As an example of the criticism to which he referred. Mr. Sharp cited the following article from the Moncton, N. B. Transcript (Liberal) which had been republished in the local Liberal organ a few days ago: "J. W. Boulter, of Charlotte- town, manage for the Prince Edward Island Potato Growers‘ Association and formerly minis- ter of agriculture for that pro- vince, here yesterday en route to his home after n visit to Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal in the in- terests of the sssociation.~ "He had been greatly interes- ted, he said in the remanks made in the New Brunswick legislature last week by F. W. Price, M.P.P., on the subject of the effect the marketing board regulations were having on thesale of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island potatoes. There was no doubt that pegging the price of ‘this commodity by the board had had an adverse effect on the sale of Maritime potatoes. Flor one thing, it. had resulted in the complete loss of the United States market to growers in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Potatoes were selling at such a low price in Maine at present that even before the price was pegged the Ilnited Stem growers enjoyed an ad- vantagp of 15 cents per bushel, owing to the duty 0n imported stock which was imposed by the United States customs. and when the pegged price in Can- ada came into effect it auto- matically dsstroyed any chance Maritime growers might have of marketing their potatoes across the border." Quotes Agency Order order, dated Feb. 23. issued by Mr. advising all representatives to the following effect: "Effective Monday, lileb. 25. 1985, and until otherwise advised you are hereby authorized to make ship- ments of potatoes to the United States and Newfoundland markets without regard to minimum prices that may beestsblished for the Canadian markets from time to time. "You are also exempted from ord- ers under "Terms of sale" as set out in our circular No. 1-25, dated Jan. 20, 1935, so far as sales to the Unl- ted States or Newfoundland mar- kets are concerned." This menu, Mr. Sharp pointed out, that there are no trictiuns whatever against exporting Island potatoes to the United States or Newfoundland, and it was plainly evident that the matter had been ted in the article pub- lished in the New Brunswick Liberal paper and reprinted locally h the Patriot. On this subject, Mr. Sharp had just received a letter from\the Fled- eral Minister of Agriculture, enclos- ing a letter from Dr. L. I‘. Burrows. chairman of the Eastern Canada Potato Manketing Board, in which figures were given showing the com- parative prices being paid for pota- toes to the farmers in the area un- Board (namely. in Ontario, New Bruns- wic , Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia) on Jan. 21, before the price pegging regulations became operative, and on Feb. 28, after they had been put into effect. The fig- - ures showed that Prince Edward Island potatoes were quoted on Jin- dl at from 5 to l0 cents a bushel: they are now quoted at from 13-14 cents. The information was based on reports of what four large deal- ers were paying. Csr- Shipments Again, Mr. Sharp cited figures he had obtained from the railway de- pirtmant here. These figures show- ed that in January, 151 cars of pota- toes, or about 112.500 bushels, had cars, or 140,500 bushels. standstill. In reply to the statements made in the article, Mr. Sharp quotedsn J. J. Trainer, provincial marketing that almost simultaneous with the importation of these horses that importatlons of horses from West- ern Canada began to develop. "As a matter of fsot, added the Mlnkter, “during the period which my friend was Minister the greatest number of Western horses were into the Province and b here was almost st s Possibly our farmers be- came so disgusted with the imported stallions I have referred to that ,hey,.,.w,u .. .. horses at home and secure their re- quirements from the far West.

Mr. Ice: "That shows the bene- fit of our policy." ' Hon. Mr. Sharp: “Not that class. All these horses are imported horses, or horses from imported stallions, and they all passed tho premium inst.

He gave details of the pro- cesses in each case. The Govern- ment does not claim that these roads will be satisfactory, Mr. sharp insisted. They are merely an ex- periment; but if successful they may prove to be the solution of our prob- lem of low-priced, dust-proof high- way construction.

Trans-Canada Highway "file dust nuisance, however, has been a matter of increasing com- plaint. especially on the part of automobile tourists. This matter also had been receiving attention, and a start had been made last year, in cc-operation with the Dominion Government, to build hard-surfaced highways. At the last session, Mr. Sharp had stated that the Dominion Prime Ministers understanding of a trans- Canada highway was not a hard- surfaced road, but a gravelled road. This was the type of trans-Canada highway constructed in other Pro- vincm. 'I‘he Provincial government representatives had explained to the Prime Minister, however. that gravel province, and he had agreed to send an engineer here to look over the situation. m. Sharp, in mention- had expressed the hope that the work would be started in the sum- mer, but he had not said the Prime Minister would pay 100 percent of a hard-surfaced road. Mr. McIntyre: "He agreed to the second alternative." Hon. Mr. Sharp: “No, he agreed to send an engineer, and that en- gineer wss to make his report to him, which he did. His report was in favour of the hard-surfaced road. but the cost was entirely different." Continuing, Mr. Sharp explained what the cost of a gravelled high- way in this Province. would be. Gravel can be obtained tom the Conway pit for 50 cents per ton; it can be hauled to Charlottetown for 4 cents p6!‘ 100 weight. With the co-operat‘ and assistance of the different companies, the Govem- ment had been able to get a reduc- tion in railway carrying charges down to 3 cents per 100 weight, or 00 cents a ton. This would mske the cost of gravel $2.00 a ton to place on the road. At the least calculation, 2,000 tons per mile would be required, or $4,000 a mile to gravel the Charlottetown-Borden ighway. if the Bennett Govern- ment had given this gravel road and paid the full cost, their obliga- tion to construct the trans-Canada highway would have beci fulfilled, this being the type of Trans-Can- ada highway from the Atlantic lo the Pacific. .~ You got special: Mr. McIntyre: consideration." Hon. Mr. Sharp: “We got special consideration bocaule we got $5,500 P" wards the hard surfaced, blth m“, in place cg a gravelled high- wgy gt 24,000 per mile." (Applause). Inter, Mr. Sharp explained, it was decided to experiment with a cheap- er type of hard surfaced road, and an offer was accepted from the Im- perial Oil Company to experiment. with 40.000 galleria of oil for this purpose, to be paid for in propor- tion to the success of the project The company sent an engineer hereI flee o: cost, and the spraying ma- ‘perienced by the Msaoclatwn} b lieved and firmly . men e . - mu‘ M Mun‘ mnmhnurlxi; f 1mg, that the Association should not cease (had done a great service in maklml fertilizer available at reduced cost to our farmers.

It will have a Deisel engln e, burning crude oil, with propellers replacing the old-fashioned paddle wheels. The cost will be approximately $30.- 000 and provision for tho work will be made in the Estimates this ses- sion. SIMS BUILDING LIA! Satisfactory arrangements have been made to lease the old Sims building. Mr. agreement has been signed whereby the building is to be leased for 8100 a month to the Department of Na- tional Defence, lighting and heating to be paid for by the tenant. This amount will come within $300 an- nually of paying for the rent of the old Princq Edward Island Hospital, in which 120 Falconwood i tients Sharp said. The are housed. Opposition criticism that the old west wing at Falconwood have been salvaged and rebuilt was answered by Mr. Sharp, who cited the report of Mr. Gavin. the archi- tect of the new Prince Edward Is- land Hospital, and other authorities. who after a thorough investigation had advised against reconstruction. could "Of course," added the Public Works Minister, "my hon. friends consider it a good p say that we should have rebuilt the west wing.
