debate on the Address. After con-
gratulating the mover and seconder
0|' the Allllress on their very able
speeches, he said he had no doubt
that should His Royal Highness the
Duke of Uonnauirht return to corr
it to the province, and he was sure
he would receive as hearty and as
enthusiastic s. welcome as he did on
the former occasion. _
AGRICULTURAL SUGGESTIONS
Proceeding to refer to agriculture,
he said he felt confident the farmers
fully appreciated the great worln the
Commissioner of Agriculture had
done in the short time he had been
in office. The magnificent attendance
of over 500 farmers at the Short
Course was evidence of the awakened
_interest in progressive agriculture,
and the fact that these farmers had
gone back home thoroughly satisfied
with what they had learned and anx-
ious to concentrate their efforts in
the manner siiirgestcd by the lecturers
was proof that the new policy was
thoroughly appreciated. I-Ie suggest-
ed that in future the Department
should sive longer courses, and in
addition that the instructors should
visit thc districts and farms where
the farmers had not seen their way
to attend the coursc and im-
part personal instruction to them.
lie .could assure the Department that
these farmers would' welcome aper-
sonal chat at home on improved me-
thods, say on poultry-rearing and
how to build a poultry house to give
the bent results. Such chats would
prove of lnestimable value to them.
He knew the great interest that was
now being manifested in the Seed
Show nt Souris, an interest that
was never taken heretofore, and felt
sure that as soon as the farmers be-
came fully alive to the value of the
knowledge imparted by the instruc-
tors, they would take full advantage
of them. 'Tho time had come when
the farmers realized that there was
a party in power able and willing to
look after their interests, and which
was prepared to give them a chance
to make the most of the present and
at the same time to lay th_e founda-
tion for a bright and propserous fut-,
ure for them. _ /

PUBLIC DUILIIINCS
fiontiiilling, Mr. Mcllcnn said there
were not two ollluions in the pro-

ROAD ACT
As i'ei;ar|ls the Road Act it was
useless for anyone to stand on a pu;b-
llc platform and say it was a failure.
There was a time before the present
Government came into office when
that could he said, but that was
past and he hoped forever. Under
the old regime the money~that should
have been spent on roads was spent
among the friends of the then SOV-
erninent. The present Government
had come into power with a mandate
to change all that; and while proba
bly it might have pleased some of its
friends better by continuing the old
majority better things would be ex
pected of It. So the Government had
started into each department with
the determination that it should be
run in 0. proper buslnesslike way. I
the Public Works Department it had
succeeded beyond expectations. At
first there was some difficulty in get-
tske the new responsibilities devolv-
ing upon them, but now with a little
experience of the new conditions, he
had yet to find a superintendent who
was not prelmrcii to go ahead with
them. ln the long run thc roads
would be found in a splendid condi
tion. nnd lie would like to see the
man who would stmid up in (acc of
tin audiencr and any he was prepared
to go back to thc old system.
SL'-H()0LS
Referring to education, Mr. Mciiean
emphasized the facts mentioned hy
the Premier. stating that the Govern-
ment had already spent $8,000 addi-
tional on the schools, nnd by the end,
of the year would have spent $20,000
or one-fifth of thc additional Govern-
ment grant. The Government had
made great strides towards providing
better conriitions for their teachers
mid better schools for the children.
