They are being ‘treated in a ‘more satisfactory way by the various departments, and when any error does occur, if it ‘is ‘reported it is quickly a-ttehded to and remed- ied. As an instance oi ‘this, he need only refer to the remarks of the Loader oi ‘the Opposition a short time ago, when ‘that gentleman took to himself great credit-for having attended a Liberal meeting at which some complaint was made ‘in con- nectlon with n ‘pibce of road in the irestcrn end of the ‘Province.

Qursnous AND ANSWERS covnuuc soncuo ., . What is Soilgro? It is a scientific culture of various soil bacteria. What does it do? It changes the elements in or added to the soil into available plant food. What effect has it on the plants? By increasing the available plant food, it promotes a sturdier and faster growth, better root development, more extensive yield and quicker maturity. Can it injure or burn the plants? N0, it merely increases the natural functions. You cannot use loo much. Can i: be used on all kinds of plants? Yes, it may be used with advantage on trees, grains, vegetables, shrubs, flowers, lawns and pastures. Must fertilizer be used with Soilgro? Not necessarily, but the function of Soilgro is to supply the bacteria necessary to make the plant food now in the soil available for use by the plant and the more added, in the way of fertilizer or manure, the better. How often should it be applied? It cannot btrapplictl too often. successive applications will tend-to increase growth and hasten mattirfty. Is humus necessary when Soilgro is used? Yes, humus is necessary as this provides spon- giness in the soil which retains moisture and no plant lifc will exist without moisture. Must it be applied cvcry yea-r? It can’ be with advantage. Under favorable conditions the bacteria build a rcscrve supply of plant food but if the plants are assimilating it and increas- ing their productivity rapidly, it is advisable to provide allthe food they may require. How shouldlSoilgro be mixed? Empty the bacteria food fi-rst and pour contents of Soilgro ‘can onto it and then add five times the amount of the Soilgro can, of clear water, (rain water preferable, but not necessary.) Stir well and cover with cheese cloth or mosquito netting. Let stand in a warm shady spot for five days. Do not expose to the direct rays of the sun as sun rays affect the life of bacteria. " Why do you have to mix it as directed? This releases the bacteria from captivity in air Once a season, but . light carts and provides food on which they thrive and multiply. Can part of contents only be mixed? Yes, but it is better to mix it all at one time as it keeps better in that form. Does Soilgro have a disagreeable smell? Only when first opened. As soon as the hzfrtitless gases that have formed in the can come in contact with the air, this odor immediately disperses. Does it smell when applied to a lawn? No‘ How long will it keep after mixing? From six to eight months, Will mixture evaporate? Not to-any great extent. Ml)’ shouldthe mixture be coveged withcheese cloth? Because mosquitos and other in- sects but the bacteria. ' _ ' “Why shoukLSoilgro be applied in the evening or on .1 cloudy day? Because the direct rays of the sun will kill the bacteria before they have a chance to work into the soil. Who discovered Soilgro? Dr. I. E. Davis, Ph.B., Oph.D., a Canadian chemist and bacteriologist. . " Is it a new principle? N0, it is rather a perfected, method. Bacteria cultures have been used on legumes such as alfalfa, clover, veiches, beans, ctc., for the past I 5 or more years. What is the advantage of Soilgro over other culture? It ischeaper, easier to apply and is adaptable to all kinds of crops, while other cultures are for specific crops only. Is there more than one kind of bacteria in Soilgro? Yes, numerous others serving a specific purpose. What are the different kinds of bacteria in Soilgro? Different groups of nitrogen fixing, ammonifying, nitrifylng and decomposition bacteria. Is Soilgro poisonous? No, it is not injurious to any living thing. Can Sollgro be used on all kinds of soil? Yes, it improves any soil. - Fraser Paper, Limited, FREDERJCTON, April 24—-‘l“he_ led ‘at ‘Plaster ‘Rock, and pernhis- ' ---- -—-——<o->—- LONDON, Ajril 24. — Three wo-i‘ men were among flve hundred ap-i AY I i . lilllfilll f Govern It; Fair Rates Charged, Says Col.

Dr. McMillan) would only say that in his opinion the Leader cl the Opposi- tion had made the worst ofa worse mess.

Tibet has always ‘been our policy. We said that one returned soldier was just as deserving as another. and when ‘for reasons which we considered fit we made changes. l, we replaced returned soldiers with returned soldiers. 0f courscflherc are some exceptions; we admit But on the other hand you consideration; that there are oth- ers besides returned soldiers, and that when a ‘Government is making up its whole employment list it ls not in a position to deal with one vclass alone, however deserving. A "Government must act fairly and the stars‘ must deal with every class of‘ citi- zens, and ‘that means that there must ‘be a few civilians who will get some appointments. This was the very same policy which was followed ‘by the Leader of the Op- position and his friends when they to ‘ were in ‘power, and they cannot de- uy it. We can ‘point to just us many jobs filled during that time by civilians, so that the matter is about in ‘the same position as it was. ‘l may add that the most im- QTTAwA, April 24_T.11s ‘propovg- portant appointment ‘by the Gov- ed removed of tihe Royal Canadian Brnment ‘made within the past year was an appointment given to a re- turned soldier, and replacing a sidered by ‘the department of na- Clvllllll- ‘been reached, ‘said Hon.

But his action in this particular regard corresponds with his actions in every other ‘particular.

Did the Commis- einer ever inform the Lender of the‘ Opposition what he did to those barns during the four yum he occupied his position of manage- ment? Those ‘barns were left, as a matter of fact, in very good con- dition at the end of 1919. The)’ had been for many years out in- the field, away up ‘by the orchard and at a very inconvenient dlsj Lance from ‘the institution, ‘and it had always ‘been a source of diffi- culty and inconvenience to the in- mates to g0 back and ‘forth to those barns. Any farmer will readily understand what l mean, if he were to imagine havinghis ‘barns an eighth or a quarter of a mile away from his home. it is some- thing that wouldn't be tolerated in the country, and under the Arsen- ault Government those ‘barn ‘build- ings were brought down nearer and u splendid improvement in that wuy was made. Had the Govern- ‘mcnt continued in power, a great. dcul more would have been accom- plished, and the barns would have bccn kept in proper repair, But what did lllu Liberal Government do during the four succeeding yours. They looked at those barn buildings tumbling down, just as they looked at our highways and bridges and public buildings tum- bling dmvn, and where necessity compelled them to put In a plank or a board or a prop they did l0. and that was the extent of their repair work. . it was the same with the Falcon- wood barn buildings. This Gov- ‘arnnlont on inking office found re- pairs absoiutely nccessuiy, and ‘be- cause of that necessity more rc- palrs were ‘lone lust year than for many years ‘previous. We had the sum total of four years of neglect, of repair work that should have been done that wasn't done, added to the expenses of normal repair work. in the same way, we found on tuking over ‘the management at idulconwoorl that there was a good deal of trouble about the heating plant. The "boilers were lying out in the yard, and the season was late. With difficulty to gct those two stilcndld new ‘boilers installed before the frost came, and we put that power and heating plant in as good condition as it was possible to do so. lf there is any trouble about Falconwood, and if it is costing too much, that is one particular factor responsible for the leak. But no far n per caplta cost is con- cerned, Falconwood is jun as economic-Hy run as any other in- stitution of the like kind in Canada. There should be u larger revenue. There are ‘patients there whose friends throughout the Province are well able to pay for their maintenance. This mutter has been analyzed and gone into ‘by the Premier during the past few months and will ‘be pushed vigor- cusly to a conclusion. If there are any fees to be pot we will pet them where it is just and proper—pro- vided always that the institution is always open to the deserving poor. There will mwer ‘be any question about that. if a man can- not pay for the maintenance of an insane relative, he is not asked to pay. And it is not fair on the part of the Leader of the Opposition to say that the Premier intimated in his speech that he will cut down expenses there ‘by turning those inmates loose, indiscriminately. MR. SAUNDERS: I didn't sny "lndiscriminutclyx" HON. DR. McMlLLAN: Allrlght, wn will tukc out “indiscriminately?
