Pointing out the many ad- vllliflses of the Maine sea coast resorts. (One. oi’ the advertise- meme was here quoted.) The resolution went on to say: “Whereas ,tliere are throughout the Maritimes. coast resorts coin- parable with any in Maine which the people of these provinces are devoting their energies to popu- larize, we feel that the ‘C.

The discussion on Transporta- tion was opened by Mr. W. S. Fisher, who quoted the words of Bacon: “Fertile fields. busy work- shops, and easy transportation of goods from place to place, make a country great and prosperous." Mr Fisher went on to discuss the win- ter port question, of which the benefits. he said would be wide spread. Every new line of steam- ers would open up a wider vista and field for employment. >What the IMaritimes needed most of all was a greater confidence in their own future, and a greater produc- tion than was now the case. This would bring about a gradual build- ing up of trade. Besides a larger home market they want more of the winter traffic. Tho Maritimes had untold possibilities, no parts bad greater advantage in geo- graphical position, aud they held the key to the whole Imperial trade in being an important link in its commerce. There should be by-‘the governments oi’ the three provinces the conference believes it may he safely left in their hands.

WHAT WAS NEEDED was A COMPLETE AGRICULTURAL RESURRECTION. Agriculture was iuseperably independent with com- merce: _ ‘ Tlieficinedy for the condition was b8 much new blood as could be induced to flow freely into the farm's, The task of bringing this about could not -be loft to others. An immigration policy should be continued uninterrupted for many years. The speaker concluded by point- ing out bow the Western ‘provinces hail made use of their opportunit- ies. With the yawning markets of Europe as a market for their surp- lus goods. the Maritime provinces could be the veritable Denmark of Canada- They had an opportunity they should ‘not fail to grasp and until they did their problems would remain unsolved. Mr.Cong don said that he had ar- rived at a somewhat different con- clusion on the matter of immigra- tlon- if they could not arrive at some common course there was no hope. The agricultural exports did not nearly come up to the consum- ption and 7.000 farms were vacated in the last twenty years. in the same period Denmark had added 14,000 farms, in NovaBcotIa some apple growers bad been making a PROFIT of 4c on every barrel of apples they shipped. British Colum- bla apples were selling in Halifax at the rate of $10.50 a berrel, just because they were boxed, while the Eastern grower made a custom of packing his in barrels. This was due to collossal stupidity and the farmers and agi'icuiturists of the Maritimcs were drifting along llko a flock of sheep without a leader. Three things were wrong with the marketing of farm produce in the Maritimes. They were improper or insufficient grading and packing, improper marketing. and lack of education of the demands of com- mcrce on the part of the farmer. Thirty years ago Denmark had been a ruined country today its peo- ple were llio riches-g in the world. They had undergone a system of education and co-operatlon, while in this country it was true that many of the farmers did not seem to want to listen to reason. Eng- land demanded a. rigid grading of all products imported, Unless these things were looked aftcr the [arms would’ continue to ilecllno and it would ‘be impossible to bring new blood into the country. Mr. Balding, the ilext speaker, re- ferred to the fact that the object of the meeting was to draft a case to be presented to the Winnipeg con- fercnco. and owing to the limited time available it would be best to stick closely to the subject under discussion- On a motion by him it was dccldcd ‘to limit each speaker entcring on the discussion to ton minutes. ‘ Mr. E- T, lllggs said that one reason that people would not stay on the furm was because of the labor involved, Today's age was pleasure seeking. and ‘the farms would not prosper until they were owned by a breed of men who standardized this was not so in ping facilities should be improved. and a. large frostproof warehouse should bo erected in the city, on". capable of holding n million bush- els. There should be more frciglii and refrigerator cars for politicos. Now only half the demand was be- ing supplied. Charlottetown should be made a. port of call on lilies to Newfoundland. There should bc lower rates from Montreal. There was now a higher rate from hero to Newfoundland than from ‘Moll- troal to Liverpool. Tho Convention closcd with vot- os of thanks to the Press, lllC inc- al board for entertainment and hospitality. and ‘the Provincial Kill" ernment and tho Premier ior tho use of the Legislative chagubors and other kind acts- Wedriosday'e Session Mr, Sclandore. as at the session of the Milrlllmfl torday. said that the purpose m‘ the on this matter was to help remrf/e the causes of the present Maritime depression .bv suggesting a remedy- The average increase of population in Canada in a decade was between 18 and l9 per cent. On this basis ihepopulation-of the three Mari- time provincos‘ in the years from 1901 to i921 should have lncrcastxi to 1,244,737.‘ whereas it was fillY nnw 1,000,328. l The exodus was a tragic circum- stance in tho well being of tho Maritime! but after the second gen- eration in a farming family. it WM s natural result ofethe natural law of action and rclsction. Sixty five pcroont of our prominentibuslneris men were horn on the farm. and immigration had kept tip farm im- migration. But in the ‘Maritimes to- day it was all ‘give and no get. Tho farms were working on one cylin- der. illlibor. because of tho exodus had become more expensive and many farmers could not accustom themselvei to the new‘ order of thing's. products bad ‘been penalt- ted to dwlndlo and as the years passed the situation grew more lor- loos. acontent took root. new and spread. and many lost all heart, initiative and enterprise. When the people lost faith in the land ‘it was a serious circumstance. And this apathetic resignation was not restricted to agriculture. The Maritimee would never he right tin- , _ y... _ ... g, ‘m... .i the ‘broad sense of tho word. Shipv would work. The educational sys- tem would have to be changed and the people educated to stay on in- stead of leaving the farm. Just now tho grcatcst product of the furm was the strong physique and clear brains of its ‘sons and daughters- lf. N. S., and N, B-, said the speaker, increased its production, then there would be that much mar kcl lost to the farmers oi‘ l’. E, l. ‘Mr. A- E- Dewar said that local ‘apples sold foiq$5 a. barrel in Mon- itreal. but that. iho local npplo imarkct was the worst iii the world. ‘LN. S. growers had no interest iii ‘the marketing of box apples as their product was not suitable. i w, w, r. Tldmsrsh said that ‘Poles and other immigrants had ‘cnnio to the New England States ‘and been very successful farmers. i i i |wcré asking what Bra S , sgof America had brought up its ‘population to about 08.000",- ooo before it imi ‘beguii w populate the west." Here on East ‘us not able to stand the drain made upon , Australia had availed litself of ‘ Empire loah to start coionizsl ton oii an extensive scale. What was needed was a s stem that would help the immigrant and ex- tend to him a sympathetic hand. The ‘Egg an Poultry Association and the Potato Growers Associa- tion with their cooperative buying were about the oniy_thing' that was keeping up the courage of the loc- al farmer. Selective immigration and additional industries directly related to agriculture were advocat- ed by the speaker, . Major Ashton. a repiesentative of the Soldiers’ Civil Ila-establish- ment ‘Board said ithat there were two or three phases of coloniza- tion. Settlement of forest lands. in which the settler took a lifetime to carve out a farm, western settle- ment. which through the past col- onization of free lands had new slowed up almost to a full stop- The Marltimee were now up against the time when it was ripe to strike. The West was out of ithe ring and on more of a parity with the East- ern provinces. This year 500 families had set- tled under the Empire Coloniza- tion scheme, and forty of these had settled in the Marltimes. Their lands compared favorably with those of the other provinces. After the war 60 per cent of the settlers brought ‘to Canada had gone to On- tarlo. That province had put her Crown lands in the front windows of Europe. The pessimistic attitude 0f the people of ithe Maritimes was very discouraging to new settle- ment, and what was needed was a campaign of education and faith in their country. Next year the imper- ial Settlement scheme expected to bring between twenty and thirty families to this Province. If suffic- ient busincse men would get te- gether they could evolve a defin- ite and successful settlement scheme. Mr. Bclding said they had listen- ed to an immigrant speaking from that standpoint. lt was the first practical suggestion that had been made. The rest of Canada was not interested in knowing whether or not apples should be boxed and he would again remind the speakers that all extraneous matter should be left out of the dlSCMSSIOII. He wondered if the delegates fully rea- lized the real importance of this meeting held in this building of all buildings, This and the Winnipeg confer- ences, were. to the‘ mind of the‘ speaker. tlic itwo most significant conferences sincc" Confederation. They were to discuss the fact that thorc was something essentially wrong with the country, four geo- graphical sections cach with its own diverse sectional problems. Tlicy bud arrived ut a point where thcy must get together and endeav- or to ‘ discover some means by which they could build up a united Dominion. The other provinces the Maritlmes wanted in a very sympathetic way. The delegates to these two confer- ences must bear in mind that they wore there AS iGAiNADIANS.
