In addition to this. I have taken an active interest in our transportation problems, for the pa“ thilty Years. both individually M111 through the Boards of Trade. "I IlPId the office ,of President of (l... Associated Boards of Trade of Prince Edward Island for four “ma, from 1928 lo 1927. through 1,111; period of great disatisfactlon 111 the Mriritimcs. and worked in conjunction with the Provincial GQVOTIIIIICIIC in the year 1926 in prcllnrilii: and presenting the Is- lmwdis case before the Duncan coltimlssioii. I have also been the n-pcscntative of the Province on @119 Transportation Commission of the ltfnritime Board of Trade for nmny ycnrs. I merely refer to these mailers at the present time, so ma; my listeners may realize that 1 have had very I oppor- tunities to gain a valuable ins. h-t 111w miiny of our transportaton difficulties and the severe dis- crlnilnzitions that work against our farming mid fishing industries, as well as bilsiness generally, and which have contributed so much to the impoverishment of our peo- pie. Disproportionate Expenditure "In the first plaice it would seem that in this agricultural Province, WlLIl n provincial income oi’ ap- proximately two million dollars, there is something radical] wrong when we spend only sixty ousand dcliiiz-s per annum, ph ‘ the Ikpartment of Agriculture. to as- 5W, our main industry, while at the some time we are spending lillaztlin-ris of thousands oi dollars on public works. While good roads iii-r- most desirable and necessary, It would seem that the expenditure 15 ctr. of all proportion when you n. /.e that the industry from II‘IlI(‘I’l we all depend for a living is in such a very deplorable state. It would appear that our agricultural llcy needs drastic revision and lint a more co-ordinated effort is lone ovcr due, between the Federal and Provincial Departments of Acriclfture. When you consider who‘. has been done for the far- Illll‘ of the Western Provinces by tlit- Folk-rill Government in the way of guaranteed price for wheat. the supplying of seed and other asistnnces and ncessio in droilzlit areas. at the expense of filo tax-payers of Canada as a whole. it would seem only fair and cqiiimlile that some reasonable consideration. by way of compen- sation, should be given to the far- nvrs of the East, t0 ie-cstablish themselves on a sound basis. Dr. Manlon Quoted "Tlic l-fon. Dr Manicn, speaking recently at. Regina, stated: ‘Priceso lain produce must be imreased Tvllglllv 40 per cent to bring them into line with other prices and provide the farmers of this country with a just deal. We must aim to put prices for the farmer on a. ptirlty with other prices,’ and speaking at Niagara Falls, Dr. lvfaiiion further stated; ‘Agricultur- al aids ranging from seasonal tariffs to long-term loans were pro- scd as a means of increasing arm prosperity. I! the 1926 rice levels were restored, the proberns oi the fanner would largely van- i=h, and with them the problem of Indus-trial employment. The return of the 1926 price level, therefore, will be our objective.’ "One of the first things required in this Province, in connection with a survey of our farms, is l. complete soil testing Laboratory. I have been advocating this for the past two or three years, and sug- gested that it be given serious consideration mt the mwrs’ xiicetings held in this City in Fob- ruary of last year, so that our farmers might be given an oppor- tunity to ascertain their soil re- qlllrciiients. This Island held, in years gone by, an outstanding re- piltation for the best in horses, cat- tie. ilogs, sheep, poultry, eggs. dairy products. seed oats, seed and table stock potatoes, turnips and silver foxes. While in some lines we are still endcavoring to hold our own, I mcwly make reference to these how to show that this Garden P10- vlnce rnn produce outstanding ani- mals and products sur essed by hone. This is our grea industry and which has become under- nlilicd to a large extent from V81- 0ll.\_ causes. Probably many will v1. ll flint the specializing in the Bl‘ H: of potatoes and the rais- iliz of foxes contributed to the con- ill flint liow prc-vlall; but, if cs have been made. it is the leaders in public office iiidlls;t.;y to lend vigorous - ‘nnrc in flndinlz a solution Io F('lil(‘(iy the situation, rather than 1W1» cn drifting down stream.
