FRIDAV, MARCH 23. Inlsh built a SatIat‘orln1I.\ in this pro-I a|,0ul_ um |,u_\-ing oy I-@(.(|5_ Tha hm..
member for \’ictorla chargr-rl that the
Government undertook to buy feed
tor the farmers and disappointed them
and that they had to btty it ihem~
solves again 'ut an inf-|'ca.<r-rl price,
Nr-w this is not so.
THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT
UNDERTAKE T0 BUY FEED. THEY
UNDERTOOK TO TRY AND GET
WHOLESALERS AND FARMERS
A LITTLE CLOSER TOGETHER,
TO GET THEM T0 CO-OPERATE.
AND WITH THAT VIEW GATHER-
ED ORDERS FROM THE INSTI-
TUTES, PLACING THEM WITH
THE WHOLESALERS. WHO
AGREED TO HANDLE FEED ON A
FIVE PER CENT. PROFIT WHEN
THE FEED WAS TAKEN OFF THEIR
HANDS AT ONCE AND PAID FOR
IN CASH. ORDERS WERE NOT
SENT IN BY THE INSTITUTES
WHEN FEEDS WERE CHEAP; AND
AFTER_THE PRICES WENT UP IT
WAS HARD TO PROCURE FEED.
BUT THE DEPARTMENT DISAP-
POINTED NO ONE-THEY DID NOT
ORDER FOR INDIVIDUALS. _AND
ANY INDIVIDUALS THAT DID NOT
RECEIVE THE AMOUNT THEY
PLACED WITH THEIR INSTITUTES
MUST LOOK TO THE INSTITUTES.
lt was :1 mutter Iictwccn themselves
and their institutes. ln thc 'case of
the mcmbcr from Victoria, who said
he could have got bran at $23, thr-
Dcpnrinirnt had no ortlcr i`rom him;
his order, ii' placed, must have been
with the other members of the insti
tutc. in that particular case they
were told to buy at $23 it' they could
get it at that amount. It' they dill not
buy 'thou it was no fault ot' the Dc
parttnc-nt. In tht- case ni' Mt-_. Roper
and .\lr. Ilrown, who are members oi
thc York Institute. their diittcnlty, if
thc., have any. is with that Instituto
as the institute .in question received
their order in full. and st; I`ar 1 have
heurti no complaint from the-tn. So
far as thc- llcpartment was concerned.
it was simply un attempt to assist the
farmers to co-operate with the whole-
salers. the Department. feeling sure
that by so doing the business _could bc-
morc satisiattory to both sides. BUT
THE DEPARTMENT NEVER UN~
DERTOOK TO BUY FEEDS AND NE-
VER BOUGHT ANY. \VlIero they
\\'erc_successful in ussisliilg arrmlgc-~
ments, ihp buying and paying was
dont: ENTIRELY BY THE INSTI-
TUTES."
lu regard to the suggcstlon ot’ Mr.
|.ca that, the tliovcrinnent should cs-
tablish tlcluonstration farnls in dairy-
ing, Mr. .\lt-Klnnon pointed out, that
dcmoilsti-ation farms ot' this kind were
not so easily started and he did not
see that they were so necessary. "\‘\'c
have a lot I.-i demonstration farms
now," he said, “as far as dalrying is
cont-o\'IIctl. ‘I don`t kn0\v that we
could wish for a better demonstration
farm than the hon. member for Vic-
toria hituseli' has. We gather irc-in
what hc- has told us that he has a. 'very
up-to~date farni in that respect. and I
believe Ito has. Supposlng the Go-
vernment rnstttlilislieti a form along-

lion could tht-re be than the demons-

tural lixpcrts in connection with the
Deparinient ot' Agriculture. Mr. .\lc~
