House Adjourns being to their benefit." Provincial Legislature, March 24. Tile House met at 11.30 a. m. lieu. Mr. Stewart tabled answers ll some questions. Qn motion of Mr. Hunter the House went into committee. with til". Strong in the chair, on an A-st f0 tinicnd an Act respecting swii or fertilizer mortgages on Doialo crops. Clause i of the existing ststufl. Dnssed in 1930, provides that “no mortgage, bill oi sale, lien, charge, iuciilnbriilicc, coilvcyanco, trails- ill 01‘ assignment made, executed ur created and which is intended to operate and have eifcct as s. iccurily shall, in so far as the snlne nsumes to bind, comprise, apply to or affect any growing rrop of potatoes, or crop of pot- atoes to be grown in future, in whole or in part, be valid except lhc same be made, executed or created as a security for the pur- chase price and interest thereon of seed potatoes or fertilizer." The amendment purposes to add to iheabove section the words: "or as a security for the perfum- ance of an agreement to sell, de- liver or barter potatoes in consid- eration of the sale, delivery or_ bar- ter of seed potatoes or fertilizer." Object Of Bill .. The promoter explained that the ‘object of the bill was to guarantee the security of contracts between the potato dealers and farmers. He had looked carefully into the Act and also the amendment, and felt satisfied that the amendment would be a good thing for the farmers this year, especially for those who otherwise would be un- ahlti to buy fertilizer for their potato crops. Mir. W. M. Lea asked if it was life purpose to compel the grow- crs to deliver potatoes at a certain fixed pricc. -l-lnn. Mr. MacLean said the ‘met- hod is that a nominal price is placed on the potatoes. The farm- vr has the benefit of the advance con- trzict is entered intofor $100 worth ' would have to silpply a certain quantity of- potatoes to cover that $100.

If a of ' fertilizer, the farmer the price of potatoes or gets the benefit of the for his commission: ~Mr. Lea asked if the farmer had tho option of paying for the fer- tilizer in the Fall, rather than de- livcririg the potatoes. lfon. Mr. MacLean: o.’ ilic sale." Mr. Lea: "He cannot, pany whatever to have crop." Hon. Mr. Machean said make the price. " Reasons For Amendment posed an amendment to the Act lé§t year on the ground that it covered subsequ ‘ crops. That might create a difficulty inasmuch as ft might be another dealer who would be supplying fertilizer in a subsequen‘ year. That clause does hot appear in the bill now before tile committee. This year, he be- lieved it will be absolutely neces- suy for potato growers to make some urr ngement whereby they as,» be able to get s. sufficient “Hen may pm’ for the fertilizer at the time on the other hand, deliver the value of the fertilizer in cash. The only value nf this bill is that in this vase ihe farmer is given all but twenty per cent of the increased price. The question is whether, by passing this bill, we are not going to endanger the sale of our certi- fied seed potatoes in the United States. I think there is a grave danger there. We should protect the interests of the Island seed market and not permit any com- control whereby they can go down to the Southern market and fix s. price. Of course, the bill will permit s. farmer to get his crop financed. But he can do that now by giving his bill of sale on the growing that last year a price was fixed at 40 cents and that. to ' a certainex- lent, made the price. This year no price is fixed. The market will "Hon. Mr. Sharp said he had op- l Year’s Potato tillzer notes unpaid in the banks this year.

Today the farmers are in a hard position, and the mer- chant is just the same. Mr. ‘Cox 5 could not sec anything wrong in 5 the bill, providing that a price is made by the contracting parties. He therefore approved. ber from Souris (Hon. Mr. Lean). that provision is not made in the Mac- nature described by the hon. mem- when such potatoes are delivered be accepted by the mortgagee at a rider the section would be un- objectionable. Supports Amendment . . Mr. J. A. Campbell. (Fourth Kings) emphasized the position of the farmer who is not in a position to cany on this year. He wished to place himself on record as be- ing strongly in favor of the bill at this particular time He had op- posed it last year, but was in fav- or of it now because he knew the fanners of the province are "up against it." There were bills passed protecting every other business. but he did not see so many intro- duced to protect the farmer. This was the purpose of the bill now before the House. He therefore could not agree with the remarks of his ‘party leader, Mr. Lea. Mem- bers should not be altogether tied to the apron strings of any party or government; they should ex- press their views and stand up for what they believe to be in the interests of the farmers and labor- ing classes. "If you shut out a bill of this kind at the present time,” Mr. Campbell continued, “you are not protecting the poor man, but you are protecting the man with means, and if there is o. poor mar- ket next year the rich man will reap the benefit." He believed that in the past the farmers‘ bus- iness has been run 00o much by outsiders who are not interested in the farmers at all. Farmers should have the privilege of dis- posing of their own business in the way they saw fit/Iheyshouldhavo the liberty branding‘ into what contracts they pleased. This bill gave them the opportunity of mak- ing certain arrangements for the purchase of their fertilizer. It was not compulsory, but it offered an opportunity to poor farmers who might otherwise be unable to ob- taln fertilizer at all.

(It was explained later that introducing Mr. Cox said the point wasfthatl l the farmers will not grow potatoes unless there is some guarantee‘ of price. If a price, say, of 20 cents is guaranteed by the dealer, with the assurance that the farmer gets the benefit if tile price goes over that figure, he could not see why anyone should raise objection. Mr. J. A. Campbell said i'-~t ’ he did not support this bill he would be failing in his duty. He had not been asked to do so, but he knew the situation and the need that existed for legislation of this kind. The trouble was that the farmers were "a little bit slow" and not sufficiently awake to their own interests. They might take him to task for his stand on this question. but he was talking from his own experience and he had no hesitation in supporting the measure. He doubted whether the other Liberal members who nail spoken really understood the present situation. To retain the seed potato market we must grow a superior quality, and we cannot produce quality seed potatoes without fertilizer". ‘The difficulty is that the farmer cannot get fer- tilizer from the dealers. They call- not carry him over any longer. Our farmers are honest and up-_ right, but the fact is that they cannot meet their obligations. 60 to 70 per cent of them are just struggling to make a living. If they cannot secure commercial fertil- izer this year they will havc to resort to the old system of stable manure that has been discredited by the inspectors and the Associ- ation. If they are forced to do that. then the Association has fal- len down on its ‘job. “Give the farmer at this time any chance to buy fertilizer wherever he can get it. and if a. few concerns that sell fertilizer are not true to their contracts, there is a way of dealing j with them. I do not see that there . should be any objection at all to the bill at this particular time," Mr. Campbell concluded.

Stewart said he ap- preciated that the question was one for farmer members to dis- cuss. J-fe simply wished to repeat what hiscolleague Mr. Sharp had said that this was not a. Govern-l rnent measure and should be dis-‘ cussed ‘without _an'y politics enter- lug" ifitothn question. ; lion. ivir. téiiéiywe realize that." ' Hon. ’ Stewart: "My hon. frlendsdld notstfiem to realize that fact when they introduced it as a Government measure a year ago. My recollection is‘ that that bill was ‘tabled, but I am sure that I took no part in the discussion. I certalnlyidid not take any political part because there was no politics in it." Further discussion followed be- tween Mr. Lea and Hon. Mr. Ste- wart. Mr. Lea said his reference had been to the passing of the Act two years ago, not to. the am- endment tabled at - the last session of the House. Mr. L. R. Allen said he under- stood the amendment had been in- troduced last year as a. Govem- ment measure by mistake. He, Mr. Allen, was the ‘only member on the Government side who had oppos- ed the measure at that time, and he had been brought to task “very severely" for his opposition. Pos- sibly he was wrong in opposing it last year on general principles, but he felt obliged to oppose this year on the ground that it leaves it open to the farmer, in his anxiety to get fertilizer, to sell his product at less than it costs to produce. If there wcrc any as- surance of him realizing the cost of production plus the cost of labor. it would have Mr. Allen's hearty support. As it stands, how- ever, the bill would encourage a man to borrow beyond his ability to pay. He agreed with the Oppos- ition leader that this will be a. great year for potatoes. Mr. J. A. Campbell instanced the difficulty in which some fann- crs found themselves through in- ability to meet their notes. ' On motion of Hon. Mr. Sharp. the bill was left in committee in order to afford time for further consideration before the House meets after the Easter holidays. At _1 p. m. the House adjourned, March 29. A FT.

The transfer will take place. Col. Junket states, on April 1, when it similar transfer will take place in other provinces of the Dominion. There are now eight men in this service who will be affected by the change. Some of these will prob- ably retain their position by en- listing in the Mounted Police. This was Col. Junket/s first visit here and he was much pleased with what he has seen of Charlotte- town. He remarked that the Can- adian National Hotel is one of the finest of its size he has ever seen.
