Restaurant operators in the Province state that their present menu prices do little more then meet their costs on many foods. and it is expected that a revis- ion will take place in the near future. As the basis for the in- creased nrices they will take pre- sent high prices of all foods. fuel. and overhead. together with the higher wages which must now be paid to their help.

Sharp Drop In lieiurns from N. B. Poiaioes FR.ElDi3RlC'ION, March 13 - (OP)-A large reduction in finan- cial returns to New Brunswick potato growers for the 1950 crap, as comp ed with previous years. was reported in the Legislature today by H. C. Greeniaw (L- York). Resurning the Throne Speech debate after the week-end ad- journment, Mr. Greenlaw, a prom- inent potato exporter. said that norms”. returns for an average potato crop in the Province were from sl'i.000.000 to szo.oo0.oco. so far this ”',,' season. however. only about 35,000,000 had been received. Although fewer potatoes were on hand than at the "corresponding date last year, the altuaion was worse because the some markets were not available. shipments to the United states had practically ceased since the low duty rate quota was filled long ago. New Brunswick shippers and growers had to depend almost entirely on the Canadian market. which could not absorb the balance. Mr. Grecnlw said he consider- ed that New Brunswick growers were not receiving "the same con- sideration as producers in other parts of Canada and even forcicn countries."

Says Proiesis lusiifledie Tax Agreimeni The Opposition resolution intro- duced ln the Legislature in 1917 with regard to the Dominion-Prm vinoial tax agreement was amply justified in the light of the address given in the House this year by Mr. William Hughes, former Pra- vincial Treasurer, declared Mr. J. Philip Matheeon. Second District of Queen's. in speaking on the Draft Address on Monday evening. Citing Mr. Eugher analysis of the Island's fiscal need claims, and the manner in which the present agreement has fallen short of sat- isfying these claims. Mr. Matheson recalled that the Opposition reso- lution of 1941 had criticised the Payments as being unable to stab- ilize the revenue of the Provime, and of failing to safeguard the Province's statutory claims. "Tonight we heard that the first offer made to this Province was 83.000000. and later they increas- ed it to 82.100000". Mr. Mathcaon said. '"I'ho.t was quite I. revelation to me. to know that at that time they were going to stop at that. "But we didn't get that 32,100,- 000. because we already received 8647.000. You are claiming credit for the statutory subsidies as well. You only got the standard amount that the other Provinces received. plus what we had already obtain- ed through agreements presented to Ottawa throughout the years. "At the time that this agreement was argued. it was claimed that we received 322 per capite, when we only received the standard of some 1315' per capita plus the old subsid- es. "This was precisely what we contended at that time, and the facts have proved the wisdom of the resolution which we introduc- ed. and which was killed in-' 1941 on the floor of this House. We certainly hope that we shall get it beter deal at the next conference." Mr. Matheson said that there was no question as to the importance of extending old age pensions pro- visions, but this subject was in- troduced at Ottawa coupled with a proposal for a provincial ules tax. He emphasized the danger of am- ending the British North America. Act in this regard, quoting from a Guardian editorial in this connec- tion. Referring briefly to the Trans- Canads Highway route. Mr. Math- eson said the new North River bridge should either have been placed further down the river. or else left on its old site. l-larder hitting tactics by the members of the Legislature to stir up interest in the House proceed- ings were advocated by Mr. Math- eson in continuing the debate yes- terdayaftemoon. ' Rocky Point Ferry He noted that about 880.000 had been spent on the Rocky Point ferry last year. This would have gone a long way on building a bridge over the West River. he ob- served. He wondered how the people in Rocky Point felt over the Premier's statement about setting up a liquor store in that locality. "If that were lots of communities the people would be put out by such reflection of their habits." he stateid. Premier Jones replied that Mr. Matheson might get some votes on the matter. to which Mr. Math- eson answered. "Possibly. but I would just as soon not obtain votes in such a manner." Farmers in the past few years had followed the pattern of the Government and borrowed and borrowed at a low rate. The fann- er bought and he finally found himself in the same position as The Government, - down. he stated. One of the big problems facing the farmers was the uncertainty in prices, he continued. While the beef prices are steady the other prices are not so good. The price of butter during the past year has been low and consequently we now have a shortage. With regard to hogs he noted that Isis d farmers had paid the high- est rices for feeds ever. But when we came to market hogs the price was comparatively low, he stated. He noted that a great deal of grain had been shipped out of the province during the past year. He knew that the Department of Ag- riculture couid not interfere in this matter but it grieved him to see business men biLv grain and ship it out of the province at '10 cents a bushel. We are now paying about 08.30 for cats. he added. The fishermen in 2nd Queens had a. good 'S i season last spring and a good mackerel in the fall. he stated. but they barely made wages fishing cod in the summer. He was sorry that nothing had been done to repair Rustico I-Iarbour. He thought that the attitude of the Government towards rural elec- trification was a joke. "If you want an extension to a line you don't go to the prcmien. or the Ministers but to the M'a.ritime lilac- tric Company," he stated. lie notedmwith regret that it was it E ust maltipulatiuia for politics FLIITWOOD. l.'ngland- (CF) -The thing stolen when a ' bcuss Iilloamire town was .

Newspapers in the western parts of thevnomlnion have been giving much pubumgy to the facts in the hope that no one would be taken in by the very plausible story. The local man. after receiving the first letter. air mail from Mexico. showed it to the proper authorities and then to satisfy his own curiosity sent an answer, with the result that the entire plan was outlined for him. The first letter states that the writer is I prisoner in a Mexican prison, but as he is in charge of the prison school is allowed cer- tain privileges. such as letter writ- ing without censorship. He states the recipient's name was given to him by a friend. as a person of high integrity. and asks if he would be willing to heiplhim save 3385,- 000 which is inside a secret com- partment in a trunk deposited in a Customs house in the United States. The writer offers one-iihird of the money for assistance in secur- ing lt for himself and his l8-year- old daughter. He does not sign his own name but asks that an answer be sent to d third person who hm access to the prison. After receivting the letter re- questing details, the "prisoner" wrote again entclosin-g a news- paper clipping of his Arrest for bankruptcy, and an official form covering his sentence. The let- ter asks that the recipient go to Havana, Cuba, taking with him 09,000 cash to pay the prisoner's fine, and after picking up further information and documents flier; proceed to Mexico City. In Mexico City the fine would be paid, the baggage check would be picked up and the recipient would be on his way to pick up the trunk containing the 3385.000. Still llo llational Ilish in canada TORONTO. March l3'-(CP)- The managing director of the Canadian Restaurant Association told today why Canada still hasn't a national dish. "You can't merchandise the food you aren't able to secure.” said Mrs. F. G. Montgomery at the Association's seventh annual meeting here. "You might be able to get all the materials for. say. is fish dish. in” the Maritimes, and find them impossible to obtain in Western Canada. Mrs. Montgomery suggested an olternatve: regional dishes. For instance. the district around Lake Erie might try white fish. "The best white fish in the world comes from the north shore of Lake Erie." she said. "Yet you can't buy these fish in Canada. They are shipped direct to New York.” Mrs. Montgomery praised at least one aspect of the Canadian restaurant business. "Canadian coffee is in quality.” she said. "American visitors say they have noticed marked improvement in our cof- fee-making in the last few vears." Withdraw Booli On Dionnes NEW YORK.

FIIIIALI Cool for an Institution Apply In writing to box at our i-below that of the Reviews Activities Agriculture Department I it "Farmers may not have a great deal of cash in their pockets but their standard of living is the high. est ever". stated lion. C. C. Baker, Minister of Agriculture, during the ted debate on the Draft Address in the Legislature yesterday. He added that farmers were not in any such terrible straits as arg- ued by the opposition. As eviden- ce of their Pl'0IDeI'lty he noted that there were 1,300 more automobiles registered in 1950 than in I949. and a lugs increase in the registration of trucks in the same yen. In his address Mr. Baker gave an extensive review of the activities conducted under his department. These included field and root crops, livestock, cold storage plant. and Fnlconwood farm. v The 1950 crop year was favourable as far as field crops were concerned. he stated. The hay crop was 3' bit 1943 and 1949 crops but he estimated that it compared well with the crops over the past ten years. There were 1,300,000 more bush- els of grain produced in 1950 than in the previous year. He believed that the Province could produce as much every year without effect- ing the fertility of the soil. The acreage of wheat was increased over that. of me. the out acreage was the same. and the barley acre- age was down. Cutworna Damago He referred to the cutwurm dam- age in grain last June and feared that a. repetition could cause a. very serious condition. The seed drill survey last year turned out gave dlsappoiritin results, he stated, as it was found that farmers were planting seed that was not proper- ly cleaned. "The potato yield was consider- ably below that of last year, at- tributed in part to the late blight." I-Ie,noted that two new varieties of blight resistant p ' toes. the Cause and Keswick had been distributed among the farmers. "It is imperative that we con- tinue to improve the quality of potatoes in grading and packaging." he said. with regard to price sup- port he thought the first applica- tion hcd been made by the Horti- cultural Council of which Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture ia the potato committee chair- man. The damage due to the turnip root maggot was worse in 1960 than ever before. Every province in Can- ada is working on it to get a rem- edy. without success as yet. "I be- lieve", Mr. Baker said. "that we have made more progress at the Science service Laboratory here than anywhere else. The livestock population has not varied much during the past few years. With prices as high as they are. one cannot blame the pepple for selling. In 1950 there were 95,009 head of cattle in the Province the same as the last few years. The 136,000 hogs in the Province in 1960 showed quite an increase; sheep was about the some with H.000 head. and poultry were up with 1.i3'5.m0 head. It would be encouraging if there were more livestock. but Mr. Baker thought the quality was improving each year as shown by the showings at exhibitions And by the high prices on consignment and private sales. "The breed associations are pretty wide awake to the fact they must improve cattle and in 1950 we hope to inaugurate a bull bonusing pol- icy that will benefit both purebred and grade herds." he said. He noted that the leader of the Opposition had been fortunate in receiving twin lambs from one of his imported North County Cheviot ewes. "I never dreamt tint: the Leader of the Opposition woulq take anything from a Liberal De- partment of Agriculture," he twit-. The number of Island hogs its Advanced Registry is nearly equal to the total in all the not of Can- ad; Island breeders had made 1 clean sweep at Amherst and in the carcass classes at the Royal. The hatcheries and poultry men have hope of having a brisk sea- son. Mr. Baker noted that the prion of eggs was high and that quite I few turkeys were being raised III the province. Most Important Industry "Tile dairy industry in my opin-A ion is the most important in tho Province", he said. "The prooeedl. exceeded 83,500,000 in 1060." Ho stated that it was rather alarming. that the sale of dairy cattle was bea- ing carried to the extent that it it and added that the female animals should be kept on the farm. Bl commended those ' 'ers whosa recent high H. O. P. records appear- ed in the pro-. He briefly notcd that the Gov- ernment had constructed storagl facilities for the dairymen In re- quested by the Dairymen's Associa- tion. Fslconwood Farm is being car- ried on in a very efficient and prof. itable manner under the super.- vision of the Department and Messrs. Unsworth Gurney and George Dsrrach. There are 61 head bf cattle on the farm, 29 cows in milk, with I production of 1.400 lbs. a day. Oth- er livestock includes 16 brood lows. one boar. 161 hogs and coo laying hens. He thought that it was good business to put up a pit silo and store silage at the Farm. 22 acres of grass were put in silage and fed from Oct. H to Feb. 21. when we first began to feed silage we too! away 595 of grain ration and tho production remained about -the same.' he noted.
