PROCEEDING PROII 'LL S IN THE EGISLI-ITURE l1on.'Murdoch McKinno and Disposcs ofa n Continues Discussion il Lritlcism of liis Department. Resuming his discussion on Falcon- wood Hon. Mr. McKinnon said:-- The improvement along this line was an excellent one. lt was wor'th a great deal and cost very little money. We hear a great deal sometimes in sym Duthy with "the poor inmates of Fal- '~'0"W00d~" Well. here there was a great change for the better. The pat- ients had no longer to tramp through BMW lilld Wet half a mile to look after the stock. but looked after them in the institution regularly under the direct- ion they received from day to day,and looked after them very well. The re- sult is, that there is a very creditable lot of cattle in connection with the ln- _stitution now. They are not expensive or high-class stock. It .would not be safe to introduce that kind of stock at the present time until it is quitc certain that the disease is cleared out. So far there is no sign of it, and lt is to be hoped it will not appear again. The result of the proper management oi’ the farm is thatthe stock can g-ive some returns. Since this change was made things are different; and the time is coming when they will not on- ly be able to supply their own milk but their meat and butter as well. Al- ong with that. they supply a good deal of vegetable and fruit which they nev- er had before. There was an orchard of 12 or 15 acres on that place, plant- ed' seventeen years ago. and up to n short time ago it had not received' airy-" _care. lt is giving fair results now and will give still better. Anyone who knows anything about' the institution now and who was acquainted with it as it was some years ago, will not have any difficulty in coming to the conclusion that it has been excellent- ly handled and that there is quite a difference between Falconwood of to- day and Falconwood of some years a-go.~ There were some difficirltles in con- nection with the institution. it is true. The temporary resident superintend- ent dled, and his place had' to be filled. By that time the former Medical Sup- erintendent was asked to be recallet. He came here. The hon. gentleman last night charged the Government with having- turned him down. HE WAS NOT TURNED DOWN! There is no foundation for such a statement. The Trustees of -the Asylum and thc Government all wished h-im to resume his position as Medical 'Superintend- ent of the Hospital. lt was not thought by anybody that he should be put in the position of farmer. or that it would be fair to either him or the institut- ion. or that he could even do lt. l d'on’t think I am saying anything fo his discredit when l say that he was not a. farmer 'and never pretended to be. and could not be expected to take the care necessary for an institution of that size along with a large farm. However, be would not accept that. He would accept only on one -condit- ion that he should have full manage- ment of the farm as -well as the Hos- pital. That he could not be given. lt was not advisable that that should be done. They are two institutions, each large enough for one capable man. Either one is quite sufficient fOr any one man. Since then the institution has been attended' temporarily wil very well by a medical slxDBl'I¥\l-Bild' ent who is not resident, and thc report gives an idea of his work. There is ri splendid farm there to-day fylly 00- uipped. and with excellent D OBDBCU* and I think the Trustees have acted wisely although they are found *HUT* with. rt-is Acnicutrunst on-PAn1= » mehr HON MR.

Unimont for elle everywher- .partment. No one would be better pleased than he ('Mi'. McKinnon) to receive such asslst9.nce.He had always looked for assistance. He knew there were a great many thing-s to contend with and it would take many heads and much consideration to do them to the best advantage, and a working committee of the kind suggested would be very acceptable as far as he was concerned. But, strange to say, those who advocated' this committee never stopped to think for a moment that such a committee was actually in existence. and existed from year to year. They would find it in the records of the House as far back as the House had a history. There was a committee. not of five but of seven. appointed jointly from the best farmers ol’ the Housrt. What better committee did they want. lf the farmers in the House were representative of the people and if the people had confidence in theni~ as he believed they had-why not take that committee? No one would be better pleased to accept their sug- gestions' that he. He had got a great deal of assltance always did-fron\ some of the members of that commit- tee-but not all of them. Mr. McKinnon went onto deal with .the Federal Grant. When this Federal Grant was given. he explained, the Government followed' their former course and put this Federal Grant as well as the local agricultural grant in- to one report. There was ri difficulty in doing that. There were two depart- ments 'to deal with-a local and n Federal: That would be difficult under any circumstances, bitt the federal year closed at the last of March and the local year closed at the last of December; so that if the report closed' at the end of December only three- quarters of the Federal term was in eluded. Last year the Government un- dertook to change that; they under- took to make two different reports he ginning with last year. The report ol 1916 was tabled in the House includ- ing the local grant and thc Federal grant up to the close of December. that was for nine months. Before the House closed the report for the balan- ce of the Federal year was put on the table; so that the members had before them the report of the Federal giant up to the close of March 1917. That would bring the next Federal report up to the close of March 1918. "We are now past the rulddle of Aprll".said Mr. McKinnon, "and' hon. members may think that that report should be tabled. lt would be on the table before ,now. but it is not only thc printers I who are busy but thc .bankers as well, ‘and only yesterday we could get the .balances from the bank. and I am in- lformed the report will be ready either to-night or to-morrow morning. After this. the report of the local Depart- ment and the local grant up to the close of December will always be tab- led in the House. and the report oi' ,the Federal grant just as soon after' .the close of March as possible. which _will generally bring it in good time '_ before the session closes." UNFAIR CRITIC‘|SM The member for the Second District had said he was obliged' to deal sev- erely with the Agricultural Depart- ment. The Commissioner said he did not mind the severity of his criticisnrs ibut he would like -to be able to say that the hon. member had also dealt honestly with the Department in his speech; but he could not say that. it might have been honest from his point of view. MR. BELL: Tha.t is not 'parliament- ary. | MR. SPEAKER: Do you want my -decision? | MR. BELL: The statement. is not parliamentary. l MR. MeKlNNON: I don't think l did ltho gentleman any injury. l went so far as to say that lt might have been honest from his point oi’ view; but some of his statements in connection with the department were not correct. The hon. gentleman said the Depart- rnent has -badly fallen down. l think those were the remarks he made. He also said' he could not point to a sin- gle thing the Department had done. |That gentleman is a resident of Prince County and is the representative of an agricultural district; and as he is ii gentleman who has considered him- self capable of dealing with agricult- ural mstters he should take an inter- est in what is going on. lf he did. he would notice that there is a district representative' in that County Dllced there by the Department to 3|'/B his full time to that County.

LONDON. April 18.-The oxcessive consumption ol' breadstuffs is causing the Ministry of Food to consider dras- tic steps lo deirl with the sale of broad and breadstuffs. it is stated' that rat- IDIIIIIE of bread will come into effect early next month. Farmers and potato dealers have been ordered to return lull details of all'potato stocks to the Food Department by the end of the month. Sir Clrurles Bathurst, speaking al a meeting ol’ agriculturists. put the sit- uation irr regard to bread prospects for the next year in the forefront of his remarks. He said if England is to bc fed sufficiently the next 12 moirthsI we must. concentrate our attention to| the potato more. I will be su-npriseri with my knowledge of the food posit- ion. if I do not find in 12 months that bread will be composed largely of poi- atocs. either in thc i`or'rn of flour or meal. or if we do not have to forego cereal loaves altogether and substi- tute ‘potntoes for them.
