro- ceed tn Ottawa and take part in the conference. There is a big development to- day in fishing offshore with long line boats and draggers, "If this province does not get busy and make these boats. which are around 100 tons. people from oth- er countries will come here and take the fish right from under our shores," Premier Jones de- clared. He hoped that at the Ot- tawa conferencg something def- inite would be done to secure lar- ger boats and get. "a consistent crop cf fish coming to this Pro- vince to be canned and cured." He went on to describe the soil survey instituted by Dr. Whlteside of the Dominion Experimental Fann, who did not charge for his services. The understand‘ was that. the Province would provide him with an assistant. A plant lab- Igtory is being set up at the Ex- where there is a large map showing King's [lid Queen's counles where soil types have been put on in different col- ors. Soil analysis, however, must be followed by carefully experi- menting and rioting the. respon- ses. Mr. McPhee: "What is our fin- ancial contribution?" ' Premier Jones: "We cohtribu the assistant to Dr. Whiteslde." Mr. McPhee: "What about the laboratory out there, i: that not costing, us anything?" Premier Jones: "Apparently not.” At presentuhe said. it was r a as iJlSilNt HY NEW VEOEYABLL Ielt dadrablaf C? lan $2. D - and YD lemmas with o. m.

The Govern- merit was trylns to tut the ramp! widened for the buses m come over on the car ferry, They llld also arranged that railway tickets will be good on the busses.

He also referred to tho appoint- ment of Dr. Bishop a: provincial veterinarian, and to his work in connection with puliorum disease. Dr. MacMillan: "Is that the work that Dr. Curlnlngham, from Sum- merside,_wa.s doing?" Premier Jones: "Mr. Dennis could answer that. I think they had the work done elsewhere." Dr. Mlllan: "What llirk we: Dr. Cunningham doing?" Premier Jones; ‘Occasionally when work of that kind was re- quired they hired a local veterin- arian, and paid him so much, be- cause there wa. no provincial vet- erinarian. There was a good deal of that type of work done by the local practitioner. If Dr. C - ham did it last year be made a very bad job of it." Dr MacMillan: "Isn't Dr. Oun- ningham a laboratory man?" Premier Jones: "m; may be. I don't know much about him." Dr. MacMilian: "Evidently not." Premier Jones went on to com- paln that two doctors had been obtained by the medical procure- ment board for districts in Prince County, whereas Belfast was in been ignored. Dr. MacMillan explained that Tyne Valley and Cape Traverse had made application to the med- ical procurement board and after much negotiation and two cvacuec Austrian doctors had been obtained. “So far as my hon. said. “no one from that ment made by the Premier support a doctor. or that done. passed during the last war. a1 education at len cultural colleges.
