[Stage Direction]
Hon. CHARLES MURPHY (Secretary of State) moved for leave to introduce Bill (No. 209) to amend the Canada Temperance Act. He said: The proposed amendment to the Canada Temeprance Act relates only to the province of British Columbia. Its purpose is to enable a vote to be taken in that province under the Canada Temperance Act in the same, way as that a vote is taken under that Act in any other province. For instance, in the interpretation clause of the Canada Temperance Act, the word ' county ' as respects the province of British Columbia is defined to mean an electoral district therein in accordance with the division of the province for the election of members for the House of Commons. The 228J
legislature of British Columbia has passed an Act called the Counties Definition Act by which the province is divided int'O counties for certain purposes and it is proposed that the definition of ' County ' in the provincial Act shall be substituted for the present definition of ' County ' in the Canada Temperance Act.
Then the Canada Temperance Act, as it stands at present, contains no definition of a city or city municipality and it is proposed to introduce into the Act as far as British Columbia is concerned the definition of city or city municipality, which appears in another provincial Act of British Columbia, called the Municipal Clauses Act.
Part 1 of the Canada Temperance Act sets out the proceedings for bringing part 2 of that Act into force. The commencement of these proceedings is to be by the deposit of a notice and petition in certain designated offices for public examination. So faT as the province of British Columbia is concerned, those offices are restricted to the five electoral divisions that existed at the* time the Canada Temperance Act was revised. There are at present seven electoral divisions in British Columbia represented by seven gentlemen in this House, and it is proposed to correct that anomaly by the amendment in question.
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the first time.

On the orders of the day being called.
Mr. CROSBY.: Mr. Speaker, I have received the very regrettable information that a coloured clergyman who has been seen in the corridors of this building for a few days past, was instructed by the sergeant-at-arms to leave the building, not to frequent the building. We have a large number of coloured people in eastern Canada, a very respectable class of people, and I would like to know if it is correct that this has been done, and if so who is responsible for it. I hope it has not been done, because it would be a great pity that such a course should be adopted when a man is conducting himself respectably and well as I have seen him. I have not the honour of his acquaintance, but I understand he is a clergyman ol very high standing in the church.


Sir WILFRID LAURIER.: I think it is unfortunate that my hon. friend has not given to the House any more particulars. The House would be loath to believe that the se,rgeant-at-aTms, whose courtesy ifs well known, would be guilty of any act of *iiscourtesv to any coloured gentleman or anybody else, and at the present time we

have to believe that everything was done regularly.


Mr.   BANKER@: The reverend .gentleman referred to is a well known citizen of Hamilton, and a very respectable minister of the Methodist coloured church there. He told us yesterday that he had been soliciting subscriptions for his church as he has been dome- in years past, and as a great many other people, ladies and gentlemen, have done, but that he was spoken to by the sergeant-at-arms yesterday in a way that he thought rather rude. He tells me that he at once told the sergeant-at-arms that if there was any objection to his soliciting lie would stop at once, but that he claimed the right to be_ in any of the public portions of this building just the same as any other citizen. Then he says that a policeman was called and he was very much offended at that. I spoke to him and did my best to cool his anger. I told him I thought the better way would be to take no notice of it, and that I was quite sure the sergeant-at-arms could have no intention of offending him because he was coloured. He was very indignant find expressed himself very warmly, saying that though he was coloured he would not submit to be differently treated in any manner from anv other person in the country. That is all I know about it, and that is I think all that can be ascertained about it. I would not for a moment intimate that the sergeant-at-arms had any feeling against this gentleman on account of his colour. I believe that an expression of regret from the sergeant-at-arms to the gentleman personally would be the simplest solution.


Mr. SPEAKER.: I will have the matter inquired into.



RELEASE OF TWO PRISONERS.

Hon. A. B. AYLESWORTH.: Before the orders of the day are called, I wish to make some further allusion to the matter which the hon. member for West Algoma (Mr. Boyce) brought to the attention of the House yesterday. I was not aware that the hon. gentleman intended to mention this matter yesterday, and in what I said yesterday about it I was relying entirely on my memory. Of course it is impossible to keep in mind all the details of 2,000 or more similar cases which pass under consideration in the course of a twelve months. Since the House adjourned, however, I have verified my recollection with regard to this matter by referring to the past, and am therefore in a position to speak definitely and accurately at the present time. The article which the hon. gentleman read to the House is taken from the current April number of a journal called the 'Canadian Municipal Journal,' published I think in Mon-
Sir WILFRID LAURIER,
treal. It is entitled ' Where was the pull,' and pursuing the idea suggested by that caption, it proceeds to charge that two prisoners to whom clemency was extended by His Excellency some time ago, were released because their counsel, Mr. T. C. Robinette of Toronto, was a personal friend of mine, and a man who enjoyed with me a considerable amount of personal influence, or ' pull.' Speaking fropi memory, as I was yesterday, I could not feel absolutely sure that there might not be some memorial or certificate of character among the papers which bore the signature of Mr. Robinette among others. I did not think it was so, but I could not be absolutely positive. I wish now to state that in the first pla^e, Mr. Robinette was not counsel for the prisoners, or either of them, as stated in this article; nor was he concerned in any way whatever in the application for clemency on behalf of these prisoners, and did not in any way intervene in the matter even by so much as signing a petition or certificate as to the character of the men. In short, the fact is that he had no single thing to do with this matter any more than the hon. member who brought this matter to the attention of the House yesterday. Yet this article, in order to found its attack, states categorically :
Mr. Robinette, K.C., defended the prisoners -though it seems strange that an eminent lawyer should stoop to such a dirty case

and he, it is understood, is a personal friend of the minister.
The prisoners were defended by two gentlemen each of whom is a personal friend of mine quite as much so as Mr. Robinette. The gentlemen are Mr. Geo. Tate Black-stock, K.C., of Toronto, and his partner, Mr. Hugh Rose. These gentlemen are the men who made application for the clemency of the Crown in regard to their clients, the prisoners. The article in question states that these men were convicted for distributing obscene literature and post cards, that evidence was given by two stenographers that they had refused to work for the prisoners, so filthy was the business. After making other statements in regard to the case, the article proceeds :
The question that is now being asked is, ' Where is the pull ? '
Now, I am sorry to say, Mr. Speaker, that this article, like a good many other newspaper articles, relies upon its imagination for its facts. There is not merely inaccuracy in the statements I have referred to, there is what cannot be properly designated otherwise than untruth, in short. It is simply an instance of a newspaper writer fabricating his own news in his own back office. It is not a fact that two stenographers at the trial of these prisoners gave evidence that they had refused to

work for the prisoners so filthy was the business. No evidence whatever was given at the trial; the facts were admitted. It was in short a question simply whether upon the admitted facts the offence charged in reality existed. The offence charged had nothing to do with post cards, it was the circulating of obscene books, as they were called, tending to corrupt morals. The prisoners were either partners, or one the proprietor and the other the manager of a business in Toronto for the selling of books.
I have forgotten the name under which the business was done; but so far as the papers show, and so far as any report on the matter which I received, shows, the business was the ordinary legitimate business of respectable book selling. But among the volumes which had been sold by these men were such books as English translations of Balzac, of Petronius and other Latin authors, of Brantome, also a French writer; and undoubtedly in these books, which are classics, and which are to be found on the shelves of our own library or of any other large library, in these books are to be found passages, just as I need not say there are to be found passages in that best of books that we all revere, which, if they were singled out or collected and published together, might properly be described by the word indecent. But the business which these men were carrying on was of the legitimate character I have described. A prosecution was instituted against them. It is not for me to express an opinion of the judiciousness of that prosecution, but a prosecution was instituted against them, not for distributing obscene post cards, for there was nothing of the kind, but for circulating books said to be obscene and tending to corrupt morals. The learned judge, upon the admitted facts of the case, made a conviction and sentenced the two prisoners. In sentencing them he said that it had come within his knowledge, or that he had been told-I have forgotton the exact way in which he worded his remarks-that one of two young women who had been engaged as a typewriter by this firm, had been compelled to abandon the position by reason of the character of the work that she was called upon to do. There was no evidence of it, but that observation was made by the learned judge when passing sentence. There was sent to me an affidavit or statutory declaration from this young woman who said that she was the only woman employee of the business, that she was the stenographer and typewriter engaged by this firm, that she had been with them for some length of time, and that there was not one word of truth in the charge that she had been compelled to abandon her position by reason of the improper character of the work that she was called upon to do. That statement then, as this
other statement of fact to which I have adverted, is entirely without foundation in fact.
Now, with regard to the application for clemency, I have only to say this: The application was made by the solicitor whom I have mentioned. I received a large number of letters with regard to the case from prominent men, business men, men of standing not only in Toronto but in other parts of the country. I do not think it would be right that these letters should be made public. There is nothing in them to conceal, but of necessity any communications of this nature are of the most confidential character. The department must obtain information with regard to the reputation of prisoners in the community by all means available and unless all communications were permitted under the seal of confidence there would be an end to the possibility of obtaining information or getting the particulars with regard to each case which are of importance in order that the application for clemency may properly be dealt with. I, for the same reason, think that it would not be right even to mention the names of the writers of such letters. I will say simply that I have had letters with regard to this case and urging clemency from more than 25 people of undoubted respectability and standing in the community, such people as managers of banks in Toronto, clergymen, a bishop of the Protestant faith, three other prominent clergymen, one a leading clergyman in the Methodist church, and business concerns of different characters in the city of Toronto, who are acquainted with the prisoners and knew the style of business that they had been carrying on. 1 am quite content to hand to my hon. friend, or to any hon. gentleman in the House, a list of the writers of these letters which 1 have made and which I have before me, but do not wish to put it on ' Hansard.' Just one word more. I have had the advantage, in connection with this matter, of a personal discussion of the case with the At torney General of the province of Ontario, who. I am proud to be able to say, is another warm personal friend of my own, and who, perhaps, on that account, would have had some ' pull ' in the matter. He expressed his opinion to me in conversation with perfect freedom. He did more than that; in his capacity of Attorney General of the province, charged with the responsibility for the administration of criminal justice, and whose representatives prosecute in the province, he wrote me a candid, frank letter in the matter, which is upon tile, expressing his own views and his own recommendation in regard to this case. I seek to put no resDonsibility upon him in the matter, I willingly assume the whole responsibility myself. I gave the advice to His Excellency that these men should be sum-
7] 87

marily. released, because, in my humble judgment, speaking as a lawyer, they were not guilty of the offence with which they were charged.



WATERWAYS TREATY.

Mr. R. L. BORDEN.: I would like to ask the Prime Minister whether he would have any objection to a motion for the immediate printing of the documents brought down in connection with the Waterways treaty?


Wilfrid Laurier: No.


Robert Laird Borden: In that case I would move:	,
That Rule 72 be suspended and that the documents brought down in connection with the Waterways treaty be printed forthwith.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

Mr. MacNUTT.: I would like to draw the attention of the government to a report appearing in the Montreal ' Gazette ' a few weeks ago which, I think, has been referred to before. The article is a follows:
It is reported that government engineers employed in locating the Hudson Bay railroad have been obliged to 6top work, having come to an impassable obstacle in the shape of an extensive muskeg, which cannot be bridged. The country may have cause for satisfaction if a physical muskeg keeps it out of the financial muskeg into which the construction of the railway threatens to plunge it.
The ' Globe ' a few days ago, had the following statement:



THE HUDSON BAY RAILWAY.

[Stage Direction]
A bottomless bog had been encountered on the survey of the Hudson Bay railway, the Montreal ' Gazette ' said in a recent issue. The writer added that if it prevented the building of the railway it would be a public benefit. Whether this attitude towards the Hudson Bay railway represents a majority of the people of the Dominion it is impossible to say, but that it represents a number who have given the subject some attention there can be no question.
This is followed by a long article which opposes the project of building the Hudson Bav railway. I would like to ask, on behalf of the west particularly which is greatly interested in this undertaking, whether the government has any knowledge of any impassable bog having been encountered, or whether it has any intention whatever of abandoning the project of having the Hudson Bay railway constructed in the near future?
Mr. GRAHAM.: I had noticed the articles in question to which my hon. friend (Mr. MacNutt) refers, and I communicated with the chief engineer, Mr. Armstrong,


Allen Bristol Aylesworth: in reference to the statment that a bottomless bog or muskeg had been found on the proposed route of the Hudson Bay railway. The chief engineer informs me that no greater obstacle has been encountered than is often encountered in works of this importance, and that the muskeg spoken of is not at all an insuperable barrier to the construction of the road. As to the other point, I may say that the government, so far from having any intention of abandoning the Hudson Bay [DOT] railway, intends to proceed with it with all possible speed, and having undertaken the construction of that line, I think the country will have confidence that this government will not stop until it completes its work.



PERSONAL EXPLANATION-MR. KING.

Mr. KING.: My attention has been drawn to the curious circumstance that in the press reports of the debate which took place on Tuesday last on the Combines Bill the speech delivered by myself and the speech delivered by my hon. friend from Red Deer (Mr. Clark) have been confused in one or two journals.


Robert Laird Borden: Is that because they were iso much alike?	,


George Gerald King: I have been credited with the views expressed by my hon. friend, particularly in that part of the debate which dealt with the subject of protection1 and free trade. I fee] that it is only due1 to the hon. member for Red Deer that X should make it quite plain that for the address which has been attributed to me credit is due to him.	.



CLEAN CURRENCY.

Mr. LEWIS.: I wish to ask some questions in reference to articles which have appeared in the Ottawa ' Free Press ' on the use of dirty dollar bills. The subject does not concern some of us as much as others. I would first quote one or two items as follows:-	I
' Free Press.'
Why use dirty Dollar Bills when clean ones mav be had from Banks.


Dr.  A. R.@: Pyne, an analyst from Toronto, has examined a well-worn dollar bill and thereon he found no fewer than 2,067,200 microbes.
Truly it was a case of overcrowding. Nobody cares to find out how the doctor managed to make the count, but the fact remains that the dollar bill was very, very dirty.
The other day an American scientist found something over 3,000,000 microbes on a bill.
According to the Toronto 'Telegram' on the bill Dr. Pyne examined there were 243,200 microbes which he styled as ' liquifiers,'' 184,400 ' non-liquifiers,' and 1,337.600 moulds.
In this connection a banker told The ' Free Press' that the one dollar bills were the dirtiest, the two's next, and so on. The

reason, of course, is that the one dollar bills net the most handling.
After all, is'nt it time in this country that we had clean money?
You can always get clean money at the banks, but most times you have to ask for it. If people demanded clean bills when doing business with stores and shops the banks would soon make an extra effort to have better bills.
The system by which the banks obtain the one and two dollar bills from the government is a rather complex one, but for the purpose of this article it may be briefly explained. In the capitals of each province the Finance Department of the Federal Government has officials known as Receivers General. The banks are supposed to send all their old worn-out bills there and in return get back crisp new ones. The Receivers General in turn ship the old ones to Ottawa and they are destroyed in some of the secret recesses of the Finance Department.
In these days the government keeps ahead of any demands the banks may make _ for clean money. In fact the federal authorities have lots of clean money on hand doing nothing, but there are lots of dirty, filthy bills floating most industriously from hand to hand.
' It is a well-known fact that bank bills are capable of carrying almost anything. Your agitation for cleaner paper money is certainly a good one.'	,
So said Dr. Higgins, Dominion bacteriologist, to the * Free Press' regarding the campaign for clean money.
' Paper absorbs moisture,' continued Dr. Higgins, ' and moisture is laden with germs. Some men moisten their fingers with saliva to count bills. If such men be tubercular there is certainly direct infection. The danger is continually increasing.'


Halifax Increased Accommodation I.  C. R.@: Kennedy said:	' Bank bills are certainly a medium for the conveying of disease germs from one person to another. Some of these old and worn-out bills simply reek with germs.'	.
' It is almost an insult to offer a man m payment of debt a bill like some of those ip circulation,' Dr. A. T. Shillington said. ' There is considerable danger from a sanitary point of view.'	.
* Soiled and dirty paper money is not. fit for use any more than any other filthy thing, remarked Dr. M. O. Klotz. 'The one dollar bills are the worst, in view of the fact that thev are the most handled.'
' People would never think of picking dirty, filthy paper up in the street and putting it in their pockets, but that is lust about what they do when they handle some of these dollar
bills.'	,
' We are handing out clean money now, one city bank manager told the * Free Press ' to-day. ' Your campaign's a good thing.'
' Are you sending all this dirty stuff to the Receiver General in Toronto?' was asked.
' No. the bills were not bad enough for that. We are iust sending them to the smaller branches.'	.
Next time you go to a hank ]ust ask tor clean money. It is healthier, cleaner, and it feels more like money.
The teller may say things, but he'll dig down and get 'em for you. The teller has the clean money, and if he has'nt, he ought to get it for you.
' The teller has orders to he on the lookout for badly mutilated or badly soiled bills,' said the accountant of the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
If the bill is torn or tattered, he puts it aside. But if it is whole, out it goes through the wicket, utterly regardless of how filthy it may be.
* Of course, everything that passes from hand to hand very much has any amount of germs on it. Another thing that must be considered is the expense; every new note costs the bank about two cents and a half.
' In spite of considerable expense the Bank of England never issues a note a second time. The new note is issued and when it comes in it is replaced, whether it has been in circulation five minutes or a year.'
The important point is that the bank teller is the worn-out bill censor, .
And so on the evidence of medical men goes. Each and every one agrees that there is danger.
' Of course, the public need some educating on this question of clean money,' he went on.
* We don't have to have dirty bills. If people only demand clean ones, they can get them. The storekeeper will then get after his banker, and the bankers will get after us, and we can keep well ahead of the game.
1.	What is the government, doing to assist in getting clean money into circulation? 2. Is there any standard under -which bills are said to be unfit foT use? 3. Has the government enough clean bills on hand to replace the dirty money now in use? 4. And if so, how far does the govi eminent keep ahead of the demand of the banks for clean money. I understand that one of the main reasons for the use of dirty money is that on each new hill issued to the bank there is a small charge of 21 cents.


Wilfrid Laurier: I am sorry the Minister of Finance is not here to answer my hon. friend. We are bringing in a pretty large budget this year to issue a good deal of clean money, and whether it is clean or not clean I have to say ta my hon. friend that in this matter he will; have to take the good with the bad as usual and take the bills with the microbes upon them.


Mr. BICKERDIKE.: If that was a one-dollar bill that was examined, how manyl microbes would be on a fifty-dollar bill? I



RAILWAY COMMITTEE REPORT.

Mr. SPROULE.: Why has not the re4 port of the Railway Committee agreed toi last Wednesday been presented to the House?	1


Mr. GUTHRIE.: The report has been prepared, but I have been asked to hold it over until Monday, as the promoter of a

Bill particularly mentioned in the report is anxious to make some motion in the House when the report is presented and his motion is not ready.	<


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Is such a request from, a private member sufficient to justify the. chairman of any committee withholding the report from day to day?


Mr. G. TAYLOR.: Monday is not the day to present it, as few members are here in the morning.


Hugh Guthrie: I have no objection to holding it over until Tuesday. I understand the report affects only one Bill, and as no public interest will suffer, and as the report is that the Bill be not proceeded with, I can see no objection to Tuesday.	t


Thomas Simpson Sproule: I would like a ruling from some authority as to whether reports from committees can be held over at the convenience of any member.



SUPPLY-ADMINISTRATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

[Stage Direction]
Mr. FIELDING moved that the House go into Committee of Supply.
['I have accepted a good deal from the hon. gentleman, but I stopped when he asked me to accept a motion to kill the Bill.']
Hon. SYDNEY FISHER (Minister of Agriculture).: Mr. Speaker, before ' you leave the Chair to go into Supply, as my estimates are to be taken up in the committee, I would ask the patience of the House while I make a slight preliminary statement of the operations and the work of the Agricultural Department. Many questions have been asked by members during the session, and it will be more convenient for the members if I make a general statement in connected form free from the interruptions which necessarily take place in the Committee of Supply.
I am glad to say that, as a rule, my department has received very generous' treatment at the hands of the House of Commons. The members have taken a1 great interest in the work of the department' and shown a legitimate and laudable desire to know and to understand that work;
I have also to say that the Committee of Supply have been generous in the way in' which they have consented to vote the necessary sums of money to carry on the' work of the department. I must confess' that on this occasion I am asking parliament to grant me larger sums than have ever before been asked or spent in regard' to agriculture.
I feel that some slight explanation is necessary to justify this request on my part. I do not wish to burden my remarks with any number of figures, but I would like to draw attention to the fact of a very great increase in the expenditure in regard to agriculture in Canada, and I would just read one or two figures to show this. I ' Mr. GUTHRIE.
do not propose to-day to deal at all with any subjects which are not really of a purely agricultural character, and I will therefore allude simply to the items of that description and no other. I will show what has been effected. Here are the estimates of parliament for 1896 and 97 and for the present year 1909-10. For experimental farms in that year 1896-7, parliament voted $79,000. I asked last year and obtained from parliament $153,000 for the same purpose. For the printing and distribution of farm bulletins and pamphlets in 1896-7 parliament granted $4,000; last year we spent $8,000. For dairy in 1896-7, we spent $30,000; last year $90,000. For cold storage in 1896-7, we spent $20,000; last year $75,000. For, health of animals in 1896-7, we spent $22,000; last year $250,000. In 1896-7, we spent $7,000 for the aid of agricultural societies in the Northwest Territories. Since the provinces have been established there, that work is left to the provincial governments and consequently last year we had no vote for that purpose. But in addition to the votes we had in 1896-7 for certain objects in connection with which I have given the figures for this last year, we have had in addition during last year for fumigation stations, $5,000, which was not dealt with at all when I came into office; for the seed division, $49,000, for which there was no appropriation when I came into office in 1896-7; for live stock, $52,000, for which there was no appropriation at that time; for Canned Meats and Foods Acts administration, $110,000, for which there was. no appropriation when I came into office; for tobacco stations, $5,000, for which there was then no appropriation; for the Rome institute of agriculture, $10,000. Now, taking the total of the expenditure for purely agricultural subjects in the department for 1896-7, I find there was an appropriation of $162,000. For this year which was closed, for the same objects and for purely agricultural objects, there was an appropriation of $807,000.


George Taylor: And not much more work was done.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: A change of this kind, an increase of this kind certainly requires justification, and for that reason I want to say a few words in regard to the agricultural industry and interests in this country. I have not the figures for the census of 1896. At that time there was only a decennial census, one in 1891 and one in 1901. But lately we have been taking census work especially in connection with agriculture much more frequently, and the result is that I have these statistics of agricultural products in Canada for the year 1909. I will, however, give as a comparison a few figures from the census of 1891, the census of 1901, and the reports

of 1909. In the first place, I would say, with regard to the acreage of land in Canada which was under cultivation in 1891, that there were fifteen and a half million acres under cultivation. In 1901, there were nineteen and three-quarters million acres, and I think I am justified in saying that in 1896 there were in the neighbourhood of seventeen millions acres of land under cultivation.


Mr. ARMSTRONG.: Mr. Speaker, does the hon. minister-


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Will the non. member (Mr. Armstrong) be kind enough to wait until I have finished my statement, and then I will be glad to answer all questions.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: I rise to a question of privilege, Mr. Speaker. Is the hon. minister entitled to quote a lot of figures and statistics which no doubt will be distributed in hundreds of thousands throughout the country when we are not in possession of these figures?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: There is no question of privilege in the matter. I am going to make a statement, which I hope will illumine and inform the hon. gentleman along with other people. Of course, if he does not wish to be informed or illumined, he has his recourse.


Mr. SCHAFFNER.: It is a very unusual way.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: I think it is too serious to pass over. In my judgment it is eminently a question of privilege. It is the right of any member of this House to ask a question so as to get information. The hon. member (Mr. Armstrong) only asks whether he had a right to speak on a question of privilege. I ask the ruling of the Chair.
Mr. FISHERY I have just the same right as any other member.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: Any hon. member has a right to speak to a point of order.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: 
Frederick Laurence Schaffner: Nobody else does.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: But I wash to do that on this occasion so that the members of the House may approach the work of the Agriculture Department in committee with a better knowledge and understanding. I stated then, and I state again, that when I come to committee I will be glad to give all the information necessary or possible. I only ask that hon. gentlemen wait until I have finished my remarks before asking questions.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: My object in asking the question was this: The hon. minister1 has qupted a lot of figures which we have' not in our possession, and without which' we will not be able to discuss the matter' intelligently. Unless we can ask questions' as the minister goes along, I do not see' how we can criticise the statistics he is' placing on ' Hansard.'


Robert Laird Borden: Mr. Speaker, under the rules of the House a ministei having the floor can decline to permit any person to ask a question. There is no' doubt about that. But it is a most unusual course for a minister to take, and I do not think he will find that it will facilitate his' work so much as he may imagine. But if he sees fit to adopt that extremely unusal course, I do not know that there is any [DOT]way of compelling him to do otherwise. Where figures are given, and where a 'statement is not altogether clear, it has been the invariable practice in this House for any speaker to submit to questions in Order that his remarks might be understood. If the minister does not see fit to bdopt that course, perhaps we will have to have some little delay until his speech is *printed.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: It has been the common practice in this House for any member to ask a question upon anything that is being said, if he does not understand what is being, said. I desire to have the ruling of the Chair so that we may know what are the privileges of parliament.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: It is a well recognized rule that when a member is in possession; of the floor he cannot be deprived of it without his consent, unless some question of order or of privilege should arise. It is a question of policy for the minister to say whether he is to answer questions or not.-But, legally speaking, he cannot be inter-i rupted except on a point of order or aj question of privilege.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I did not understand thel hon. member for Lambton (Mr. Armstrong) to ask me a question in regard to the* figures I was quoting. I understood him1 to make a statement that I was making a: speech for an ulterior object. If I misinterpreted or misunderstood him, I am!

quite willing to be corrected. But that? was my understanding of his interruption.) I may say without any offence, it is myi opinion, which I give for what it is worth,!, that I have noticed of late an inclination* to interrupt in a way that prevents that continuity of statement which, under certain circumstances I consider to be advisable and necessary, and I do not wish, I confess, to yield to that kind of interruption. If anything I have said is not clear to any hon. gentleman opposite, I am quite willing to make it clear, and if any question is put to me for that purpose, I should: be glad to answer it. But, when a question is put to me to elucidate information which is not contained in the statement I am making, I consider it to be entirely beside the mark, and I do object to be interrupted for that purpose. I have a right to place the information I have before the committee, and other hon. gentlemen have the same right to state what they wish to put before the committee or the House. I think each speaker ought to be the judge of what he wishes to put before the House, and ought not to be interrupted and obliged to go on with extraneous subjects.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: My object was to ask questions along the lines on which the minister was talking. For instance, he was giving some figures as to the land that is under cultivation throughout the whole of the Dominion. I would like to have had the privilege of asking him to give the amount of land under cultivation in the different provinces. We know that the west is being opened up to a great extent; and we in the older provinces know, takd the province of Ontario for instance, that they are not being developed to anything like the extent the minister might lead the country to believe from the figures he is quoting.	!


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not care to have a speech of his interpolated in what I am saying. I do not think it is advisable that that should be done. I am not going to cast any reflections on anybody, but I do not think that it is a fair or proper rule to adopt in this House. If my hon. friend had said to me when I had finished my statement, have you the figures of the different provinces, I would have said to him; No. and that would have settled the matter. But to be interrupted in what I am saying is not in my opinion either fair or desirable in the interests of the public business of the House. I was saying, when I was interrupted, that I think I am fairly well acquainted with the area of land which was under cultivation in Canada in the years 3896-7. that it was in the neighbourhood of 17.000.000 acres. I find, however, that this last year there were something over 30,000,000 acres under cultivation. Of what my hon. friend (Mr. Armstrong) says, I am Mr. FISHER.
fully aware, and I am quite ready to state in general terms that there is no doubt that out of the increase, a very large proportion, perhaps the largest proportion, I will say the largest proportion, is in what we commonly call the northwest. But I would point out to him, and to other members of the House, that that is the one chief reason why it is necessary to increase the expenditure on agriculture in Canada. If we were simply dealing with old provinces, if we were simply dealing with well known conditions, if we were dealing with what had gone before, and there was nothing more to do, it would not be so necessary to increase our expenditure or to increase our organization as it is when the new development of agriculture is under new conditions and in connection with new lands. Therefore, what I stated a few minutes ago as showing why it is necessary to spend more money to-day than it was when this government came into office, in 1896, is moTe than justified by the fact that the development of agriculture is chiefly in the northwest. Now, my hon. friends opposite, I may say, are a little difficult to please. I did not intend to try to make any statement or any animadversion upon anybody. I had wished to make my statement without any boasting and without any comparisons between parties or anything of that kind. My hon. friends opposite, howeveT, seem to resent what I am doing. I find it very difficult indeed to please them. If I did not do this, if I did not spend money I am attacked, and the government is attacked, because we do not spend enough money on agriculture and do not do enough for agriculture. If I undertake to make propositions in favour of agriculture, or for the benefit of agriculture, I arp told, not infrequently, that I am doing it simply for the purpose of getting some more patronage, some more opportunities to appoint friends to office, and so on and so on. _ I may say to my hon. friends that that will not in any way debar or prevent me from doing what I consider to be in the interests of the country. I have spoken of the various measures I have been able to carry through with the good support of my friends in the House, sometimes, very frequently with the full opposition of gentlemen opposite, although I do not remember at the moment of a single instance in which they divided the House or put themselves on record as having opposed the propositions I have made in the interests of agriculture. It is true that they may delay the passing through of certain measures; it is true that they may nag at me and talk and talk, but when the time comes to put the thing through, they are obliged to acquiesce in it. because they know that the great mass of-agricultural electors in this country are in favour of it and are going to support the government who vote for it. They

know that if they place themselves on record against it, they would incur the opposition of the great agricultural electorate of Canada. Now, Sir, enough of this.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Hear, hear.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friends opposite may applaud if they like. I say enough of it, because I think I have given them enough. I say enough of it, because although I am quite Teady to go on and fight them as long as they want on this question, or any other question that might come*up, I do not want to fight if I can help it. I am of a peaceable disposition, and it is only when I am obliged to fight in the interests of the people I represent, that I undertake to do the fighting, and then, I think, I am fairly well able to maintain the principles of those I represent. There is one thing in regard to the Department of Agriculture.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Before the minister n proceeds, I wish to ask the Speaker whether the Minister of Agriculture, or any member of this House, has a right to discuss estimates on going into supply?


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: There is no question I know of except questions that are on the order paper that cannot be discussed on going into supply. The grievance before supply is an old established principle. Unless a question is on the order paper it can be discussed.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The Minister of Finance says I might have a grievance against the opposition. I do not want to do that for as a general rule they treat me pretty well. They sometimes try to exhaust my patience, but I have a good fund of it and generally they do not succeed. They sometimes delay the good things I am proposing in the interests ofi agriculture, but in the end I get my way and the agriculturists reap the benefit of what the government is doing, and I have no quarrel with them. You know it is the man who wins who can afford to be generous, and I appreciate that the gentlemen opposite, who are losing year after year, more each year as the years go on, show a little irritation and impatience, while we on this side of the House are strong and therefore we can afford to be forbearing and let them have their fun.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: Dear, dear.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friends are evidently less interested in agriculture and the people connected with it than they are in their own amusement and their party work in the House. The Department of Agriculture while it has to-day a good deal to do with agriculture, at one time had not much to do with agriculture. In
1867, although it was called the Department of Agriculture, there was absolutely no agricultural work pure and simple going on in the department. The department had under its control immigration, census and statistics, patents, trade marks, designs and copyright, and quarantine, but nothing of an absolutely agricultural character. I suppose that the reason why all these things were put under the department was the simple fact, deplorable as it was, that there was nothing doing in agriculture on the part of the government and the minister, having nothing to do in the way of agriculture, was given all these other things to attend to.
I want now to please my hon. friends opposite by telling them that the Conservative government in 1885 and a Conservative member in this House on 1885 made the first move towards getting the De- _ partment of Agriculture to do something for agriculture in Canada. In 1885, Mr. Gigault, the member for Rouville, an earnest, studious man who appreciated the interests of the people whom he represented, moved for a committee to consider the agricultural industry of Can ada. The committee sat-I had the honour of being a member of it myself-and for a long. time we did a great deal of hard work in obtaining information as to what other countries were doing for agriculture. The report of that committee recommended the establishment of experimental farms and the result was. that Hon. Mr. Carling, then Minister of Agriculture in 1886, introduced a Bill to establish experimental farms. This was really the first purely agricultural work which the Department of Agriculture attempted to do since the confederation of this Dominion. All honour to the government of that day, all honour to Mr. Gigault who instituted the work, who brought forward the question and with a great deal of labour, thought and study presented a report of the greatest value to this House.
I say again all honour to the government and all honour especially to the present Sir John Carling, then Minister of Agriculture, because I know that in doing What he then did, in the institution of experimental stations in Uanada, he met with but a lukewarm assistance or support from his colleagues or from the House. He, however, carried it through successfully and he was fortunate, as well as wise in the choice of the gentleman whom die chose to carry out that work. He called to his assistance Mr. William Saunders, of London, now known all over Canada, and I might say all over the agricultural world as Professor Saunders, Director of Experimental Farms for Canada, and gave him an opportunity to

study, work out and establish an organization of experimental farms and stations in Canada which would do something for the progress of agriculture in Canada. Today the work of our experimental farms is a monument to the foresight, the skill, the energy and study of Professor Saunders. Our present organization is on exactly the same lines although somewhat amplified. Professor Saunders has done a work which is recognized and acknowledged by everybody to have been of inestimable advantage to the agriculture of the country. The system is a monument to that gentleman which ought to last and ought to be recognized by everybody in Canada.
In 1890, Hon. Mr. Carling appointed a 'dairy commissioner in the person of Professor Robertson. Professor Robertson was first attached to the staff at the farms, but 'after about four years he resigned his position at the farm, was appointed dairy and agricultural commissioner, especially for outside general agricultural work, and development in the country. This was a new departure again in the Agricultural Department and one of the greatest value to the country. Professor Robertson started in on what I may call an educative campaign all through Canada. He was able with his extraordinary faculty of clear exposition, with his extraordinary power of attracting people to him and to his teaching, to arouse the enthusiasm and interest of the people in the country towards agriculture in a way that probably was never equalled in any country and certainly never in Canada. He went on with this work from year to year and in 1896, when the government changed and this government came into office, he was doing this work.
I must go back a few years to the establishment of the veterinary branch of the department. Many years ago there was an outbreak of contagious diseases among 'animals in the United States, and in 1868, the first order in council was passed prohibiting the importation of cattle from the United States. An Act was passed in 1869 affecting the contagious diseases of animals and in 1876 quarantine stations were established at Halifax, St. John and Quebec, and Dr. McEachran, of Montreal, was appointed head of the service. The Doctor did not give up his own private practice and gave a portion only of his time to the service. This went on until 1902, when I found it was necessary that we should have the entire time and attention 'of such an officer. Dr. McEachran was not *willing to give up his private practice and therefore, retired from that executive position and Dr. Rutherford was appointed head of the veterinary staff with his resi-


Sydney Arthur Fisher: dence and office here in Otawa, giving his *whole time and attention to that work. I may say that Dr. McEachran did not have his office in Ottawa, and the secretary of the department attended practically to 'all the routine work. I am not going *into the details of that now, because T want first to say a word or two of the 'general work of the department.
In the general development of the work which has been going on, the farmers of the country have taken a tremendous interest, and they have been stimulated to study their business much more than they U3ed to do. With the exception perhaps of a few live stock men of Ontario who have always been in the forefront of agricultural progress on the continent of America, the great mass of the farmers of Canada were evolving what I may call a very elementary agriculture into the scientific work of the cultivation of the soil and the management of stock on farms. The work of the department has been mostly of the nature of instruction, for the purpose of rousing their interest and giving them information. In this connection I would like to make a statement as to the amount of literature and bulletins that we send out from the Agricultural Department to the farmers. In 1907 we sent out 534,000 bulletins or leaflets in English, and 238,000 in French, or a total of 772,000 pieces of literature distributed to individual farmers over the country, not in bundles, not in bulk, but addressed to individual farmers. In 1908 the quantity dropped a little, to
726,000	pieces. This year, however, I am satisfied, without knowing the figures, but by reason of the fact that our originization has been improved, there has been a material increase in the quantity sent out.
Now, having thus given a general outline of the work, I want to say a few words in regard to the veterinary branch. I spoke a few moments ago of the establishment in 1876, of quarantine stations at Halifax, St. 'John and Quebec. In 1883 a station was established at Point Edward, Ont., for the 'purpose of dealing with importations from the United States. In 1884 another one *was established at Emerson in Manitoba, 'and there was an arrangement made for an inspection of animals coming in from the United States along the northwestern boundary. Five years later, in 1889, another 'quarantine station was established at Victoria, B.C. There was an outbreak in 1884 of the foot and mouth disease which was 'dealt with at the quarantine in Levis, but it never spread outside the quarantine, and it was occasioned by the importation of animals from the old country which were diseased when they landed. In 1885 we had the first case of hog cholera which no doubt came in from the United States where that disease had been very prevalent. In 1890 quarantine stations were establish-

ed at Manitou and Deloraine, in Manitoba, in 1891 and onward other stations were established in the "west. In 1902, Dr. McEach-ran resigned, and Dr. Rutherford was appointed chief veterinary inspector for the Dominion, with head office at Ottawa. Later in 1904, Dr. Rutherford's title was changed to Veterinary Director General.
I wish to say a word or two in regard to the general work of that branch. Originally the branch was only intended to work at the frontier to protect Canada from the introduction of animal diseases from abroad, As time went on the difficulty of dealing with that disease from a local standpoint and under provincial laws, has been growing, and we have found it necessary to deal with it from the Dominion point of view. The Animal Contagious Diseases Act applies to the whole. Dominion, regulations made under it apply to the whole Dominion, and by reason of the fact that there is a constant passage of animals from one province to the other, and constant danger that disease may spread beyond the confines of any particular province, it has been found absolutely necessary to deal with this disease on broad Dominion lines. The work has continued to increase, and I am glad to say most successfully in some respects. The hog cholera which came in from the United States into the southwestern part of Ontario, and which, at the time I came into the office, was very virulent, continued for some years afterwards without much abatement, but it has now been practically stamped out. Some seven or eight years ago we were paying on an average something like $30,000 a year as compensation for the slaughter of hogs. The last two or three years the expense has gone down, one year as low as $2,000. I think last year in consequence of one particular herd of great value being slaughtered, the sum went up a little; but the average for the last few years has been well under $5,000. We have not completely stamped it out and do not expect to, but we have it pretty well within control, and whenever there is an outbreak we are able to localize it and prevent its spreading. There was an old disease called the Pictou cattle disease which, for a long time, was a source of great trouble in the counties of Pictou, Guysboro and Antigonish, N.S., and notwithstanding our efforts, it spread a little into Prince Edward Island. Years ago, in the early part of my administration, and before then, we were spending on that disease a few thousand dollars every year in paying compensation for slaughtered animals. The disease did not increase to any great extent, but it did not decrease at all. When Dr. Rutherford came into office he assured me that he was satisfied the disease was altogether due to the eating by the animals of a certain local weed
'commonly called the stink weed, or rag-'wort. Exhaustive experiments were undertaken to find out whether that was the case, and after several vears of investigation it was absolutely proved that that weed was the cause of the disease, and we refused any longer to pay compensation for the death of those animals, because it had become very evident that the existence of the disease was due to the failure of the farmers to eradicate that weed. They naturally replied to us, how can we eradicate that weed? We immediately set to work to try experiments with sheep on a farm in the neighborhood of Antigonish, and we showed clearly in the course of three seasons that the pasturing of sheep on a piece of land infested with that weed, would destroy it and absolutely clean the land of it within a few years. The result i3 that to-day we have been able


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: I am sorry to interrupt the minister, I did not know that he was dealing with weeds. Before he had concluded his remarks on quarantine I wanted to ask him if he would be good enough to tell the House what he had done for the removal of the cattle embargo, or whether anything had been done.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Really, Mr. Speaker, I must say that I think this is a must unfair interruption. I am speaking of a matter of interest which my hon. friend, being from Ontario, may think of no consequence, but which is of great consequence to the provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, in which, over a considerable area of country, large numbers of farmers are seriously hampered in their operations, and have been for years past. Why my hon. friend should get up and interrupt me in talking of that subject by a question with regard to the cattle quarantine in England, is beyond my comprehension, and it is an evidence of the state of affairs I spoke of a few moments ago, showing that the hon. gentlemen opposite either intentionally or by arrant stupidity, are delaying the progress of public business.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Order.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: I think the hon. gentleman's expression is a little too severe.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am happy to withdraw the remark, it is evident that hon. gentlemen opposite do not like arrant stupidity.


Mr. LENNOX.: I think the statement of the minister is very ill-timed. We have been listening attentively and courteously to his remarks and I think his statement comes with very bad grace.
M.\ FISHER. I am not speaking of unkindness; I was only remarking what I said-


Haughton Lennox: I did not use the word ' unkindness.'


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The hon. member for East Lambton just now stopped me and the interruption he made was entirely out of place. The opposition undertake to interrupt in the most unnecessary and ill-judged wav_ asking questions about one subject when I am discussing another, and questions which are entirely irrelevant to the matter under discussion.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: I think the minister is most unfair. When I rose I said that I thought he had concluded his remarks on quarantine, and surely, when he was discussing the question of quarantine, it was the proper time to ask him whether the cattle embargo had been removed, and if not, why not. It was merely a straight question, and it was not innetded to be harmful in any way.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I can only say that, I cannot understand what the relevancy of that question is to the question under discussion-the Pictou cattle disease. It was put to me in the middle of a sentence, and before I had concluded my remarks upon that subject. My hon. friend now contends that it was because he feared I was going to leave that branch without dealing with the cattle quarantine in England. But, he asked me a question entirely and absolutely irrelevant to the remarks I was then making. I have no objection to fair questions with regard to the subject upon which I s m speaking. If_my hon. friend had asked me a question with regard to the Pictou cattle disease, I would have been glad to have given him any information and endeavoured, to answer him as well as I could, but to interpolate a question about the cattle quarantine in England in the middle of a sentence while dealing with the Pictou cattle disease is to do something which is absolutely irrelevant and interrupts and pre-vents_ the continuity of the statement which I desire to make. My hon. friend now says that he had not any evil intention and I accept his statement, but I want to ask him not to repeat that kind of thing.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: The minister was talking about seeds and the sheep picking them up.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The hon. gentleman shows how little he understood what I was saying.
I was pointing out that a certain disease was due to the eating of a weed by the cattle, that farmers, as a result of our proof that that was the cause of the disease, asked how they could get rid of the weed, and I pointed out that we had been able, by a series of experiments, to show how they could get rid of the weed. I will deal with weeds at a later stage in regard to the Seed Control Act and the branch of the department having that matter in charge. But this Mr. FISHER.
is a question entirely of animals and not of weeds. It was the weed only with reference to the disease in the animals that I was discussing.
Mr. iSPROULE. If there was no relevancy in the question put by my hon. friend from East Lambton, is it not a fact that the embargo is due to diseases in cattle, and the minister is dealing with diseases in1 cattle which would exclude them from England or the United States? Then, if a question is asked at that particular time, under the impression that the minister is passing to another subject, how can the question be irrelevant?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The hon. gentleman saya that he was under the impression that I was passing to another subject, and yet hei put his question to me in the middle of a sentence. If the hon. gentleman had only, reflected a moment, he would have knowm that the Pictou cattle disease has nothing to do with the cattle embargo, that thei embargo placed on cattle going from Cani ada is from fear of pleuro pneumonia andi foot and mouth disease, and only in regard, to these diseases.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Who knew what the Pictou cattle disease was?


Mr. STAPLES.: Have I the minister'si permission to ask a question of him?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, in regard to this, subject.


William D. Staples: I will try to stick to the, subject, seeing that the minister _ is so* touchy this morning. If the minister isi out for a scrap, he will probably get it he-* fore he is done. Has he not had that dis-* ease fully explained in a pamphlet, and has he not issued it throughout the dis-. tricts affected by the disease?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


William D. Staples: Then, what is the object,
of th.e minister, at this late stage of the session, taking up the time going into this, question, or trying to formulate it in a speech when it has already been dealt with and the facts put in the hands of the agri-i culturists of the country?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Well, my hon. friend will have to answer that for himself. From the way in which questions are put to me, it is very evident that a good deal of repetition has to be indulged in to inform hon. gentlemen opposite, and perhaps somebody else. But, I intend to go on with my remarks.


Mr. CAMPBELL.: May I ask a question also?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, if it is relevant.


Glenlyon Campbell: Certainly, it will be, cr I would not ask it, Sir. The question.

I would prefer is this: Has this weed that products this disease any relation at all to the Loco?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I cannot say.


Glenlyon Campbell: Does the minister know what the Loco is?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am not quite certain that I do.


Glenlyon Campbell: Well, I will tell him.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not wish to get the
information from the hon. member. I will find out from a better authority.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: The minister certainly has the floor, and the rule of the House is that he cannot be interrupted except to order or privilege. If he wishes to answer* a question, it is merely through courtesy.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: In addition to the Pictou cattle disease, which we have been able to deal with, and in regard to which we have been able to reach pretty fairly accurate conclusions, we have had a good deal to do with sheep scab, and I am glad to be able to say that by careful observation, watching, quarantine and dipping, when the disease existed, we were able a little while ago to notify the United States authorities that there was no sheep scab in Canada! That was of great value to the country, because two years ago the American authorities put on a quarantine against Canadian sheep going into the United States. That) was of great importance to our sheep breeders, because one of the -best markets for our sheep is in the United States, and the quarantine practically shut them out of that market. The sheep breeders of the country approached me and urged that we should deal with the American authorities and secure the abrogation of the quarantine. We made representations, and after a careful discussion of the question and satisfactory proof being submitted to the American authorities that no sheep scab existed in Canada, and that we had a com-ple organization which would enable us to deal promptly and effectively with any outbreak which might occur, the American authorities, some months aso, removed the quarantine to the great relief of the sheep breeders and dealers of Canada.
There is another disease which has been brought to the attention of the public just lately, which has not been altogether finally dealt with, and that is rabies or hydrophobia. The question has been up in the House recently, and I need only touch upon it as being a paTt of the work of that branch of the department. In conjunction with the local authorities, there being some question as to the respective powers and authority, we agreed simultaneously, and have been able to issue orders in regard to this disease. The local authorities, having local officers all over the country,
undertook to enforce the regulatians. I understand that the result has been the ar-restation of the spread of the disease. It was an unfortunate accident that a certain dog came across the bridge at Niagara and introduced the disease into Ontario. The spread was extraordinary, and we have been -able by our organization throughout the country to follow up, and locate practically all the animals which were likely to have been affected. I am glad to say today that by the effective work of the local authorities, the authorities of the government of Ontario in whom the hon. gentlemen are very much interested, working under the regulations issued by my department, the disease has been reduced, the dangers have been confined, and I believe that in a short time the disease will be stamped out, and we will be able to reach the position which we occupied a few years ago in which it could be said that there was no hydrophobia in Canada. In connection with our other veterinary work in 1904, we established at the Experimental Farm here a biological laboratory in which specimens of diseased animals or meats can be examined biologically by experts, and a decision come to in regard to this and other diseases. This was an absoulte necessity if we were to carry on the work so as to be sure of our ground, while costing a considerable amount this laboratory has enabled us to work on correct lines, and effectually and to 'be sure whenever we take steps of enforcement. We had a notable example a while ago which I think is very gratifying to all Canadians of the efficiency of this branch of the department. That was in the case of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the New England States. As the result of ,that outbreak, the American government quarantined the New England and some other states, New York and Michigan, where there were also outbreaks of the disease, and the imperial government in England forbade the entry of any animals into England that came from these states or from ports in these states. We immediately put quarantine on the boundary line, and shut out all communications, not only the passage of animals, but of hides, and of cars without thorough cleaning, and of everything that could possibly bring in the disease. The result was that notwithstanding the long contiguity of territory, over 2,000 miles with territory on one side in which the disease existed, and on the other side the Canadian flocks, and herds among which not one case of disease occurred. We were able to guard our people from the terrible loss that came to the Americans on the other side of the line in consequence of this disease and to keep open the English market to our cattle.
We have lately had the question of tuber-

culosis before us. This is an important question, and is agitating the whole people of the country. We have done a little towards aiding the spread of knowledge in regard to it, and we have tried to see what can be done to decrease bovine tuberculosis in the country. We have refrained from taking drastic steps which might not be effective, and which would entail loss and stoppage of trade. At the same time we have been investigating, and trying to find out a method by which this disease could be dealt with without undue harshness or causing undue loss to the farmers in the slaughtering of animals, or undue stoppage of trade. Just lately we have arranged with the veterinary association of the North American continent that a committee should be established to consider and investigate methods which might be employed, in the interests of all classes of the community, to stamp out this disease. It is a most important, complex, and difficult subject, but one the importance of which I consider justifies our taking great pains, devoting to it great study, and considerable money. I am glad to know that the North American Association of Veterinary Surgeons - named Dr. Rutherford the chief veterinary officer of the Dominion of Canada, as chairman of that committee, and he has taken the lead in that investigation work.
A word in regard to glanders. This disease in the old days was hardly known in Canada. There were a few sporadic cases, but some years ago it began to be dangerous. For a few years the efforts to restrain it were ineffectual, and I was obliged to ask a vote to pay compensation, and to order the slaughter of all dangerous animals. This was granted, and a large sum was placed at my disposal. I am glad to say the work has been going on very satisfactorily and successfully. We have been able to show a decided decrease in glanders which is proved by the fact that while in the first year we undertook to pay compen-'sation we paid out about $150,000, this year we paid only a little over $40,000 in compensation, and yet the organization, and system is such that we are to-day better able to reach all cases that are reported or suspected, and I am satisfied that the proportion as between about $150,000 a year and $40,000 a year in compensation, is a fair showing of the proportion of the disease in the country.


Glenlyon Campbell: Have the department had any complaints with regard to horses being shot by its officials that were not infected with glanders? I mention that because a drunken employee of this government came up to my riding, and shot several horses which after death were examined by a competent man residing there, and proved to have no disease at all out-Mr. FISHER.
side of a little cold. Your official was drunk of course.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If my hon. friend would give me the name of the official who was drunk on duty in that way, that official would cease to be my official in a very few minutes.


Glenlyon Campbell: I can very easily do that.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Any official of the Department of Agriculture who is drunk on duty will receive a very short shrift from the minister or the heads of the department. Occasionally complaints of the improper slaughter of animals have reached the department. Questions have arisen. It is natural that people who own animals that they do not think are diseased, should feel impatient at the idea of their slaughter and at only getting two-thirds of the value of the animal. These complaints are not infrequent. They are always investigated, and dealt with on their merits by the chief officers of the department. The particular case my hon. friend (Mr. Campbell) refers to, I have no knowledge of, and I cannot give him any answer just now except what I have stated. But if it is the case that the man was drunk on duty, I will see that he ceases to be an officer of my department.


Glenlyon Campbell: I will be very glad to give the hon. minister all particulars.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: One question more, and it is a pretty important one for the stock men of Canada. That is the establishment of what is known as Canadian records or herd books or stud books of Canada. The live stock men of Canada and of the United States evidently depend largely upon what I might call joint books for recording and registering pedigrees of their animals and securing their certificates of pure breeding. These books in general have been managed in the United States and in the interests of the associations of that country. The breeders in Canada of pure bred stock have been rather impatient for a long time under this, and in some instances have suffered no doubt. Some time ago, in connection with the live stock interests in Canada, representations were made asking me to establish in Canada, Canadian records for the registration of pure stock. It was a difficult and involved question. I did not feel it was proper and right for the government to undertake the management of such records, and therefore I suggested to the leading stock men that if we were to establish a committee under their management, to establish and run an office of the kind, I would give them office room and the necessary stationery, printing and so on, and aid them by a grant of money. I am glad to say that this has been running now for a number of years, I think about five or six years, and that while the work

is not done altogether in a way that is entirely satisfactory, it has been a great boon to the stock men. The committee have entire charge of it, and they have recently come to an arrangement, with the officers of my department to make certain improvements and rearrangements which I trust and believe will lead to the satisfactory carrying on of this work. The live stock men of the country are unanimous in saying that the result of its being done, I wont say under government command, but undei government patronage, if I may use that term, has been a help to them. The result has been that abroad, those records have been recognized in a way they could not have been recognized, if they had been run by private associations or individual people. There has also 'been a clear definition of such registers or pedigrees which are eligible for registration in Canada, and this has been a thing which has saved a large number of men who have bought what they supposed to be pure bred animals from abroad, introduced them into Canada, and after using them for breeding purposes for some time have found that the produce could not be registered under the recognized and well established books. When anything now comes into Canada and applies for free entry under the Customs Act, as a pure bred animal the register and pedigree are examined by this office and the owner or the purchaser is notified as to whether the animal is so registered and that it has such a pedigree as will be recognized in the Canadian book. This is a safeguard to the breeders of pure bred stock in the country which I think is of great value and which the stock breeders are recognizing as a great step in advance. It is costing more money to do it, but I think the results justify it, and I am very glad to say in this connection that the men themselves are able to run an office of this kind without interference and only with the assistance of the department.


Mr. HERRON.: I would like to ask the minister a question. Have the customs officers at your ports been supplied with full instructions regarding the quality of animals and the certificates that are necessary to show what books the animals are registered in? There are several places along the border line of our country, and if these are not strictly kept people might be imposed upon to the detriment of the country.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: A list of the associations or books which are to be recognized is in the Customs Department and has been sent by the department I believe to every collector of customs in the country, and any pedigree which comes in and is presented to them, but which is not endorsed or signed by the properly qualified officials 229
of this association is rejected. We have had communications and discussions with the Customs Department, and I know those instructions have been sent out from the Customs Department to their collectors all over the Dominion, and I have no doubt the collectors are carrying out their instructions. I would like to point out that in addition to this work that I have just sketched we have a live stock division, which is connected with the veterinary division, from the fact that Dr. Rutherford, who is the head of the veterinary division is also live stock commissioner. We are dealing in that division with live stock matters generally, and we are doing interesting work all over the country. We are supplying judges to the fairs, when requested by the authorities of the fairs, and the judges who have been sent have met with universal acceptance. They are chosen simply for their qualifications with respect to the stock they are to judge. They are not permanent officers of the department, as a general rule, but are picked out from well known stock men and without regard to anything at all except that they are recognized as judges of the character of stock they are called on to judge. In this connection I may say these men are paid their travelling expenses by us, but their entertainment at the places they are sent to, is expected to be provided by the association with which they are dealing. The live stock branch has also been editing some books, which I think are of value and which have met with great acceptance on the part of the public. Hon. gentlemen will remember that a few days ago, a book on the swine industry, a report of the commission sent to Denmark, was laid on the table. Since that day, I have had many requests from members of the House, for copies for distribution. My reply to each and every one has been that we had a long list of people to whom those publications were sent, and that if any hon. member sent a list of names it would be compared with the lists which are already in and he would be given the publication if he had not already received it.


Mr. W. H. SHARPE.: What was the object of the commission?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would be very glad to answer the question, but I will just spepk for the moment, of the publication. A little while ago a publication in regard to the sheep husbandly of Canada was prepared and put out by the gentleman under Dr. Rutherford, who is in charge of that branch, Mr. Spencer, which has met with a great deal of praise from the people of Canada and elsewhere. It is nicely got up and a large number of copies have been printed and distributed. One reason why it was done in regard to that particular class of



stock was that every one connected with the departmental work feels that it is deplorable that in Canada sheep husbandry seems to be declining. There are not as many- sheep in Canada to-day as there were a few years ago. One reason it is stated, is that there is no duty on wool. Another reason given is that the dogs are so bad that they cannot keep the sheep. Another reason is that a great many of our farmers, especially the new farmers, are not disposed to raise sheep and are not successful in sheep raising. We made a special effort to give information to those who might be desirous of going into the sheep raising industry, because we all believe that in Canada there is a splendid opportunity for large industry. We think it is very unfortunate, in view of certain things connected with that class of animals, that they should not be kept in greater numbers unfortunate not only as to themselves, but because of the value of flocks of sheep on the farms for the enrichment of the soil. My hon. friend (Mr. Sharpe) asked what was the object of the commission to Denmark. Representations were made to me that the swine industry was going down, that there were difficulties in regard to the production of swine, particularly in the province of. Ontario, where this industry is the largest, and that the men were not getting a fair return on their investment in swine. They pointed out that in Denmark and in Ireland and England, this industry was very successful, that the Danes were our chief competitors in the English market, and that we might be able to learn a good deal. I believed that our officers of the Agriculture Department had all the information that could be got, but I found that the farmers were not prepared to accept that statement, and I thought it would be well to send a small commission of farmers engaged in the industry in Canada, to those countries to find out how our competitors did their work, and how it was that the industry flourished in Denmark and England, while it did not seem to flourish in Canada. I felt that the swine industry is of such vast importance to the farmers and to the country, that anything we could do to stimulate it in Canada, would be money well spent. One officer of the department, Mr. Spencer, was sent as secretary, to edit the report with other men who were themselves actually engaged in the raising and fattening of swine. Mr. Ballantyne, of Ontario, Mr. Gareeau, of Quebec, and Mr. Sinclair from Prince Edward Island, representing the maritime provinces. They went there, and you saw the result of their visit. Evidently from the demands for the report, it is a report that has received acceptance, not only at the hands of the people of the Mr. FISHER.
country, but also at the hands of the members of the House.
At one o'clock. House took recess.
House resumed at three o'clock.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Mr. Speaker, when the House took recess I had given an explanation of the work of the commission which went to Denmark and the old country to investigate the swine industry. I do not think I need enlarge on that matter further unless hon. gentlemen opposite wish me to. There is, however, one feature of the work of the live stock branch of my department which I must say a word about. I refer to the establishment of books of record -for French Canadian horses, and a reference to that matter is due especially to my hon. friends from Quebec who are particularly interested in it. There had been a record established in Quebec of what is known as the French Canadian horse, much in the same way as the record for French Canadian cattle had been established. When the national records were established in Ottawa, these as well as other local records were brought under the consideration of the department and of the National Live Stock Association. The records of the French Canadian cattle were accepted without hesitation as national in their character, but in the case of the French Canadian horse the officials of the department and those interested in the matter themselves were not satisfied with the existing conditions. Conferences took place between the Breeders' Association of the province of Quebec, and and the officers of the department and myself, and an agreement was come to by which the character of the records of the French Canadian horse already existing were thoroughly sifted. A commission was appointed of well known horse-ibreed-ers as well as some officers of the department to deal with the matter, and that commission instituted a new record for the French Canadian horse. It was found that a very large number of animals had been formerly listed which did not come up to the standard as pure-bred, and consequently the new book opened with a fewer number of horses on the registrar. This entailed some hardship upon individual owners, but in the interest of the industry at large and of the producers of these animals in the province of Quebec, it was decided to take that course no matter who suffered. I wish to say that it is greatly to the credit of those interested in the breed of French Canadian horses that they Svere satisfied to make the sacrifice in order to establish on a firm basis that breed of horses. The French Canadian

'breed of horses is pretty wen established 5n the province of Quebec, and is now Spreading into other parts of Canada and the United States. It is a valuable breed and I believe that the breeders will be enabled through the medium of this new 'record to realize in future handsome profits.
' May I say a word on the question of the cattle embargo in England. This does not come within the scope of the work of my department in Canada, but my hon. friend (Mr. Armstrong) has referred to it and I think I should answer him. The cattle embargo in England was established by the English people and it is purely a matter of their own concern. Representations have been made by the former Conservative government and by this government from time to time since it has come into power, as to the injustice and lack of necessity for this embargo from the point of view of protecting the health of the animals in Great Britain. So far as the existence of any cattle disease in this country is concerned I have no hesitation in saying that the embargo in Great Britain to-day and for many years past has been unnecessary. Still, the British people have the right to take all the precautions they deem necessary in the interests of their live stock and it is not for me or the people of Canada to teach them how to administer their affairs. We have to accept their regulations, just in the same way, as if, were the conditions reversed they would have to accept any regulations we might impose.


William Henry Sharpe: What are the regulations?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: In brief: That all horned animals coming into England from abroad must be landed at certain specified ports where there are lairages and slaughtered there within 10 days of arrival. I may say that at the present time only animals coming from the United States and Canada are permitted thus to be landed. Argentine had that privilege, but it has been taken away and I understand the_ government of Argentine is negotiating with the British government with a view to the privilege being restored to them.


William Henry Sharpe: If we had a cold storage system in Canada would our products be held up just the same, and inspected?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: 
Joseph Elijah Armstrong: A few years ago the Committee on Agriculture passed a resolution asking the minister to confer with the Ministers of Agriculture in the different provinces and endeavour to find a means to have this embargo removed. Would the minister give his reasons for paying no attention to that resolution from the day it was passed until the present day?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My communication with the imperial authorities on this question and my knowledge of the opinions of various Ministers of Agriculture in England, leads me to believe that it would not be dignified or proper for the government of Canada to take any further steps until there is a change of view on the part of English statesmen. I do not think it would be consistent with the dignity or the interests of the Dominion that we should go on our knees and appeal to the imperial authorities, or undertake to censure them for a course which it is undoubtedly within their right to take. The feeling of the people of Canada on this subject has been officially expressed to them over and over again, and the replies have been such as I think make it impossible for us to deal further with that matter until such time as a different expression of opinion comes from the authorities in England. I may say further that within a year and a half there has been a most positive official statement on the part of the English board of agriculture that the embargo must remain. Under these circumstances I think it would be unwise and improper for us to take such steps.
I propose now to say something about experimental farms. The policy of the experimental farms was first adopted in 1885-6, and made a work of the Agricultural Department. I have already expressed in the highest terms of commendation what I considered to be but justice and fairness to the Minister of Agriculture of that day, and to the government and the party who established the experimental farm. I have said a few words in regard to the work, the extraordinary work, the highly important and very successful work, of the director of the farms in the original organization of. the establishment and its continuation up to the present time. I would also like to say here that Dr. Saunders has been assisted and surrounded by a body of men on the experimental farms who have devoted themselves to this work with great self-sacrifice. For many years they did their duty at salaries which were not in any way commensurate with the salaries of other officials who were doing what I do not think it is improper to say was less important work for the Dominion

of Canada. There had been very little recognition of that work for many years. Soon after I came into the office I felt that the time had come to increase their salaries and make some substantial recognition of the value of the work of those officers at the experimental farm. That has gone on to a considerable extent. I make no apology for that, I know the House has endorsed that action over and over again, and I am proud indeed to say in this House that the work done in the interest of Canadian agriculture has been fairly well recognized as of the highest character and as the greatest honour. I am glad to say that to-day the status of the men who are doing this work on behalf of the people of Canada, has been improved, and that today they occupy a position as honourable before the country as that of any other officials in the employ of the government. I think this is but due to them, and parliament has done no more than its duty in treating them in that way.
Now I want to say a word or two in regard to the expansion of the agricultural farm system. It has been the natural and legitimate consequence of the increase of the agricultural interest in this country during the last fifteen years. At the time I came into office the staff was perhaps quite equal to the demands upon it. It is true that just at that time Prof. Robertson, who had been appointed dairy commissioner at the experimental farm, had been removed from that position and placed in another position. The consequence was that there was no agriculturalist at the farm at that time. I thought it was necessary to have one, because, aside from the scientific work of the horticulturist, the chemist, the botanist and entomologist, it was very necessary to apply to the common agriculture of the country the scientific truths and discoveries which were made by those other officers. Very soon after I assumed the office, I think about 1899, I appointed Mr. Grisdale as agriculturalist at the farm. This was but a continuation of the policy that was adopted when Prof. Robertson was appointed; Prof. Robertson having been removed, there was a vacancy, and the appointment was made. I can say without hesitation that the result has been very satisfactory to the general work of the experimental farm. In the first place, the actual general work of the farm here has been somewhat changed; it has been divided up into a purely agricultural dairy farm and an experimental farm. The experimental work goes on on some parts of the farm. There are 200 acres of the farm turned into a simple dairy farm such as might be in any part of the country. That work has been going on satisfactorily. I think it was begun in 1901 or 1902, and has reflected great credit on the agriculturalist who has been managing this work. I Mr. FISHER.
would like to give a few figures in regard to the production of the farm to-day compared with what it was before that work was undertaken. It is the same farm and the same land. I may say that since this work was undertaken there has been no manure bought and put upon that 200 acres.

Certainly a very handsome increase, and denoting a substantial improvement of the land. I would say that the results show a profit of $573 in the case of swine alone this last year. Now I feel this is an important advance, and one that is of greatest value to the farmers. This is a work that can be taken as a model by the farmers generally in most other parts of Canada, regard being had of course to difference of climate and conditions. I may add that in numberless instances where Mr. Grisdale, and others have spoken to gatherings of farmers, usually of the leading farmers of the locality, they have imparted information of the highest practical value to the agriculturalists, who have shown their appreciation of their efforts. At the same time all experimental work, pure and simple, has been going on on a larger scale. There is a considerably larger staff now than there was then. There are to-day thirty-nine men above the labouring class on the farm as compared with twenty in 1896. The whole staff is sixty-five to-day as compared with fifty in 1896, but of the higher class men, men who are doing work in the way of experiment, in the way of investigation, in the way_of spreading the knowledge that is acquired amongst the people, there is an increase of nearly double while the whole staff is only increased by about 27 per oent. The total wages were $17,000 in 1896, and $25,890 in 1910. In addition to the agriculturist, whose work I have just lightly touched upon, we have appointed a new officer in the person of Dr. Charles Saunders as cerealist. Dr. Charles Saunders has been conducting a large number of experiments, most satisfactorily, and successfully with regard to the cereal crop of the country, and has gone into the details of hybridization, and selection of seed to show the value of certain new varieties, the use of which amongst our farmers we hope will add very considerably to the production

and quality of the cereal crops grown in Canada. In that connection I have to say that Dr. Charles Saunders, as is known to the members of the Agriculture Committee, has made extensive experiments in testing the quality of wheat not only by chemical, and other processes, but also in practically grinding the grain, making the flour and baking the bread. In this way he has been able to show that certain kinds of grain and wheat are better for bread production than other varieties, and has been able to spread amongst the people of the country that knowledge so as to guide the farmers in the variety that they shall sow, information which I believe to be most useful to them, and as a result of which they will be able in the near future not only to increase the quantity of the wheat production of Canada, but also its quality, and add to our advantages as the granary of the whole world.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: He has been carrying on that work for nearly twenty years.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friend interrupts me by saying that he was carrying on that work nearly twenty years ago. In the first place Dr. Charles Saunders was not appointed to the farm until seven years ago.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Dr. Saunders.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Dr. Saunders was not conducting any experiments of that kind at all. Dr. Saunders was doing some hybridization in fruits, some selection of grain, but the work that is now being carried on was not begun until Dr. Charles Saunders was appointed. Dr. Saunders, I have no doubt, would have been very glad to do it, but he had not time with the multiplicity of other work that he had to do. Dr. Charles Saunders was especially appointed to take charge of this work. I am not saying anything against the work that Dr. Saunders did before, but there were not sufficient men available at the farm to do the work as it has been done since the appointment of Dr. Charles Saunders.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Is the minister not aware of the fact that nearly twenty years ago bread was brought to the Agriculture Committee, and shown to the committee as the results obtained by using different kinds of wheat grown in Canada. For instance, there was Ladoga wheat, and we were told that it was not wise to cultivate that variety, because it made yellower bread than other varieties. We had the bread shown to us. The wheat had been ground in the mills, and we were told how much flour the baker got out of it. That was all brought before the committee twenty years ago.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Quite true to a limited extent, but the work that wTas done then
was done outside and away from the farm. The bread was baked by_ ordinary bakers and the test was made in that way. Today it is all done under the supervision of a scientific man who has facilities, bakeries and every condition which will enable him to obtain accurate knowledge as to the results. I am not depreciating what was done before, but I am pointing out that a new officer has been appointed for the special purpose of carrying on this new piece of work. In addition to that, just lately, unfortunately, our long-time and most valued officer, Dr. Fletcher, entomologist and botanist at the experimental farm, passed away. He had been for many years botanist and entomologist, he had done most valuable work, but he had been overburdened with work, and a good deal of work which might properly have been done in the interest of agriculture by the entomological and botanical division had not been overtaken and could not be overtaken by Dr. Fletcher or by any person else. So that, when a little while ago, Dr. Fletcher, to the great regret of everybody, passed away, I thought it would be my duty to get two officers, one a botanist and one an entomologist, to take his place and start the work in two divisions. The result is that we have now an extra division there. I may say that while Prof. Shutt, the chemist, in the old days, had one assistant, he has now two and another, not a scientific assistant, as well; that in those days, while Mr. John Craig had no assistant of any kind, Mr. Macoun has now his stenographer and typewriter, which relieves him of a great deal of work that Mr. Craig had to do. In Dr. Fletcher's departmqrit there was one assistant at that time to the botanist. To-day, Mr. Hewitt, the new entomologist, has two assistants, and Mr. Giissow, the new botanist, has two assistants, adding to the scientific and experimental staff of the farm in most important ways.
Then, may I say a word with regard to some expenditures that we have made at the farm itself? One of the first things that had to be done was to provide for necessary laboratory and chemical work. Years ago, after I came into office, the laboratory was burned. It then occupied a couple of rooms in the office building. Instead of refitting those rooms it was thought best to erect a new laboratory, and a considerable sum was spent in putting up and establishing a chemical laboratory, in which for many years past the work of the chemist and his staff has been carried on and which contains all the fittings and appliances necessary for the kind of work which they are doing. A little while afterwards additional buildings were put up for the sheep which were added to the farm stock in the period I have spoken of. A building for roots and implements wai

erected, and later on a horse stable was built of a very fine character, which, I think, would serve as a model for any farm in the country. Comparatively recently the stables in the big barn of the experimental farm have been entirely refitted. When they were originally built they were built without that knowledge which has been arrived at in the course of the last twenty years in our agriculture and live stock work. The kind of accommodation for cattle that we had there, which should be a model for farmers, was very severely animadverted on by farmers who came to visit the farm. I am glad to say that to-day that stable can be taken as a model. It is well ventilated, has plenty of air, no bad odours, it is convenient for the work, convenient and comfortable for the animals, is kept clean and in every way is an object of admiration. In addition, there has been a building put up to accommodate .the horticultural work. In the old days when Mr. John Craig was horticulturalist, he had only a little office, but when Mr. Macoun took charge and as the work expanded it was found necessary to provide more extensive accommodation, and we have now a very good horticultural building. We also have had to add to the office accommodation to serve the increased staff who now have good and sufficient rooms for their valuable work.
I come now to the question of the branch farms. I am sorry my hon. friend from Souris (Mr. Schaffner) is not here, because some time ago he questioned me with reference to this matter. I have observed, as others have, that wherever branch farms are in existence they have had an excellent influence on the agriculture in their vicinity. Indian Head is one of the best wheat producing districts in the Northwest, and over and over again the work of Mr. McKay on that farm has been highly commended. The same is largely true of Brandon. With the desire to have the same kind of improvement in other parts of the country, we thought we should add to the number of branch experimental farms and several have been established. The first was at Lacombe, in North Alberta, the second at Lethbridge, in South Alberta, and the third at Rosthern in northern Saskatchewan. and more recently another was established in Prince Edward Island, as the people there thought they could not make use of the experimental farm at Nappan in Nova Scotia. Within the last few days, I have acquired another site for a station in the north part of Saskatchewan. For some time past I have had an officerof my department examining the different districts, and I believe I have now a knowledge of the needs of the particular localities throughout the country, which enables me to say that during the coming season, I shall be able to fix upon some five or six more Mr. FISHER.
branch stations. I want to speak on one feature of this project, which I think is of the greatest importance. The old branch farms were established on the basis of large buildings and equipment, a large staff, and the maintenance of quite a quantity of live stock. I want to say one thing in connection with the agriculture of Canada, which I would like should attract the consideration of the people generally. So far as our general agriculture is concerned, we have made greater advances in dealing with our live stock and in the utilization of the products of our land than we have in the cultivation of land and the production of crops. In the best parts of Ontario,there are a large number of first-class farmers who are not only good stock men but good cultivators of the soil as well. But, if we examine the reports from the other parts of Canada any unprejudiced mind must conclude that in view of the fertile soil which spreads all over this Dominion, and the intelligence of our people, the annual crop production per acre is not what it ought to be. I believe that is due to the fact that scientific methods of cultivating the soil and the treatment of land are not thoroughly well understood by our people generally. To instruct and teach the people, object lessons are of the primest importance. If those who live in a particular district can go to an easily accessible central point and there see illustrated the result of good management of the crops and of scientific treatment of the soil, they can learn more than they can by any amount of reading and oral instruction. It is therefore highly important that the number of branch stations should be increased. Now, if each of these stations were to cost $25,000 or $35,000 the appropriations I ask from parliament would not enable me to establish any great number. It is my belief that we should establish comparatively smaller stations and deal simply with crop production, and not include stock experiments to any great extent, if at all. After all, the experiment of feeding stock indoors is very much the same in one place as in another, and the results obtained will serve the industry in all parts of the country. But, experiments in the treatment of the soil and the production of the crops must be conducted in as many different localities as possible, and they must be shown on the land in as many places as possible. I am therefore trying to establish a very considerable number of branch stations of this character where we can show the actual application on the land of the science which has been adduced from successful experimentation. This is a new principle in the establishment of these branch farms, which I trust will appeal to the House as I know it will appeal to the farming people of Canada.


George Taylor: Has the minister abandoned the chicken fattening stations he established all over the country and which proved such an utter failure.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: These fattening stations were successful in proving what good results could be obtained in the poultry industry, and the fact remains that where, before the establishment of these stations, it was a rare thing to find poultry meat in Canada properly fattened, the reverse is the rule to-day. These chicken fattening stations having accomplished their mission, it is no longer necessary to maintain them. I am well satisfied with the results of our work in that direction. I will not go further into detail with regard to the establishment of these branch stations. When 1 mention them I notice that the hon. gentleman opposite as well as hon. gentlemen on this side of the House are all very eager for the establishment of a station in their own particular neighbourhood or county. I accept that as the very highest compliment that can be paid to the experimental stations scattered throughout the country, and I will, as far as possible, try to meet the demands which are reasonable and fair and in the interest of the country at large.


Mr. CROCKET.: The Minister has mentioned a new station in Prince Edward Island and several in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Is it proposed to put any station in the province of New Brunswick? I think it is about the only province in the Dominion that has not an experimental farm.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think that is., pretty nearly true. When the system was first established a branch farm was put at Nappan, which was just at the border between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, but on the Nova Scotia side. That farm was expected to serve the purposes of the three maritime provinces. It does serve the purpose of the, eastern part of New Brunswick pretty well. The Prince Edward Island people complained that they could not reach that farm very easily and the Prince Edward Island government offered a farm near Charlottetown for us to work on a nominal lease for a number of years. We were glad to accept that offer. I hope before long to be able to investigate the possible sites for a station such as I have been describing in the more westerly part of the province of New Brunswick, inasmuch a3 I think the Nappan station serves fairly well the eastern part of the province.
I want now to say a word or two with regard to one of the branches established by Prof. Robertson at the time he ceased to be agriculturalist at the experimental farm. At that time he was appointed Dairy and Agricultural Commissioner. At first
his work was largely what it had been before, the education and stimulation of the people connected with agriculture in Canada in the direction of improvement. But he found that certain work was needed in dairying, his first special subject, and he took up that work. I will not go into details, but I am sure that hon, gentlemen opposite will be glad to hear that Prof. Robertson was much impressed with the necessity of cold storage accommodation for the transportation of our perishable food products. I am quite sure that with his knowledge, his powers of persuasion, his acquaintance with all the interests of our country, he would have been able to persuade the ministers of the Conservative party, if they had remained in power to go on and do more than they had done in connection with cold storage. He was able to persuade them to make a beginning, which was unfortunate in its details, which I will not go into now. When I came into office Prof. Robertson was one of the first to urge me to take the matter up on a larger scale and to do more than had been done. It happened that I personally had a good deal to do with dairying, being a dairy farmer, and I knew the situation, I knew what Prof. Robertson had been saying publicly and privately, for I was an intimate friend of his before I became minister, and I was only too glad to meet his views and to take active steps to give them practical effect, and the well known and much discussed cold storage policy of the department was the result. But there was one matter which had to be taken up of the most prime importance in regard to all our work, although it is not very much understood in the country, that is, the inspection of the 'handling and transportation of our agricultural food products in the course of their shipment from Canada to our great export market, Great Britain. In the old days our agricultural products of whatever character, delicate and tender like butter, or less delicate and tender like fruit and cheese and meats, or the coarser products like grain and flour, were handled in the crudest and roughest ways by the transportation companies. Complaints were universal on the part of shippers and owners of the way in which their products weTe deteriorated in quality on their way to market. It was obvious that we must take immediate steps to see what could be done, and we very soon established a system of inspection or supervision in the handling of our agricultural food products in their transportation from the producing point in Canada to the consuming point in Great Britain. This had to be done gradually. We had no authority or power over the transportation companies; we had no power over the wharfs in Great Britain where our products were landed. We could

only persuade, we could only advise, we could only use such authority as a department of the government naturally would exercise.
I cannot resist telling you an incident which occurred in the very early days to illustrate this. I went to England to meet the people who handled our products-the produce dealers of Liverpool, Manchester, London, Britsol, Glasgow and other places. -in order to gain information, to find out what they thought of our products and what complaints they had to make. Amongst other things, I found at Liverpool a condition of affairs which surprised and pained me. Frequently Canadian butter would lie on the wharf at Liverpool for days in the hot sun, and our goods would' be handled otherwise by the wharfingers in such a way as to bring a poor price in the ' English market. I may say, in justice to the Englishmen, that they were not any worse than our people in Montreal or St. John who handled our products and put them on board ship; but they were just as bad. I pointed that out to a meeting in Liverpool, where the produce dealers gave me a luncheon, and expressed the hope that they would improve their management. The Englishman does not like criticism and advice of that kind, and I was pretty severely reprimanded for having dared to say such things. I was invited to the office of a certain gentleman-I do not hesitate to give his name-Mr. Jones, who was at the head of one of the largest shipping concerns in Liverpool. We got chatting in a friendly way, and he began to criticise what I had said, saying that of course it did not apply to his business-at any rate, that they were doing the best they could, the best that it was necessary for them to do, and that of course they were going to go on just as they had begun. As I was his guest, I was of course very polite and friendly, but I could not help saying that his firm, unfortunately, was subject to the same reproach as others, and in some respects was a little worse, because the reports to me had been that this firm was very bad indeed in the way it handled our goods on their arrival at Liverpool, and that their agents at Montreal were pretty bad, too. He assured me that I was all wrong, and that at any rate, he was going to go on as before. Well, I said, Mr. Jones, there is only one alternative, and that is to tell the people of Canada what the conditions are. He said: You will not dare to do that. Oh, yes, I said, I will. It is m,y clear duty, and what is more, it is my clear duty to tell the people of Canada that your ships do not handle our goods as well as some others do. He said: You won't dare to do that; it is not the proper thing for a minister to do to discriminate. I said, excuse me, I appreciate my position and that it is mv duty to tell the people of Mr. FISHER.
Canada where they can get the best service, and to see that they have an opportunity of getting the best service. I left him and came back to Montreal, and a month or six weeks afterwards Professor Robertson and I went to a meeting of produce men in Montreal, and I told them what I had told Mr. Jones, and I told them if they wanted to have their goods handled badly, they ought to send them by Mr. Jones' line. I got next day a cable asking me if a report of what I had said was true. I replied, yes it was true, and that I was prepared to repeat it if he did not change his methods, and I found next day frond his officers in Montreal that they had received instructions to comply with the requirements of the Canadian Minister of Agriculture.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: What year was that?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That was in the year 1898, I think. It may possibly have been in 1899.


Mr. HENDERSON.: Will the minister excuse me? The year in which you found butter was lying on the dock in Liverpool for 11 days after landing, was under the regime of the hon. minister?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, quite so.


David Henderson: I thought you were reflecting on your predecessors.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not a bit. My hon. friend is so possessed with the idea that one party is not doing so well as another party, that he cannot get away from it.


David Henderson: I would just say to the minister that I learned all that from the Minister of Agriculture.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Well, I am sorry the impression I created was so contrary to my desires. I think I have given this afternoon and this morning a full appreciation of a great deal that was done in the Department of Agriculture before I had anything to do with it. I think my hon. friends opposite will do me that credit. I have not given to anything I have done myself half the praise that I have bestowed on Mr. John Carling and Prof. Saunders in connection with the establishment of the experimental farm. I have explained as far as properly as I can, and I am sure my hon. friend from Halton (Mr. Henderson) will acknowledge that I have given a sketch which is free from party bias and which has been a mere statement of facts in connection with my predecessor's as as well as of my own work. Mr. Speaker, that was the beginning of work which I think was of the greatest importance to the Canadian export trade in agricultural products. We produce first class stuff here of all kinds. We are improving in the production of it, and it is differently

handled from the way it used to be handled not by the government, because the government has nothing to do with it, but by the transportation companies, Our good stuff would not get the prices it is entitled to get in the English market, if it were not for our system of inspection. It is required not only in Canada. It is required on the ships of Canada, on the railways as well as on the docks and wharfs. It is required in the packing houses of Canada, it is a rigid system of inspection by which we do not undertake to force or coerce, but to educate, to appeal and to persuade the people to do what is right in the interests of the country. I believe that is better than coercion where it is available and effective, but I do not hesitate to say that where I find that people are not open to persuasion, I have not hesitated to ask parliament to give me the power to coerce, and when I have had that power given to me I have tried to exercise it fairly, justly and reasonably, so as to accomplish what is necessary in .the interests of the whole people of the country, and especially in the interests of Canadian farmers and agriculture. I wont go into the details of that work where butter' and cheese and fruit are shipped under inspection and by the refrigerator car service to the wharfs and ports of Canada. It is a system which supervises and looks after the conserving of goods in the ships at Montreal, Halifax and other ports. We' have officers on the docks in England to report everything that goes on there, that is detrimental to our trade. I am glad to say that after years of education, and persuasion, after the occasional exercise of coercion, we have got a vastly improved condition of affairs, and I have the testimony which has already been placed before the House on various occasions, but which I wont detain the House with now, showing that one of the most important things that 'have been done to facilitate the business of the agriculturalists of Canada and elsewhere, is the system of inspection by reason of which it is rare to find our goods arriving in the motherland in bad condition, whereas, 15 years ago, it was rare to find them arriving there in good condition. Now I will leave that. I want to say a word or two with regard to some of our dairy work. My hon. friends opposite are so touchy, that I do not want to talk of the cool curing of cheese, which they have always thought was a very bad thing, and all that, although our dairymen appreciate it, and take advantage of it. I wont undertake to say much, about the experiments in the aeration of milk which took place last year and the year before, and the result of which is going to revolutionize the cheese making industry. I wont say anything about
some experiments with regard to butter making in Canada which I hope will bring good information that will help our people in that regard. But I do want to say a word as to cow testing, as I think it is one of the most important things we have encouraged in this country, and one which I trust will lead to most important results. One of the most glaring facts in connection with the insufficient realization of the proper profits on our farms in Canada, is the small average production of the cow. Those of us who have studied this question know that in Denmark and Holland, 15 or 20 years ago, they were in about the same position in - this respect as we are to-day, but by a thorough system and co-operative work and testing the individual cows, by cutting out the bad one and keeping the good one and only breeding from the good ones, they are gradually and steadily increasing the average production and have reached the point that the cows of Denmark produce more than double per year per individual cow, than the cows of Canada. Now this is a very unfortunate, a very bad condition of affairs. We knew this a few years ago, and we have been trying to induce our farmers in Canada to make some kind of co-operative or individual test as the Danish and Dutch people have done so as to bring up the average production of our cow. It was up hill work. It requires on the part of the people, a good deal of manipulation and experiment, and we had to get information to show them what the result would be. We had to make experiments. We had to get individual herds and even go so far in some instances as to make some tests ourselves before we could lay before the farming community, the dairyman especially, information which would stir their imagination and make them adapt their methods to these facts.
We got those facts, we laid them before the people, and the people to-day have begun to digest them and to act on the advice founded on these facts. The result is that to-day we have in Canada a very large number of dairymen and farmers who are testing their cows. We have a large number of herds, the records of which are. known and published, and other people, by the success of those who have begun Gariy and have done the work carefully, are to-dav incited and induced to do the same work. It is one part of that reward one gets for somewhat discouraging and somewhat long passing through difficulty and doubt, that we often experience m brino-ino- about reforms in agricultural subjects' that during the last season the effects were so striking, the success so great where it was undertaken, that this year we have a great number of applications for cow testing associations. I am satisfied the system is on the high road to success, and

that in the near future the great mass of Canadian dairymen will be doing this work. There is no reason to believe that in .a few years the Canadians will not be able to say that the average cow production in Canada is what the Danes produce, 7,000 pounds a year for every cow in the country, instead of the Canadian average of 3,000 pounds a year. If we can do this, I think all the expenditure, all the labour, all the intelligence that has been bestowed on dairy work in Canada would be abundantly justified and rewarded.
Mr. Euddick has also had_ charge of the cold, storage service of the government. This has been increased of late years by the passing of the Cold Storage Act. We have now to look after not only the refrigerator cars and the cold storage on ships, but also the subsidies to cold storage warehouses established under the Act, which require additional work and expenditure.
We have also the fruit division of our work and the administration of the Fruit Marks Act. The transportation of fruit is largely connected with our cold storage) system; it was thought better to have it all under the one commissioner, and so we have not a special branch, although we have a special division in regard to fruit. I shall not go into the work of the department in connection with fruit growing. The Fruit Marks Act has been often explained in the House and is well understood. It was passed in response to a demand of exporters and people interested, who recognize that Canadian fruit had a bad reputation. They wanted to secure that Canadian fruit would be properly packed and shipped, and the Fruit Marks Act provides a law for that. We have to administer that law. I am sorry to say that although there is an improvement, there is not the improvement I would like to see, and we have to still occasionally prosecute, to still coerce to a certain extent where I would prefer to persuade if the people would be guided by the persuasion.'
A word in regard to some work instituted by Mr, McNeill, head of the fruit branch, which points in the right direction, that is the encouragement and establishment of fruit _ growers' or shippers' and packers', associations. One of the greatest difficulties our fruit growers in Canada have ex-, perienced is that their work is largely done by each individual, and that one individual has not enough fruit to fill large orders or, to make an impression on the market. By forming an association, a group of people in a Particular district can get together and employ one efficient and competent expert packer and grader, who will grade and nack their fruit so that in the aggregate the fruit which is thus bandied in co-opeT-ation amongst a number of people will brinv in a larver return and be better accepted and received on the market than


Sydney Arthur Fisher: fruit sent forward by the individual. This work was started in the southwestern part of Ontario by Mr. McNeill some years ago, and to-day, I am glad to know, there are a number of such associations working most satisfactorily and most successfully. It is work of the department in one sense,' because we indicate the road. It is work of the people themselves, however, and it can only _.be successfully carried on by the co-operative work of the people combining, together, mutually trusting one another, associating themselves for combined work and carrying on the whole thing as'a business transaction in a business way. I am glad they are doing it successfully as it is an important work, for the improvement of the fruit trade of Canada.
Another part of the work which Professor Robertson had in charge, but which I found it better to assign to a special division when he left, is the work of the seed division. That division is under Mr. Clark the seed commissioner and carries on several kinds of work. We passed the Seed Control Act a few years ago. That resulted from the investigations of the seed commissioner, Mr. Clark, and the work of his subdivision. Mr. Clark found the condition of the average trade in agricultural seeds in Canada to be deplorable. A large portion of our people were buying seed that did not germinate and consequently they had to buy a great deal more than they needed for proper seeding and they were also buying seeds that contained the seeds of noxious weeds. These spread weeds over the country. That is easy enough under anv circumstances. This is a large country. In some parts of the country one weed is prevalent which is not found in another part. The result of carrying these seeds from part of the country to another has contributed to the introduction of seeds not native to any one part of Canada from other parts where the seed was produced. We have also introduced into this country a large number of weeds foreign to the country. These were in many instances introduced by the seed bought by men who were enterprising, who wanted to get good seed and who went away from their own neighbourhoods to get it. They did this, however, without any opportunity of knowing what they were buying, without any facility for investigation' and without any thought or knowledge of the results. We showed to the country and the people that the average seed sold in many parts of Canada was infested with weed seeds, would not germinate and would not grow. The result was a demand for some control of this business. That I think is a proper demand and a legitimate action on the part of the parliament of Canada because

although in ordinary trade matters the old maxim 'caveat emptor' prevails, in matters of this kind the buyer cannot protect himself, he has not the knowledge, the training, the facilities, or the laboratory by which he can examine the seed he is buying and know whether or not it is what it purports to be. It is true that many old and experienced farmers can take up a handful of seed and say whether or not it is good seed, hut I venture to say there is not a farmer in Canada to-day who can take up a handful of seed and can look at it and state whether it would germinate or whether there were weed seeds in it. That can only be told by laboratory examination and testing. What I have said is no reflection on the farmers of Canada. It is impossible that men by ordinary inspection can possibly tell whether the seeds they are buying will grow or not.
I am sorry to say that in many cases in Canada they have the bad as well as the indifferent. We still continue, 'besides the administration of the Seed Control Act, to spread abroad amongst the people information in regard to weeds and in regard to seeds. Let me say a word in regard to weeds. We are still watching for new weeds, we are still warning the farmers when new weeds appear. We issued a little while ago a well known book called the Weed Book, in which vivid pictures beautifully executed and coloured are displayed of all the noxious weeds known in Canada. We spread that throughout the country for the purpose of giving the people instruction and information, so that they can recognize the weeds when they find them in their fields. It is not a very easy thing for a farmer always to know what a strange plant is that he sees for the first time in his field. If it is a weed you may be sure that the picture of it he will find in that book will show him what it is, and what its nature is. That book has been asked for from all over Canada, from one ocean to the other, by everybody interested in agriculture. My only regret is that we have not been able to distribute it as freely as I would like on account of the cost. The first edition went out, the second edition went out, and although each edition consisted of
25,000	copies, I have no doubt that in a short time we will have to publish a third edition and perhaps a fourth, because the people of this country are aroused on the question of weeds in their fields, and are determined to fight them. They all say that the book is not only a credit to the book-makers of Canada, but it is an exceedingly useful publication.
We are also administering the Seed Control Act. This is a little difficult, but we have been trying to do our best. I must
say in all sincerity that the seed merchants, and especially the wholesale seed agents, have been helping us and helping us in the enforcement of the Act. Sometimes some of them fail, sometimes we have to prosecute individuals, and sometimes bad seed is sold. But, the proportion of bad seed sold to-day is infinitesmal in comparison with what was sold before the introduction of the Seed Control Act. Now the administration of this Act takes money, and I am asking for $50,000 for the ensuing year. I venture to think that if I asked five times that amount the work that is being done would justify dt.^ But with the present sum I think we will be able to accomplish the work of instruction and properly administer this &ct.
A year ago we passed an Act in regard to commercial food stuffs. I have had a good many representations made to me, especially from the province of Ontario, saying that these food stuffs contain a good many weed seeds. I think that is partially correct. I fear there is a great deal of weed seeds distributed in the food stuffs, and we have been making investigations. I am not certain yet that we have h remedy under the Commercial Food Stuffs Act, but if we have, I think it ought to be put into force. I am told that the question is largely mixed up with provincial rights, it is one of those questions that it is hard to deal with. In the laboratory last year we tested something over 6,200 samples of seeds for the purpose of determining whether they were germin-able or contained noxious weeds. _
Now, one word in regard to a subject that will enlist a good deal of sympathy, I am sure, among many members of this House as well as throughout the country, and that is the subject of tobacco. I am not myself a user of tobacco, some of my friends do use it considerably, and I suppose most of them have heard sneering remarks about Canadian tobacco. Now, without being able to speak from personal experience, I want to say a word on behalf of Canadian tobacco. This climate and this country seem to be very suitable for the growing of a good many varieties of tobacco. In'the early days the province of Quebec was chiefly concerned in that product. The habitant raised his tobacco, cured it and used it almost entirely for home consumption. He did grow pretty good crops, for the area that he cultivated. In the province of Ontario, in the counties of Kent and Essex, considerable tobacco is grown. A few years ago there was a glut in the market for Canadian tobacco, because it was not cured sufficiently well to attract the purchaser, and the growers could not place it on the market. One reason was because of a prejudice against it, I think I may say prejudice, rather

than judgment, against Canadian tobacco. Knowing the situation and believing this was a crop which could be raised advantageously in Canada, I made some investigation, and I found there was nobody in Canada, so far as I could ascertain, who *was _ able to grow and cure tobacco according to the best scientific methods. I, therefore, took it upon myself to send to Prance, where they have a very large branch under the government doing that kind of work, and where they have a lot of scientific men studying the culture of tobacco and the best methods of treating it. I was fortunate enough to secure a very competent, skillful and well informed gentleman named Charlan, who was first sent to Canada by the Department of Agriculture of France. Mr. Charlan came out here, and before long he showed himself so thoroughly competent that I asked him to stay. After a little hesitation and some communication with his home, he resigned his position in France and became a permanent member of the Civil Service of Canada. I am glad to say that he has' quite justified his appointment. I will not go into details, but I venture to say that the prejudice which existed a few years against Canadian tobacco has practically disappeared amongst all the people that have tested it. I do not deny that there are many people still who won't use it, there are people in Canada still who say that Canadian tobacco is no good, but these people have refused to test it. I know that a good many people who talk sneeringlv of Canadian tobacco are smoking Canadian tobacco every day they smoke. As a matter of fact to-day, a very large proportion of all the cigars that are smoked in Canada are made in Canada of Canadian tobacco, and some of the highest priced cigars sold in Canada are made in Canada with Canadian tobacco in them. Perhaps the dealers and manufacturers do not like to acknowledge that, because they are still under the influence of the prejudice of consumers. But as a matter of fact, we have been able to show that we can grow tobacco and put into the hands of the manufacturers, either of plug tobacco or of cigars, tobacco that will make the finest quality of plug and the finest quality of cigars that any one needs to have.


David Henderson: What about the flavour?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am only speaking on the authority of other people, because I do not know anything about the flavour of tobacco.


David Henderson: You ought to.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not think so. With all due deference to my hon. friend, while I admire him in many ways, the fact that he uses tobacco to the extent to which he Mr. FISHER.
does, is one of the blemishes on his character which I regret.


David Henderson: That is very kind.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I say it with all kindness. But I may add that while it is a blemish on my hon. friend, it is one that we can all forgive him, and none of us will criticise him for it.


David Henderson: I do not think the hon. minister is justified in casting any reflection on members on this side of the House for what we have said on Canadian tobacco.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No. I did not mean to say that at all. I had reference to the people generally.


David Henderson: I have often spoken about Canadian tobacco. They produce a good article, they grow a fine tobacco, a tobacco that will make excellent cigars and chewing tobacco that is appreciated by the people of this country, and I am not sure that they cannot produce a good smoking tobacco. The fault I have continuously found with it was that the flavour or taste of the tobacco was not congenial to people outside of the province of Quebec, and if the government could get somebody from France or some other country who would produce a tobacco with a flavour such as that of Macdonald's tobacco of Montreal, it would add millions to the wealth of the people of this country. It was with regard to the curing that I found fault and not the growing of the tobacco.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have no doubt that the hon. gentleman has a good deal of justification for what he says. I am not prepared to dispute that. I was not giving an expert opinion as to the quality of the tobacco, but what I stated in regard to the use, the production and the change in quality of Canadian tobacco, as stated to me by the manufacturers who make it up and by users, is, I think, correct. Now, I have reached, I think, the end and I suppose my hon. friends opposite will be glad of that.


David Henderson: Not at all.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have reached the end and it has taken me longer than I intended or expected to go over the work of the department. I do not think I need detain the House longer at this stage. I hope that the intention that I started out with has become evident to all parties in the House. I did not start out with any intention of boasting, of getting any party advantage. or presenting any partisan argument. I felt, as I have felt for some years, that the importance of the Department of Agriculture was not recognized in the discussions in this House for the reason that it had never come up practically except in

committee, when interruptions, proper and right in committee, were made and when questions were put in such a way that it was not possible to make a fair or connected presentment of the work of the department. I am going to say frankly that I am proud of the work of my department, not because I am the minister of it, hut I am proud of the work of my officials, I am proud of the large interests which are entrusted to the department, I am proud of the way in which the people of Canada generally look to the department at Ottawa for advice, assistance and information in the business of agriculture. I do not say that this is the case only to-day. It was the case in the old days when my predecessors were in office. I am proud of what the department does in recognition of the business of agriculture in Canada, of which I am also proud as a farmer, and I am not speaking in the slightest degree as the minister of that department. If there is one thing more than another that I think is important to Canada, it is that the business of agriculture should acquire, assume and maintain that status which is due to it in this country from its vast importance from the financial point of view and by reason of its wide spread diffusion throughout. the great agricultural territory which Canada possesses. I do not want to be little or interfere -with railway or canal work or with this, that or the other industry in the country, but I do venture to say, as a representative of the farmers and as a farmer, that agriculture as a science, agriculture as an art and as a business, has attained and holds before the people of Canada a proud, a recognized position and that this is due to the fact that the farmers have given up the old rule of thumb work, the old drudgery which was performed in the early days of the settlement of the new country, necessarily and perforce, and are to-day exercising a skill, a knowledge, a science, in the best sense of the word, in regard to this business which enables them to hold a proud position in comparison with every ether class in the community. This being the case, I say again that I am proud of the work of the Department of Agriculture, which I think has contributed to the utmost extent that it could do to that position and success. If it has attained to that position to-day it has done so almost entirely and certainly largely through the efforts of the men who have been in charge of the different branches of the department's work, men who have been unsparing in their toil and energy, sparing themselves not at all in their work, who are enthusiastic, who have been specially trained and educated, who have been chosen with a sole view to those special characteristics which they possess and which fit them for the positions which they occupy.
These men, I say are entitled to the credit, the rewards which they are given in a minor degree, perhaps, and to the position which they hold in the estimation of the people of the country, because I am proud to say that the farmers now generally look to the officers of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa for their guidance in all things relating to agriculture.


Mr. THOBURN.: I want to ask the minister a question. I had a good many applications from farmers throughout my riding with reference to samples of seed. In many cases they ask for a sample of seed grain and a sample of seed potatoes. The rule governing, I believe at the experimental farm, is that they can only receive ona sample, either of potatoes or seed grain. Would it be possible to change that rule so that a farmer could get one sample of seed grain and one sample of seed potatoes? For instance, a farmer this season wants a sample of seed grain and a sample of seed potatoes, and in the event of his getting only a sample of seed grain he has to wait until next year before he will know the result of the sample of seed potatoes. It would save a great deal of time and he would profit very much sooner if it were possible to allow him to have one sample of each.	1


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is a rule which can be easily changed. It would be too late to change it for this season, because the distribution is practically over. We have a great many applications for these seed samples, and we try to make them go as far as possible, but if we send a great many* to one individual, we would only have to rob somebody else.

Mr.  J. E.@: ARMSTRONG (East Lambton)! Mr. Speaker, we have just listened to some three hours talk from the hon. Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Fisher), and we cannot come to any other conclusion than that he has delivered a distinctly partisan speech and, with that lack of courage that you would not expect on the part of a minister* of the Crown, he sought to hide himself behind the Speaker and demand that questions should not be asked without his per-; mission. It seems to me that he has, taken the position, either of a Czar or of a suffragette-I have not decided fully which. He might as well have placed his speech on 'Hansard.' and he would have saved three hours of the time of the House, because he has simply devoted himself to telling us about the splendid work he has done in his department. No one knows better than the minister himself that he has been forced practically into almost every advancement he has mentioned by members on this side of the House. Talk about a partisan speech! He tried to show from beginning to end of his speech to-day

that since he took control of the affairs of the Department of Agriculture, between twelve and fourteen years ago, the department has been conducted more successfully than it was previous to 1896.
The minister has told us of the increased acreage held for agricultural purposes, but against his boasting we have the fact that the Minister of Agriculture for the province of Ontario has declared that the population of the rural districts of that province has decreased 61,000 in the last 10 years, and in the other older provinces similar -conditions prevail. The hon. gentleman also told us that he has done his (best to have the cattle embargo removed, but -the official correspondence before us shows that up to a few years ago he never raised a finger in that respect. He knows that before his party came to power its leaders told the people of Canada that if they were elected to office the embargo would he removed, but today the embargo is in the same position as it was years and years ago. Then, this Liberal government declared that when Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman became Liberal Prime Minister in England they would get the cattle embargo removed, but Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and his government have passed away and other Liberal governments have succeeded in England, and the embargo is still a fact. Some years ago, on my motion, the Agricultural Committee passed a resolution to the effect that the Dominion Minister of Agriculture together with the Ministers of Agriculture of the^ various provinces should go before the imperial authorities and submit to them the contention of Canada and urge for the removal of the embargo. That resolution of the committee was adopted unanimously by the House, but the Minister of Agriculture has taken it upon himself to flatly disobey -that mandate of parliament. What can you expect from a minister who would act in such a way? The hon. gentleman has told us a lot about what he says he has done for the cold storage system, but he knows full well that for the seven sessions I have been here and for years before, the member for Wentworth (Mr. Smith) and others of this side have been trying to drum into his head the importance of perfecting our cold storage system and applying it to our transportation routes. The suggestions coming from this side of the House the minister has adopted to some extent, and to-day he tries to make the House believe that he was the originator of all that has been done to improve o-ur cold storage. He has expended $600,000 or $800,000 on cold storage, but even to-dav he cannot control the temperature which Canadian products are subjected to on the trains and


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: steamers crossing the ocean. He told us that he went to England and that the people looked upon him as the great Minister of Agriculture, and he gave us to understand that he had brought them to their knees in connection with the question of providing protection for our goods once they have landed at the ports in England. I have here some remarks which I made on June 27, 1905, in this House, and I find I quoted from the report of the Department of Agriculture for that year the following:
The bulk of the butter discharged from the steamer is removed within a reasonable time, but the balance is allowed to remain for days before delivery is taken.
He knows that our products have been allowed to remain on the wharfs in England exposed to every deleterious influence, but to-day he tries to make us believe that he has taken measures to remedy that defect. It is time we should set the hon. gentleman right. Any one who studies the subject cannot but come to the conclusion that instead of our having at the present time a broad system of cold storage that would bring the products of western agriculture to the consuming centres of England in proper condition, the antiquated sissy system which the minister has in force bears no comparison to the modern and up to date system which the Argentine republic, and New Zealand, and Australia have perfected. Let the minister himself consider this, iand he must conclude that our defective system of cold storage is quite a serious loss to the producers of Canada. Then, as to transportation facilities, the minister knows full well that I have already called his attention to the fact that in 1907 freight was carried from Liverpool to New York for 7 shillings and 6 pence per ton, from Liverpool to Halifax it costs 15 shillings per ton. The hon. gentleman knows that I have frequently called his attention -to the discrimination against the Dominion and in favour of the United States in the matter of freight rates on our produce. The minister must know that the farmers of Canada are paying practically $1,000,000 per annum -for the privilege of sending their goods through the por-t of Montreal. What has he done to investigate this question and to relieve the situation? Unless we can have our products carried to the markets of the world in the best possible condition and at the lowest possible rate, we cannot expect to have the best possible returns for the farmers of this country. What has the minister done in regard to. opening up markets? The great boast and -cry of the men leading the Liberal party previous to 1896 was:	Place us
in power, and we will open up the mark-

ets of the world to the 'Canadian farmer; we will obtain for you the great- market of 80,000,000 people to the south. Let them point to one market that they have opened up. They cannot do it, and they know it. Until a few months ago they had closed to Canada the second best market in the world, and who helped to close that market? The Minister -of Agriculture boasted of his position in that respect. Let me call attention to a statement which he made on the 21st of March, 1906, in reply to an address which was delivered by a prominent apple shipper of the city of Toronto. He said:
There is reason to believe that the Germans will in a short time seek to open negotiations, but in the meantime I -think 'we can get along without them.
Yet the Minister of Agriculture is the man who above all others should be interested in opening up the markets of the world for the Canadian farmers. Where did we find the Minister of Agriculture in regard to the treaty with France? Was he looking after the best interests of the farmers of Canada when he allowed the only item in that treaty which would have been of advantage to them to be taken away? Instead of protesting against that being removed from the schedule, he helped to vote it through. He talked about crop bulletins. Long before he thought of issuing crop bulletins, we on this side of the House urged that policy upon him. We also urged him to let the people of Canada know what amount of money they would receive from the sale of their products in the markets of the world. He does not give the farmers of Canada any definite information as to the prices of agricultural products in the different markets of the world, because he does not want to interfere with the exporters at the port of Montreal, or the other ports. About $60,000,000 worth of perishable products are going out of this country every year; but unless we revolutionize the system of transportation and cold storage for the carriage of these goods to the markets of the world, the minister knows that our farmers will continue to lose millions of dollars every year for the lack of proper transportation facilities; and yet he will not go to work, and put into force some progressive system for carrying these goods in proper condition to the markets of the world. He talked about experimental^ arms, and was good enough to say that they were started by the Conservative party previous to 1896. He says he is going to change his ways and give the people throughout the country smaller experimental farms, and a greater number of them. The members of this House have for six or eight years coaxed and begged the minister to establish more experimental farms
in different parts of the country, and at last it has dawned upon him to do so. He boasts of having improved the tobacco industry of this country. Who urged this upon him during every session of the last parliament? Time and again Mr. Clements, the former member for West Kent, brought to his attention the condition of the tobacco industry in the southwestern part of the province of Ontario. When we jind the minister rising and taking to himself credit for all these things, we cannot help feeling that he is deserving of the severest censure for not being alive and progressive in these different matters. He tells us that the swine industry is declining. He knows that it has been declining year after year, and he has never apparently, until the last year, realized the condition that industry was in; and when he does realize it, he sends a few men across the Atlantic to investigate the swine industry in Denmark and Ireland. One would naturally suppose that they would first investigate the condition of the swine industry in their own country, and when you ask the minister why they did not, he tells us that they knew enough about it without investigating it. So the swine industry, which was formerly one of the boasted industries of this country, has been declining until to-day we hardly export any products of that industry-an industry which, in the older sections of this country, can be and -ought to be developed, and there is no doubt that it would be if we had men of proper energy in charge of the Department of Agriculture. The minister tells us that the sheep industry is also declining. How many of the industries connected with this great department which the minister controls are declining year after year, when they should all be advancing with the progress of this great country of ours? He says Canada is a good country for sheep to be raised in. There is no question about that. But he says that the decline of the sheep industry may be due to the cruel dogs in this country. With regard to meat inspection, he knows the debate that took place a few days ago in this House, which went to show that the meat which goes to foreign countries is inspected, while our own people in their homes can eat whatever trash they like, and apparently the Minister of Agriculture does not care-he is not going to bring about a better condition of affairs in that regard. When our people realize that the choicest meats of our country go to foreigners and that there is no inspection of the most of the meats used for home consumption, they will resent the position taken by the Minister of Agriculture. A few years ago he told us about chicken fattening stations.
He has been spending tens of thousands


Some hon. MEMBERS: Hear, hear.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: That is the position taken by the Minister of Agriculture who knows full well that if we had mutual preference with Great Britain it would increase the value of every farm in Canada, and of every product of the farms of the Dominion of Canada, and that it would bring to the shores of the Dominion immigrants by the tens of thousands, men who are interested in agriculture, men who are ready to come and develop this country for the general benefit of the empire. But the minister takes the position on that question that he knows that the farmers of the Dominion of Canada do not want mutual preference. Then what about the navy? He is prepared to spend money on a navy which a large portion of the farmers of Canada do not want, an independent navy. I might call his attention to this fact that to obtain that independent navy he will have to spend ten or twenty times as much each year as he is spending on the agriculture of this country. I only call attention to these things to show the many blunders and mistakes he has been making. Then what about the government weigher at the port of Montreal? Three million packages of perishable products go out of the port of Montreal every year. One of his own commissioners went_ to Montreal and investigated this question and definitely stated that the people were being robbed in the position they are placed in at the present time. Did he move the minister? No, Sir. He is still clinging to this condition. Take his position on rural mail deliveries, something

that should be an advantage to the farmers of Canada. On that question he comes out boldly and frankly, says it is not in the best interests of the farmers of Canada, and that he is not willing to grant it. What kind of Minister of Agriculture is that to have in a Dominion when on an important question, which is of (practical benefit to the farmers of Canada, he rises in his seat and takes that position. He tells us that the cows of Denmark produce double what they do in Canada. Yet this man has been at the head of agriculture in this country for the last fourteen years, and what has he done? He tells us of little cow testing experiments which are going to be of great benefit. We have been hearing of these little toy propositions going to be of great benefit to the farmers of Canada for many years. But instead of taking hold of this industry in a proper, manly way, he brings forward these little suggestions. Now, Mr. Speaker, I do not want to take up any more of the time of the House. It is late in the session for the Minister of Agriculture to bring down the statement that he has made to-day. Might I say that it ill becomes a minister of the Crown to the position he did this morning. It ill becomes him because he can depend upon it that if a minister of the Crown can come here year after year and, hiding behind the Speaker, give out figures which would be distributed in the hundreds of thousands all over this country without any contradiction, we are not going to have aggressive legislation in the Department of Agriculture.
Transportation facilities have improved, but instead of the minister raising his hand or doing anything worthy of the position he occupies or anything worthy of consideration, he has taken the position he has to-day, he simply tells the people he is getting along nicely, and has been developing this wonderful agricultural interest of our country through the steps he has taken. I sincerely hope that the minister another year will bring down his estimates early in the session. Year after year it is the same story, bringing down his estimates in the last days of the session, generally on a Friday when there are few in the House and generally in the evening when he knows there will not be many members present to discuss these estimates. Agriculture is a great and important industry in Canada. What would your other industries, your railways, your manufactures, or any other industry be were it not for the agricultural interests? They would amount to nothing and instead of that great industry being debated and discussed, we find the minister coming in the last hours of the session and making a three hours' speech which is a partisan speech. The minister cannot deny 230
that he has made that speech in order to send it out to the people of Canada to show the great development of this great industry under his worthy suffragette or Czar.


Mr. M. BURRELL (Yale-Cariboo).: The minister, after he had been speaking this afternoon for about an hour and a half remarked that he wished to direct the attention of his hearers, and to attract also their thought. I would only say that if the minister seriously wished to attain that object he exhibited the moat singular way of going about it I have ever witnessed in this House by the elaborate campaign speech which he introduced as the result <Jf a question by a member from this side of the House, He remarked that members on this side were touchy. I do not know that there is any gentleman more touchy than the minister himself. He remarked that we were always fighting him although we were afraid to carry our fight to the logical end of voting against his estimates as he knew we were afraid to carry our measures that far. He added that where he did not find us fighting against him and obstructing his efforts in this House as Minister of Agriculture, he found a veiled opposition from this side. In fact he assumed altogether the air of a martyr, although he did return thanks to the gods that the country, and this House had always stood by him. I would like to refer to this extraordinary statement of the minister, because I object very strongly to the tone of these remarks, which I think must have resulted from an exceptional thinness of the minister's cuticle, and probably from a lack of the sense of proportion. I object to their tone, and to their substance. Last session we had a discussion in this House upon horticultural matters, and the subject was introduced by myself, and spoken to rather extensively by various members including the minister. Let me quote the passage in which I closed my speech:-
I sincerely trust that the minister will accede to these very moderate requests. They are made not in any political or party spirit but with the sole desire to build uf>
what I believe can now be truly designated a national industry.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I appreciate the spirit which has inspired the remarks of the two hon. gentlemen who have addressed the House. I recognize their criticisms as a perfectly fair and friendly effort to secure an advantage to the very important fruit trade of this country.
Why does the minister not remember this sort of thing a little longer? I think it would be better for him, and better for the progress of his estimates if he would take a somewhat fairer line. It would be foolish on our part to say that no good had ever come from the Department of Agri-

culture. We could not take that foolish position, we recognize the good work that has been done, we recognize the very excellent work that has been performed by many officials, and very first-class officials of the Agriculture Department. We also recognize the good work done in the various provinces by provincial officials, and otherwise by the people of the country at large. The agricultural industry has achieved great progress, and if the minister, and his department have contributed to that progress in any way, they will get the just amount of praise that is due them. And he should remember that a certain amount of praise is due to those on this side of the House who have supported the minister's hands in putting on the statute-book measures for the advantage of that industry. I sometimes think that in this country we are getting too much of the spirit of brag and boasting in what we do, and I fear sometimes the minister has fallen victim to this spirit, and occasionally in giving three blasts of the trumpet irr praise of Canadian agriculture he does not forget to give an extra three for the minister. It might almost be concluded, I think, that the" demerits of the Department of Agriculture must be very grave if they demand a three hours speech to introduce the estimates. I have noticed about a baker's dozen of supporters of the hon. gentleman on the other side of the House, and a good sprinkling on this side, members going in and out, and I could almost fancy the minister might have included in his speech the quotation from the poem:
Men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
The government is very prone to accuse members on this side of delaying the work of the session, but I think it will strike many that we have had the most singular instance this afternoon of delaying the work of the session at a very late period. Even in defending himself from imaginary attacks the minister has indulged in a most extraordinary redundance of phraseology, and wealth of detail which I fear is characteristic of his remarks, and which have done much to delay the work of the session. He has given us, save the mark, a ' sketch,' and I may say with all respect to what he may have said to Jones in Liverpool, or to what Jones may have said to him that it would have been better at this stage of the session in the Agricultural Committee or somewhere other than the House, where there would have been no difficulty in getting the minister's remarks printed so as to reach the country. That would have avoided this three hours' speech, and would not have encouraged the debate which must be a necessary consequence of the assertions made during his Mr. BURRELL.
speech. I do not want to be a sinner myself in delaying the work, but it would have been better for the minister to have dispensed with his three hours' talk and to have gone on with the estimates, and to have risen as soon as possible.


William Henry Sharpe: Mr. Speaker, I am sure the only member in this House who was thoroughly entertained by the campaign speech delivered by* the minister was himself. He even refused' at the beginning of his address to allow1 us to ask him a question. This is putting' on the thumb-screws even tighter than the Prime Minister would do. We all admit that this minister has charge of the most' important department in the whole government. We may talk about our mines or our forest departments, and we are all proud of them, but we must admit that the Agricultural Department is the most important in Canada. The land will keep on producing, and will furnish employment and give support to many millions of people in this country long after our forests and mines are exhausted. Therefore, I say that agriculture in Canada is the most important industry we have. Notwithstanding all that the hon. minister has been pleased to tell us this, afternoon about *what he has done for the people of Canada, when we come to investigate the other departments and come back again and look at what the Department of Agriculture is doing, we are compelled to. admit that the Department of Agriculture is the most undeveloped department in the whole government. Take the esimates of 1909-10, when we look at the heading we find in staring figures $1,114,000 for that department. But when we go through the1 estimates and sift out what is really spentj in the interest of agriculture, we find that1 those figures dwindle down to $657,000. I know that the minister figures in another item which brings it up a good deal higher, and that item is the health of animals. Now, Sir, knowing something about how this money is being spent on the health of animals throughout western Canada, I claim it is not being spent in the interest of the farmers. Take the estimates for last year. Last year the government were retrenching, they found there was not enough money to go round, and they had to retrench. We find the other great departments cut down about ten per cent, but when we come to the Agriculture Department, we find it cut down from twenty to thirty per cent. This leads us to one of two conclusions, either that the government considers this the most unimportant_ department. or that the Minister of Agriculture is the weakest minister in the cabinet and cannot get what is needed for the great producing classes of this country. I claim that if the governments, whether Dominion or provincial, have any function

at all that function essentially is to stand between the producer and the consumer, and to see that there is no undue toll taken from either. I would ask the minister when he has ever stood, up in his place in parliament for either the producers or the consumers against the grafters. He has never done so during the two years I have had the honour of a seat in this House. Still, we find combines starting up everywhere, beef combines, pork combines, cement combines, and every other kind of combine, from one end of Canada to the other, which are taking undue tolls from the people, yet the minister has never' raised one hand or one finger to protect them. I consider that the conditions in regard to his department are in a deplor-, able state. Would you believe it, Mr. Speaker, the exportation of everything raised or grown on the farm, except wheat, is going down year by year? I claim that this condition in that respect is not only regrettable but deplorable. Let me give you a few figures of our exportations to prove what I am saying:
1903.	1909
Hauls and bacon.. .. $15,906,334 $ 8,835,444 Decline of $6,710,000.

These are eight of the most important products of the farm, and I tell you, Mr. Speaker, that unless these eight branches of farm production are kept up, the produc-v tion of wheat cannot possibly last in this, country. In the United States, some years ago, the average production of wheat was about twenty bushels to the .acre; to-day the average production of wheat in that country has fallen to twelve or thirteen bushels per acre. Our average in western Canada is about twenty bushels per acre at the present time, but if we do not keep these eight branches in a flourishing com dition, the production of wheat in western Canada will very shortly be down to twelve or thirteen bushels per acre. Therefore, I say that these important branches of agriculture must go hand in hand with the production of wheat, j^ast year we had Professor Robertson before the Agricultural Committee, and he told us that the farmers of Quebec, on account of their poor methods of farming, were losing about $100,000,000 a year.
If the province of Quebec lost a revenue of $100,000,000 because the farmers do not farm the land in a proper manner, what does 2.304
it mean for the whole of the other provinces of this country? If that statement is true in connection with Quebec, then the whole Dominion of Canada lost a revenue equal to $400,000,000 or $500,000,000. The minister says that the reason our farmers are not more successful is because of their slipshod methods and of their lack of interest in their work. I want to tell the minister that is not the facts. I am speaking particularly in connection with western Canada, because I am more in touch with conditions there than in eastern Canada. When, some years ago, the government and the Canadian Pacific railway joined hands and sent a train through western Canada to give demonstrations to our farmers I remember quite well the day that that train reached the town that I lived in. It was in the dead of winter, there was a blizzard, it was cold and stormy, but I know of lots .of farmers throughout my constituency who drove 12, and 20 miles to be there to get the information that these men had brought for their enlightenment. Farmers, throughout western Canada particularly, are hungry for information. They want to have demonstrated to them how they should do things and they would be only too glad to follow up the instructions that were given to them. I spoke a little while ago in connection with the exportation of products of this country falling off year after year. I have spoken to several in connection with it and the argument that I have received from each one was that it was because of the great internal expansion throughout this country. When I first heard that argument I thought perhaps there was a good deal to it, but when I looked into the records of other countries that were expanding and going ahead practically on a par with Canada, I found the condition altogether different. Instead of the productions of the Argentine republic, New Zealand and Australia going down from year to year as ours are, they are going up. They are exporting more of their farm products than ever each year. The Argentine republic is expanding just as fast as we are if not a good deal faster. In 1865, 11,667 immigrants arrived on their shores and in 1895, 125,205; and in 1907, 329,122. So you can see that they are getting just as many immigrants, if not more, than we are in Canada. They exported, in 1887, 13,185,000 bushels of wheat; and in 1907 they exported 86,360,000 bushels. Their exportation of wheat is practically on a par with ours. We find that in 1900 they exported wool to the extent of 101,113 tons. That shows that they have gone into sheep breeding, and in 1907, the exportation of wool had increased to 154,818 tons. Instead of their being the same as we are in Canada, instead of the exportation of

sheep and wool going down, year after year, the exportation of sheep and wool from the Argentine republic is going up year after year. I wish to speak particularly in connection with the cattle trade of the Argentine republic. We find that they have two systems of shipping their cattle. They ship some on the hoof, and some in a frozen state. In 1900 they exported 66,496 head of cattle; in 1903, 249,000; and in 1906, 509,112. That shows, in my opinion, that they must have some persons in the Argentine republic who are looking after the interests of the great producing population of that country. In Australia, our sister colony, they are expanding too. They are developing their country according to population as fast as we are. They exported beef in 1906, 294,392 quarters ; in 1907,	308,114 ; and
in 1909, 390,626; showing a gradual increase all the time while our exportation is going irf the opposite direction. I claim that the interest of this present government is particularly favourable to the manufacturers. I have shown how the exportation of farm products is going down from year to year, but when we look at the exportation of the manufactured article we find it going up from year to year. In 1900, $14,222,000 worth of manufactured goods were exported from Canada; in 1905, $21,191,000, and in 1909, $28,957,000, showing a gradual increase all the time. If the great expansion of our country was eating up the extra products of the farm, why should not this great expansion also eat up and take the surplus manufactured goods that we are producing in this country? I claim that this ig a very serious state of affairs.
The minister took three and a half hours to tell us what a great department he had, but he forgot to tell us why the exportation of these products has been decreasing year after year. Well, Sir, I claim the reason is that the minister is not looking after the interests of his department. The hon. gentleman tells us what he is doing for Canada, but when we compare what Canada is doing with what other countries are doing it is absolutely laughable to hear him boasting. France spends $9,200,000 each year in the interest of agriculture; Austria, $9,270,000; Hungary, $9,400,000; the United States, $10,000,000; Russia, $25,280,000; Japan, $3,750,000, and all poor Canada can afford to expend on her agriculture is a paltry $657,000 a year. France has 71 experimental farms, Germany has 80, Austria has 61, the United States 60, Russia has 101, and Canada has 6 or 7. Why, Sir, I hold that in an agricultural country like this the Agriculture Department should be one of the greatest spending departments of the government in its efforts to promote the welfare of the agriculturalists of the country and to extend Hr. W. H. SHARPE.
our trade. Now, I ask the Minister of Agriculture to give me his special attention while I refer to the question _ of experimental farms. Let me remind him that there is only one experimental farm in the whole province of Manitoba, and that is situated at Brandon, so that in order that the farmers of that province may obtain the object lessons in scientific farming which the minister has referred to, they have to travel long distances to Brandon and to lose a great deal of their valuable time. It may be said that to the majority of the farmers of Manitoba the experimental farm at Brandon is useless. I trust the minister will see_ his way to establish other such farms in Manitoba without delay. I think there shpuld be a model farm in each farming constituency in Canada. Let me for a moment direct the attention of the minister to the combines existing in western Canada. In the little town of Mowbray, in 1908, the elevators handled over 300,000 bushels of wheat, but last spring a spur railway was built across the line into north Dakota, and an elevator erected there, with the result that last year instead of handling
300,000	bushels on the Canadian side there were only 100,000 bushels handled, while the United States elevator handled 300,000 bushels. Our farmers took their grain across the line and shipped it in bond back into Canada to the lake ports, and by pursuing this course they received from 13 to 14 cents a bushel more for their grain than if they had dealt in Canada. Let me tell the Minister of Agriculture also that whereas in the province of Manitoba along the boundary line the land is worth only $20 or $25 and in some cases $30 an acre; right across on the American side on account of the better treatment which is accorded the farmers in north Dakota, the land is worth from $40 to $50 an acre. Then, with regard to the beef industry, I might remind the minister that he has been asked many times to investigate the beef industry of the United States, Australia and the Argentine republic, but he has always refused or neglected to do so. I represent a mixed farming community, and last year we shipped 512 cars of cattle to the city of Winnipeg. I know numbers of farmers in my constituency who always in the past have kept from 50 to 75 and 100 head of cattle, but these men are selling out their herds and going out of business because the combines are robbing them of-every dollar they should make. It goes without saying that the farmers must keep stock in order to keep up the standard of their land, and if the cattle industry declines so much the worse for general farming. There were 110,000 head of cattle shipped to the city of Winnipeg last year, and all the farmers could get from the beef combine in that city was an average of

$3.76 per hundred weight, while at the same time the average price of similar cattle in Chicago was $6.27 per 100 pounds. There must be something wrong with the cattle trade when such a condition exists. In 1907, the Roblin government appointed a commission to look into the conditions of the beef trade in Manitoba, and they found that on each beast a farmer raised in that country he lost $5.80, that the retail dealers made an average profit of $13.60, and the abattoir men-in other words, the great beef combine of Winnipeg-made $23.10 per head. The public abattoir in Montreal charges $1 for killing, so that we may infer there was a clear profit of $22 per head to the abattoir owners, or the beef combine in Manitoba. With 110,000 head of cattle going in, the meat combine in Winnipeg took out of the producers between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 more than they should have done. Is it any wonder that the producers are quitting? ' The combine is simply driving them out of business. The drovers from north Dakota come across to Manitoba and buy cattle and drive them across the line and pay the duty, which I think is 25 per cent. Alberta is the finest country in the world for producing beef and pork, but the combine is driving the producer out of Alberta. Mr. Paddy Bums, the beef king of Alberta, says that in five years Alberta will be importing beef and pork, because the producers there will not be raising enough to supply the demand. I would like to read to you what the Edmonton 'News' of February 19, 1910 says:
One of the most important matters before the. people of Alberta is that of chilled meat, it is absolutely essential to the prosperity of tne province, both in town and country, that the value of our flocks and herds should not only be maintained but increased, and there never was a more opportune time than now to strengthen the hands of the farmer and stock-raiser m the production of beef and mutton.
It is roughly computed that the average price of first-class beef for the last three years has been from 3 to 31 cents on foot, hardly a paying proposition to the stock-raiser. The figure average would not be at all likely to go over 3i cents per pound. This is a most unsatisfactory state of affairs when we consider our many and great natural advantages.
What seems to be mostly required is a stable and steady market for live stock the year round. This can only be obtained by cold storage and chilled meat exportation. By this latter method not only would the grower obtain a far better price for his beef cattle, but the markets would be steady and such as he_ could depend upon. It would be a fairly safe estimate to make, that good, well-fed cattle could be sustained in price at 5 cents per pound, and would seldom if ever go below that mark. The difference between selling a good 3-year-old steer of, say 1,200 pounds weight, between 3 cents and 5 cents per pound is $36 in one case, $60 in the other, a difference of $24.
Counting the cost of rearing, attention and feed, three-year-old steers, sold at 3 cents per pound, represent in most cases a deficit, while if the same animals are sold at 4J, even, or 5 cents per pound and over, they represent a healthy state of trade and are a source of profit to their owner who is encouraged to go on and bring others into the business.
This extra money earned would not only benefit the producer, but would also be found circulating in all branches of trade and would be a benefit to the whole community.
This is the condition in Alberta, and the same conditions prevail in Saskatchewan, and I am told that they are almost as bad in eastern Canada. Now, the Roblin government have offered $50,000 towards the establishment of a public abattoir in the city of Winnipeg, and while this is in the right direction, I claim that it does not go far enough. What we want in Manitoba is something to relieve the condition for the whole province, and not merely for the city of Winnipeg. While we recognize the importance of the city of Winnipeg, it is not of very much importance when it comes to the producing of beef. Therefore, what we want is something broader, something that will relieve the situation throughout the whole province of Manitoba. The government of Alberta are also talking of going into the abattoir business, and there is no doubt that in course of time the province of Saskatchewan will have to follow in the same direction, because, as I have said, it will be impossible to keep up the productiveness of the farms of western Canada if we do not keep stock on the land. I think each province should own and control the abattoirs of that province, and I think the Dominion government should put on a cold storage system throughout the whole Dominion. All the governments should work in conjunction, so that we could have our products shipped to the British market in a chilled state. In this respect we in Canada are in a very favourable position. While Australia and New Zealand, owing to their distance from the British market, must freeze their products in order to get them to that market, we on account of our nearness to the British market, can ship our products in a chilled state. In that way the chilled products of Canada will bring practically as much on the British market as the newly-slaughtered products over there, while the frozen goods of these other countries will bring a much smaller price. Therefore, we have a very great advantage over them. The hon. minister spoke of the appointment of a commission t<f go to Europe to look intojthe conditions of the hog industry there. They went to England, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, and Holland to study the conditions in those countries. I have looked through the report of this commission, and I [DOT] have also visited the
v

Experimental Farm at Ottawa; and I may-say that if there is one department of the Experimental Farm which the hon. minister deserves credit for, it is the hog department, because it is in splendid shape, and he has got there some of as fine animals as I have ever seen. So I do not think it is the conditions in these foreign countries that we need to look into. The conditions in those countries could not be on a par with ours, and anyway my idea of this question is that what we want to know of across the water is the price and the conditions of handling, what we want to look into are the conditions under which these other countries get their products to the British market. I think that if he had gone to work and -sent that commission to the United States, the Argentine Republic and Australia, to look into the conditions under which these countries send their products into the British market, then I say he would have been doing a splendid thing for the producing population of this country. But instead of that, he goes to work and puts the cart before the horse, and sends the commission over to Europe to look into the conditions there, instead of to the countries on this side of the water and looked into their cold storage systems.
At six o'clock, House took recess.
After Recess,
House resumed at eight o'clock.



[Stage Direction]
Mr. PARDEE moved the third reading of Bill (No. 115) to incorporate the St. Lawrence Power Transmission Company, Limited.
Mr. S. SHARPE.: An amendment agreed to in committee to clause 6, subsection 2, line 21, the addition of the words 'transmitted ox' before the word 'produced' has not been incorporated in the reprint.


Mr. PARDEE.: I have no objection to those words being inserted.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: I have given notice of an amendment on the third reading which I think is obviously in the interest of the country. That amendment reads:
Nothing in this Act contained shall he construed to revive any powers of the St. Lawrence Power Company, being chapter III., 1 Edward VII., which may have become null and void by reason of the said company not complying with the provisions of the said Act of incorporation.
As every one knows the St. Lawrence Power Company was incorporated by a Mr. W. H. SHARPE.
special Act of 1901 which conferred certain powers on the company in connection with making dams, &c., along 57 miles of the St. Lawrence river. That included our water-powers and section 13 of the St. Lawrence Power Company's private Act defines the time after which the company will forfeit its right unless it goes on with its works, that- is three vears from the passage of the Act. As a matter of fact the St. Lawrence Power Company, incorporated under the Act of 1901 has not constructed any works whatever. Section 14 of the present Bill provides:
Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to constitute an1 approval by parliament of ainfy, future development of water-power by erecting a dam in or across the St. Lawrence river under the chapter 111 of the statutes of 1901, intituled ' An Act to incorporate the St. Lawrence Power Company,' or otherwise; nor shall the company hereby incorporated be authorized to transmit power generated by the St. Lawrence Power Company other than the power generated by and in connection with the works already constructed by the said St. Lawrence Power Company.
That is making an affirmation that the company constructed certain works which as a matter of fact they did not. This idea is amplified in section 13 by the use of the word 'further'.
The Governor in Council shall not give his approval to the construction of any further canals, &e. ... by the St. Lawrence Power Company.
They have not constructed any works and consequently the word 'further' is a misnomer. The whole list of amendments incorporated in the present Bill are admittedly irregular to say the least. I do not think that in the memory of the oldest parliamentarian that it was ever known that rights of certain promoters under a previous Act have been cut down or curtailed in a subsequent private Bill. Even admitting that these amendments are regular, this parliament does not want to do anything that will revive rights that have lapsed. The amendment cannot possibly do any harm, and I do not think the gentleman in charge of the Bill desires to ratify any rights if the company have lost them by not constructing their works.


Mr. PUGSLEY.: How by any possibility could anything in this Bill revive the powers, of that company, or empower it to proceed with the construction of any works, when by another clause in the Bill it is especially provided, that the company shall not be allowed to construct any works of any kind in the river without first getting the consent of parliament?


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: Where does it say that?


William Pugsley: In the amendment which was moved by the leader of the opposition, and accepted by gentlemen on both sides of the House.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: That refers merely to the damming of the St. Lawrence. If the intention of parliament is not to revive their powers, there would be no harm in this amendment.


William Pugsley: What is the use of making ourselves a laughing stock by putting in amendments that are not necessary?


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: The amendment proposed by the hon. member for West Lamb-ton (Mr. Pardee) makes a misstatement, it says ' works already constructed by the said St. Lawrence Power Company,' when as a matter of fact they have not constructed any works. My information is that they have not constructed any works at all, that they are operating works that have been handed over to them by the government.


Mr. R. SMITH.: The hon. gentleman's information is entirely wrong, he is starting out on a wrong assumption.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: My information comes from a gentleman who is familiar with the whole territory, who lives along the St. Lawrence river, and he tells me they have not constructed any new works. All they have done is to operate works that have been constructed by the government, and if this company of 1901 have consturct-ed any new works, there is no harm in the amendment.


Robert Smith: I can only repeat that whoever gave the hon. gentleman the in-fomation told him something that he did not know anything about, because the company have constructed works and have developed power. That power that is being used to operate the Cornwall canal is pro" duced near Mille ROches, and is being distributed in the town of Cornwall. The company built a raceway from the basin that was developed from the Sheik's Island dam, through Sheik's Island, constructed an electric power house, put in water wheels, and developed I think some
5,000	horse-power, which is being used at the present time to the full extent.


George Taylor: That is the old company.


Robert Smith: Not the old company.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: If the hon. gentleman's statement is correct, and I assume it is, the company have not forfeited their rights, they are still in existence and still capable of proceeding under their Act of 1901, and for that reason there would be no harm in the present amendment.


William Pugsley: But there is a clause which prohibits them from going on.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: Only in so far as the dam is concerned. Any plans adopted for the damming- of the St. Law-renee must be submitted to parliament.


Robert Smith: There may be some technical misunderstanding between the hon. gentleman and myself. The original right to develop that power was given I think to Mr. M. P. Davis, and Mr. Davis transferred his rights to this company. Perhaps that is the distinction between the hon. gentleman and myself.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: Then was it the company or was it Mr. Davis who did the construction work?


Robert Smith: I am not quite certain as to the exact date.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: The hon. gentleman should not get up and contradict my statement unless he has accurately ascertained the facts. It is altogether different whether Mr. Davis did the construction work or whether this company did the construction work. If the company, under this Act of incorporation, has not done any additional work, then the company are in default, and the present Bill may he reviving rights under the Act of 1901.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Does the hon. gentleman seriously argue as a proposition of law that anything we do under this Act may irevive the rights of 1901?


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: We have introduced already three amendments in the Bill that interfere with that Act of 1901, and this is a private Bill. If this House can curtail the rights of the company under the Act of 1901 by inserting an amendment in this Bill, then we can certainly confer Tights upon that company. If our amendments are any good at all, then we are capable of curtailing the rights of the company under the Act of 1901. I therefore move the amendment of which I have given notice.

Amendment (Mr. S. Sharpe) negatived.


David Henderson: I thought there were two words that were to be inserted by agreement. Is this the time to do it?


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: Yes, if they are verbal amendments, they can be inserted now.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Are these the two words that the hon. member for North Ontario referred to?


David Henderson: Yes.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: There is no objection to their being inserted. I therefore beg to
That in line 35, section 13, the words 'the Canadian ' between the words ' of ' and ' canal ' be substituted for the word ' our '. It will then read the ' safeguarding of the Canadian canal ' instead of ' our canal '; also in line 21, subsection 2, section 6, after the word ' energy ' there be inserted the words transmitted or '.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the third time.
James Kirkpatrick Kerr: Is it the pleasure.of the House that the Bill do now pass, and the title be entered as on the Order Paper?


Mr. J. A. CURRIE.: I beg to move that the Bill be not now read the third time, but that it be read the third time this day six months hence.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: I declared the Bill read the third time, and the question before the House is that the Bill be now passed, and its title be entered as on the order paper. The only amendment that can be put at this stage is regarding the title of the Bill. The Bill has passed its third reading, and this amendment is out of order.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill passed.

[Stage Direction]
House in committee on Bill (No. 120) respecting the Royal Guardians.-Mr. Rivet.

On the preamble,
Mr. FIELDING.: There is a question as to the propriety of using the word * royal ' in connection with public charters, and in the present case the parties concerned were careful to take the trouble of ascertaining from the Colonial Office whether there would be any objection. This was a very proper course. They have recited in this Bill that His Majesty has assented to the use of the word ' royal,' but, when His Majesty assents to this Bill in the usual way, he becomes a party to it, and I think the statement in the preamble is unnecessary. There are some reasons why we should not allow the recital to go in. I move that the words:
And whereas His Majesty has approved of the word ' royal ' in the title of the said association.
be stricken out.


Mr. U. WILSON.: I understood in the committee that these words had been put in at the special request of the department?


William Stevens Fielding: My understanding was that the fact that communication had been had with the Colonial Office should be recorded in the records of the committee, but I do not think it necessary to incor-j porate it in the preamble of the Bill.


Uriah Wilson: The position taken by the official of the department was that if it went in the minutes it would be lost sight of, and that if it went in the preamble it would give it publicity.	*


William Stevens Fielding: It is not necessary to put the statement in the preamble although, as I have said, I think the parties took the proper course.


David Henderson: I agree with the Minister of Finance that it is surplusage to add these words in the Bill, and it would look as if it were an effort to obtain a little cheap advertising for this company.


Mr. BARKER.: If you insert these words, it wouid imply that unless they were inserted we could not pass the Bill. I understood the minister to say that assent was not essential, but that it was discreet to apply for assent to the use of the word ' royal.'


William Stevens Fielding: We have used the word ' royal ' for many years without restriction, and of recent years a communication was received from the Colonial Office, not forbidding it but pointing out that it was open to objection and expressing the desire that the word should not be used except in cases where His Majesty approved. For that reason we generally prefer that the title should not be used. Still, our right
to use it, if in the judgment of this parliament it should be deemed expedient, would not be questioned.	[DOT]


Uriah Wilson: The promoter of the Bill is here, and he will corroborate what I have said.	<


William Stevens Fielding: I do not need corroboration for an assertion made by my hon.' friend; I am quite sure it is correct. If an officer of my department put it in that way, there is a little misunderstanding.
Amendment that the words be stricken from the preamble agreed to.
Bill reported, read the third time, and passed.	*

William Stevens Fielding: It will be in the recollection of the House that at the close of the debate on the Bill to amend the Criminal law in respect to the management of race-tracks, &c., the Bill, although in substance defeated, was allowed to stand on the order paper in the hope that some arrangement might possibly be made whereby the contending parties would agree. I am informed that such an arrangement has been reached, and upon that understanding, and in the belief that it will be acceptable to the House generally, I move that Order 37 in Public Bills and Orders standing in the name of Mr. Miller, be now called.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
House again in committee on Bill (No. 6) to amend the Criminal Code-Mr. Miller.
Mr. MILLER.: It has been correctly stated by the hon. Minister of Finance that an understanding has been arrived at between the opposing forces in connection with this Bill. Let me say at the beginning that I notice a report in the Toronto

papers this evening that I, acting for the Moral Reform Association, had negotiated a compromise. This I may say is entirely incorrect. It is only just to say that. I want for a few minutes to explain my position in accepting the compromise.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Dispense.


Henry Horton Miller: I think it is only right that I should explain my position in that regard, because I know that I shall be criticised for having accepted a compromise, and the question may be asked as to why, if I accept a compromise now, I was not willing to do sp when the matter was before the House. Let me say that I, with many of the parties who with me supported the Bill do not, by accepting a compromise, concede that it is a proper or right thing to allow professional betting in any place, either on or off a race-track, or at any time. However, I was unwilling to accept any compromise until we were defeated by a vote in the House, and it was found impossible to get that for which we asked. Then it occurred to me that there was just one of two things to do-either to renew the fight, with the hope of getting something more at another time, or else to accept some sort of compYomise. If the fight were renewed, I did not know what might or what might not have been obtained; but in accepting a compromise I knew that we were certain of securing^ a good deal of that for which we asked. I was talking with one of the leading lawyers of the province of Ontario, a man who does not belong to the Moral Reform Association, but who was very much interested in the passage of this Bill. After the vote of last Thursday night this gentleman said to a friend of mine that he hoped that I and those associated with me would not accept any compromise. However, in talking with him afterwards, the gentleman,-who is a very eminent practitioner of great ability, as well as common sense, said that I would be accepting a grave responsibility in refusing a compromise that would bring about a law that was so much better than what we have at present. I thought that in that statement he was perhaps right. Then I realized, too, that there was a danger of the public coming to the conclusion that we were wanting rather to win a fight than to obtain good legislation, and if any large number of the public had that idea, which was not a correct one, it would, nevertheless, prejudice a large number of people against the measure, and make it more difficult to obtain legislation again. I want to point out that the legislation we shall have, if his compromise be carried through, is a great step in advance. It will abolish hand-book making entirely; it will abolish the keeping of pool-rooms; it will abolish the advertising of tips and racing Mr. MILLER.
information, and the transmission by telegraph or otherwise of racing news; it will limit book-making on the race-track to a seven day racemreet at the longest and not exceeding two meets at any one association track in the course of a year. That will make a very great difference. It will reduce the spring meet of the Woodbine from thirteen days to seven days. It will make impossible the meet of thirty or forty days held at Vancouver, the 60-day meet at Victoria, and the long meets held at other race-tracks. We realize that a great many men both in the House, and out of the House who opposed the Bill as I first introduced it were nevertheless quite earnest, and honest in their desire to have clean sports.
Many of these men, with greater experience than mine, have stated to me that they believed that for the first six or seven days of a race-meeting men went there, because of their love for the horse and for forse-racing, but that after that it became rather an affair of gambling and these men desired to see the length of the meets shortened. The committee will also see that there is a provision that makes _ it impossible to establish tracks belonging to any association incorporation hereinafter unless the track be located within a Canadian town or city having a population of not less than 15,000 people. That will, I think, .be a great restriction. A question that may be asked is: Why am I willing to accede to a compromise to-night, when I refused to accept it on Thursday night? It was not because of my determination to have my own way in the matter. I did not like the compromise offered at that time, and if that compromise were offered now, I would not accept it. There is a difference in the reduction of days. The compromise offered on Thursday night provided for a reduction to eight days and that offered to-night is for seven days. That is a reduction of one-eighth of the time. But another and very material difference, and one I strongly objected to on Thursday last was in the amendment introduced then, that allowed and exempted in express language, ' bets between individuals.' Now, I had been advised by the most eminent legal authority in this House, that the words ' bets between individuals' would exempt betting with the book-maker at all times, and at all places, because in the last analysis, the bookmaker is after all .an individual. If that advice which I got from that eminent authority was correct, and if bets between individuals in that language would have exempted the book-maker, then the amendment offered to me, perhaps not by any intention of the person who conceived the amendment, would have made the amend-

ment and the law quite valueless, so that the amendment I offer to-night is a much better compromise in my opinion, than the compromise offered last Thursday. I know I will be criticised for having accepted any compromise. I was criticised before for being too narrow and too extreme. Criticism and fault-finding is the natural diet of a politician and I do not mind it any more than other politicians do. Now, just this in conclusion. I have said that those who promoted this Bill who were in favour of the passing of it, do not concede that it is right to allow persons to bet or gamble as a business at any place or time, and I would like to emphasise this. I notice an article in one of today's papers that there would be another agitation next session to wipe out the book-maker altogether. I do not think there is any foundation for making that statement. If we pass this law in this parliament, I think it is fair that there should be a reasonable time to see how the legislation passed works out in practice, and new legislation will be asked for when public opinion demands it. The coming of that time depends very largely on how the racing associations conduct their tracks in the interval. I have nothing further to say then, except to thank those who, in the. House and out of the House, helped me with my Bill and to say this that I have no feelings against those who opposed the Bill, and who, possibly, were as conscientious in opposing it as I was in promoting it. I move, seconded by Mr. Mc-Coll, that clause 2 of the said Bill be reconsidered.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
Henry Horton Miller: Then, if that is carried
1	beg to move that all the words in clause
2	of Bill (No. 6) after the word 'therefore' in-the second line be struck out and the following substituted:
(a)	opened, kept or used for the purpose of betting between persons resorting thereto, and
(i)	the owner, occupier or keeper thereof,
(ii)	any person using the same,
(iii)	any person procured or employed by, or acting for or on behalf of any such person,
(iv)	any person haring the care or management, or in any manner conducting the business thereof; or,
(b)	opened, kept or used for the purpose of any money or valuable thing being received by or on behalf of any such person as aforesaid, as or for the consideration
(i)	for any assurance or undertaking, expressed or implied, to pay or give thereafter any money or valuable thing on any event or contingency, of, or relating to any horse-race, or other race, fight, game or sport; or,
(ii)	for securing the paying or giving by some other person of any money or valuable thing on any such event or contingency; or,
(c)	opened, kept or used for the purpose of
recording or registering bets upon any contingency or event, horse-race, or other race, fight, game or sport, or for the purpose of receiving money or other things of value to be transmitted for the purpose of being wagered upon any such contingency or event, horserace or other race, fight, game or 6port, whether any such bet is recorded or registered there, or any money or other thing of value is there received to be so transmitted or not; or,
(d)	opened, kept or used for the purpose of facilitating or encouraging or assisting in the making of bets upon any contingency or event, horse-race or other race, fight, game or ,sport, by announcing the betting upon, or announcing or displaying the results of horseraces, or other races, fights, games.


[Stage Direction]
Amendment agreed to.
Henry Horton Miller: Then if that is carried I would like to move:
The word ' place,' as used in this section and in the preceding section, includes any place, whether inclosed or not, and whether it is used permanently or temporarily, and whether there is or is not exclusive right of user.
It will be remembered that the amendment in section 3 substituting the word ' place ' for ' house * contained in the latter part of 227, was to be sufficient. For that reason we are asking that this and one or two other following sections be struck out. I move that section 3 be struck out.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
On section 4,
Henry Horton Miller: For the same reason I would move to strike out section 4.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
Robert Laird Borden: Have these amendments the approval and concurrence of the Minister of Justice?


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Yes, they have.
On section 5,


Henry Horton Miller: This section does not relate in any way to racing, but to the barricading of a door in a gaming house. It is to get over a difficulty often found in connection with Chinese gaming houses where a door is barred to prevent the entrance of the police. I move that section 5 be amended to read:
Section 230 of the said code is amended by adding thereto the following paragraph:-
(e)	being the owner or other person in control of premises occupied or used as a disorderly house, knowingly allows any contrivance whatsoever upon the said premises for the purpose of preventing, obstructing or delaying the entry of any constable'or officer authorized as aforesaid into any such disorderly house, or any part thereof.


Robert Laird Borden: Have all the amendments the hon. member is moving

the concurrence and approval of the Minister of Justice?


Henry Horton Miller: I understand they have.


Robert Laird Borden: I think that either the Minister of Justice should be here or we should have some statement from some person who does know the fact.


William Stevens Fielding: The Prime Minister having consented to the Bill being called to-night I judge from that that the Minister of Justice has given his consent. 1 have not myself had any conversation with the Minister of Justice about it, but I have no doubt that the statement of the hon. member (Mr. Pardee) is correct.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: I have submitted these amendments to the Minister of Justice and he is quite content with them.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
On section 6,
Henry Horton Miller: Section 6 was for the same purpose as some of the other sections substituting the word ' place ' for ' house ' and for the reasons I have stated I move that section 6 be struck out.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
On section 7,
Henry Horton Miller: I move that section 7 be struck out, and that the following be substituted therefor:
Section 235 of the said code is repealed and the following is substituted therefor:-
235. Every one is guilty of an indictable offence, and liable to one year's imprisonment, and to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, who-
(a) uses or knowingly allows any part of any premises under his control to be used for the purpose of recording or registering any bet or wager, or selling any pool; or,
(h) keeps, exhibits, employs or knowingly allows to be kept, exhibited or employed, in any part of any premises under his control any device or apparatus for the purpose of recording any bet or wager or selling any pool; or,
(c)	becomes the custodian or depository of any money, property or valuable thing staked, w-agered or pledged in any case or transaction in which such staking, wagering or pledging is itself contrary to the provisions of this Act; or,
(d)	records or registers any bet or wager, or sells any pool upon the results,-
(i)	of any political or municipal election;
(ii)	of any race;
(iii)	of any contest or trial of skill or endurance of man or beast;
(e)	engages in pool-selling or book-making, or in the business or occupation of betting or -wagering, or makes any agreement for the purchase or sale of betting or gaming privileges, or for the purchase or sale of information intended to assist in book-making, poolselling, betting or wagering; or,


Robert Laird Borden: (f)	advertises, prints, publishes, exhibits, posts up, sells or supplies, or offers to sell or supply, any information intended to assist in, or intended for use in connection with, book-making, pool-selling, betting or wagering upon any horse-race or other race, fight, game or sport, whether at the time of advertising, printing, publishing, exhibiting, posting up or supplying such news or information, such horse-race or other race, fight, game or sport has or has not taken place; or,
(g)	advertises, prints, publishes, exhibits or posts up any offer, invitation or inducement to bet; or,
(h)	wilfully and knowingly sends, transmits, delivers or receives any message by telegraph, telephone, mail or express conveying any information relating to book-making, pool-selling, betting or wagering, or intended to assist in book-making, pool-selling, betting or wagering; or
(i)	aids or assists in any manner in any of the said acts which are by this section forbidden.
2. The provisions of this section and of sections 227 and 228 shall not extend to any person by reason of his becoming the custodian or depository of any money, property or valuable thing staked or to be paid to the winner of any lawful race, sport, game or exercise, or to be paid to the owner of any horse engaged in any lawful race, or to a private bet between individuals not engaged in any way in a business of betting, or to bets made or records of bets made upon the race-course of any incorporated association during the actual progress of a race-meeting conducted by such association upon races being run thereon, or to the sale by such association of information or privileges to assist in or enable the conducting of book-making, pool-selling, betting or wagering upon the race-course of such association-during the actual progress of a race-meeting conducted by such association upon races being run thereon, or to bookmaking, pool-selling, betting or wagering upon such race-course during the actual progress of a race-meeting conducted by such association upon races being run thereon. Provided that as to race-meetings at which there are running races no such race-meeting continues for more than seven days of continuous racing on days on which such racing may be lawfully carried on, and provided that no such association holds in any one calendar year more than two race-meetings at which there are running races and that there is an interval of at least twenty days between meetings, and provided that such race-meeting is held upon the race-course of a racing association now incorporated, or upon a race-course located in or within three miles of a Canadian town or city having a population of not less than fifteen thousand people by a racing association hereafter incorporated. Provided also that as to race-meetings at which there are trotting or pacing races no such racemeeting continues for more than three days, on which racing may be carried on, in any one calendar week, and that no race-meetings at which there are trotting or pacing races are held on the same grounds for more than fourteen days in all in any one calendar year.


Glenlyon Campbell: I do not wish to be controversial at all in this matter, I am and always have been strongly in favour

of the abolition of the worst vices that appertain to race-track gambling; but I would point out that Winnipeg and the people of the west desire to hold a World's fair in Winnipeg sometime in the near future. Surely it is not the intention of this parliament to legislate in such a way that if Winnipeg does hold a World's fair, we can only have seven, days' racing at that fair. I would like some provision inserted in this Bill that will get over that difficulty. I am only suggesting it to the good sense of the House, and not with any desire to raise any controversy in the matter.


Mr. McCOLL.: The World's Fair is a special event, and perhaps we could let that matter stand, and make it a subject of legislation if necessary when the World's Fair is finally decided on.


Glenlyon Campbell: I think that is quite right, if it were possible to give Winnipeg a guarantee to that effect.


John Allister Currie: I would like to ask the promoter of this Bill one question. Will this clause, as I find it in a copy of the Bill, prevent newspapers published in Canada or elsewhere from publishing bets or the odds on sporting events?


Henry Horton Miller: I do not think it will. That clause is not a new one, it was before the House foT a long time, and no newspaper publisher, or newspaper dealer has made any protest. I should think their interest is not being affected, or they would have protested.


John Allister Currie: I am sorry the Minister of Justice is not here, but the Solicitor General is here, and I would like to have his opinion on that question. For instance, would that clause prevent the ' Globe ' newspaper from publishing the odds, we will say, on the Jeffries-Johnson fight? Also, suppose a newsdealer sells a copy of the London ' Times ', which constantly contains sporting information, and odds on horse-races and on cricket matches, would the seller of the London ' Times ' be subject to prosecution under the Code? It is important that that should be made clear.


Henry Horton Miller: The language here is intended for use in connection with bookmaking, and surely it could not be held to cover any such case as the hon. gentleman mentions.


John Allister Currie: I think this is important, because in case of a prosecution under this Act, the intent of the House will always be considered by the courts.


Haughton Lennox: It cannot be considered at all.


Mr. BUREAU.: I do not think it is part of my duty to guide the House of Commons with any legal opinions I may entertain on any provision of this Bill. My hon. friend may consult the Minister of Justice if he chooses.


John Allister Currie: Then perhaps the promoter of the Bill will let me know whether he has presented that view of the case to the Minister of Justice, and whether the Minister of Justice has informed him that it would not affect newspaper publishers.


Henry Horton Miller: I may say that the question has never seriously arisen, although many lawyers have examined the Bill from beginning to end on every possible point. I think the Bill has received the approval of the Minister of Justice from beginning to end.


Mr. COWAN.: This section provides for two meets in the year of seven days each. I think there are cases where the association only holds one meet a year. It seems to me that the Bill should make provision for cases of that kind, that it would be a better thing to make provision for, say, a 10 day meet, where the association has only one meet a year.


Henry Horton Miller: I may say in reply to the hon. gentleman that there has been no willingness and no anxiety on my part in effecting a compromise to accommodate the Bill to every possible contingency or racing or gambling interest. I utterly refused to do that. The solicitors appearing for the racing association contended for an eight day meet throughout, and I said that if the number of days were not reduced to seven there would be no compromise at all. Now, we cannot legislate in one way for the eastern part of Canada and in another way for the western part, in our Criminal Code. The argument that was made for perpetuating race-track bookmaking at all was that racing was necessary to improve the breed of horses, and that book-making was necessary to keep up the races. Now, a gentleman from the city of Vancouver who is representing horsemen there, asked me to consent to the very thing the hon. member for Vancouver (Mr. Cowan) has just suggested, and his reason was this: He said, We have no race-horses in British Columbia, our horses all come from Texas and California, and they will not come for a seven day meet. I said in reply that if horse-racing is necessary for breeding good horses, and if book-making is necessary for racing, I do not think it is any part of the duty of the legislators of Canada -to give special terms to racing men in Vancouver to improve horses that are bred and owned in the states of Texas and California.


Mr. CONMEE.: I think there are some places in Canada where the Bill will work a little hardship. I agree with the hon. member for Vancouver (Mr. Cowan), According to the Bill, any association that holds two meets during the year can have races for 14 days within the year. Surely it would not be too much for an association that is supposed by its by-laws to hold only one meet, to have that meet last 10 days. Take the town in which I live, it is a long way from the general settlement of Ontario on the east and from Manitoba on the west. They have races there, and horses come from both the east and the west, not American horses hut Canadian horses, and I do not believe they would come for a seven days meet. The proposition, not to increase, but to reduce by four days the racing on that track, is not asking the hon. member to yield anything. How can it work any hardship? I support the suggestion of the hon. member for Vancouver.


George Henry Cowan: I made the suggestion because I think it would bring this compromise more in line with the original Bill which I supported. I can. see no necessity myself for two meets in the year. I think it is our duty to encourage a reduction of the number of meets and encourage it in that way. Whv do you insist on having two meets in the year? For my part I would be quite content if there were only one. But I think the least we can do is to make some provision which will he an inducement to the association to limit the number of meets to one a year. Probably it is not the number of days that each meet continues that brings the evils altogether, it is the number of meets as well. I think that the association which chooses to have only one meet in the year is doing much less to aggravate the evils of betting and race-track gambling than the association which has two meets. I think it is right that we should hold out some inducements to these associations which limit the number of their meets to one a year. I am prepared. I will prepare an amendment.


Henry Horton Miller: I hope the hon. gentleman will not press his amendment for the reason that his amendment will not necessarily reduce the number of meets. The hon. member wants to make it optional as to whether a racing association will have two meets of seven days in the year or whether it will choose to have one meet of ten days. Wherever it will be possible to hold two meets they will have them, but if it is impossible to hold the two meets they will hold one meet of ten days. I am told that the undesirable, obnoxious crowd that the hon. gentleman himself spoke of as frequenting the race-track are Mr. MILLER.
much less likely to attend and follow a short meeting than they are a long meeting, and after six or seven days the racing becomes utterly bad, while it may be comparatively respectable for the first six or seven days. For these reasons, I am utterly opposed to the long meeting, and I hope my hon. friend will not press his amendment.


James Conmee: I must disagree with the hon. gentleman (Mr. Miller).


An hon. MEMBER.: What do you race there?


James Conmee: We race some very good horses, not all owned by ourselves, but horses coming from a considerable distance. I do not wish to be understood as saying that we have no good horses, because we have. I hope the hon. gentleman will not take the ground that this Bill is, like the laws of the Medes and- Persians, unalterable, and that no change can be made in it under any circumstances. Here is a proposition that is in line with my hon. friend's argument from start to finish. It reduces and does not increase. It diminishes the number of meetings and diminishes the number of days. I do not agree with the idea that associations which hold their meetings for ten days are controlled by less reputable men or conduct their races less carefully, or that the class of people that attend a ten days' race-meeting is not equal in intelligence and otherwise to those whom you would meet, perhaps, at other places. The circumstances and the locality might make a difference. I am told that in the west a great many of the associations prefer one meeting in the year of ten days rather than two meetings. That is the case, I know, at the head of the lakes, and I do not like the idea thrown out that because of the extra three days the attendance there is disreputable in any respect.


Mr. NESBITT.: They can Tace as long as they like, but they can only sell pools for seven days.


James Conmee: I do not think that is so.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Carried, carried.


George Henry Cowan: I do object to the disagreeable accessories of race-meetings to such an extent that I want to see only one race-meeting in the year instead of two where that can be brought about, and I think it is perfectly in line' with the original amendment as brought in that we should do everything we can by way of encouragement and restriction to limit the number of meetings in a year.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Carried, carried.


Mr. DEPUTY SPEAKER.: The hon. gentleman (Mr. Cowan) requests a moment to

formulate his amendment, and I presume the committee will grant him the time.


George Henry Cowan: I do not wish to break in on the compromise, but I think that my hon. friend who is promoting this compromise knows perfectly well that that is a principle that he and I and the rest of us should favour. I think that we should do something towards limiting the number of meetings by way of encouragement, and I would like him to consent to the amendment I suggest, which can be worded later.


Mr. M. Y. McLEAN.: I do not want, at this stage of the proceedings, to discuss the merits of the case. I think the promoter of the Bill has gone too far in his concessions already, but I, with others who have supported the Bill, am willing, for the sake of a settlement, to accept the compromise made between the parties more immediately interested. If those who opposed the original Bill are not willing to accept that compromise then we had better drop the whole thing and leave the law as it is at present.


William Stevens Fielding: I believe that the hon. member for Lisgar (Mr. Sharpe) has some reason to complain, because I requested him to be good enough to allow us to break in on the proceedings in the expectation that this would only occupy a few minutes. If it is likelv to cause a prolonged debate, in fairness to the hon. member for Lisgar, I think that we should move that the committee rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Finish the Bill.


George Henry Cowan: I have just said that I do not wish to interfere with the compromise that has been reached, but I would ask the gentlemen who have agreed to the compromise to agree to the change I propose, because it is in the direction of the original Bill.	.


Henry Horton Miller: If I thought it was I would at once agree, but it seems to be exactly the contrary. The hon. gentleman asks that we give an option to the associations so that they shall be able to choose as to whether they shall have two seven-day meetings or one ten-day meeting. If so, it is never impossible for them to have two meetings, that is their business; it is not the business of this House. Then, what they will do, if we amend the Bill as the hon. gentleman suggests, will be to hold one ten-day meeting until such time as they are able to hold two seven-day meetings, and as this would be extending rather than limiting the time, I refuse to accept the amendment.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill reported.
Mr. MILLER moved the third reading of the Bill.
David Henderson: Is it the intention to put the Bill through all its stages tonight, or will the members have an oppor

tunity of looking it over?


Some hon. MEMBERS: Finish it up.


William Stevens Fielding: It can only go through by consent.


David Henderson: I do not want to object to the Bill going through, but did not think the promoter would be anxious to have it read a third time^ without giving us an opportunity of reading it over. Of course, if it is not intended to reprint tha Bill, delay would not be of much use.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: The Bill can only go through by consent.


David Henderson: I cannot consent to or dissent from something I have little knowledge of. I would not want to express dissent, because the Bill may be such as I am instructed to support, but in the absence of an opportunity for consideration, I thought it only reasonable that the third reading should be postponed.
Mr MILLER, It has been said that it is very doubtful whether the Bill would get through at all if it stands, and I hope the hon.. gentleman will take my word for it that I made every effort to have passed into law the Bill which I introduced originally, and failing in that, I took the best) substitute I could for my Bill. I ask the hon. gentleman (Mr. Henderson) to accept1 my statement that this Bill has been guarded as carefully as it was within my power to guard it.


David Henderson: I have accepted a good deal from the hon. gentleman, but I stopped when he asked me to accept a motion to kill the Bill.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the third time, and passed.

[Stage Direction]
House resumed adjourned debate on the motion that Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair for the House to go into Committee of Supply.
['Then supply on the estimates of the Minister of Agriculture.']
William Henry Sharpe: Mr. Speaker, before you left the Chair at six o'clock, I was speaking of the combines and mergers which harass the people of the west, and as another filustration of how we are held up by mergers and combines,1' I will instance the cement combine. Cement is coming into general use throughout the country, and last year the town of Manitou, in which I reside, and which hasi

a population of about 1,000, put down ce-* ment walks costing $13,000. Had that town-bought the cement since the merger, it would have cost the people between $1,200. and $1,400 more than it did. If the Minister of Agriculture is looking after the interests of the people, it is his duty to take measures to prevent such combinations in this country. The hon. gentleman took three and a half hours to explain to us what he had done for the people of Canada, but when we look at his record during the past fourteen years as Minister of Agriculture, we are compelled to come to the conclusion that he has done very little indeed1 to improve the condition of the people. The fact is that he has simply followed the beaten path trod by the Conservative government before 1896, and whenever he departed from that path he has found, and we to our sorrow have found, that he has invariably come to grief. His cool curing of cheese experiment is an example. He constructed four cool curing stations respectively at Brockville, Cowansville, St. Hya-cinthe and Woodstock in which to demonstrate to factory men the increased money there was in the cheese business from properly curing the cheese. From the outset the experiment was not on a practical basis. On these four stations the minister spent $45,000 for construction, and he ran them for five years at a cost of $137,300. Against that outlay he had a revenue of $82,029.22, leaving a loss on operating account of $45,270. It is easy enough to understand that the cool curing of cheese is a good thing, but what the cheese producer wants to know is something about the financial results. The minister has never revealed this, and when one looks at the Auditor General's Report for the years in which these curing stations were in operation, it is easy to understand his silence. Right at the start, he began purchasing-from the factory men cheese to the value of $47,514.94, and after curing it in his model stations, he sold it for $47,385 or $129 less than he paid for it originally. In this losk there is not one cent included for the cost of handling, the cost of curing, the cost of insurance, or the interest on the investment, and any one knows that it will cost a good many thousand dollars to handle a business of $47,000. It will, therefore, be-seen that this attempt of the minister to butt into the cheese business in order to1 show the factory men how to increase their business, was quite an expensive affair foi the country. It may be urged that the operation of the curing stations was more or less experimental, but there was nothing experimental about the transaction in the cheese itself, which after having been bought and paid for and cured was sold at a loss. That is a mighty poor business pro-Mr. W. H. SHARPE.
position. The stations, however, were not an experiment. They were intended as a demonstration. They undoubtedly did some good. But how much more would they have done had they been conducted along business lines and afforded factory men financial as well as technical proof of the value of cool curing.
That is only one of the many times the hon. minister has made blunders in connection with his department. At the time he started in to show the farmers' wives throughout this country how to fatten chickens, he bought a dollar's worth of feed and fed it to a dollar's worth of chickens, sold the product for a dollar, and tried to figure out a profit. But he is great on the poultry department. Some time ago during this session I took a trip to the Experimental farm, and I found conditions there in what I considered very bad shape. After I came back I asked a few questions in regard to the poultry department, and I found that they had 320 head of poultry there, and that it took five men to look after them. One of those men received $1,500 a year, another $1,300, another $640, another $620, and another $500, making a total of $4,560 to look after 320 hens. The revenue fronr that department during ten months of this year amounted to $350.87, and the feed would have to be bought out of this. I want to say to the hon. minister that while these conditions are here at Ottawa at the present time, if he would take time enough to visit the Agricultural College at Guelph he would find one man there, employed at $35 per month, looking after over 1,000 head of poultry. I may say that our poultry department on the Experimental farm here was started 22 years ago, and it has been on the same three acres during those 22 years.
Taking the report of the Agricultural College at Guelph, we find that the best results are not obtained by keeping fowl on the same ground all the time. For the information of the House I will read what that Teport says on that point.
Our experience is that in order to grow the best chickens at the least cost and as quickly as possible, one must be careful to put them on new or untainted ground. We find year after year that where we raised chickens on new ground, they grow faster and make larger birds.
Still with this evidence before him, the minister continues to keep the fowl and tries to carry on experiments on this little three acres of land at the Experimental Farm. I might also say that the buildings which they have there are all long out of date. We are liable to look lightly on the poultry department; but I want to tell you that while we in Canada have not started in to experiment at all in poultryraising in connection with the experimen-

tal farms throughout the country, yet the revenue which we received from poultry last year amounted to over $25,000,000. In the "United States, where they have experimented to a certain extent, the revenue from poultry amounted to over $600,000,-
000.	This is only a sample of the conditions prevailing at the Experimental Farm at Ottawa. The hon. minister this afternoon spent a great deal of time on the Health of Animals Department. The most deplorable thing, iij connection with that department is that when we ask the hon. minister a question, very often we cannot depend on the answer we receive. For instance, last year, in Committee of Supply, I asked the hon. minister why he kept five veterinary surgeons in the city of Winnipeg and paid them over $10,000 a year. He answered that the five veterinary surgeons in Winnipeg did all the veterinary work throughout the province of Manitoba. But I had a list, which I have before me to-night, showing that they had paid out to other veterinary surgeons outside of Winnipeg, and within the bounds of Manitoba, over $6,000. I consider that it is a very serious state of affairs when we cannot get an answer that we can depend on from one of the ministers. The hon. minister had told us what great things he was doing, and how cheaply he was getting them done. But during the year 1905, which was the last year that the Roblin government had control of the health of animals for the province of Manitoba-the next year they turned it over to the Dominion government-it cost the province to look after the health of animals $3,655, while last year this government paid for the same service over $16,000, besides paying something like $15,000 for the slaughter of animals. Then, there is the quarantine inspection. You will remember, Mr. Speaker, that in 1908 we had a general election in the Dominion of Canada. They had to get up a party fund in some way for some of their friends, and we found them getting up a small-pox scare throughout the province of Manitoba. They appointed ten frontier quarantine inspectors in my constituency, and in other constituencies in southern Manitoba, and they paid them $508.06 each of the people's money. Since then I have inquired of other doctors in southern Manitoba, and without one exception, they have all told me that they never heard of one case of small-pox during that whole year in southern Manitoba.


William D. Staples: Who were the men?


William Henry Sharpe: I have a list of them here: Drs. A. Bradford, J. A. Carter, E. J. Duncan, R. S. Thornton, J. C. Riddle, E. Henderson, L. B. Scott, M. Wallace. Dr. May and T. D. McKinney. They all received $508, except Dr. May, and he re-231
ceived $250. Now, I want to say, Mr. Speaker, that that year, as I said before, was the year of the election. I travelled from one end of my constituency to the other a good many times, and I am ready to make an affidavit at any time, that I never heard of a small-pox case during that whole year.


An hon. MEMBER.: Are they Grits?


William Henry Sharpe: They are all good Grits.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: It is not necessary to state that.


William Henry Sharpe: Some of these gentlemen never sent in a report at all. Some of them, only one, and one wrote to the department and said, tell me where you heard there was some small-pox so that I can get a case, or words to that effect. When I asked the minister for the return in connection with this matter of thd appointment of these inspectors, he absolutely refused to furnish it and said it was not the custom of the House to bring them down. These men are good party workers and I want to say right here, that the quarantine inspectors and the custom house officers at Gretna were the best organizers that the reform party had in the whole of my constituency. They took an active part in every way possible, in every election in that part of the country. Now, we have 34 of those quarantine inspectors throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan. These men draw $65,258 of the people's money, and if they are anything like the quarantine inspectors we had throughout the province of Manitoba, it is no wonder there are not many members on this side of the House from'those two provinces. The minister does all this under the name of agriculture. This money, I claim is being spent largely as an organizing scheme for the reform party, and before I take my seat, I want to tell the hon. minister that as far as I am concerned, and as far as I have heard from other members on this side, he will not find any criticism at all of any legitimate expenditure that he has a mind to bring forward. I would willingly support the hon. minister, if he spent ten times what he is spending to-day in the interests of the agricultural people throughout this country, because we must remember that the man who made this country what it is to-day, is the man behind the plough, and I would appeal to the hon. minister to put forth an extra effort and try to give him a fair deal, in this great country.


Mr. SCHELL.: I do not propose to occupy the attention of the House at any length, but there are a few statements made by the hon. member who has just taken his seat, to which I wish to reply.



Agriculture in the Dominion of Canada occupies a position of which we are all proud, irrespective of party affiliations and notwithstanding what may be said for political effect or from a partisan standpoint. The work that has been done by our Minister of Agriculture during the last 12 years stands out clearly as evidencing progress and development on lines that make for agricultural betterment, in every sense of the word. I am sure it is not necessary for me or for any member of this House to occupy the time in substantiating what the Minister of Agriculture has placed before us this afternoon. The statement that he has made, I am sure will meet with the approval of the people of this country, when they have an opportunity to read what he has presented to us. The hon. member who has just taken his seat, has endeavoured to make a point against the department by claiming that our agricultural exports have not increased during the last two years and he quoted three or four of our products, namely, cattle and cheese and butter and one or two others. He took as his basis, the years 1903 and 1904, as compared with the years 1908-9. We all know that the exports of those products have decreased somewhat, not very materially, in fact I do not know but that the exports of our dairy produce are a little more than they were last year, perhaps not quite as much as they were in 1903-4. But there is a good reason for that. Those years 1903-4 were exceptional years for the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The pasturage was exceptionally good and our exports were correspondingly large, especially of cheese and butter. Those products have, I maintain, not decreased materially, although as I say, they have been a trifle less probably within the last .three or four years, than they were during 1903 or 1904.


Mr. THORNTON.: How much have the exports for instance of butter, cheese, ham and bacon decreased, in say 1907, 1908 and 1909. How much per year?


Malcolm Smith Schell: In 1908, the exports of our dairy products amounted to a trifle over $21,000,000. This last year they were almost exactly the same. The general manager of the Bank of Montreal, in his annual address, said that our dairy products were larger this year than they were last year. I think that if we had the complete figures we would find that the last year's exportation is a little larger than that of the preceding year. Taking our total exports, which I contend is the proper basis on which to view this question, we find this difference:
Exports of purely
Year.	agricultural products.
1896	 $14,083,361
1909	 71,997,207


Malcolm Smith Schell: This is an increase of over 400 per cent. Of animals' and their products the figures are:
Year.	Amount.
1896	 $36,507,641
1909	 51,349,646


David Henderson: If the hon. gentleman would take 1874 he would find the difference would be still greater.


Malcolm Smith Schell: In 1885 our agricultural exports were only about $23,000,000, including animals and their products.
The total exports of agricultural products and live stock and its products were:
Year.	Amount.
1896	 $ 50,591,002
1909	 123,346,853
I contend that those figures are the clearest possible evidence as to the growth and development of this country on agricultural lines. The hon. member referred to the increase of our exports of manufactured goods as being something to be proud of, and certainly the increase has been large; but taking our exports as a whole or taking our agricultural products as a whole and compare them with all our other products, I find the percentage of increase has been as large as or larger than in the case of our other exports. We have had an increase in our exports of about 120 per cent in the twelve years. During that period our population has only increased about 30 per cent, so you will see that the increase per^capita has been very material. If you take into consideration the increase of population during that period, you will find that it was something over 1,500,000, and the increase in consumption owing to that increase in population amounted to at least $75,000,000 yearly, and in that fact we have perhaps the strongest possible reason why our exports of dairy and meat products have not increased as we would desire. We all know that the provinces of Ontario and Quebec are the principal provinces for the production of dairy products. With the increased demand by reason of the trend of our population to the towns and cities, by reason of the increased purchasing power of our population caused by better times, all our dairy products are finding an increased home market. Considering also the fact that the population of these provinces has not increased in the same proportion as that of the rest of Canada, it is not reasonable to expect there would be the same increase in these particular products. The western provinces have become consumers to a very large extent of our dairy products. When we consider the whole of our agricultural products', which I contend is the only proper I basis, we are able to see at a glance that I we are making very rapid progress on the line of agricultural development.

I have here a few figures in connection with the live stock trade of the United States, to show you that in the neighbouring republic their exports of meat products have not kept up in proportion to the growth and development of the country. Their exports of caitle were:
Year.	Value.
1896	 $38,273,132
1907		 33,796,425
1908		 24,034,193
For the nine months of 1909, 75,000 less cattle were exported than during the year 1908.
Michael Ryan of the Packers Association of the United States said:
Unless many more cattle are grown there cannot be a lower price, and America may find itself an importer of meats.


And Mr.  J. J.@: Hill recently made the statement that in his opinion it would be only a few years when the United States would be importers of all kinds of farm products and inside of ten years he predicted they would be importers of wheat. Thus I contend that the argument the hon. member for Lisgar (Mr. Sharpe) was endeavouring to make that our agricultural exports were not increasing as rapidly as they should, has really no foundation in fact. The progress we have been making on agricultural lines has been such as to attract the attention of people in foreign countries to the condition of agriculture in Canada. Only two years ago, in 1908, a commission of Scottish farmers visited Canada to gather information and ideas in regard to Canadian agriculture, and the compliments paid by that commission to the Dominion of Canada on agricultural lines are something of which we have reason to be especially proud. It was only last year that the live stock commissioner of Denmark, Mr. Peter Morteborg, visited Canada. I had the pleasure of meeting that gentleman, he called on me, and I am sure he was particularly impressed with the advanced position we were taking in agricultural pursuits.
Reference was made to the cool-curing rooms established by this government for handling and curing cheese, and figures were presented in the endeavour to show that the investment was not a paying one. I happen to have some personal knowledge and experience of the work done by the station established in Woodstock, being closely associated with one of the largest factories in that neighbourhood. We found that by having the cheese cured under the system there established we were saving from a pound to a pound and a half on each cheese, which means from 16 to 18 cents per cheese saved under the system of curing that was there inaugurated. Not only was it proven that there was a saving in 231J
weight by curing under those conditions, but we also found that we had a better product in the cheese, making it more valuable. Further experiments which were carried on proved that fact absolutely to the satisfaction of the patrons of the factory I refer to, and of other factories whose cheese was put into that curing room as an experiment. Instead of showing a loss of a few thousand dollars, as the hon. gentleman endeavoured to show to-night, it has effected a saving of thousands, and tens of thousands of dollars, indeed I think I am safe in saying of hundreds of thousands of dollars, to the cheese industry of the Dominion of Canada. So much was the value increased that throughout the western part of the province of Ontario our cheese factories have established a system of cool curing by storing ice for use during the summer months. I am sure that the work that is being carried on by the Minister of Agriculturre, whether you consider the live stock branch, the health of animals branch, the seeds branch,, the experimental farms, the dairy department, or any other department you wish to investigate, that work will commend itself to the good judgment and the honest judgment of the people of this country.


Charles Jonas Thornton: I desire to make a few remarks on the subject introduced by the Minister of Agriculture. It has been well said and often repeated during this dicussion that the Agricultural interest is of the first importance to this country, and there can be no disputing that fact. In discussing this matter I wish to be fair to the Minister of Agriculture. I would not for a moment take the position that no good has been done by his department; I wish to give him, and his department full credit for whatever benefits they have conferred upon the country. But I could not admit for a moment that all has been done that should have been done, because I think the facts will prove the contrary. As I said, I wish to discuss the question in a fair and impartial manner, because it is the good of the country that I desire above all things, rather than that of' party. As agriculture is the foundation of all the other industries, I think it is deserving of the most attention at our hands. Now, when I entered this House the idea was uppermost in my mind that the agricultural interests were the most important we have to consider, and I thought the Committee on Agriculture would perhaps be one of the most important committees of this House, and that it would have questions of the very highest importance to deal with. At the close of last session we found that nothing had been done by that committee except to sit and listen to lectures from professors from the experimental farms.

As a humble member of the committee I thought that was only preliminary to the introduction of more serious work by the committee. But this session also I have found that the committee paid less attention to the subject than it did last session. It was weeks after the House met before the committee were called together for organization, and there has been no meeting of that committee since the month of February. The chairman of that committee is the hon. gentleman who has just addressed the House (Mr. Schell). It seems to me that committee has been negligent in looking after the interests of the farming population of this country. In making this criticism I do it with the honest purpose of directing the attention of the minister to the subject, and I hope he will receive the suggestions I make in the same spirit in which I offer them. That committee is called the Committee on Agriculture and Immigration, and there are many pressing questions before the country to which it ought at once to turn its attention. Now, there is one very serious problem among others to which I wish to refer; I called the attention of the chairman of the committee to it at our closing meeting held a few weeks ago, because I thought ithat something would be done about it in the House during this session. The question I refer to is that of production and consumption, particularly as they relate to the products of the farm. That problem has become a very serious one in the older provinces where we find the population of the towns and cities increasing, in some cases at a very rapid rate, while the population in the rural districts is decreasing. As a result of the decrease of population in the rural districts, production must naturally decrease likewise. Of course it does not always follow that a decrease in population means a decrease in production, because one man can do more work in some lines on a farm now by means of modern agricultural appliances than two or three men could do years ago. But it is a fact that in the province of Ontario the rural population is decreasing, and I am told that the same decrease is taking place in Nova Scotia, New' Brunsw'ick and Quebec and the the result is a very large decrease in the amount of food stuffs produced.
Now, the superintendent of the fruiti division, at the meeting of the Agricultural Committee last session, drew our attention' to this problem which he said was facing us, and he proposed a solution of it. The solution he proposed was that the government should use the means at its disposal to encourage people to go back to the land. He cited an instance before the committee of a section of country where he was residing, I believe in the county of Middlesex,' Mr. THORNTON.
when he was a boy, in which there were fifteen families each on a fifty-acre farm. He told us that these fifteen farms, with a total area of 750 acres, wTere now in the possession of one man, and that instead of (fifteen families living on these farms, they are now combined into the one farm with two families living on it. He said that the rental per acre of that land for grazing purposes was only $2, whereas, if it were divided into small farms and planted with apples, it would be capable of producing $200 per acre. Mr. McNeill's solution of the question is that the land, instead ofi being made into larger farms should be divided into smaller farms, that more attention should be paid to the production of fruit, especially apples, and that the land should be made to produce that of which it is capable. There was a case brought to my attention just a few days ago. The hon. member for Kootenay (Mr. Goodeve) is personally acquainted with the circumstances that I am about to relate. An acquaintance of his has a fruit farm of small dimensions in British Columbia, and that he was producing from five acres of strawberries $1,400 per acre. This was the amount of gross receipts in 1909. He is not getting any extravagant prices for his strawberries. They averaged him not more than ten cents per box, but he is making a fortune raising five acres of strawberries per year. The point I want to make is that this problem of production and consumption must be solved by the authorities of this country, and that means the Minister of Agriculture and his department, because that is the only department that can handle it. The problem must be solved,, and it must be solved in that way. It is a broad question, but it is worthy of the attention of the minister and of the department, and I would say without any feeling of animosity or any desire to stir up party controversy whatever, that this question should receive the most serious attention of the Minister of Agriculture. He should-take hold of it in a broad way. I believe there is a solution of the difficulty, but it requires to be shown that the land is capable of producing far in excess of what it is producing to-day. There should be more tillers of the soil. When we touch the question of making the land more productive, we are face to face with the labour problem. One of the difficulties that faces the farmer to-day in older Ontario is the scarcity and dearness of labour. I believe that a good class of experienced farm labourers could be had from the older countries. I saw a letter only yesterday from a member of the Ontario legislature who has been for several weeks in England, in the counties of Sussex and Kent, and he says that there are many hundreds, and,

I presume from what he says thousands of experienced farm labourers in these two counties who are willing and anxious to come to Ontario and work on these older farms. If that is so, the labour problem can be solved. The chairman of the Committee on Agriculture has made some statements with regard to the export of agricultural products', and especially of dairy and hog products that are not borne out by the facts or by statistics. There is no question at all, but that the export of fine dairy products, such as butter, cheese, eggs, bacons and hams, is decreasing at quite a rapid rate. The export of hams and bacon is decreasing at the rate of $2,000,000 a year. There is no question at all but that the farmers are not taking hold of the hog industry as they should. The Minister of Agriculture will know, as well as every farmer who has experience, that one of the chief reasons for the decrease in hog production is the fact that the farmers have at least been caught three times with large stocks on their hands when the packers thought they could take advantage of them, and they were compelled, at a tremendous sacrifice, to sell their hogs away below cost price. It is not a difficult thing to fool the farmers a few times, but they cannot be fooled too often, and there is no question but that one of the reasons of the light production of hogs to-day is that if the farmers loaded up with hogs they do not know what the consequences might be within a year and a half, because it would take that time for the farmers to get hogs enough ahead to be worth while. Perhaps the main question with the farmer, in so far as production is concerned, is the question of labour. So, I think thftt the minister should take hold of this question in a serious way. A great improvement might be made, here in the older province of Ontario at least, if the people could be led to see that there is money to be made out of farming on small farms in a way that they1 do not appreciate to-day, and until they are convinced of that they will never get back on tbe land. One of the problems is to educate the farmer along these lines. These are important questions. I started out with the question of the scope and work of the Committee on Agriculture of this House, and I think that the committee should take hold of this question. _ The Minister of Agriculture should lead in it, and I know that a majority of the members of the committee are anxious that some effective work should be done by the committee along these lines. I think they are perfectly willing to do it in a manner altogether free from party spirit. Unless something is done to better the condition of things in the older provinces there is a serious problem ahead of the people living
in these provinces. I trust the minister will give this matter his most serious con-', sideration.


Dr. EUGENE PAQUET. (L'Islet).: (Translation). Mr. Speaker, the hon. the Minister of Agriculture is right in requiring a larger vote than that of past years with a view to favouring the several pro-, gress of agriculture. I will always concur with pleasure in the granting, of sums of money for the purpose of promoting agricultural reforms. These are badly required in the district of Quebec, for the population of the magnificent parishes on the banks of the St. Lawrence is yearly dwindling.
The minister might secure the progress of agriculture by establishing an experimental farm in the eastern portion of the province of Quebec. I will not, however, enter this evening into the reasons prompting us to insist upon an experimental farm in the Quebec region. They are well known to the head of the department.
We are in a position to appreciate the beneficial results of the fruit station established at the village Des Aulnaies by Auguste Dupuis. Such a station in our region has already become a source of very marked progress.
The Minister of Agriculture of the Quebec government has established an agricultural society in the county which I have the honour to represent. Farmers may derive great benefit therefrom and the work would be greatly helped by the establishment in connection therewith of a bee culture station. We are now making that request, in support of which you will allow me to read a petition sent by one of my electors to the hon. the Minister of Agriculture:



[Stage Direction]
Village des Aulnaies, April, 1910.
To the Honourable Sydney Fisher,
Minister of Agrieutlure,
Ottawa,
Sir,-I have the honour of calling your particular attention to the importance of bee-culture in the province of Quebec.
That branch of agriculture which you have long appreciated and encouraged has progressed since the farmers have adopted the newer methods and the modern mobile hive.
All farmers who have followed the practical methods and advice of lectures on bee culture have realized excellent profits and are naturally more interested than ever in the art. The number of hives has materially increased in all the different, counties of the province.
This increase would be more than doubled every year, Sir, if an experimental bee culture station were established under the auspices of the federal government in our portion of this province.
These experimental bee culture stations would attend to the numerous requests for hives which are yearly increasing it they would he in a position to dispose of the hives
[Stage Direction]
on somewhat better terms tban private dealers.
You are aware, sir, that I am the only specialist in bee culture. I find that the business pays. I have sold hundreds of hives since 1875 at $10 a hive, and I have studied and practised the art of artificial swarming.
As a rule farmers find that $10 is too much to pay for a hive in the spring, the more prosperous alone can afford one or two at that price; the greater number do not buy and the development of this important industry is therefore greatly retarded.
The establishment of a bee culture experimental station would therefore be very useful to farmers who are anxious to go into that branch of agriculture, by enabling them to obtain hives on better terms.
Moreover, and this, sir, is an important consideration, farmers in the eastern portion of the province would enjoy the great advantage of being able to obtain information and lessons in bee culture without being obliged to incur the loss in time and money entailed by a journey to the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa.
The location of a bee culture experimental station would be easy bo find as I have the honour of placing at the disposal of the minister my own apiary and laboratory, which, after the spring sales, will contain one hundred modern hives, of the Jones type, considered the best for cold countries. I have seen them in use in Switzerland, in 1889. My apiary is at the village Des Aulnaies, in the county of I/Islet, on the banks of the St. Lawrence, an ideal spot surrounded by meadows bearing during the spring every species °f plant favourable to the making of honey and quite close to extensive orchards, containing not only fruit trees but also ornamental trees such as acacia, linden tree, chestnut tree, willow, poplar, aspen and alder. All these trees bear the pollen and nectar indispensable to successful bee culture, more especially with respect to the feeding of larva; in the spring.
You are also aware, sir, that this establishment is in close proximity to the fruit farm and experimental station of Des Aulanies, managed by my brother Auguste Dupuis, to which farmers come from all parts of the province to study the culture of fruit trees. The success of this establishment is in a measure due to the presence of the bees who are the very best cross breeders of fruit blossoms.
The establishment of a bee culture experimental station in such a spot could not fail to succeed and numerous visitors would derive benefit from the object lessons to be had there both in horticulture and apiculture.
Another important consideration is the absence in the eastern portion of the province of that disease of the hive called 'foul brood'; it is unknown from the county of Yamaska on the south shore and from the county of St. Maurice to the north. The Agricultural Association of the county of L'Islet has a membership extending from the counties above mentioned to the peninsular of Gaspe. JPirectors and members of the association use every effort to prevent this plague of the hive from spreading here; lectures are delivered and the importation of hives and of queen bees from infected districts is guarded against. You will readily understand, sir, the importance of such an ex-
Eugène Paquet: perimental bee culture station; it might save the district from a great danger by the breeding of queen bees. The disease having been originally introduced into the province by the importation of queens from abroad.
I am in a position to state that such importations, made with excellent intentions of improving the breed of bees, has been attended in many cases with disastrous results to the apiarists whose hives I have inspected since three years.
In conclusion, sir, should you decide to establish an experimental bee culture station in this portion of our province, I should be glad to be appointed to conduct it if you consider that my services, personal experimentation and observation and my studies in Europe of the best methods of breeding render me competent to do so.
And your petitioner shall ever pray.


LUC DUPUIS.
[Stage Direction]
This petition is deserving of our support, and I now request that the hon. the Minister of Agriculture will establish a bee culture station as reqeusted.
Bee culture is a very important branch of our agricultural industry.
I hone that when he is next heard from, the Minister of Agriculture will give us his opinion on the subject.
The administrative routine of a department is a matter worthy of attention. On the 17th March, 1909, the Minister of Agriculture declared that he had organized, in 1907, a French translation office in his department. The departmental documents translated into French are most useful and necessary to secure the. progress of agriculture. Their immediate translation enables French-speaking farmers to study them and reap the benefit of their contents without delay.
All the English-speaking ministers should have a French translation office in their departments. The work done by the Department of Agriculture might be undertaken in all the others with the same results. They might easily secnre the services of a competent staff of translators. The hon. the Minister of Agriculture understands the requirements of "the national life and I congratulate him upon it.
Motion agreed to, and House went into Committee of Supply.
Archives, $30,000.
George Taylor: There is an increase of $2,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes. The work is constantly expanding. Under Civil Government, I had to increase the staff somewhat. The number of documents pouring in to that office is so great that we have a great deal more work than formerly in classifying and cataloguing them.


William D. Staples: This is a late hour to go into Committee of Supply to consider the estimates of the Department of Agriculture.

The minister has come down to-day in the same manner that he has done every session that I have been a member of this House. He waits for an opportunity to try to steal through this House the estimates of the most important department of this government, at a period of the session and at an hour of the night when there is scarcely a member in the House. I would ask the minister to look behind him and see how many members there are to vote the money to carry on the affairs of this department. It is not fair to the agriculturalists of this country. What was the snectacle we had this afternoon? The minister knew that if he proceeded in the regular way a great many members interested in this department would be here to ask questions, ascertain facts, and make suggestions, in order that the farmers of this country might be benefited. But the minister, feeling that it was too early in the day to go with his estimates, adopted other tactics. Before the Speaker left the Chair, he brought up the administration of his department, I suppose as a grievance. Well, I want to tell the Minister of Agriculture that the farmers of this country have a great grievance against his department. He gives them data almost as old as the Laurentian hills. When I first came to this House I heard the same speech that the Minister of Agriculture has given us to-day. I said to one of the old parliamentarians: 'This Minister of Agriculture is a crackerjack, well up in his department.' He answered: 'Wait till you are here a year or two; you will find he presents the same speech to this House every session, and he expects it to go to the country to convince the farmers of Canada that he is administering the department to the best of advantage.' He came here today to make a great play to the gallery. Before he began he looked around. I looked around at the same time, and what did I find? I found that he had some of his officials here to listen to his oration. I think it is not just to the agriculturalists of this country that he should come at eleven o'clock at night, at a time when there is scarcely a member in the House, and ask us to make provision for carrying on the affairs of his department. I have a great many questions that I want to ask the minister, and I purpose asking them. At the same time, I do not feel that it is fair to the members of this House who have been here very late every night this week to ask them to remain any longer. Under the circumstances, I move that the committee rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I realize that it is late. I have no desire to force anything through. I think, however, that if we pass the item which has been called, which is not an
agriculture item, it will not interfere with the opportunity of hon. members to discuss all the agriculture items. I have no intention of asking for more than one item to pass this evening, and I can assure my hon. friend that I will as soon as possible give hon. members another opportunity in committee to discuss all the agriculture items of the department.


Glenlyon Campbell: I feel obliged to say a few words as to the conduct of the Minister of Agriculture this afternoon, when he made so many impertinent remarks to gentlemen on this side of the House.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: The hon. gentleman, I hope, will modify that expression.


Glenlyon Campbell: Mr. Chairman, I might bring to your notice that the word impertinent has two meanings, but I will yield to your ruling if you still insist upon it.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: If the hon. gentleman states that his use of the word impertinent is intended to mean not pertinent, I will accept his explanation. In any other sense it would not be parliamentary.


Glenlyon Campbell: Of course, Mr. Chairman, I will have to accept your ruling. There is only a little reservation that _ 1 might make. If any hon. gentleman in the House wishes to think I mean anything else, and the cap fits, he can put it on. We listened to an immoderately long speech this afternoon, and I wondered why it was given. I have the explanation from my hon. friend from Macdonald. It was surprising, when so many members were in the House wishing to discuss these estimates, that they were not brought up. I think that speech could have come at this hour with very much better satisfaction to the Efouse than it did at the hour it was delivered. The speech reminded me of a phrase in the introduction to one of Mark Twain's books, where he said: ' I am so full of information that it exudes from me; in fact, it distils from me like the precious ottar of roses from the otter.
I do not wish to make a speech, but I wish to join in the suggestion of my hon. friend. I think a million dollars is very much too large an item to pass without discussion. If one item is desired I would suggest taking one of the smaller ones.
Some resolutions reported.

[Stage Direction]
Mr. GEE VAIS moved the second reading of the Bill. ^
George Taylor: No, no.


Mr. DEPUTY  SPEAKEE@: If there is objection to the second reading, it must stand.


Mr. GEEVAIS.: I may state Mr. Speaker, by way of explanation, that there is a report which is printed in the proces verbal of the House, which declares it to be in accordance with all the rules of the House, and as the session is late, I do not see that there is any reason to send it to the Private Bills Committee.


George Taylor: It must go to the committee.


Haughton Lennox: There is no question about that.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the second time'and referred to Standing Committee on Private Bills.

Reasons: Through inadvertence Mr. Becher was granted in 1890 a homestead entry for a quarter-section which had been withheld from settlement on account of its nearness to Edmonton. This entry was in consequence cancelled. The order in council sets forth that Mr. Becher, being under the impression that he would be allowed to retain the land, made improvements and proceeded with the fulfilment of the homestead conditions. It was, therefore, decided that he should be given some compensation for the loss of the land in question, and the order in council provided that Mr. Becher be permitted to

buy an available quarter-section of the class of land open to homestead entry, -at $1.00 per acre. The order in council of the 14th of November, 1908, extended this privilege until January, 1909.
5.	The departmental file shows two applications for the S.W. i of 16-19-20-W. 4th M :	(l). R. Russell applied for cancellation of the previous entry 30th April, 1907. The previous entry was cancelleu in November, 1908. The file does not show what took place after cancellation. Under the regulations then in force the agent would require to give the applicant foir inspection thirty days to make entry, at the end of which time, if not entered for, the land would be made available for the first eligible applicant. (2). C. C. Jordan applied for inspection 25th February, 1910. Ihe agent issued cancellation notices, but this action was taken in error because the land was held under sale by Mr. Becher and not under homestead entry. The cancellation proceedings were therefore annulled.


DISALLOWANCE OF ONTARIO LEGISLATION.
[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day being called :
Robert Laird Borden: Mr. Speaker, I would like to know whether or not there have been any reports or orders in council as to certain legislation of the province of Ontario connected with the development of electrical power and the supplying of such power to the municipalities throughout the province.


Wilfrid Laurier: That is in regard to the disallowance petition P .


Robert Laird Borden: Yes; and if the report of the Minister of Justice has been made and the order in council has been passed whether there would be any objection, to laying them on the table of the House.


Wilfrid Laurier: I do not see any, but I will consult with the minister about it.


NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Robert Laird Borden: I would like to direct the attention of the right hon. Prime Minister to a question that was asked in the Imperial House of Commons by Mr. MacMaster on the 4th April :
Mr. MacMaster (Chertsey, Opp.) asked the Under Secretary for the Colonies which of the governments represented at the Colonial Conference of 1907 had not replied to the request of the Inter-Departmental Committee on the naturalization laws; and whether, seeing the importance of the question, he could do anything to expediate the assembly of V? OLIVER
the subsidiary conference comtemplated in the resolution of the conference of 1907.
The Under-Secretary for the Colonies, Col. Seely, answered as follows :
The governments which have not replied on the question are those of Canada and New Zealand, and the Secretary of State is about to communicate with them further on the subject. The replies from the South African Colonies indicated that, so far as South Africa was concerned, the question-must be left open for the consideration of the Union government and parliament.
I would like to ask the Prime Minister what is the reason of the delay in sending forward the reply alluded to, inasmuch as the subject is one of the greatest possible importance not only to the mother country but to all her Dominions throughout the empire.


Wilfrid Laurier: The very reason is that given by my hon. friend (Mr. R. L. Borden) that the subject is one of very great importance and we thought that it would be a proper subject for discussion at the next imperial conference which would take place next year.


ST. JOHN VALLEY RAILWAY.
Robert Laird Borden: I observe in connection with a conference between certain gentleman in the province of New Brunswick and certain Liberal members of parliament and senators from New Brunswick, with the right hon. Prime Minister (Sir Wilfrid Laurier), the hon Minister of Public Works (Mr. Pugsley) and the hon. Minister of Railways and Canals (Mr. Graham) that the Prime Minister stated that :
Owing to an agreement which he had made some time ago with the leader of the opposition, that there should be no new legislation introduced this session, it would not be possible for him to have a Bill for the operation of the road put through before prorogation, and that part of the transaction would have to stand over until next year.
It is quite true that the Prime Minister intimated to me privately and also across the floor of the House what further legislation he proposed to introduce, but I am bound to say that I did not understand it as an agreement which would prevent the government from bringing in any measure which it deemed to be of public interest and in case it should have been otherwise understood by the Prime Minister, I entirely release him from -any obligation in that regard with respect to this or any other such matter which may be regarded as of public interest.


Wilfrid Laurier: The statement is not exactly accurate. I did not say that there was an agreement between myself and my hon. friend (Mr. R. L. Borden) but

I stated that as we had discussed, as we generally do before the end of the session, the matters that were to be brought forward by the government, and as I stated publicly what legislation we intended to bring in, and as this was not included it could not and would not he taken up.


Robert Laird Borden: I merely wanted to make it plain that the matter is entirely open in so far as I am concerned.



QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE-MR.


Mr. T. W. CROTHERS.: I wish to speak to a question of privilege. In the Toronto ' Globe ' of Friday last, regarding some remarks that I made the evening before, I am
referred to in these words :


Thomas Wilson Crothers: What I said was that I have not much respect for any chief justice appointed by the present administration, and I have nothing to retract in that regard.
To those who heard me on that occasion, or who have sincq read my remarks in ' Hansard,' it is needless to say that I said nothing of the kind. The report was possibly based upon an attempt made by the hon'. Minister of Justice (Mr. Aylesworth) with some warmth, and, I think, with considerable unfairness, an attempt that I think unworthy of the position that he holds,-
Some hon. members. Order, order.


Thomas Wilson Crothers: To turn the words I used-


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: The point of order is raised as to the words used by the hon. member.


Thomas Wilson Crothers: What is the point of order ?


Wilfrid Laurier: The statement that my hon. friend (Mr. Crothers) made that my hon. friend the Minister of Justice (Mr. Aylesworth) used an expression unworthy of the position which he holds.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: If it is unparliamentary I suppose the hon. gentleman could modify it.


Thomas Wilson Crothers: The words I used were ' with an unfairness which I thought was unworthy of the position which he holds.'


William Stevens Fielding: I submit that upon a personal explanation my hon. friend cannot attack an hon. member. He can make the explanation for himself but he should not attack an hon. member.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: Perhaps the hon. member might modify the expression.


Thomas Wilson Crothers: Well, I will leave out that part of it-unworthy of the position
which he holds.' I say that he made an attempt with some warmth and unfairness-
Some hon. members. Order.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: I do not know why the word ' unfairness ' is unparliamentary.
' Unfairness ' is parliamentary.


William Stevens Fielding: I submit that the hon. gentleman would have a perfect right to call attention to what he deems a mistake in the press affecting himself, but he should not take advantage of a personal explanation to reflect upon another member of this House because that would provoke debate. That is my only point in the matter.


Thomas Wilson Crothers: What I was saying was that possibly the words I object to as appearing in the ' Globe ' were based upon what the Minister of Justice had said in the attempt to turn the words I used into a reflection upon the present Chief Justice of Ontario who is a man and a judge above reproach; a man enjoying in a pre-eminent degree the respect and confidence and esteem of everybody. I made this statement in referring to the administration of the patronage system by this government:
Even the judiciary has not been spared the blighting influence of this pernicious system. In many cases in the province of Ontario the county court bench and in some of the other provinces even the high court bench has been prostituted to the necessities of political exigencies.
And last Thursday, the words I used were as follows:
The Minister of the Interior tries to shelter himself behind Chief Justice Howell, of Manitoba. Well, I am not very much concerned about Chief Justice Howell. I have not had the advantage nor disadvantage of an acquaintance with him. But I have lived long enough to know that a chief justiceship bestowed by this administration carries no guarantee against partisanship, and no guarantee for wisdom, humanity, or common every day honesty.
I think, Mr. Speaker, I have a fairly accurate knowledge of the meaning of words. On that occasion. I said just what I meant and meant just what I said; nothing more, nothing less. But what I said did not warrant the statement made in the ' Globe ' newspaper, which I entirely repudiate. I may add that in my humble judgment the sooner we appreciate men by the manhood they display rather than by the positions they hold, the better it will he for the highest weal of this country.



NAVAL SERVICE OF CANADA.

[Stage Direction]
Sir WILFRID LAURIER moved that the House go into Committee to consider the following proposed resolution:
[Stage Direction]
Resolved, That it is expedient in connection with Bill No. 95, An Act respecting the Naval Service of Canada, now before this House, to provide that there shall be a department of the government of Canada which shall be called the Department of the Naval Service, over which the Minister of Marine and Fisheries for the time being shall preside; and that the Governor in Council may appoint an officer to be the deputy head of such department at a salary of $5,000 per annum, and such other officers and clerks as may be requisite for the due administration of such department, at such salaries as, under the Civil Service Amendment Act, 1908, are appropriate to the divisions and subdivisions of the services to which such officers and clerks may be assigned.
He said: I move this with a view of expediting the discussion on the Naval Bill to-morrow. I would like the motion to carry without discussion now and I will give the' explanation to-morrow.
Robert Laird Borden: This is a purely formal step and we will have the discussion to-morrow on the Naval Bill.


Wilfrid Laurier: Yes.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and House; went into committee thereon.
Resolution considered in committee, reported, agreed to, and referred to committee of the Whole on Bill (No. 95).

[Stage Direction]
House in committee on Bill (No. 205) to amend the Civil Service Act.
On section 2. R.S.C. 16, amended as to outside service.
Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Would the minister explain what this means?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The purpose of this clause is to correct certain anomalies that remained in the Act of 1908 and the old Civil Service Act. There is a clause in this Act which makes more difficult the passage of men from the outside service to the inside service. Heretofore they have been able to pass from one service to the other without restriction, but this Act provides that they must serve a term in the outside service before going into the inside service. The Department of Justice having gone over the two Acts carefullv found certain anomalies and recommended this clause.


John Allister Currie: By order in council the members of the inside service are permitted to drill annually with their militia unit, if they belong to the militia. Last year an order in council was passed permitting members of the outside service to do likewise. Is that order still in effect and will the members of the outside service who are militia men be permitted to drill this year without losing time.


Wilfrid Laurier: 


Sir FREDERICK BORDEN.: I know of no change in the order in council.


John Allister Currie: It still holds good.


Frederick William Borden: I presume it is still in force.


Robert Laird Borden: I do not know there will be any great advantage in that. It is the opinion of the Department of Justice, as I understand, that these clauses are at least unnecessary, and might in some cases be found inconsistent or embarrassing- that everything that is to be found there is provided for elsewhere, and therefore it is proposed to repeal them.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is the object of this section, and the clauses mentioned are such as my hon. friend has indicated.


Mr. BLAIN.: I suppose that the minister has consulted the Civil Service Commission as to this legislation and has received their sanction?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Most of these amendments are based on the report of the Civil Service Commission, which is on the table of the House, and they have all been submitted to the commission and approved of.
On section 3-time and place of examination-


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Under the old Act the qualifying and preliminary examinations were held only once a year. Under the Act of 1908 competitive examinations are held twice a year. For certain positions in the outside service, however, qualifying and preliminary examinations have still to be held, and this provides that they shall be held twice a year at the same time as the competitive examinations, and not to be confined any longer to once a year. This has been asked for by the Civil Service Commission and by the public.


Robert Laird Borden: What is ' the portion of the outside service defined by paragraph (b) of section 4 of the said Act? '
Mr. FISHER, Paragraph (b) of section 4 is as follows:
The second or outside departmental division which will comprise officers, clerks and employees of those classes mentioned in schedule B, and the other officers, clerks, and employees included in the Civil Service who are employed otherwise than on the departmental staff at Ottawa.
There have been certain parts of the outside service which in the old days were not included in the departmental staffs, according to the ruling of the Department of Justice. By the Act of 1908 all those who were in the city of Ottawa were brought into the inside service. That Act also provided in section 3 that the outside service shall consist of the rest of the public service. Therefore, according to the

decision of the Department of Justice, paragraph (b) of the original Act is no longer effective or needed.


Mr. ROCHE.: Are there any special examinations held in addition to these regular examinations?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: At any time, when a department asks the Civil Service _ Commission for an officer of special qualifications, not a routine officer, the commission may issue an advertisement of the need of such an officer, specifying the qualifications required, and announcing a competitive examination for the office. Then that examin-nation is held.
On section 4-transfer from outside to inside service


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Am I not correct in understanding that this clause gives the ministers of the Crown the opportunity of bringing in from the outside service-by the back door instead of by the front door?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If my hon. friend will refer to section 50 of the old Civil Service Act, he will find that it says:
An exchange of positions between two officers serving in two different departments, or in different divisions of the same department, and the filling of a vacancy in the department by a transfer from another division of the same department or from another department, may be authorized by the Governor in Council to be made without examination of either officer.
Then subsection 3 says:
No person shall be transferred from the outside to the inside division whose age at the date of his first appointment exceeded 35 years.
When the amending Act of 1908 was passed that clause was left unrepealed. The Justice Department has given its opinion that under that clause anybody may be transferred from the outside service to the inside service. Some occasions arose of propositions for such transfers. The Treasury Board discussed these, and very sparingly indeed allowed them to be not only justifiable, but in the public interest that this should be done; and when we came to consider the question, and discussed it, we drew up the amendment proposed in section 4 of this Bill. We restrict such transfers to officers who have served for at least three years in the outside service, so that the head of a department might have an opportunity to know the qualifications of such an officer before undertaking to transfer him to the inside service.
Furthermore, that it should be done on the report of the deputy, and as you will see from section 4 it should not be made to the third division of the inside service, Hon. gentlemen will remember that the
third divison of the inside service is defined as a division where routine and other elementary work is done. It was not considered t-o be at all likely or practically to be possible that a person in the outside service should have the particular qualifications for the kind of work, although it might usually be thought that he should display qualifications for the higher order of work partly from his experience and knowledge and his service, partly, perhaps, by the fact that he had shown extraordinary capacity and personal qualifications. We therefore decided that in the first place no officer should be transferred until he had been three years in the outside service; secondly, that no officer should be transferred to the lower inside service, where purely routine qualifications are necessary, and then in the following section we provide machinery whereby the transfer shall be still more safeguarded. It is an amendment to restrict transfer from the outside to the inside service although it does not absolutely do away with such transfers. That is one of the objects of this Act dealing with many others which came under our observation.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Are we to understand that the men who come in from the outside service have to undergo the same examination as the men who are coming in by the front door as it were?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: It is not necessary then for the men who have been in the outside service for three years to undergo any similar examination to those who are going into the inside service, but who have not already been in the outside service.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: At present, before this Act becomes law, a man may be in the outside service for a week, and be transferred to the inside service without examination. This provision restricts it; he must have been at least three years in the outside service and must have been able to show to his superior officers qualifications that are not only equivalent to an examination, but in many respects better than an examination; in the second place he shall have to go into the higher division where these qualifications and experience are necessary to qualify him for it. In the third place, as will be seen by examination of the next clause, he has to come in by report of the deputy minister that his qualifications and his services in the outside service are such as, if available in the inside service, would entitle him to the position to which he is to be transferred.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Who makes that examination?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: There is no examination. It is the report of the deputy minister on

the qualifications of the man his experience and his knowledge of the business of the department.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: I cannot help feeling that these clauses are deserving of the severest criticisms, and I am surprised to know that the old Act allowed members of the outside service to come into the inside service without undergoing the same examination as others who were coming in as servants of the people. I would be surprised indeed, to think that the minister would allow men to go from the outside service to the inside service without proper examination, and I think the minister would be wise to have that looked into.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: Have they ever been examined when they entered the outside service?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: In some cases. Certain branches of the outside service used to require what was called a qualifying examination, and they do still but not all of them. In the post office department, in certain branches of the Custom Department, and in certain branches of the Inland Revenue Department they do. My own department also requires examinations for veterinaries who are entering the outside service.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: That has been a very easy way of getting into the outside service and from that into the inside service, and it looks that way yet. As I understand it, those in the inside service, now have to pass a pretty severe examination which I believe is all right. But I cannot understand why one should be taken from the outside service, even although he has had some experience, and on the advice and at the command of the deputy minister should enter the inside service, or why he should be in any different position from those who enter the inside -service by way of examination.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Under the old law there was no restriction at all. I may give an instance of the kind of thing. There was an officer in the outside service, I think in the Finance Department, in one of the Receiver General's offices, a gentleman who had shown a very considerable capacity and qualification for his work. There was an officer required in the inside service in the office of that department- in Ottawa. It was obvious that this gentleman with his experience in the outside service was eminently qualified and fitted for the position. Such an officer was brought here to Ottawa and put into the inside service. He had been some years on the outside service, I do not know whether he had been three years or not, but if this amendment passes, he would require to have been three years in the outside service before


Sydney Arthur Fisher: he could be brought in. He would require to be brought into a part of the service where his experience and knowledge in the outside service would fit him for the position. I may say quite frankly that an experience of three years at least in the outside service, under the observation of his superior officers, and with the deputy minister possessing a knowledge of what he has done and what he is able to do, is looked upon and accepted as being as good as a competitive examination. Under the old law, they -could be appointed in one service on one day and be appointed to the other service on the other. No such appointment has been made since the passing of the Act last year, and we do not wish to make any such, but we have placed here restrictions and safeguards, which in our judgment seem to be sufficient. I may say that since the Act of 1908 there have been only a very few, I think less than half a dozen, who have been so transferred in the two years.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: I thought we had a Civil Service Act that was really more serviceable than it is. As it is the back door is wide open and the front door is practically closed, or at least the men who come in by the front door have to undergo an examination, while the men who enter by the back door are political appointees of this government. After they have been three years in the outside service, then the deputy heads of the department- can overrule the commissioners and put them into other departments at their will. You cannot call that civil -service reform, surely.


Richard Blain: Has that point received the sanction and approval of the Civil Service Commission Board of Examiners. In other words, are the board perfectly satisfied that their duties should be taken-over by the deputy minister and that, instead of the board giving the examinations, the deputy minister is to be the examiner under this Act?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I can only say in regard to that that the board and myself and my deputy minister discussed this whole question, and eventually this clause was evolved. I believe that the commission consider it a sufficient safeguard.


Richard Blain: Was it at the suggestion of the commission themselves?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The commission did not make any definite suggestion. They discussed it from various points of view, as I had in dealing with them. I went over the whole of the amendments with the commission and the commission have said to me, that the amendments as proposed here were on the whole satisfactory.


Haughton Lennox: Could an officer of the outside service, under this clause, he transferred to a different branch of the inside service, or must he be transferred in the same department? For instance, the minister spoke of officers in the Receiver General's office being transferred to the Finance Department here. That would be a transfer within the same department. But could a person, in the outside of, say, the Post Office Department be transferred to the Public Works Department ip. Ottawa under this clause?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think that under the clause that might be, though that was not the intention. I should be quite willing to consider whether words could not be introduced which would provide that an officer, if transferred from the outside service to the inside, should be transferred to similar duties. I would not like to have it confined absolutely to the same department. For instance, a man might be an excellent engineer in the Public Works Department, and it might- be desirable to transfer him to a position on the engineering staff of the railway department. The words of section 5 are restrictive, but they may not cover the point referred to by my hon. friend. Section 5 provides that:
No transfer shall be made, under the authority of this section, to the inside service except upon report of the deputy head that the duties performed in the outside service by the officer to be transferred are such as, if performed in the inside service, would entitle him to the position to which he is to be transferred, and that he is qualified for the duties of such position.


Haughton Lennox: I think the minister (Mr. Fisher) is right in saying that it might be better not to confine transfers to the same department, as there might be a change of department with similar duties. As to what the minister said a little while ago, that experience took the place of examination and guaranteed faithful and efficient service as well as examination could, that could not be carried out unless the work to which the -officer was transferred were a similar class of work.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I appreciate that.


Haughton Lennox: Another point: This section 4 provides:

and no transfer shall be made to the third division of the inside service.
Does that mean no transfer of any kind?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It means no transfer from the outside service.


Haughton Lennox: I do not think that is clear.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It ought to be; that was the intention. The whole clause refers to transfers from the outside service to the
inside. When it says: 'No transfer shall be made to the third division of the inside service', that does not mean a transfer from another place in the inside service.


Haughton Lennox: It might not.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If my hon. friend would refer to section 50 of the present Act he will see that it provides:
An exchange of positions between two officers serving in different departments or in different positions of the same department, and the filling of a vacancy in one department by a transfer from one division in the same department, or from another department, may be authorized by the Governor in Council to be made without examination of either officer.
That all deals with the inside service- at least, we thought it did. The Department of Justice declares that it affects the outside service as well, and that under that a man may be transferred from the outisde service to the inside service. The amendments here proposed are in the nature of restrictions in regard to that transaction. This section 4 is to amend section 50 by 'adding thereto' the words enacted. And the same is true of section 5. I will consult with regard to the point raised, but the intention was as I have indicated.


Haughton Lennox: It was because it is an addition to section 50 that it ought to be made clearer and more specific.


Charles Murphy: Would the introduction of the 'word 'such'-'such' transfer-be sufficient?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would be glad do insert that.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: It sems to me that the best feature of this Civil Service Commission was that it was to take this work out of the hands of politicans. But this seems to be a case of power given not to the commission but to the minister and his deputy.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not the minister.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: When you say the deputy minister, of course you mean the minister-no question about that; they are one and the same so far as this is con- * cemed. Certainly we do not want any repetition in relation to the Civil Service of what occurred in Ottawa during the election. We thought that the instituting of this Civil Service Commission would remedy such things as the Prime Minister and the member for Ottawa going out and -I do not want to use too strong a word-influencing the civil servants of this city. The appointment of the commission was a step in the right direction, but I am afraid this is a step in the other direction. The matter should be taken out of the hands

of the minister and the deputy and the, commission should be given full control.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think that the restrictions provided in this section are such as 'to take the matter entirely out of the hands of the minister and to leave even the deputy minister a very restricted choice. He must declare in a formal report that an officer who is employed in the outside service has performed duties which, if performed in the inside service, would entitle 'him to the position, and must also declare that the officer is efficient and properly qualified. It is only on that report that the minister acts. I do not think there is anybody in the service or among the public who mistrusts the deputy ministers.


Richard Blain: How are they appointed?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: By order in council.


Richard Blain: On whose recommendation?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The ministers choose their own deputies-that is a well known faot, and it is the rule that has applied ever since the organization of the departments. At the same time, I might go out of office to-morrow and the deputy minister of my department remain. I think in a majority of the departments to-day the deputies were not chosen by the ministers now in office.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Why not leave it to the commissioners instead of to the deputy ministers? Why should this power be given outside the commission?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think the answer is very obvious. In the case of a transfer, the deputy minister must have been supervising the work of the officer for at least three years. Therefore, he knows all about him, and the commission do not know.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Why cannot he explain that to the commission?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: They would simply report on his advice. What would be the object of that? The deputy minister is a man who has been in touch with the officer, and it is in consequence of having been in touch with him that he believes him to be the proper man to be transferred to the place in the inside service. His report would have to be a drastic Teport to be acted upon. It is against the public interest that obstruction should be put in the way of bringing in a good and efficient officer in the outside service to discharge similar duties in the inside service.


Mr. DANIEL.: Is it the intention that the report of the deputy minister should be in writing?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Oh, yes.


John Waterhouse Daniel: Is it not so provided in this Bill?


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: Mr. FISHER I move that the words ' in writing ' be added after the word ' report.'


[Stage Direction]
Amendment agreed to.
Mr. HUGHES.: Has this Bill been submitted to the Civil Service Commissioners?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, they have considered the amendments satisfactory.
On section 5,


Samuel Hughes: If a man appointed to the outside service has anything in him he ought to make good in two years, and why should not two years in the outside service entitle him to enter the inside service as well as three years.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We wish to safeguard the inside service so that nobody would be appointed to the outside service simply with a view of getting into the inside service afterwards without passing a competitive examination. Since the Act _ of 1908 the government have refused to bring men in in that way. I think I am correct in saying that nobody has been transferred from the outside to the inside service who has been appointed to the outside service since the passage of the Act of 1908.


Samuel Hughes: Then it has not been abused?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We have been safeguarding it with the greatest care, because our own principle of Civil Service reform is embodied in the Act of 1908 and we wish to live up to it.


Samuel Hughes: If there has been no abuse in the past, what is the danger?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We wish to make it statutory so as to remove temptation from ourselves as well as from those who may come after us. I do not think that three years' probation in the outside service is any too long, and the man who knows he will have to serve three years in the outside service is not likely to enter with the ulterior object of getting into the inside service.


Samuel Hughes: Is membership in the outside service that much inferior to the inside service?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not necessarily, but we have adopted the principle that the inside service should be entered only by way of competitive examination, and we wish to safeguard any exceptions to that. At the present time a member of the outside service could be brought into the inside service on a few day's notice.


Samuel Hughes: And none, have been so brought in.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: None have been brought in who have been appointed to the outside service since the Act of 1908.


Samuel Hughes: In case this government should pass to its reward there may be a number of gentlemen in the outside service capable of filling positions in the inside service, and they would be debarred for a period of three years.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


Richard Blain: The weak point of it is that it gives power to the deputy minister which should be vested in the Civil Service Board, and that is not in the interest of the public service or of the country. A deputy minister may have a favourite in the department who may be appointed without examination, although others might be equally efficient or more efficient. If experience qualifies a man for promotion, experience ought to qualify him to pass his examination. Even a minister may not have a deaf ear to the request of his deputy for the promotion of favourites. When parliament is making an effort to take the service out of politics, it is in the public interest that the Civil Service Board and not the deputy ministers should have the power of promotion.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The deputy ministers are not partisan.


Richard Blain: They are appointed by the ministers.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The deputy ministers have a very high standing in the service and in the opinion of the community. During the discussion of the Act of 1908 there was a universal tribute paid to the deputy ministers by both sides of this House. I myself spoke very highly of them. A great many of them have been appointed by our predecessors, and in one or two cases gentlemen who have risen from the lower ranks of the service and who were originally appointed by our predecessors were appointed deputy ministers by us, and, although these gentlemen may have their political predelictions, they were excellent officers and showed themselves non-partisan. There is no .doubt tiha^ those who hold the honourable position of deputy minister are imbued with the idea of getting the best officers they can for their respective departments, and if they select a man from the outside service you may be sure it is because he has exceptional qualifications. Nobody, not even the commissioners, can so well know the qualifications of a man as can the deputy. It is for that reason we have left it in their hands. It was suggested by one hon. gentle*man opposite that the commissioners should find out from the deputy ministers about the qualifications of any officers, but that would not avail, because the commissioners could only record what the deputies told them.


Mr. GOODEVE.: This amendment will, in my opinion, cause a restriction which is not in the best interests of the service. We know that the great railroad corpora-tons are constantly finding young men in different branches who have developed certain qualifications which specially fit them to take promotion in other special branches of the railway service. It must be that in a service so extensive as the Dominion Civil Service, especially outside service, men will drift into particular branches of the service who develop qualifications which make it desirable that they should be promoted to other offices than those which they fill. If you insert the clause in this Bill as proposed, that they must be transferred to perform duties of like character to those which they have been performing, you limit the men in the service to a particular branch and you tie them down to machine method which is most objectionable, in that it takes from them all individuality and initiative.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: There is certainly a great deal of force in what the hon. gentleman says, but there are two ways in which the restriction can be overcome. A man specially gifted for one branch of the inside service, may enter it by competitive examination, even though he is in the outside service; and in the second place, clause 21 of the Act of 1908 says, that if a deputy head reports that the knowledge and ability necessary for a position are wholly or in part professional or otherwise peculiar, a person may be appointed to the service without competitive examination, and without refernce to the age limit.


Samuel Hughes: Could he get in without the approval of the Civil Service Commission?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: He would have to get a certificate from them, but he could be appointed in that way. We are trying to reach the point where we wish to place some safeguards around the inside service and to make_ it exceptional that a man shall be transferred from the outside service to the inside service.


Samuel Hughes: One consolation is that the minister sees the early defeat of his government inasmuch as he has not abused the Act himself, he is paving the way so as to prevent his successors from filling the offices in the inside service from the outside service.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have not a telescope strong enough to see the day that my hon. friend hopes for.


Arthur Samuel Goodeve: If there was a man specially qualified in the outside service, he would be able to enter the inside service?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, just the same as an outsider altogether.


Arthur Samuel Goodeve: I have before me a petition from the outside civil servants of British Columbia, which was sent to the government through the right hon. the First Minister. That petition contains this clause:
We therefore beg that under the new order of things which we trust will soon be established, any person now in the service who may be recommended for promotion to a higher class or division shall be required to pass no examination other than an examination on the duties of the office for which he has been recommended.
That bears on the point I have brought to the attention of the minister, and I believe that the outside service make a very reasonable suggestion in that respect. There may be a thoroughly practical man for a position such as we are at present discussing, who would not care to enter a preliminary examination on certain mathematical and classical lines, such as he might be required to pass to get into the service. That occurs every day in law and medicine. Many good men are prohibited from taking up those studies simply because of the fact that in their earlier days they did not pass the necessary examinations. It seems that you are putting the same restriction and difficulty in their way here. The minister has said that really under the amendment if they are prepared to leave the service, go into a competitive examination and start over again, they may be able to qualify for such a position.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not think it would be necessary to resign their positions in the service to enter competitive examination. Men in the service may enter the competitive examination for other positions.


Arthur Samuel Goodeve: They may do that but they have to enter a competitive examination based probably upon a particular qualification. If they have to pass an examination on the duties of the office it might be all right, but if they have to pass the regular examination before entering into the service it will debar these men.
On section 6, temporary transfer from outside to inside service.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: This is due to the fact that occasionally we wish to bring some officer from the outside to Ottawa to supplement the staff in the office here. I have an instance in my own department where, in the veterinary branch, there was some Mr. FISHER.
work which was only temporary. There was an officer in the outside service *whom we wished to bring here for the purpose of doing that work instead of hiring some one else. This enables that to be done for temporary work, but the individual does not get any status in the inside service.
On section 7, temporary clerks for decennial census.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: This is for the purpose of enabling us to appoint the census clerks to compile the returns of the census. That work has generally gone over four or five years, but we hope that in the next census it will be done within three years, and I have therefore limited it to three years. It is necessary that we should have about 150 people employed temporarily. Under the present law temporary employment would only be for six months, and there would be no means of doing the census work in that time. We make this special arrangement for census employees, we shall only employ them for three years, but we subject them to the rules and regulations of a competitive examination before they are taken on for that work. They are still temporary, and it gives them no status in the service after the work is finished.


Samuel Hughes: Has the minister taken any steps to lay down the lines upon which the census has to be taken? What plan has he come to for taking the names of all those who are living in the New England states, and who have gone from the maritime provinces and Quebec?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We have no such object in view.


William Roche: Have there been any of these special competitive examinations held up to the present time?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: You refer to those which were spoken of by the hon. member for Kootenay?


William Roche: Yes.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


William Roche: When was the last one held?	.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I could not say. There are several referred to in the commissioner's report of last year, and I think there have been some recently,, but there is now an advertisement for a general one which takes place in May, and there are one or two special examinations for special positions. I could not give the information, but I can find it out from the Civil Service Commission, and let my hon. friend have it.


William Roche: How is it determined as to who shall compete in these examinations?

I can understand that if any person has written on a previous examination and failed, and the government are in need of an employee, they may send him word, and give him an opportunity of trying this special examination. But, how ia it determined in the case of persons who have not written, who shall be sent for to undergo this special examination? I am informed that such examinations have been held in the past, that a person who has not been in the service has been sent for by the commission, has been subjected to examination, has passed the examination, and has secured a position.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not know what case my hon. friend refers to, but I think there must have been something particular about it if it has occurred. The special examination such as I had in mind was an examination for a particular office which required special qualifications. These examinations are advertised all over Canada just the same as the general examination, and they are competitive just the same as the general examinations are. Anybody and everybody may see this advertisement, and write for the examinatioin. I do not know of any such case as that which my hon. friend describes, and I cannot quite understand under the law how such a case could have occurred. The examinations are always advertised and anybody wlm complies with all the conditions is eligible.


John Waterhouse Daniel: Are these competitors to be chosen in accordance with the excellence of the marks they get?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, in the order of merit.


Glenlyon Campbell: Is this with regard to the officials that will be employed to take the census?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No, those are employed outside of it. This section 7 refers to employees who are to compile the information collected by the enumerators, all over the country. It will come here in the form of schedules, and these men will compile it.


Glenlyon Campbell: Have the census enumerators to pass any examination?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.


Glenlyon Campbell: Not even a political examination, of any kind as to their party allegiance? '


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.
On section 8-schedule B amended-


Sydney Arthur Fisher: This is the change which the Minister of Customs desired to make. Schedule B of the old Act placed the salaries payable to Collectors of Customs at from $300 to $4,000. The Minister of Cus-232J
toms desired to make the scale from $300 to $4,600.
On section 9-salaries of Inland Revenue officials-


Mr. TEMPLEMAN.: This simply increases the minimum salary of collectors of Inland Revenue and probationary excisemen from $500 to $600.


Richard Blain: Does the maximum remain as it was?


William Templeman: No. Under almost every head the maximum is increased by from $300 to $400-inspectors, from $2,500 to $3,000; collectors, from $2,400 to $2,800; special class excisemen, that is, the chief officers in charge of distilleries, from $1,800 to $2,200. The increases will of course be given at the rate of about $50 a year until the maximum is reached. This just, gives us power to pay our outside service a little higher salaries than they 'are getting.


Richard Blain: What will it amount to in the first year?


William Templeman: Very little indeed; so little that after making the calculation we did not think it necessary to take any additional vote. All salaries under the proposed minimum will, I presume, be immediately increased to $600, and then they go up annually by a percentage increase until they reach the maximum of their respective classes, the percentage of increase in the lower classes being greater than that in the higher. The amount of money involved in these changes will be very little, as the increases only take place annually.
On section 11-salaries of assistant postmasters-


Richard Blain: Is there any examination for these officers?


Mr. LEMIEUX.: Yes; they are obliged to pass a qualifying examination.
On section 13,


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would like to insert section 8 along with the other sections mentioned here. I see it deals also with salaries.
On section 14,


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The object of doing that is to take out 38, which was included in the old Act. We are substituting a new 38 at the end of this Act.


Richard Blain: May I ask the hon. minister if these increases were all recommended by the Civil Service Commission?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: These increases are in the different departments of the outside service. I do not think the Civil Service Coin-

mission dealt with that matter. That is a question of general policy.


Richard Blain: Are we to understand that the Civil Service Commission were not consulted with respect to these increases?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: These increases were discussed on a resolution in the House at some length, and were passed by the House, and this Bill is based on that resolution.


Richard Blain: What about the resolution itself before it came in the House for discussion? Was it submitted to the Civil Service Commission? Salaries and appointments are very closely connected, and it seems to me that this is a matter that might receive some consideration at the hands of the government. As there is an effort to get these appointments out of politics, I think increases of salary have a good deal to do with the matter, and when resolutions for salary increases are submitted to the House, the Civil Service Commission should be consulted. What objection would the minister see to that?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think that is a matter of general policy, for which the government has to be responsible. There has been a request, and I think my hon. friend has endorsed it on various occasions, from the outside service to be considered in the way of increases of salary, and my hon. friend the Minister of Customs, the Minister of Inland Revenue and the Postmaster General, after consideration, have decided that they can meet that request to the extent] of these additions. The resolution was laid before the House, discussed by the House, and decided upon by the House, and now this Act is carrying it into force.
On section 15,


Sydney Arthur Fisher: In the Act of 1908 the word ' year ' was used without any definition; sometimes it was determined to be a' calendar year and sometimes a fiscal year. As all the salaries of the civil service take effect from the beginning of the fiscal year, it was thought advisable to define it clearly. In the second part, it provides that when a clerk had passed his examination for the second division, he could not be appointed to the third division. Now it happened that the second division was filled and a person having passed that examination wanted to be appointed to the third division. We thought it rather invidious to say that they could not do so, so we have thought it should be said that they may be appointed if they so desire.


Mr. BRADBURY.: I notice that the increases are for the higher Glasses. I do not Mr. FISHER.
notice any attempt to increase the salaries of the postmen.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Is my hon. friend going back to the question of increasing the salaries?


George Henry Bradbury: I want to refer to the general principle of increasing salaries. I notice there has been no attempt to increase the salaries of the poorer officials.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is not correct.


George Henry Bradbury: Well, I do not notice anything here about it.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If my hon. friend will take the schedules which are amended by these schedules, he will find that the increased salaries are through the whole list from top to bottom.


George Henry Bradbury: Do they include the postal carriers, the men who deliver letters in the street?


Rodolphe Lemieux: My hon. friend is aware that last year I increased the salaries of the letter-carriers from a maximum of $2 to $2.75. I have met the letter-carriers association since, and they said they were most pleased and thanked me profusely for the substantial increase I gave them. I met two or three of them in the streets after the Bill was passed, and they said, we can marry now; we have a salary sufficient to enable us to marry.


George Henry Bradbury: What increases did you promise for next year?


Rodolphe Lemieux: Without making any promise, and speaking for myself, for tho question has yet to come before the government, but I think I have the full support of the Minister of Agriculture, I propose next year to bring under the Civil Service Act, into the inside service, the clerks in the larger city offices and the railway mail clerks. That will mean a readjustment of their salaries. They will have a chance of getting better salaries.


George Henry Bradbury: These are the classes I am referring to.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Last year, I not only increased the salaries of the letter-earners, but aJso the salaries of the lower classes, stampers, sorters and labourers. Now, for the middle classes, I shall have to study! the merits of each class and adjust their salaries accordingly.


George Henry Bradbury: I do not suppose there is any class of servants that is more entitled to good pay than the mail clerks. These men are running great risks all the time, and they deserve good salaries, and ought to be treated well by the government. I am very glad to see that the min-

ister contemplates making that provision for them.
On section 20:	salaries of temporary
clerks.


Richard Blain: Will this be an increase to the temporary employees?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It might be. Under the old Act, every temporary clerk had to go in the third division. But sometimes we wanted a man of superior quality who had to be paid according to the salary of the second division.
On section 21-no additional payment to permanent officers for any service-proviso as to annual salaries from several departments to officers in outside service.


Mr. J. HAGGART.: That is the law already, is it not?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It is intended to he the law, but the Justice Department has advised us that section 38 is not iron-clad, and this is intended to make it so. It was drawn by the Department of Justice with that intention.
Bill reported.
At one o'clock, House took recess.
House resumed at three o'clock.



POST OFFICE ACT AMENDMENT.

[Stage Direction]
Bill (No. 197) to amend the Post Office Act.-Mr. Lemieux-read the second time, and the House went into committee thereon.
On section 1,
Rodolphe Lemieux: By the Bill to amend the Civil Service Act passed this morning the superintendents of the railway mail service are taken out of the Post Office Act, and are brought under the Civil Service Act. The present Bill is necessary in order to bring about that change.


David Henderson: Before the Bill is reported there is a very simple amendment which I want to propose. Some years ago the Postmaster General reduced the postage on drop letters in cities where there is a city delivery from two cents to one cent. Prior to that change the drop letters had been two cents in the cities and one cent in the rural districts. I contended then that if the Postmaster General was giving a reduction in cities, and as the revenues of the country were buoyant there was no reason why the rural sections should not receive a corresponding reduction. I do not think it is necessary for me to go further than to read the promise of the Postmaster General given in this House in 1908 when I moved the amendment
along the line I have indicated. The Postmaster General then said:
I would ask my hon. friend (Mr. Henderson) to be good enough to withdraw his amendment and to leave the rural section of the country to my tender mercy. Let us first try the one cent drop letter, and if as a result the revenue increases, as I feel quite certain it will, then I shall give my hon. friend's amendment very serious consideration. Will the hon. gentleman trust me for one year or perhaps two?
I at once acceded to his request, and I said:
I would gladly take the suggestion of the Postmaster General if I were sure he would be Postmaster General next year.
Well, he has continued to be Postmaster General, and I feel I can come before him now with a good deal of confidence. Then, after I read my amendment the Postmaster General said:
Will my hon. friend leave this as a notice of motion until next year? I fear it is I who am the Conservative to-night and that my hon. friend is the Radical, for we must not all at once revolutionize the whole postal system. Let us wait for a year or two to see what the result of the present reduction will be and if the increase of the past few -ears continues it is my intention to give further postal reductions. Of course, as to that I would have to consult my colleagues.
In answer to that I said:
After having heard the very strong assurance which the Postmaster General has given us, I think that my purpose will possibly be more likely to be accomplished by not pressing my amendment than by pressing it. I have no desire to embarrass the Postmaster General in this matter. I might perhaps gain a little political capital by pressing it; but my desire is to get the reduction in postage, which is of more importance than any petty party advantage I might gain. Therefore after the Postmaster General's statement, I am quite willing to allow the matter to stand over.
Then comes an important statement made by the Postmaster General:
I can assure my hon. friend that my promise to take the matter into very serious consideration is not a Vain promise, and m.y hon. friend may remind me of it at any time. I am only too pleased in postal matters to give the best possible facilities to the people; and if any further reduction can be given, which is reasonable and acceptable to the government and the House, I shall certainly bow before public opinion.
In accordance with the suggestion of the Postmaster General given two years ago I now remind him of his promise; a promise which I scarcely see how he can get over at this time, I having waited almost two years for its fulfilment. It needs no argument to show that the country districts are entitled to a similar reduction in

postage to that given in the cities. There is no letter-carrier delivery in the rural section, and consequently the government is not put to that expense as in cities, and that was my strong plea why the rural sections should get the benefit of the reduction as did the cities. A great many of the merchants in the smaller towns send out circulars to their customers and these circulars being dropped into the post office they are delivered from the same office without expense to the government. The reduction would be a great benefit to the business community as it would also be to doctors, and other professional men' who send their accounts through the post office. I, therefore, move:
That section 48 of the Post Office Act as amended by section 1 of chapter 53 of the statutes of 1908, be amended by adding thereto the words:
' except that in cases where there is no
delivery by letter-carriers the rate shall be half a cent per ounce, which shall also be prepaid by postage stamps/
I do not desire to force this amendment on the government; of course I know I cannot do that; I simply appeal to the Postmaster General to do something that I think is fair, and reasonable to the rural sections, and now that he has had the matter under his serious consideration for two years I hope that he will be able to meet the request which at that time he endorsed. I have no doubt that in his usual spirit of fair play to the rural sec~ tions as well as to the cities he will accept my amendment in the interests of the country.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Before answering my hon. friend I wish to submit that the amendment is irrelevant to the question before the House. If the hon. gentleman refers to Bourinot's Parliamentary Procedure, page 403 and subsequent pages he will find that:
An amendment which is not relevant to the question at issue shall not be taken into consideration.
Sir Erskine May lays it down as ' an imperative rule that every amendment must be relevant to the question on which the amendment is proposed-except in the case of amendments moved to the question for the Speaker's leaving the chair for the Committee of Supply or Ways and Means.' A motion having been made to declare Michael *Davitt incapable of being elected or returned as a member, it was proposed to amend the same by substituting an address to the Crown for a free pardon; but the Speaker promptly interposed and pointed out that such an amendment was inadmissible as it had no relation to the question before the House, but should form the subject of a distinct motion, after notice given in the usual manner.


David Henderson: I do not wish to evade the question at all, but I think it is not in order and if.my hon. friend can find his way clear to bring it up regularly, I would be only too pleased to answer him, but at the present time I say it is not relevant, and I ask for the decision of the chairman on the point.


Frederick William Borden: There is a note at the bottom of page 444 which says that it is quite relevant.


David Henderson: The Bill before the House is a Bill to amend the Post Office Act.
Mr: LEMIEUX. To repeal a section.


David Henderson: Practically to amend the Post Office Act.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Of course.


David Henderson: I am simply proposing a second amendment to the Post Office Act. I think, Mr. Chairman, that if you rule my amendment out of order you will be obliged to rule the minister's amendment out of order also, because they are exactly of the same character. I am not moving an amendment to his Bill, I am moving an amendment to the Post Office Act, which is the subject before the House at the present time. I had no doubt in my own mind that the amendment I have proposed was quite in order. I never thought anything else and I hope you will so regard it, Mr. Chairman.


Mr. DEPUTY  SPEAKEE@: There is nothing in the Bill No 197 that indicates to me exactly what section 1 refers to but the title of the Bill is ' An Act to amend the Post Office Act.' I do not think I would be justified in excluding the amendment offered by the hon. member for Hal-ton (Mr. Henderson.)


Rodolphe Lemieux: Well, Mr. Chairman, under these circumstances, I must say to the hon. gentleman (Mr. Henderson) that I would not feel justified in accepting his amendment, not that I have no sympathy with the rural section of the community, but I think that since the postal rate has been reduced on drop letters, the department has been giving the rural sections of the country an evidence of its good will and of its desire to improve the postal service. The other day I answered a question in the House as to the cost of rural mail delivery which is solely for the benefit of the rural section of the country. The cost of rural delivery is certainly large and will become larger and larger every year. This is benefiting the rural section of the country whose interests my hon. friend has specially at heart. As regards the rate, I do not think that the postal rate in Canada as compared to other countries is high. On the contrary I have here a memo showing

that the rate in Canada is lower than in many other leading postal countries. Take, for instance, England; the lowest rate on a letter is one penny or two cents; in Germany one and three-quarters cents; in France, ten centimes, or two cents; in the United States, the same as in Canada- that is two cents for an ordinary letter passing from one post office to another and one cent for drop letters. The rates on correspondence in Canada are, taken as a whole, lower than those of any other country. In all respects postage rates in Canada are as low as in any other country, and newspaper rates are lower than in any other country. Newspapers go from one part of the Dominion to the remotest post office, that is to say from Halifax to Dawson, for one-quarter of a cent per pound, if sent from publisher to subscriber. There is besides a special concession to rural districts since weekly newspapers, which are published chiefly in villages and towns, are delivered, within a circular area eighty miles in diameter, free of postage altogether. During the last two years the department has been pursuing steadily the idea of lowering postage rates and extending the mail services. All that entails some considerable-I would not say loss-but charge upon our revenue and the benefit accrues mostly to the rural sections of the country. When the present government came into power it found the postage rates on letters within the Dominion three cents per ounce, and the rate within the British empire five cents per half ounce. To-day, inland rates are two cents per ounce, which is a reduction of more than 33J per cent on postage paid by Canadian citizens for letters circulating within the Dominion. The rate within the British empire, owing to the initiative of Sir Wm. Mulock, has also been reduced, and you can now send a letter from Canada to New Zealand for a penny. This has been quite a boon for all concerned. Coupled with these reductions in rates has been a steady expansion in the service. Between 1896 and 1909, the number of post offices has increased from 9,103 to 12,479, an increase of more than 37 per cent. The number of post offices through which money can be transmitted by postal order has increased from 1,310 to 10,317, or nearly eight times as many as in 1896. The vast extent of the increase in the mail service is shown by the mileage of annual travel. There is an increase under that head of nearly fifty per cent. This increase in accommodation has, in spite of economy and the business methods of the department, augmented the expenditure from $4,706,887.84, in 1896, to $9,000,000, in round figures, in 1909. This is an increase of nearly $4,500,000, the expenditure being not far from double what it was [DOT] in 1896. Fortunately, the department has been able
to reap the usual compensations ot extended facilities and good management, and has thus been able to convert a deficit into a surplus, and with that surplus we intend to still further extend the postal facilities in the country. I want to show by provinces what is being spent every year out of the revenue drawn from each province by the Post Office Department. I wish to show the great expansion in the service in every province. In Ontario we spent 80 per cent of the revenue drawn from that province. While, in 1896, the total number of post offices west of Lake Superior, except British Columbia, was less than 800, since 1896 we have opened nearly 3,000 post offices. All that involves a large expenditure for salaries of postmasters, establishment of postal routes and rural mail delivery. We must 'be careful not to decrease the revenue of the department to the extent of my hon. friend wishes. After all one cent a letter is a very low rate, and the postal rate in Canada is the lowest in the world.


John Allister Currie: The former rate on drop letters was two cents in cities, and one cent in the country where letters were not delivered by letter carriers. The minister in his wisdom, and I think it was wise, reduced the rate in cities to one cent. But if there was any merit in the argument advanced before that it cost twice as much to handle a letter in the cities as in the country, I cannot see how the proposal of the hon. member (Mr. Henderson) can be rejected. For many years the Post Office Department charged two cents for drop letters in the city just as for a letter sent to any place. The country post offices had a rate of one cent for a drop letter. The suggestion is that since the rate in cities has been brought down to one cent the country post offices should get a half cent rate. No great expense is involved, and I do not think the country would suffer.


John Waterhouse Daniel: But my recollection is 'that the old drop letter rate in cities was one cent which was raised to two cents, and every one living in cities at that time thought this was rather a backward than a forward step and objected to it very strenuously. Then the rate was reduced to the old rate. I presume the post office has not lost any money by the reduction in the city rate.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I am quite sure we have not lost through the reduction in the drop letter rate in cities, on the contrary, we have done a very good business. This is because there is such a dense population and such industrial activity in 'cities. If we could reduce the rate in the Tural districts there would be a loss of revenue.

We are doing a great deal now to improve the postal service in the rural sections, and really, I do not think my hon. friend should insist. The one cent rate is no discrimination, it is the same rate although, of course, in the rural sections they have not delivery by letter-carriers. Then, we are slowly but surely establishing the rural mail delivery and each rural mail box costs money. I take the hon. member for Halton as a witness to the advantage of rural mail delivery. I passed through his constituency last year and I had there evidence of the very satisfactory servic.e given that county under the rural mail delivery system. Passing through Milton and through Halton generally I found boxes all along Hie road and the^ farmers getting their letters not at their doors but not very far from their doors. I thought it was a great improvement on the old system.


David Henderson: I cannot agree that there is no discrimination. I wish to repeat and emphasize a statement of his own. Whilst in the cities these drop letters are delivered at the people's doors for one cent each, in the rural sections the government saves all the expense of delivering by letter-carriers, and yet gets as much postage as in the city.


Rodolphe Lemieux: There are more people in the cities.


David Henderson: We cannot help that. I would not like the minister to be carried away with the idea that the rural mail delivery pervades the whole of my county. I know that he took a trip from Milton to an outlying post office called Mount Nemo, a distance of 12 or 15 miles. That is one mail route. There is another on a circuit of about 19 miles, but I am not sure that the whole distance is supplied with boxes. That is all the rural mail delivery we have in the county.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I was told that it was near that place that my hon. friend was born; so I thought it was the whole county.


David Henderson: It was not on Mount Nemo, but on another mount not very far from that. At present I live in the northern part of the county, and the people of that neighbourhood have no advantage of the rural mail delivery. I do not think that the argument that has been presented regarding the extension of the rural mail delivery has very much weight so far as my county is concerned, because beyond 25 or 30 miles at-the outside the people have not the advantage, though it cost them something as well as the government. I am sorry the minister cannot see his way to granting this small concession, which I thought he would be1 able to do, Mr. LEMIEUX.
from the admissions he made two years ago, when he asked me to remind him of the promise he then gave. 1 must say I feel disappointed, and I hope he is not going to turn this down for all time. I do not propose to divide the House on this question, because if the minister is going to oppose it I know that I cannot get it.
I think the country is entitled to what I ask, it is a reasonable proposition, and I hope the minister will see his way clear to grant it.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: Is the minister in a position to say how the revenue is affeet-ed in towns of upwards of 1,000 inhabitants by the reduction from two cents to one cent? I understand that there is a good surplus in the revenues from these post offices. I understand also that there is a large surplus in the Post Office Department. I believe there should not be any.
I believe that all the money gained in revenue in the Post Office Department should be expended in giving the people a good mail service. If the reduction from two cents to one cent in the cities has given good results, may we not conclude that a reduction from one cent to half a cent in towns would have the same result?


Rodolphe Lemieux: The revenue in the towns is quite satisfactory, but we need all that revenue for the opening of new post offices, especially in the western sections of this country. In 1896 between Lake Superior and the Rocky mountains we had 786 post offices, whereas in 1910 there are in Manitoba, 699; in Alberta, 695; in Saskatchewan, 982, and in the Yukon, 20, an increase in those three western provinces of 1,610. We have to provide in each case for the salary of the postmaster and an allowance for fuel and light, and we have increased the salary first from $10 to $25 and afterwards to $35. We have to establish mail routes between these new offices, advertise for tenders, and so forth, All this costs an enormous amount of money, and we require all our revenue for these purposes.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: It is only natural that the number of post offices should increase very much, but has not the revenue increased in a greater proportion?


Rodolphe Lemieux: The revenue has increased, certainly, but we require it all to keep pace wtih the expansion of the country. Eight or ten years ago we had jrost offices from six to seven miles apari. To-day we do not refuse to open a post office at two miles distance from -another provided there is a fair number of patrons. All this creates additional expenditure, and we mast be prepared to meet that increased demand made upon us. Now, let me give the figures. In

Ontario in 1896, there were 3,185 offices. There has been an increase of 563 since last year. Of course Ontario is a well settled province, where new offices are not so much needed. In Quebec there were in 1896, 1,640 offices. There are now 2,341 offices. In Nova Scotia there were 1,649 offices in 1896; to-day there are 1,953. In New Brunswick in 1896 there were 1,181; to-day there are 1,409. In Prince Edward Island there were 380 in 1896; to-day there are 467. In British Columbia there were 274 in 1896; to-day there are 571. In Manitoba there were 786 in 1896; to-day there are 699, but that included the two Northwest Territories. In Alberta in 1909 there were 600 offices, and in one year we increased the number by 95, there being to-day 695. In Saskatchewan in 1909 there were 861; to-day there are 982. So that since 1896, the number of post offices have increased from 9,103 to 12,885. Now, as regards the gross annual revenue and expenditure in the different provinces of the Dominion, for 1908-9, the last year for which figures are available. They were as follows approximately:
Ontario-revenue, $4,441,463; expenditure, $3,564,000; percentage of expenditure to revenue, 83 per cent.
Quebec-revenue, $1,905,942; expenditure $1,754,242; percentage of expenditure to revenue, 92 per cent.
Manitoba-revenue, $951,905; expenditure, $3,564,00.3; percentage of expenditure to revenue, 88 per cent.
British Columbia-revenue, $655,787; expenditure, $636,339; 97 per cent of this revenue was. spent in that province.
Now as to Nova Scotia, I need not give the whole figures. I will give the percentage. There we spent 124 per cent of its revenue. Of course it is a small province.


John Graham Haggart: What is the reason of so many post offices in Nova Scotia?


Rodolphe Lemieux: In Nova Scotia the settlements axe sparsely situated. There is practically only one or two railways operating in Nova Scotia, and we have to provide the inhabitants of the different portions of the province with proper postal facilities. In Alberta, 93 per cent of the revenue was spent; in New Brunswick 129 per cent, and in Prince Edward Island 153 per cent. Of course, it is not always the best argument to use the law of averages, but at all events I have given the figures here. In a small province like Prince Edward Island, the people have only one railway, and the fishermen are living on the bays and on the shore where the railway has no access, and we must provide for those people. When they came into confederation they came under certain terms and we must provide for them.


John Allister Currie: Will the minister read the averages, beginning with British Columbia again?
Mr. -LEMIEUX. I will begin with Ontario: Ontario, 80 per cent expenditure to revenue; Quebec, 92 per cent; Manitoba, 88 per cent; British Columbia, 97 per cent; Nova Scotia, 124 per cent; Saskatchewan, 94 per cent; Alberta, 93 per cent; New Brunswick, 129 per cent; Prince Edward Island, 153 per cent. The figures given represent very nearly the revenue transactions, but the expenditure cannot be calculated quite so closely. Such items as the conveyance of mails by railways, for instance, which form a very considerable proportion of the total expenditure, can only be figured out on the basis of the track mileage in each province, without respect to the weight of mail that has to be carried over the different sections of railways. There is also the mileage of railway mail clerks, whose runs are partly within one province and partly within another. But this does not prevent me from giving approximately and fairly, I think, the total expenditure and total revenue and the percentage of expenditure to revenue.


John Waterhouse Daniel: Has the minister the number of post offices that were opened in New Brunswick in the latter part of 1908-9?


Rodolphe Lemieux: In New Brunswick in 1909 there were 1,397 post offices; in 1910, 1,409, an increase of twelve in the year. In Prince Edward Island there is an increase of two offices over last year. I wil. give the increases since last year in the number of post offices. In Ontario, the increase over last year was 54; Quebec, 72; Nova Scotia, 15; New Brunswick, 12; Prince Edward Island, 2; British Columbia, 24; Manitoba, 12; Alberta, 95; Saskatchewan, 121. In the old provinces, of course, in Ontario and Quebec, the increase is les3, but in the new provinces, we have to provide for the arrival of immigrants.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: To what extent has rural mail delivery been extended in Manitoba?


Rodolphe Lemieux: I will give by provinces the exact number of rural mail routes authorized. In Prince Edward Island, 36 were authorized; in Nova Scotia, 6; in New Brunswick, 16; Quebec, 8; Montreal District, 2; Ottawa, 8; Kingston, 25; Toronto, 42; London, 123; Winnipeg, 29; Moosejaw, 8; Saskatoon, 3; Edmonton, 13; Calgary, 6; Vancouver, 7; Victoria, 7. The total being 339.


Martin Burrell: What were the totals for British Columbia?


Rodolphe Lemieux: Vancouver 7; Victoria 7-total 14. The increase in the cost of

mail service arising out of the establishment of rural delivery in British Columbia is Vancouver, $4,111; Victoria, $1,497. In Winnipeg, the total increase in cost arising out of the establishment of rural mail is $6,332.52. We are only beginning, but we are beginning on a safe basis, not on the extravagant basis adopted in the United States, As I said the other day, in the United States, though they have a huge revenue, this year, they have a deficit of over $17,000,000, and, according to the assistant Postmaster General of the United States, that deficit is made up of the lavish expenditure on rural mail delivery. We must take our time, and be rather conservative as regards that, for otherwise the Post Office Department might become involved in a very large deficit.


John Allister Currie: The argument of the Postmaster General (Mr. Lemieux) against the proposition of the hon. member for Halton (Mr. Henderson) is the great expenditure that the post office has to face in the number of new post offices it is necessary to open in the Northwest. Now, the figures that the hon. Postmaster General has just given to the House are illuminating on this point. They show distinctly that, whilst there has been an enormous expansion in the west, yet in every case the revenue has more than kept up with the expenditure. We find that, in the great province of Ontario the expenditure is only 80 per cent of the revenue. The surplus, there, of course, owing to the enormous amount of the revenue, would represent a very large sum of money. But when we consider the western provinces, what do we find? In Manitoba, the expenditure is only 88 per ctm, of the revenue -a good surplus there. Then we come to Saskatchewan, a province which is growing more rapidly, possibly, than any other portion of Canada. We find that even there the expenditure is only 94 per cent of the revenue. In Alberta, the showing is even more favourable-an expenditure of only 93 per cent. So, the Postmaster General's argument does not really hold at all. There is no reason why the request of the hon. member for Halton should not be conceded. Especially so when we remember that every concession in the way of cheaper postal service means a greater revenue and greater profit. That has been an acknowledged maxim in the postal service ever since the success of penny posts in the old country. There is one especially strong reason why low local rates should be granted in this matter. The question brings up the big issue between the local retail merchant and the mail order house in the city. Everybody who knows anything about the post offices throughout the country knows that these post offices are Mr. LEMIEUX.
flooded daily with circulars, parcels, letters and 'come-on' documents from the mail order houses in the great centres inviting the people to send in orders by mail, and have them filled at the expense of the retail dealers in the country. The retail dealers would like to take advantage of the postal service, and do likewise. But, in the first place, he has not the enormous resources of the big city concerns, and also his expenditure for printing and otherwise is relatively larger, for, his printing would have to be done locally, and in comparatively small quantities. Even with the lower local postal rate, I venture to say, it would cost one of the great houses in Toronto no more to circularize the ^people in Milton, for instance, than it would cost a local dealer to reach the people of the town in the same way. It would be a decided advantage, however, if this cheap rate were introduced so that the local dealer could send circulars to his customers calling attention to the things he has to sell on something like the same terms as those enjoyed by the great retail houses in the cities. For that reason, I am strongly in favour of this proposition, and hope the Postmaster General will not oppose it, because it would greatly benefit local business, and tend to build up industries in the towns against the enormous, crushing weight of the mail order houses in the large centres.


Mr. SINCLAIR.: The hon. member for South Lanark (Mr. Haggart) inquired why there were .so many post offices in the province of Nova Scotia. I would like to state to that hon. member and to the House what, in my opinion, is the explanation. The reason, I believe, is largely geographical. If you will look at the map, you will see that the whole coast of Nova Scotia is indented with harbours and bays. One of these, perhaps, runs twelve or fourteen miles into the country, It is settled on both sides, and there is no bridge or ferry. Consequently, you musft have post offices on both sides. Again,1 Nova Scotia has many rivers which are settled along both banks, and the mail must run down both banks, because -we are not accommodated with bridges for crossing at every point. The geographical situation in Nova Scotia, therefore, calls for a larger number of post offices than are needed in a province like Manitoba, or even Ontario, which are more regularly divided, and where the people may be more conveniently served by the post offices. As to the revenue, I may mention that, in a province situated as Nova Scotia is, at the very extreme of the Dominion, it is hardly fair to credit it with only the revenue that it pays into the post office. Take, for example, one of the business houses, referred to by the hon. member for North Simcoe (Mr. J. A. Currie)-a large mail

order house. The customer in Nova Scotia sends an order, let us suppose, to Eaton or some other concern in Toronto or Montreal. The goods are sent by mail, and the postage is paid by the large firm in the first place, but ultimately by the customer in Nova Scotia. I venture to say that there is a very large amount of money credited to Ontario and Quebec in this way that, in reality, ought to be credited to Nova Scotia. I was glad to hear the minister sa^r that he intended to reduce the distances between post offices. My own opinion is that this is the proper solution of mail accommodation in my province. Owing to the facts that have been stated, and the distance from the railway in many places, it is impracticable to have rural mail delivery in, some sections and more post offices is the only remedy. It used to be said by the department that post offices would not be pldced within four miles of one another, and I was pleased to hear the minister say that he was reducing the distance to two miles. That will lead to a great improvement in Nova Scotia. It is better to increase the number of post offices than to spend money in attempting to give the people rural*mail delivery, which is not suitable to that country.


William D. Staples: The minister has spoken of the great improvements he is making in the mail routes of the west and has mentioned the routes running out from Winnipeg. I have been asking the minister for the last seven years to establish a postoffice in a district where at certain seasons of the year the people have had to go eight miles for their mail, and at any time have had to go about 3 miles. The minister said the other day that he had met the convenience of those particular people, but I received a letter this morning which would indicate that their convenience has not been met. According to this letter certain changes have been made, and the post office at St. Charles river has been returned to St. Charles village and a new office has been opened in Sturgeon creek, but both offices are three miles from the place I spoke of, and the river intervenes. My correspondent says that mail matter, including letters, is left at his store every day for distribution to people living near, while others coming in have to go three miles for their mail. As a matter of fact, the proper place for this post office would have been in this very store. I have tried to explain the situation in that locality to the minister and have produced a map showing how thickly settled it is. The population are almost all engaged in market gardening, and if there is any place near Winnipeg deserving of rural mail delivery it is this district. The trouble has
been that there is a little political quarrel between the old candidate and some of the settlers in that locality and the minister does not seem willing to accede to the wishes of the people, but seems to prefer to keep up the agitation. While the store-keeper may not be a particular friend of the government, I do not know that he is a strong opponent, in fact I understand he has been very independent, and the people have petitioned to have the post office established in his store. I understand that the people have to pay $3 a box for rural mail delivery.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I brought with me the other day the whole file on this case. The case concerns my hon. friend only and not the House.


William D. Staples: I have taken it up several times.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I told my hon. friend I had given instructions to Mr. McLeod, the inspector at Winnipeg, to solve the whole question. There has been a quarrel between the two sides of the river; I received a report and have acted according to that report. The inspector has equalized the distances between the post offices and established a new one, so as to give satisfaction to the people. I am sure that Mr. McLeod has taken all the facts into consideration. However, I shall take the case up with my hon. friend in a few minutes.


John Herron: The minister's statement would lead the House to believe that we had splendid mail accommodations in our country, the post offices close together and convenient for the settlers. The figures as here presented would give that impression. I admit that the post offices have increased threefold since 1896, but the revenue has increased in a far greater proportion, and the population to-day is probably six times what it was in 1896. The hon. member (Mr. Staples) complains of having post offices eight miles apart. In my country it is quite usual to have post offices fifteen miles apart, people travelling seven or eight miles for their mail. We have also post offices getting one mail a week, where they have had the mail route in the same place for ten years or more, and a large number of people are being served in that way. I think the Postmaster General might well consider the establishment of tri-weekly services in these localities. The minister should improve these services before he accumulates a surplus in his department. There is still a surplus of 7 per cent of revenue over expenditure in our province. We are generally met with the reply that the rev-

enue will not permit a more rapid extension of the service than is being made. I would like the minister to accede to the request of the hon. member for Halton (Mr. Henderson) and give a half-cent drop rate in towns in rural localities. The position of the small merchants in towns has been well explained. With their wide opportunities for advertising the big departmental stores in the large cities are extending their business to the disadvantages of country merchants. I hope that the Postmaster General will not try to show how large a surplus he can secure until he gives better accommodation to the rural districts, particularly in the province that I represent.


Mr. WM. CHISHOLM.: Mr. Chairman, I think that the Postmaster General may well congratulate himself upon the showing that- he makes, and it is recognized that for the administration of the Post Office Department since 1896 to the present Post master General and his predecessors is entitled a great deal of credit. Yet, the Postmaster General's Department is far from being an institution that we cannot criticise. The statistics that have been given, whilst, on their face, they are apt to justify another conclusion, are somewhat misleading. It would appear that the postal service in the rural districts, say in the province of Nova Scotia, are better than they are in the western provinces. I venture to say that, as far as rural conditions are concerned in the province of Nova Scotia, they do not receive as good accommodation relatively considered as they do in the west. As far as the charge of extravagance or generosity on the part of the Postmaster General or his department is concerned, that is a charge which certainly cannot be made. I have had a little experience with the Post Office Department, which has not 'been of the most pleasant kind in endeavouring to obtain better accommodation^ for the people whom I represent, particularly the rural population. Let me illustrate. When I went to get a Hi-weekly mail established I was obliged to surrender two offices in order to meet the increased cost of the tri-weekly service. The salaries of the two postmasters were somewhat greater than the cost of the increased accommodation. The department had to get the better of the bargain. I asked for the increased accommodation and they refused because the revenue would not justify the expenditure. Thev put it upon a straight business basis just as I would find if I were dealing with one of the Jews in Montreal. The proposition was put up to me in this form. I suggested the surrender of these two offices.


Mr LEMIEUX.: Who suggested that?


John Herron: 


William Chisholm: Not the Postmaster General.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Was it not suggested by yourself?


William Chisholm: Yes, I suggested it for the reason that I found that this was the only way in which I could get a triweekly service. I wanted to benefit the greater number. These two offices had been established years ago. They were then perhaps necessary. Whilst they would afford a convenience there was not then the necessity for continuing them and they could be dispensed with without any great degree of inconvenience. Finding that I could not get this increased tri-weekly service, I suggested that these two offices be dispensed with, and I must thank the department for having carried out my wishes in this regard. I merely mention this to point out that the department cannot be accused of extravagance, nor yet can it be accused of extreme generosity. I might mention another instance of a similar character that comes to my mind in this connection. I got this tri-weekly service established and on the route there was a section between two offices about three and a half miles from either office and I suggested that an office should be established in that section. Inquiry was made and it tvas fojundi that the revenue would not equal the expendi-sure, and my request was politelv declined. Business principles were applied and the department felt that they were not justified in establishing the post office. What happened? I asked, later on, that a bag be put up, and I informed the department that one of the people living in the vicinity would take the mail and distribute it amongst his neighbours. Thanks to their generositv they granted that request, a bag was put up and the mail has been delivered in that section by a citizen who is performing the duties of a postmaster without having any salary. There is hot much generosity there. I am not finding any fault with the department about that. I have not urged that he be given a salarv. but I am pointing out the experience I have had as far as the generosity of the Post Office Department is concerned and I could multiply the instances. I may say that the people of the rural communities are not dealt with as generously as they should be. If you ask for a post office in a rural community one of the first questions that is put to you is: How many dollars can we get out of it, and how much "will we have to pay? If the expenditure exceeds the revenue the request is politely declined. I submit that you must do what is kiecessary to make rural communities more comfortable and to make life in farming districts more bearable if you wish

to retain your rural population. The boys and the girls go away because they have not the conveniences at home. It is not too -much to expect that we should have a tri-weekly service where there has been a weekly service. We receive this answer, when we ask for increased accommodation: Oh, your fathers got along with the present service, or this service has been in existence for the last 10, 15, 20 or 25 years and you cannot show any great change in the community since then. This is very true, but io, 15, 20 or 25 years ago you would not find a piano, or organ in some of the houses, or a top buggy, or silveT mounted harness, or the houses furnished as they are to-day. The conditions have changed and the people have changed with them. You might say that there is no need of these comforts or conveniences. But the people are the best judges of that, and if they have these comforts and conveniences which are not absolute necessities surely it is not too much to expect that they should have the convenience of getting their mail two or three times a week, if they are now getting it only once a week. Newspapers are so much cheaper to-day than they were years ago that nearly everybody gets a daily paper. Large dailies, such as the Montreal 'Star' and other papers, are so cheap that they go into nearly all houses. Farmers for that is one reason want a tri-weekly or a daily service where they were quite content years ago with a weekly service. In making these remarks I do not wish to be understood as criticising the Post Office Department. The Post Office Department is entitled to the credit of the people of this country. It is a department that is recognized by every one as being run on thorough business lines, but I am afraid that in some cases they are running it on too straight and strict business lines and that the officers of the department should be a little more generous when it comes to considering the farming community. In the province of Nova Scotia we have no large cities or towns, and therefore, the showing is not as great as far as the revenue is concerned as in the provinces where they have the big centres, such as Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg. The Montreal revenue swells the revenue for Quebec, and the revenue for Toronto makes the revenue for Ontario appear very large, but if you eliminate these large towns and cities and take only the country districts you will find that Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island will make just as good a showing, so far as the rural districts go and the revenues received there concerned, as that of those other provinces.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: I hope the debate, which has been wandering away
from the point, will be relevant to this motion of the hon. member for Halton (Mr. Henderson).


Martin Burrell: I do not know that what I have to say will be particularly relevant, but it will not be particularly long. Some very interesting questions have been raised by hon. members of the House in speaking of the matter which is now before the Chair. I thoroughly agree with the hon. member for Antigonish (Mr. Chisholm). I do not think that the department can be accused of any great extravagance or generosity in its treatment of some of the postal arrangements throughout the scattered portions of the country. I am thoroughly in sympathy with the view of the hon. gentleman who has just sat down that the rural communities ought to be treated with the utmost generosity. It is the cry in Canada that we want rural population, and if we want to develop that class of our population we must certainly give the fullest consideration in the matter of mail facilities to those scattered communities which are laying the foundations of their future homes, and who are cut off entirely from their old connections and associations. I believe there are many places in the country where the department will be justified in establishjng_ post offices, even at a loss, for the sake of giving these people the facilities that they are now doing without. The geographical difficulties referred to by th,e hon. member for Guysboro as obtaining in Nova Scotia, are to be found in a much more aggravated degree in my own province of British Columbia. My own riding is probably 50 per cent larger than the whole of the maritime provinces put together, and in some instances the people are 400 miles from a railway, and are struggling to build up new districts. In such cases the Postmaster General should certainly not look for revenue. The hon. gentleman has admitted that he has a margin of three per cent between revenue and expenditure in that province, and I do think that where people are going immense distances to get their letters he should at least expend all the revenue obtained in the province to supply increased postal facilities. I trust the minister will take this matter into hi3 consideration.
Bill reported, read the third time, and passed.



SUPPLY-PROTECTION FOR THE STONE INDUSTRY.

[Stage Direction]
Mr. FIELDING moved that the House go into Committee of Supply.
[u'173 (M.) for Com. on Ways and Means, 5529; in Com., 5606; 1\xb0 m., 5626 (iii).', ' (B. 196) 10#, 6398 (iv).', ' (B. 235) in Com., 8856 (v).\nxxxii', 'FIELDING, Hon. W. S.-Con.']
George Henry Bradbury: I desire to call the attention of the government, and the House to a matter of considerable importance which affects a large number

of the working class of this country. I have here a letter from the secretary of the Stonecutters' Association of Manitoba, inclosing a resolution passed by the British Columbia Stonecutters' Association, and as the correspondence explains itself, 1 shall read it to the House:



[Stage Direction]
Tyndall, Manitoba, March 28 1910.
Dear Sir,-I have been instructed by this branch of the Journeymen Stonecutters' Association of North America to appeal to you on our behalf with regards to the inclosed resolutions from Vancouver branch, and which we endorse, as you aro our representative in the Dominion House. Trusting that you will look over those resolutions carefully,
I beg to remain, sincerely yours,
D. MacGREGOR, Cor. Sec., Carson Quarry Post Office, Tyndall, Manitoba.

[Stage Direction]
Resolutions.
Whereas, protection is said to be in the interests of workingmen, enabling their employers to furnish them with steadier employment and higher pay than are to be had in other countries, without increasing proportionately the cost of the necessaries of life; in effect increasing their income in at least greater ratio'than their outlay, and whereas;
The Canadian customs tariff, by oversight or otherwise, leaves the occupation of stonecutting entirely outside of the scheme, and has an effect directly opposite to that supposed to be intended. Duties of 30 to 35 per cent are (outside of the British preference) levied on the importation of almost every article we eat, wear or shelter ourselves with, while the one and only thing we sell, our labour in producing stone, is protected to the extent of 20 per cent only. Instead, therefore, of being beneficiaries of the system, stonecutters are being very unjustly discriminated against, and whereas;
Cut stone is being imported here from the United States in increasing quantities while numbers of local stonecutters are walking the streets idle, we are confronted, not with a theory, but a very serious condition which requires an immediate and drastic remedy.
Therefore be it resolved, that this branch of the Stonecutters' Union appeal to the Dominion government for redress in this matter, advancing no opinion as to the relative merits of free trade or protection, but claiming a right to equal treatment with our fellow citizens. If the policy of the government is in the direction of free trade we request the reduction of duties on all the necesaries of life to 20 per cent. If, on the other hand, the policy is protection, we request an increase of the duty on cut stone to the average amount collected on such necessaries. We ask for no favours, we desire none. All we want is simple justice and equal rights with other people. We wish for no more, we will not be content with less. We do not grab timber limits, water-powers, or other natural resources (they forgot to in-Mr. BRADBURY.
elude the Indian lands, Mr. Speaker), and then agitate for further privileges and concessions. We give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, value for value. We demand no privilege, we should be put under no handicap. And further be it resolved:
That a copy of this resolution be forwarded by the secretary to the Right Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier with the respectful request that he give it his serious consideration.
A. DUFF, President.
J. MARSHALL, Secretary.
I presume, Mr. Speaker, that the government is in possession of this resolution as it is some time since I received a copy.1 In my own county, I think nearly all the quarries that are at the present time working in Manitoba, are situated. All the building stone that supplies Manitoba, and the Northwest Territorities come out of the Garson or the Gunn quarries in the county of Selkirk, and I think I may say these limestone quarries are second to none in this Dominion. You can get stone there from one foot to 20 feet; they have extensive plants, they have saws and lathes, and are capable of finishing stone in first-class style. I submit that an industry of that kind should be thoroughly well protected. The Garson quarry is only one of the. quarries situated in Selkirk county, and there are 400 or 500 men engaged in it. It is a notorious fact in the city of Winnipeg, which is building so rapidly, a large quantity of the stone which they are using in these magni-ficient structures is at present imported, while a great many of the stonecutters, the workingmen who are the bone and sinew of our country are not receiving the remuneration they should receive for their skill as mechanics. I would therefore ask the government to take into serious consideration the protection of the stone industry, not only against the finished article, but against the partially manufactured stone.
Bv this I mean sawn stone. Under the improved system of manufacturing stone, the stone for window sills, stringers, etc., is sawn to any dimension required and is put in place without the stonecutter putting a hammer or chisel to it. So I would ask the government, when considering this question, to consider not only the finished article, but the partly manufactured article. I think I am justified in asking this in view of the fact that so much imported stone is coming into Canada. Right here in Ottawa, in the magnificent new station building in sight of the parliament buildings, all the stone, I understand, is sandstone imported in the finished state from Ohio. We have a similar example in the citv of Winnipeg, where some years ago the government built the post office, which we designate there as the annex to the Winnipeg 'Free Press' office. It is a magnificent building, but strange to say, this government, which ought to encourage

[Stage Direction]
the use of Canadian stone, passed by the Manitoba stone, which is admitted to be equal in appearance and in quality to any other stone that is being used in Winnipeg to-day, and imported every foot of stone that went into that building. I say this is an outrage. The government of this country should, wherever possible, use in our public buildings the material we are producing in our own country and encourage home industry. It is an oversight which I hope the government will not be guilty of again. Some of the finest structures in the city of Winnipeg to-day -the Canadian Pacific railway station, the Canadian Northern station, and in fact most of the great buildings-are manufactured at the Garson quarry, one of the finest quarries in the Dominion of Canada; and how the government of Canada, in face of the fact that this quarry was turning out such magnificent material, could go out of the country to get stone for a public building, I cannot very well understand. I trust we shall never have a case of that kind again in the western country, and there is certainly no need of doing so in the east, because the limestone of the Ottawa valley is not equalled in any part of this continent, If men are bound to have imported stone in their buildings, let it come in the raw state, and let our stonecutters, who, as this resolution says, are paying high duties on everything they eat and wear, have equal protection and equal rights with the rest of our citizens. I do not intend to detain the House any longer, but I trust that if there are any negotiations with the United States before the House is called together again, the government will take care of this matter as well as the protection of our gardeners, which I referred to a few days ago. Both of these questions are important to us in the west.
Motion agreed to, and House went into Committee of Supply.
* Experimental farms, $110,000.
David Henderson: Will the hon. minister explain the increase?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It is due chiefly to the fact that we are running three new farms- one at Lethbridge, one at Lacombe and one at Rossland, as well as a fourth on Prince Edward Island.


Mr. SEXSMITH.: The minister gave us a very eloquent address the other day on the work of the Department of Agriculture, and mentioned a number of experiments that are being carried on at the experimental farm, but there are some which he did not tell us anything about. I had the pleasure a little time ago of visiting the farm, and I saw there what I presume were experiments such as I have never heard of or seen before. At the experimental farm in Ontario we have been taught to take care of our implements. At the experimental farm here I saw ploughs and other implements that were put undercover just as they had been taken out of the ground, with a great deal of clay on them. I thought perhaps this was an experiment to see whether it was better to leave the clay on or to have them properly cleaned and oiled before they were put away for the winter. Some machinery was properly housed 'under cover, while considerably more was out under an open shed, with from three to six inches of ice on the wheels. I supposed that was another experiment to see whether it would be better to have the machinery outside frozen in the ice or under cover where it would be dry. A considerable quantity of machinery was there, and one side was open and the water had frozen in the spokes of the wheels. Now, I do not know what the object of the minister was in keeping the place like that. Perhaps he will explain what his intention is with respect to those experiments.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I sympathize with my hon. friend. We have an implement shed or building in which the great majority of the farm implements are placed, but 1 certainly do not consider that any implement should be put in to that house in the fall of the year without being properly cleaned. I am surprised to hear that any implements were so placed. I will cer-f tainly inquire about it and instruct the officers that that should not occur, because' I think it would be wrong. So far as the shed in which there was water and ice is concerned, I can only suppose he alludes to a shed that was started last fall and which is not yet completed, and it is possible that some of the wagons and other' things in the shed might be in the condition he has described. I have not been able to visit that shed during the winter, and therefore I cannot say whether the condition is such as my hon. friend de7 scribes. The shed ought to be ready soon, and the implements in the shed ought to stand in a dry place. I think that it is well established that this is a good place for implements.


John Albert Sexsmith: I can assure the hon. minister that that was the condition of affairs when I was there. I confess I was considerably disappointed when I found machinery, wagons, horse rakes and so on in that condition. That is not my idea of what an experimental farm should be. I can remember the model farm, as we used to call it in the old days, in Ontario, and although it did not bear the same reputation that the Dominion Experimental Farm enjoys, I think it is one of the greatest institutions of the kind in America. Lis-

tening to the hon. minister's address the other day, one would have thought that he had never visited other experimental farms in Canada. He practically took to himself the credit of having monopolized the establishment of such farms.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Oh, no.


John Albert Sexsmith: There are a great many things that have been brought about by our experimental farm here, and by the very efficient experiments and tests that have been made. I do not wish to criticise a great deal of the work that is being done there, but I do wish to say that in my opinion, there is not more than half of the work being done that should be done. The agricultural industry in Canada is the greatest industry there is, and Teally it gets less attention and has less spent upon it by the government than almost any other industry in the country. An experimental farm conducted by the Dominion government, ought to be beyond reproach in every way. I would ask any farmer, or any lawyer, in this House to go out to that farm, and he will find that there are many farms in the province of Ontario that are more neatly kept. There are a great many eyesores at the experimental farm that could be removed at very little cost. One of these eyesores is the hog-pen. During the last days of the session, a year ago, another member and I visited the experimental farm, and we found the hog-pen in a deplorable condition. I was sorry, at the time, that the minister had got his estimates through and that I did not have an opportunity of drawing his attention to it. In the lower part of the pen, there were some hogs, and the manure had been piled up in to such an extent that I did not consider that half of that sty was fit to have a hog in it. That was in the latter days of April. Later, I had the opportunity of visiting the farm with a number of farmers, some 400 strong, from my riding, and West Peterborough, and West Durham, and to my utter astonishment, the manure which I had seen piled up in April, was still there, though in a smaller quantity. Now, these are things that should not exist on a model farm, if my conception of a model larm is right. I would urge the minister, if he is going to conduct experiments in the interests of the bacon industry, to at once destroy what they call the pig-pen at the experimental farm and have one put up that would be up-to-date, so that the. farmers coming from all parts of the Dominion would see a model pig-pen, model cow byres, and everything else as it should he at an experimental farm. But I certainly do protest against the class of pens used for housing the hogs.
11. SEXSMITH.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am glad that my hon. friend (Mr. Sexsmith) has mentioned these things. As to the particular pen of which he speaks, that was an experiment and everything about it was done advisedly and intentionally. It is known that many people in the country are short of straw for their hogs and have tried to get other kinds of bedding. We have had many applications for information as to the use of black muck. If it were satisfactory and increased the manure from the hogs, it would be a good thing for many farmers. We carried out the experiment in this case. It is true, the results are not considerd to be satisfactory. But the hon. gentleman sees that we are trying experiments with regard to the management of hogs. As to the hog pen generally, the upper part was built many years ago. According to the then ideas of the best hog raisers in the country, it was a model. I admit that things have changed since those days, and now it is not a model. But, for two or three years back, we have been testing the best way of keeping hogs. Among other things used is the large pen below, to which the hon. gentleman referred, and which has proved a good practical pen for the running of brood sows in the winter time. It is not a very gorgeous affair, but it is very practical. When the time does come for us to put up a permanent building in that new style, we shall embody in it the elementary principles of this one, but with better construction. That also was intended for a test. Of course, we did not want to spend much money in a test that might not work out satisfactorily. The hon. member may have noticed a small pig-pen near there, a little building which was put up a year and a half ago on what we thought an improved model. We wanted to see whether it would work out before we put up the large pen. It was largely a question of ventilation, and of keeping the walls dry. That is one of the most difficult problems in hog pens- to keep the walls dry, to give ventilation and yet not make the pen too cold. That building has been a success, and we hope to put up a large building for all our hogs on the same lines of construction. But, I do not think it would have been wise to go ahead on a large scale before trying this experiment. I accept the hon. member's criticisms in the spirit in which they were intended. I think we should have all the better hog pen because of the tests we have made and because of what we have learned from those tests.


William D. Staples: The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Fisher) took up three hours of the time of the House on Friday, explaining the wonderful progress made in regard to the experimental farms of this Dominion. No doubt some progress has been

made, but it has taken the minister, who claims to know more about agriculture than almost any man in the Dominion, a long time to learn. Instead of being a source of information to the provinces, which have not the large revenue for these purposes that the Dominion has, he has been content, so far as I can see, to lag along behind. The minister speaks of the hog pen. It has been constructed only within a recent date. When I first came to this House, one of the first places I visited was the experimental farm. I must say I found the condition of the buildings very inferior. And I, with other members, did not fail to call the attention of the minister to the condition of affairs. That was about seven years ago. The minister has at last wakened up to some of the suggestions then made. The minister boasts of his great progress, but, apparently, he is afraid to take the lead to any great extent. He admits that agriculture is the greatest industry of the country, but he is always slow in moving unless he is prodded from this side. He speaks of his splendid officials. I believe he has good officials; any that I know are certainly good men. If he would listen to the suggestions of his officials, in my opinion, greater progress would be made in these experimental farms. The hon. minister has been acquiring new experimental farms, of which he told us the other night. He has acquired two in the west, and now intends to acquire another in Saskatchewan. But when he decided to establish an experimental farm in Alberta. I understand, he acquired merely a quarter section of land. I had the pleasure of being at that experimental farm at Lacombe, and found, much to my surprise, that the minister had secured only 160 acres, though he might then have secured more at a reasonable price. When he comes to extend the boundaries of that farm, he will find that he will have to pay a pretty high price, for the people know the position in which they have got him. It was not necessary that he should get into that position. In superintending the affairs of agriculture for this country, the minister is not as active as he should be, and does not appear to have the originality which should characterize one in his position. A great many of the experiments he has undertaken have turned out not greatly to his credit-I do not wish to go into the details of his experiments with chickens and other things. In considering what is necessary for the instructions of the agriculturists of Canada, he should study these matters more seriously. Instead of taking trips abroad, he might visit the experimental farms. We can go away for three or four months, it may be, but I believe he hasi not been able to visit these western farms more than once since they were established. His first duty is 233
to his department, and he should pay more attention to it. He should work out bigger schemes for the education of the farmers than have been characteristic of his administration.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am sorry I do not go
fast enough to suit the hon. member (Mr. Staples). I think I am going as fast as the means placed at my disposal and the decisions arrived at -by experts permit. He cast reflections on my taking trips and not visiting the experimental farms. I can only say that, so far as I can remember, I have not taken a journey of any kind whatever for fourteen years-since I became minister-except on official business.


Samuel Hughes: Not even a wedding trip.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not yet-been too busy. I have been hoping for a holiday when I might go for a trip, but I have been debarred from it hitherto. But I did visit every one of the experimental farms in the Dominion except the one at Nappan, and I hope to do so soon again. I can assure him I am doing the best I can and I am sorry if I cannot satisfy him.


John Albert Sexsmith: The minister says he was experimenting with dried muck. I did not see any dry muck.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No; you saw it after it got wet.


John Albert Sexsmith: The farmers of East and West Peterborough have been in the habit of visiting the experimental farm at Guelph for some years. Some eight or ten years ago they came to Ottawa. I had not the pleasure of being here with them then, but they did not return here until last year. On arriving here they were conducted around the farm and saw everything that was to be seen, but a great many were greatly disappointed. They had been visiting the experimental farm at Guelph, which has not the Dominion treasury behind it, but a very much more meagre resource, and coming to Ottawa to visit the Dominion Experimental Farm they expected to see something on a much greater scale, but they said:	This does
not compare with the farm at Guelph. I was sorry the conditions were such that this great number of farmers should find the Dominion Experimental Farm not anything up to their expectation. A number of these little things I speak of were eyesores then, and they are still there. It would cost nothing to have them removed.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: What kind of things.


John Albert Sexsmith: The rubbish pile around the buildings, old boards.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: When building operations are going on there must necessarily be some piles of lumber and debris. The



office buildings have been under construction now for over a year, and during that time lumber, scantlings, etc., are of course piled around the building. The shed the hon. gentleman spoke of is not finished, and no doubt there was some lumber piled around there. There is a regular rubbish heap behind the implement shed, and the tobacco curing station, where it is well out of sight and where we do, for practical purposes, put any odd pieces of lumber, scantling beams, etc., until they become useful for our operations. We might destroy them and get new stuff, but that would be very short-sighted and extravagant.


John Albert Sexsmith: I am aware there is some rubbish where new buildings are being erected, but what I call rubbish was a rubbish heap. There may have been some valuable stuff, but there was some that would never have any value. However, those are only trifling matters. How many foremen are there over the live stock department?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: There is one farm foreman for the farm, and a herdsman who has charge of the animals in the barn. The man who feeds the horses and is responsible for their care might be called foreman of the horse stable, but he does other work as well.


John Albert Sexsmith: Has the herdsman
complete control over the cattle?.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not complete control; he has control under Mr. Grisdale, the ;agri-culturist.


John Albert Sexsmith: Is Mr. Grisdale a
competent stock man?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, thoroughly.


John Albert Sexsmith: I suppose the herdsman would not be in a position to discard a cull animal without authority?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.


John Albert Sexsmith: Do you think that is the better plan, to have a herdsman and one or two over him?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: He is only under Mr. Grisdale, the agriculturist, who is a scientific stockman.


John Albert Sexsmith: How long is it since you had the first herd of Ayrshires?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I could not say. I think there have been some there ever since the farm was established, but there was a slight reorganization of the stock work about nine years ago, when the Ayrshire herd as a dairy herd was established.


John Albert Sexsmith: I am not an expert in any of these breeds, bat when I see a cow milked and the milk weighed, I know how Mr. FISHER.
much it weighs and I have a fair idea of what an ordinary cow should milk. I happened to be there when they were milking. I only saw one or two weighed, and by looking over the herd they were in fine condition and all that, but as near as I could learn there was not what we would call a first-class dairy cow in the Ayrshire herd. A three-year-old heifer milked eleven pounds.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am surprised that my hon. friend says that, because good experts in the Ayrshire breed would say there are some first-class Ayrshire cows. I have asked the average of the full-grown cows and it is about 8,000 pounds of good milk in the season. From the report we see that some go as high as 400 pounds of butter a year, which is a good yield. I wish I could have a herd that would average that.


John Albert Sexsmith: I think that is a small yield when compared with many others.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Does my hon. friend say that 400 pounds of butter a year is a poor yield?


John Albert Sexsmith: Very moderate.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not agree with my hon. friend.


John Albert Sexsmith: I would not wish to say there are not some very fine looking Ayrshires.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It is not a question of looks, but of performance.


John Albert Sexsmith: I happened to see the one heifer weighed, a fine looking animal, but the milk only weighed eleven pounds.
' Mr. FISHER. How long had she been milking?


John Albert Sexsmith: Only a short time.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Was it her first calf?


John Albert Sexsmith: Her first calf. 21,000 pounds is getting to be a regular yield for dairy cows.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: There is not an Ayrshire cow in Canada giving 21,000 pounds.


John Albert Sexsmith: I am not speaking of Ayrshires, bat of dairy cows. The minister the other day spoke of the conditions in Denmark, and the great change that had taken place there. If I remember the statistics, the average production of each cow was formerly about 2,200 pounds. In about seven years they had, with the assistance of the government, raised the average production up to 7,000 pounds all over Denmark. I do not suppose it is relevant to the question to ask the minister how that was brought about.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Well, I can tell my hon. friend. It has been done by systematic instruction, education and co-operation through the cow-testing associations, a work which we have been striving to introduce into Canada now for four or five years back, and which we have made some progress in instituting in Canada. At the present time the prospects for the increase of that kind of work are very good.


John Albert Sexsmith: The government has made experiments with regard t-o the dairy cow, but is the minister not well aware that the government there undertook to raise the standard of the dairy cow?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: How?


John Albert Sexsmith: By importing and sending out among the farmers a great many sires of the Holstein type. They came to the conclusion that a certain cow was the best, and then they did everything to introduce that cow in the country. A great many sires were purchased by the government and put around through Denmark.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We have been making tests for years as to the production of cows of different breeds, but we have left it largely to private enterprise to provide the best quality of sires for distribution throughout the country. I think my hon. friend would find that there would be a very strong protest if the government were to enter into that business. I do not think that is the best way to accomplish the object, and in Canada to-day there is an abundance of good dairy sires. However, we have been trying to educate and stimulate the farmers, so that they would purchase these sires and use them, and for this purpose we have been seeing on the experimental farms what the average^ production of each breed has been. We'have at the farm four herds of different dairy breeds. I have been asked to add a herd of Holsteins, and I hope to be able to do that. But, at the present time, there are Ayrshires, Canadian cattle, Guernseys and Shorthorns, and we have tested them as to the quality of milk and butter, the amount of food consumed, and the cost of production All that information is given out for the benefit of the people. I have never thought it the duty of the farm, nor of myself, to undertake to discriminate between breeds, and I do not think that the people want us to. One breed may serve one man's purpose better than another, and we leave it to the judgment of each individual farmer to decide as to what breed he shall use.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: The minister received quite a scolding the other day, and I think he must admit that he brought it on himself very largely


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not admit it.
233J
Mr, SCHAFFNER. There is a good deal of money spent on these experimental farms, but I do not say there is too much. I believe there should be more. I am a little doubtful that the farmers receive the results that they should from the amount of money expended. We must make experiments, but it is very little use to make these experiments, and to spend money on them unless the knowledge that is gained reaches the people. These experimental farms have been in operation for some time, but I am afraid that the results are not reaching the people for whom they are intended. Personally, I believe that the best selection of land has not always been made in locating these experimental farms. The minister may say that he did not establish all these farms, that a number of them were established under the Tory regime. I am quite willing to admit that the Tories did not always do everything right.
_ Mr. FISHER. It does not matter; this is not a party question.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: No, it is not a party question. The experimental farm at Brandon is in a very unsuitable place. It is the only experimental farm in Manitoba, and for a great many years it was the principal experimental farm in the west. I believe that experimental farms should be established in the western country on land as much like the rest of the land in the country as it is possible to get.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Hear, hear.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: I am prepared to say that in the province of Manitoba there is not ten per cent of land similar to that on which the experimental farm at ,Bran-don has been placed. It is down on the banks of the river, well protected, and on heavy soil when, if they had gone back a mile on the hill, they would have found land for experimental purposes similar to 80 or 90 per cent of the land to be found in the country. I went through the reports of the different experimental farms the other day, and I found two or three of the main experiments that should be made not touched at all. I found out that different kinds of experiments are being carried on with respect to grades of wheat and different kinds of grain and seeds, but nowhere did I find experiments as to shallow or deep ploughing, the best time to plough, and especially as to the operation of packing the soil. I did not find packing the soil mentioned in the whole of the experimental farm reports. The farmers are visiting each other's farms and conversing at their meetings trying to find out whether it is profitable to undertake this form of cultivation. The machine they use for packing is very expensive and this is information which

should be placed in their possession. Yet, we have had no experiments as to tlie proper time to pack the ground, whether it should be packed in the fall after ploughing, whether it should be packed in spring after ploughing, or whether it is best to pack at all, or whether they should only make use of the harrow. I believe that the minister has in his mind now, something that I think will be of very great advantage. That is the establishment of small experimental stations.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I stated it the other day.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: I was not here, although I believe the minister did state it. That is something the farmers are going to get very great advantage from. Southern Manitoba is one of the very important farming districts of the west, and there could be no better place to establish one of these stations than in the constituency of Souris. There should be some means taken, whether it should be done by the local government, by the railways, or how, I do not know, to get the farmers to visit these experimental farms. I do not think that enough has been done to disseminate the knowledge gained there. It seems a most difficult thing to get farmers to read the reports that are sent out. I am sure the minister will recognize that fact. It is the same in everything else. What you see gives a far greater and more lasting impression than anything you read, and we should establish these experimental stations. not too large, or too expensive, as thickly as possible, and we should try to adopt some further means of getting the knowledge gained at these farms disseminated amongst the people. I am a great believer in experimental farms, but I think that up to the present time the experiments have hardly been as practical as they might be.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I take the friendly advice of my hon. friend (Mr. Schaffner) in the spirit in which it is given. I may say that I have already announced in the House that I have embarked on the establishment of smaller experimental stations just as he recommended. At Lacombe, a quarter of a section has been bought, and it is not my intention to add to that.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: A quarter of a section is not quite large enough. I do not think any farmer in the west would consider 160 acres of land sufficient to make these experiments.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The comparisons can be made in fields of three or four or five acres just the same as if they were made in fields of twenty acres each, and the farmer who comes to visit these stations can more easily study the results in the small fields than if he had to walk over the Mr. SCHAFFNER.
prairie. He can compare the experiments much easier and with much greater convenience if the fields are small. The hon. member from Macdonald (Mr. Staples) said that the price of the land purchased was high, but I find wherever in the west I have to get land suitable for experimental stations that the price is very high. These experimental stations have to be near a railway station so as to be easily accessible to visitors, and the land has to be suitable. Their value would be greatly curtailed if they were situated in some out of the way corner, and to get land with all the necessary requirements I have to pay a high price for it. I think the money would be better spent in buying a small area in a suitable and accessible place than in buying a larger quantity of land in an out of the way place where the land might be obtained at a less price.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: What does the minister call a high price for land there?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: $50 an acre.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: Oh my, no.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think $50 an acre is a good price for land, but I must admit that I have had $200 an acre asked me. At $50 an acre a quarter-section costs $8,000 and if I have to establish experimental stations all over the country it would come to quite a nice sum of money. My hon. friend will remember that sometimes we are criticised for extravagance. I am trying to do things effectively and still not spend too much money.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: You expect to pay the market price?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: $50 an acre is about as good as you can do in Manitoba for good land?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Apparently, and sometimes I cannot get land for that situated near a railway station. Now, I think my hon. friend is mistaken in saying that he cannot find in the experimental farm reports the results of experiments in deep and shallow ploughing. We have been carrying on experiments of that kind for years, and if he carefully examine the reports he will find frequent references to it. Then, as to the experiments in packing the soil I may say that we have had a packer at work on the Brandon farm for three years.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: I can find nothing in the report as to what is the best time for packing.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: In the report on the Lacombe farm there is a reference to that very thing. I may say that we do not like to present a report on the very first trial

of a thing; we prefer to try it out sufficiently to be able to give a reasoned report on it. Frequently work has been, done on the experimental farms for a series of years before any definite report is made as to results. One of the most important things in connection with the experimental farm system is that we should not lead the farmers astray, and it is a wise precaution to be sure rather than to give ill-judged and hasty reports which afterwards may have to be modified. I am very proud of the fact that Dr. Saunders has always been very careful indeed to see that the recommendations he makes are founded on experience sufficiently long to justify them.


William D. Staples: I take issue with the minister when he says that 160 acres is sufficient for an experimental farm. Then again, as to the cost of the land, if the minister would not spread the fact all over the country that he is to establish an experimental farm at a certain place, before the purchase is made, he would be more likely to get the land at a cheaper price. It was advertised all over the country that the experimental farm was to be established at Lacombe, and when he proceeded to purchase the land naturally everybody in the district wanted a high price. However, the farm need not have been established at Lacombe as there are other points with equal facilities for an experimental farm. Now, I am not criticising the price paid


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Since we bought that farm the land adjoining has been sold at a considerably higher price, and if the farm were to be sold to-day I have no doubt we could get almost double what we paid for it.


William D. Staples: There is probably no question about that. I persist however, in my view that 160 acres is not sufficient land on which to carry on an experimental farm. You have to put buildings on the 160 acres which will, cost just about as much as buildings which would be suitable for an entire section, and to that extent the money is wasted. The minister shakes his head, but I want to tell him that the best way to utilize these experimental farms to advantage is to supply the farmers with the best quality of seed, and, in order to do that he would need a considerably larger area of land. If instead of 160 acres he had a section or two sections, he would find the buildings he has there quite ample. One of the best purposes served by the experimental farms established throughout the west is the production and distribution of the best quality of seed. The great difficulty in that western country is that the farms are becoming polluted with weeds, and if the experimental farms were devoted to the production of clean seed, it
would in my opinion be of more benefit to that country than anything else that it could do. You cannot produce much seed on 150 acres, therefore I claim that that is not sufficient land for an experimental farm.


Glenlyon Campbell: It is not often that I differ with my hon. friend from Souris (Mr. Schaffner), but I certainly differ with him when he says that his constituency affords a most ideal site in Manitoba for an experimental farm. That is by. no means the case, but Dauphin affords the ideal location. It comprises onc-third of the whole province of Manitoba, and is situated more advantageously than any other constituency in the province. It is a delta between the lakes in the north, the Riding mountains in the south, and the-Porcupine and Duck mountains in the west, and its possibilities are very much greater than those of any other part of Manitoba. A few moments ago the hon. minister said that he was doing the best he could with the money at his disposal. That is the great complaint of the representatives of the agricultural communities, that he has so litttle money at his disposal. The farmers are the greatest wealth producers of this country. Last year they produced over $500,000,000 by the sweat of their brows and the labour of their hands, for the benefit of Canada, and the minister has a paltry sum of less than one million dollars with which to experiment with for their benefit, and he sits quietly by and allows the Minister of War to snatch from the treasury of this country, for his gold-bedizoned officials, about $7,000,000 a year. Of what use are the militia of this country to the farmers? They would starve if it were not for what the farmers produce, and the Minister of Agriculture forgets his duties to the people when he allows what I would almost call a steal from him by another minister. I take it that the Minister of Agriculture is conducting experiments in all the various branches of agriculture. I have looked somewhat carefully into some of the experiments under his charge. He is making one experiment which, if it is a success will be of the greatest benefit, not only to Canada, but to the world. I see that at the experimental farm he has 18 horses of which 13 are geldings. If he ever gets these geldings to breed, he will confer the greatest benefit not only on Canada, but on the world. The minister said, in answer to my hon. friend from Souris, that $50 an acre was a great deal too much to pay for land for experimental stations. That would amount, roughly speaking, to $8,000 per quarter section. I

want to point out to him that if he had the $112,000 that was spent for the purpose of building eight cottages for some pot boys and understrappers for the officers at Kingston, and diverted it to the use of hi3 department, he would have been able to establish 14 experimental stations even at that price. While we on this side of the House, perhaps, do not take exception to the little that the Minister of Agriculture does, we do take exception to the great deal that he does not do for the farmers of this country.


Mr.   BAKKEK@: The minister mentioned the other day that a site had been selected for a new experimental farm in northern Saskatchewan. Will he tell us exactly where that site is, and any other particulars of interest to the public?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I had reference to a site near a station called Scott, on the Grand Trunk Pacific line between Saskatoon an I Edmonton.


Glenlyon Campbell: Any relation to Walter Scott?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not that I know of. Scott station is about 120 miles west of Saskatoon. There is a small cluster of houses around the station, but a great many settlers have gone into the district. I was able to secure 220 or 222 acres there at what appeared to be a low rate, $13 an acre. I have a report that the land is of very good average quality all over. There is not an obstruction or a tree upon it. It is bounded on the north by the railway fence, and the eastern boundary of it is within a quarter of a mile from the station.


Samuel Barker: Can you tell the section number?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I could not offhand.


William D. Staples: How many acres are there in the experimental farms at Indian. Head and Brandon?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: There are nearly 700 acres at Indian Head, and about the same at Brandon, somewhere between 600 and 700 acres.


William D. Staples: I claim that the minister has again made a great mistake, and that he has not sufficient land there to establish the kind of farm that I, as a farmer, think should be established. He will have to equip that land with the necessary buildings to carry on a certain line of farming, and he might just as well have got two sections of land for the purpose that is most beneficial to the farmers of the west, the production and distribution of the best quality of seed.


Glenlyon Campbell: 


Samuel Hughes: Might I ask the minister as to the matter of an experimental farm down in what is known as the dry belt. There are a great many settlers going into what is known as the dry belt, and I understand that representations have been made to the government for some experimental station there. Some years ago, I think the minister said that if he were granted a certain piece of land, he would pay for it a reasonable price, in order to test what he called a system of dry farming, the same as they have it in the United States. Has the minister taken any steps to establish a farm such as that?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We established a farm at Lethbridge for that purpose.


Samuel Hughes: Oh, that is different. That is in the fall wheat district.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It may be, but that district is dry. The hon. member knows that the southern part of Alberta is dry. We have at Lethbridge an establishment ofi about 400 acres, which the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company were good enough to present the government with.


Samuel Hughes: Why not have one at Zealandia?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Where?


Samuel Hughes: I am surprised that the minister does not know where Zealandia is. He knows where the Scott township is. Zealandia is a place southwest, of Saskatoon between Saskatoon and Calgary, in the triangle between Saskatoon, Calgary and Moosejaw.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No, we have not any farm there. We have had representations that a farm should be placed south of that, and I have also had representations from other places in the neighbourhood.


John Herron: Has the minister made any provision for establishing an experimental station in the Macleod district? I am sure there is a splendid opportunity there to help the farmers, of that locality, between Macleod and Calgary.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Lethbridge is only 40 miles from Macleod.


John Herron: Well, it is in a semi-arid belt, you might say. It is not truly an experimental farm in a dry belt; at least I would not consider it so.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Why not?


John Herron: Because the water distributed through the locality has a tendency to moisten the whole country.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No, no.


John Herron: Well, I think that is the experience of the men who are in the busi-

ness. It extends for a considerable distance from the irrigation ditches, so 1 would not claim that Lethbridge is really a dry station. There should be one between Calgary and Macleod, or even at Pincher creek, if you can go so far.


George Henry Bradbury: Speaking of experimental farms, I should just like to say that we have a large district lying along Lake Winnipeg. About 2,000 settlers, including Ruthenians, Polanders and Germans have been placed there by the present government, and they find it impossible to make a living on these lands. It has been suggested that the government should establish an experimental farm in that district to instruct those people how to utilize their lands, and I think an experimental station could be established without any great expense. My own opinion is that these people should never have been settled there at all. I do not believe the land is fit for settlement, as it is poor and covered by water half the time. The local government of Manitoba is doing their best to drain it, but even when it is drained, I do not believe it will be of much use. This government had a grand opportunity when they had the lands of the St. Peter's reserve that I was speakng of a few nights ago. There you had 48,000 acres of the best land in the province, a part of which the hon. Minister of Agriculture could have taken for the purposes of an experimental farm. Then the government could have removed the settlers I refer to, and brought them into the neighbourhood of Selkirk and placed them on good lands. It would not have been necessary to have given the lands away, for these men would be prepared to pay reasonable prices, probably three times as much as they were sold for. They are just as fine a class of settlers as are to be found in Manitoba, but the men are forced to leave their places and their families in the summer time go into the cities to seek employment. Something should be done by the government to give these people good homesteads, or they should be placed in a position which would make them independent of the government or of anybody else. Two years ago it was necessary for the government to send out some assistance in the shape of flour, bacon and so on to these people, but they do not want charity; they are too proud for that sort of thing. I would urge upon the government and upon the Minister of Agriculture the advisability of seeing whether they could do something to help these people to get good lands.


Arthur Samuel Goodeve: Last session when this same question was up, the attention of the minister was called to the needs of an experimental station in the southern part of
British Columbia, particularly in the district of Kootenay. We have there a semiarid or dry belt where irrigation would be of great advantage. As a matter of fact, the Canadian Pacific railway and some private corporations have put in irrigation works along the line towards Fort Steele. Last session the minister said he had the matter under consideration, and I merely want to ask him whether anything has been provided in the estimates for any experimental station in that portion of British Columbia?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am very glad to find that experimental farm stations are so popular.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Hear, hear.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Everybody wants one in his, own immediate neighbourhood. It is the best possible tribute to the efliciency of that kind of work. I may say to my hon. friend from British Columbia (Mr. Goo'deve) that I had an oflicer of my department examining different places in the Kootenay and Okanagan countries last summer, and am trying to arrange for the establishment of, I hope, more than one station in what is called the semi-dry belt of British Columbia. I do not desire to say more on the subject at present.


William D. Staples: The minister asks about $98,000 in this vote. Can he state _ to the House how many experimental stations he purposes establishing?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I could not say positively. I hope that every now and then I shall be able to decide upon a location, and as soon as I do I will take the necessary steps to establish a station. I have every hope that I shall be able to establish several within the coming fiscal year.


Glenlyon Campbell: It is very nice for all of us to hear an answer from the minister to my hon. friend from Kootenay, but I have not heard any answer to my suggestion with regard to Dauphin.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friend (Mr, Campbell) and his hon. friend the member for Souris (Mr. Schaffner) were so at variance that I hesitated to decide. I would like to have an opportunity to consider what was said by both of these hon. gentlemen.


Mr. RUSSELL.: Does the minister intend to make any improvements in the poultry department of the experimental farm at Ottawa?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The poultry establishment here has been doing good experimental work along various lines. I do not consider, for my part, that the old poultry house is of the kind that is the best for the keeping of poultry in this part

of Canada; I think the experiments have shown pretty clearly that it is not. I am not yet ready to make a start in building a new poultry establishment there. Some additional buildings have been put up, of a much cheaper character, but fully as successful as the more expensive buildings. Everything in the poultry experiments seems to prove that there is no need for expensive buildings. We are trying experiments also as to the performance of individual hens; which seems ridiculous, perhaps, but it is believed that by selecting the individual bird and their eggs and breeding from these, you may establish an improved breed-not a changed breed, but an improved breed. We wish to carry out these experiments and amplify them as much" as possible.


Joseph Russell: Does the minister consider that the results attained at these experimental farms warrant the amount of money spent on the farm each year?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am in the judgment of those who are fit to judge in these matters, of course. The poultry industry is a very great one, and I would not like to curtail the work done. But I may say that what is done at the Central Experimental Farm is only a portion of the work of the officers in the poultry department. Both Mr.. Gilbert and Mr. Fortier have spent most of their time in attending poultry meetings and farm institutes and giving instructions with regard to poultry. It is very valuable work, and there is great demand for the presence of these gentlemen in all parts of the country.
At six o'clock, committee took recess.
After Recess.
Committee resumed at eight o'clock.


Joseph Russell: It has occurred to me that there would be a certain amount of overlapping in the work of the different experimental farms throughout the country. We have the farm at Guelph controlled by the government of Ontario, and the experimental farm at Macdonald College in Quebec. I would think that these farms would be able to cover the ground in such a way as to serve all the purposes of the farmers, for whose benefit experimental farms are conducted. They would assist them in raising the best farm products of all kinds. I cannot see that the experimental station in Ottawa is the success it should be. I am chiefly interested in the poultry department. I am a farmer and I think that to be of real service to the farmers of the country better work should be done in that department than is done. I do not think it is encouraging to say to a farmer that the yearly average of a pen of fowl would be from


Sydney Arthur Fisher: [DOT]
80 to 100 eggs. That would hardly pay the board of a chicken for a year, and I think the experimental farm is capable of turning out better results than are apparent. As the buildings have been there for 25 years and are out of date, it might be wise to do away with the department here and allow the (provincial institutions to carry on this work. The professors from the other colleges lecture throughout the country and Professor Gilbert of the Central Experimental Farm also lectures. They often meet at gatherings of poultry men and I think that either could give the necessary information at these meetings. If you abolished the poultry department here there would be a saving of $6,000 or $7,000 a year which would be an item worth considering. My idea would be that the Dominion Experimental Farm here should be the principal farm, while the provincial farms should be what you would call substations. There is some work that could be done at the institution here that is not being done by any of these institutions. The poultry industry is very important, and if properly developed would take a foremost place in our agriculture. For the year 1908 the value of the poultry and eggs produced in the United States amounted to something over $625,000,000. Taking the population of the United States and of Canada as a 'basis, our poultry industry here should amount to somewhere in the neighbourhood of $60,000,000 to $70,000,000 a year. I believe it has been estimated at $25,000,000, but I do not think we have any statistics in Canada to prove that. There is no doubt that the demand is much greater than the supply to-day, and our people look to the farmers to meet that demand. The farmers are not paying sufficient attention to the poultry industry, and I 'believe if the proper means were used to show them what there really is in the business they would take it up to a greater extent than they have done. We should have at the Ottawa station a scientific man who would study the diseases of poultry, making a thorough investigation into all the different diseases. Little is known of these diseases either in this country or in the United States. In the last few years men have been engaged in that work in the United States and they have found out a good deal, but still they seem to be to a certain extent groping in the dark. If the minister abandoned some of the work that is now being done in the poultry department and devoted the money thus saved to the employment of an expert of diseases of poultry, he would he doing more for the industry than is now being done.


William Chisholm: I do not agree with the hon. gentleman that the work of the Experimental Farm could be improved

in the way he suggests. His idea is that the branch experimental farms might be dispensed with. I would suggest that what is required is more distribution, decentralization rather than the establishment of central stations. The Experimental Farm here is doing an excellent work, but the farmers throughout the country generally are not in a position to reap the advantages that are accruing because of the fact that the information which is obtained at that farm cannot be sufficiently demonstrated. Whilst the farms are doing good work and the institute lecturers do a great deal in the way of education, the people do not receive the same practical results from the operations of experimental farms as they should. Branch farms should be established all over the country. To explain my position I might quote from the speech of the hon. Minister of Agriculture on Friday. He said:
To instruct and teach the people, object lessons are of the primest importance. If those who live in a particular district can go to an easily accessible central point and there see illustrated the result of good management of the crops and of scientific treatment of tho soil, they can Jearn more than they can by any amount of reading and oral instruction.
The idea I wish to convey is that whilst the Experimental Farm is doing very good work, yet there are other branches of farming besides the cultivation of the soil, and the raising of dairy cows and beef. It is not being done, I contend, in the best way:	My contention is that the
best method would be to have local farms throughout the country. The minister on Friday last referred to the disease known as the Pictou cattle disease. He explained that an experimental station had been established at Antigonish to ascertain the cause of that disease, and he said it had been demonstrated by these experiments that the cause of the disease was a weed called ragwort. The work that was done there was certainly of importance, and I take this opportunity of congratulating the Minister of Agriculture on having in his department men who are capable of conducting such experiments as those at Antigonish in the satisfactory manner in which they were conducted. I refer particularly to the veterinary director, Dr. Rutherford, who had charge of these experiments. He displayed that intelligence and executive ability which would be expected from him by all who know him and his position and standing in his profession. It is not detracting from him if I say that too much credit cannot be also given to Dr. W. H. Pethick, who was immediately in charge and those associated with him. What they accomplished in demonstrating the cause -of that disease, which had baffled the best skill of the continent for many years, is a great tribute to the men in charge of that work. What they have accomplished is the best tribute that could be .paid to the work that was done there. It was shown that the Pictou cattle disease was caused by a weed known as the ragwort.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We will come to another vote in connection with that, and perhaps-it would be better for my hon. friend to defer his remarks until then.


William Chisholm: I was just leading up to the question of experimental farms. I am going to ask that an experimental farm be established in my part of the country, and I am trying to lead up to the reason why I shall make that request. The Minister of Agriculture stated the other day that sheep would destroy that weed known as the ragwort, and he intimated that he had been encouraging the farmers by assisting them in the way of improving their breeds of sheep, pointing out that in that way a profitable industry might be established, and in addition to that this pest of the ragwort could be gotten rid of. There is no question that sheep will destroy the ragwort, and the farmers of the weed infected district should feel a sense of gratitude towards the minister and Department of Agriculture for what they have done in that respect. I am quite sure that-I am speaking for them in stating that they appreciate all the good work that has been done. They appreciate the fact that the minister has sent, as he stated in his speech, and as is stated in the report of the Department of Agriculture, a number of pure bred rams into that infected district which, after being pastured in the summer, were sold to the farmers. It is all very well to say that the sheep industry is a profitable industry, but the thing is to demonstrate to the farmer that it is a profitable industry. What I am going to put forward is the fact that one of the things that we require in Nova Scotia is a sheep farm. The government have done a great deal for agriculture generally. Beef and dairy cattle have been improved gradually. There has been a great deal of information disseminated with regard to other stock, but in so far as the poor little lamb is concerned he is obliged to bleat just as of yore. The contrast that exists between the condition of the farmers to-day, and that of twenty-five years ago is striking. You will find better cattle, the cattle better .looked after, and a greater degree of prosperity. That is due, to a large extent, to lectures at the farmers' institutes, it is due also, to a considerable extent, to the work of the agricultural societies, but more than all it is due to the fact that when one farmer starts out on a certain line his neighbours

are bound to copy him. The farmer goes to the experimental station, he sees how things are done, how the stock is looked after, how it is housed and fed, and he, unconsciously, if you like, copies to a certain extent and good results follow. The Department of Agriculture has done a great deal in a way to inform the people, through literature and speakers, as to how to raise sheep, but there has been no practical demonstration given. They are no farther advanced than they were twenty-five years ago as far as sheep are concerned. Nova Scotia and -the maritime provinces offer one of the best fields in Canada and perhaps in the world for the raising of sheep. I venture to say that the highlands of Scotland cannot surpass the maritime provinces. Nova Scotia is in a position to rise sheep with profit, and to make sheep' husbandry an industry that will be of immense advantage to the country as a whole. The climatic conditions are favourable. As the minister pointed out in his address, and as was pointed out by Mr. Spencer, who has written an article on sheep husbandry, to which the minister referred, there are a million acres of suitable pasture land there. It has a well adapted climate, and with its short nutritious native grass interspersed with, white clover, Nova Scotia is particularly adapted to sheep raising. There is a large proportion of this area of one million acres which is not suitable for the feeding of dairy or beef cattle. The bleak, exposed hills can be utilized for sheep raising. This is a type of land not suitable' for ordinary cattle, but the conditions in so far as climate and soil are concerned are particularly favourable to the sheep industry. A great deal has been done for fruit culture. I think there have been about thirty-two model orchards established for the purpose of showing fanners who go in for fruit the best manner of prosecuting that industry, and how the best fruit can be produced. We have an experimental farm at Nappan which is more devoted to beef and dairy cattle, and we - have also an experimental farm at Truro, but there has been no practical demonstration of what can be done with sheep. The report of Mr. Spencer, and the report of the Minister of Agriculture, both bear me out in saying that sheep raising should be a most profitable industry in Nova Scotia. What do we find? We find that instead of that industry being in a prosperous state it is retrograding. We find that there are fewer sheep to-day in Nova Scotia than there were twenty-five, thirty or forty years ago. I have the figures of the number of sheep in Nova Scotia for a number of years., taken from the year-book, and they are as follows:


William Chisholm: Number of
Year.	sheep.
1871			 398,377
1881		
1891		
1901		
You will observe a gradual decrease in the number of sheep where there should have been a large increase, because of the fact that Nova Scotia is particularly adapted to sheep raising, and because in the last few years the prices of lamb, mutton and wool have been favourable. As a matter of fact, there are only 5-86 sheep per farm in Nova Scotia at the present time. It may be said that Nova Scotia is not an agricultural ' province. Let me deny that fact. Let me say too that in Nova Scotia the value of farm products, in the last year, increased over the previous year by upwards of $3,000,000, which shows that farming is not retrograding. I had occasion, Mr. Chairman, to interview the Minister of Agriculture with Tespect to the establishment of a sheep farm in Nova Scotia, and I suggested that it should be established in the county of Antigonish or within the region of the ragwort infected district. It would only be natural to ask that, because of the fact, in the first place, that experiments were conducted there to show the cause of the Picto-u cattle disease for which the government have paid a lot of money in the years gone by, and because of the fact that it was demonstrated that sheep would destroy the ragwort. It is only natural to suppose that in that locality sheep farms might be established. I have no doubt that it would be a profitable business from that start, and that it would be of incalculable benefit to the people of Nova Scotia. In his address on Friday last, the Minister of Agriculture referred to what had been done with respect to the experiments in the county of Antigonish, and he was about to conclude a sentence with, as I had hoped, an assurance that this experimental farm would be established in our province. He went on to speak about what had been done witn respect to the ragwort. He said:
We immediately set to work to try experiments with sheep on a farm in the neighbourhood of Antigonish, and we showed clearly in the course of three seasons that the pasturing of sheep on a piece of land infested with that weed, would destroy it and absolutely clean the land of it within a few years. The result is that to-day we have been able

Unfortunately, he was interrupted. I was in hopes that he would have completed the sentence by saying that:	We will
follow up, and finish the work we have begun, and establish a sheep farm in Antigonish. I had hopes that he would carry out the resolution which was passed by the

farmers' convention of Nova Scotia, held on the 23rd February, at New Glasgow, and which was as follows:
We, the committee appointed to consider the promotion of the sheep-raising industry of Nova Scotia, beg to report and recommend as follows:-	_
With regard to the promotion of the sheep industry, we recommend that, whereas the ragwort and other noxious weeds are alarmingly spreading in the eastern part of Nova Scotia- and Cape Breton, and it has been demonstrated, by experiments, made by the Department of Agriculture of the Dominion of Canada, that the ragwort has been the cause of the cattle disease of Pictou county, and that sheep offer the most effective and practical means of eradicating this noxious weed, at the same time thriving thereon, and whereas we believe sheep to be among the most profitable stock on a farm, and regarding, with apprehension, the diminution of the sheep-raising industry. in this province, and believing that the eastern part of Nova Scotia, as a whole, to be best adapted to sheep-raising, and being the area, at present, as most infected with ragwort, therefore we, the Farmers' Association, in session at New Glasgow, recommend that the Dominion government, having already done considerable work along the line of investigating the noxious weed question, be memorialized through our federal representatives, requesting that board to establish an experimental sheep station somewhere in eastern Nova Scotia, with a view to stimulating the sheep-raising industry.
The Minister of Agriculture received the representations made by me to him and to the officers of his department on this subject, but pointed out some difficulties in the way of establishing a sheep farm. These difficulties to my mind were the reasons why I expected and hoped the farm would be established. One thing the Minister of Agriculture cannot be accused of cowardice, and I felt that he would grapple with the situation, because of the difficulties that confronted him and that he would be in a position to assure the House when he brought down his estimates, that an experimental system would be established for the purpose of demonstrating to the farmers of Nova Scotia how sheep should be looked after, that that province was specially adapted to sheep raising, and for the purpose of encouraging them to engage in that- branch of farming with profit to themselves and to the country at large.


Mr. MACDONALD.: I desire to add a word or two in corroboration of the views of my hon. friend from Antigonish. I might be permitted to point out that while we have an experimental farm on the border between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, it is situated in the vicinity of the marshland country which surrounds the Bay of Fundy in those two provinces, the fertility and productiveness of which, as the minister well! knows, are possibly unequalled in the Dominion of Canada. Therefore in the conditions as they exist that farm is not of so much value to other portions of the maritime provinces which are not as favourably situated. In the eastern part of Nova Scotia, beginning with Pictou and extending to Cape North in the island of Cape Breton, there exists a condition somewhat similar to what is found in the old country, where upland farming has been carried on with a great degree of success. When we consider that for over a hundred years these upland farms have been compelled to furnish the products necessary to meet the industrial conditions of that portion of the province, we shall realize at once that their power of reproduction has to a great extent become impaired. The desire of the people to turn their attention in some other direction is but a natural consequence of the Conditions that exist, and I think the energy of the minister might be very well directed towards the encouragement of sheep culture in that portion of the province. I am aware that he has looked to some extent into this question, and I trust that it will be speedily dealt with by him. When we realize that on the hills and in the valleys of eastern Nova Scotia, the conditions are such as hardly exist anywhere else in the Dominion, and are especially suited to the sheep industry, we shall at once become impressed with the idea that it is a matter with which the government should deal. The proposition to inaugurate experimental farms for sheep raising in that portion of the province does not involve an expenditure on the part of the government from which there would be no return. On almost all the other experimental farms the government spends a great deal more money than it gets back. The returns from the crops do not at all compensate for the experiments made in the various branches of agriculture. But, I am assured by those who have looked into this question that there is no reason why two or three sheep farms established in the eastern part of Nova Scotia should not yield returns great enough to meet or almost meet the expenditure in establishing them and carrying them on. While I do not begrudge our friends in the West anything that will develop the agricultural possibilities of their great country, while they are asking for experimental farms in the dry belt, the grain belt and every other kind of belt, and while the minister has been generous in meeting these requests, I would ask him to lend an ear to the request which we from the province of Nova Scotia are making, which will result not only in great benefit to the people interested, but in a return to the department that will almost, if not altogether compensate it for the expenditure involved.


George Taylor: Might I suggest that the minister allow this item for experimental farms to stand over? The hon. member for East Grey (Mr. Sproule) has something to say on this question, and he is not here to-night. We shall have to ask that some one of these items stand over, and I think it will facilitate matters to let this item stand and take up the non-contentious ones.


Mr. D. A. LAFORTUNE. (Montcalm).: (Translation.) Mr. Speaker, I cannot forbear the pleasure of making a few remarks on the subject which is now before the House. The hon. gentleman from East Peterborough (Mr. Sexsmith) complained a moment #go of the manner in' wdiich the piggery is kept at the experimental farm. I may state to the hon. gentleman that to a certain extent I agree with him on that point; not that I would blame the department of the Minister of Agriculture on that account, but merely to call the latter's attention to the state of things in that connection, and request him, after improving, as he has done, all other departments of the farm, to take up in the near future the improvement of the piggery and deal with it in the same way.
I generally visit the experimental farm at least twice a year, partly through curiosity, and largely on account of the profit to be derived therefrom. The horse stables are very well kept; the horses are very well housed, in quarters which are kept clean and are up-to-date, as they say in English. The cow stable is such as none better could be desired. The cows are kept exceptionally clean, the herd is made up of fine animals, of superb appearance. In short, nothing better than this stable could be desired.
Now, on the day before yesterday, I visited the piggery. I saw there Yorkshires, Berkshires, White Chesters and Tamworths, the latter with a hide red almost beyond imagination. These are very fine animals, of excellent breeds. The only thing to do, in my' humble opinion, and in this I agree with the hon. member for East Peterborough, is to improve the buildings, which are not quite such as they should be. As for the stock, nothing better could be desired. However, if I was correctly informed by the men as late as the day before yesterday, it is the intention to rebuild part of the piggery. That is necessary, indeed, and I hope that the minister will include in the estimates the required vote.
The wrny things are managed a,t the experimental farm cannot be praised too hivhly. Those who, like myself, take an interest in agriculture, have observed the great strides which have been made as regards horses, cattle, sheep, poultry, and in a general way the stock kept at the experimental farm. Everything is really


Edward Mortimer Macdonald: fine. It is a pleasure to go around with a view to following as best one can in the footsteps of these people.
Why do we find such prosperity throughout the country, and especially among the farming classes? It is because agricultural lecturers have taught throughout the province how farmers might succeed in increasing their profits and improving everything in connection with their industry. Formerly, we used to send as we now do our apples, our poultry, our eggs, and our cheese across the ocean, but those products reached the English market in bad condition. Owing, to the efforts of the Minister of Agriculture, who started refrigeration on a large scale on board ships, those products now reach their destination in as good and fresh a condition as on the day they were shipped. To whom, I ask once more, are we indebted for this: to the minister who has charge of that great department.
Why have we considerably increased the revenue from our farms? It is because we obtained from the experimental farm- thanks to the generosity of the exchequer- specially well selected samples of grain. We sow that grain. From a small initial quantity we gradually obtain larger quantities, and in that way we soon secure crops of first rate quality.
We obtain eggs-I have myself ordered three hatchings of Brahmas-to improve the breeds which we now have. There we find Plymouth Rocks, Wyandots-, Spanish, Minorcas, Leghorns and Brahmas. We reap great benefits through the assistance of that farm, and I hope we will be in a position to profit by it more and more from year to year.
Hon. members who preceded me have made certain statements in reference J.o sheep. In my opinion, a farm without sheep is incomplete. In the case of the province of Quebec-and I pray the minister to bear this in mind-sheep breeding has gone down to a large extent. And why? Because sheep are devoured by dogs. It is to my knowledge that many farmers have given up the sheep business on account of that. Recently I came across a statute of the province of Ontario whereby municipalities are required to constitute a special fund towards compensating farmers to the extent of two-thirds of the loss sustained, whenever the owner of the dog remains unknown. That is most excellent legislation. I have drawm the attention of the Minister of Agriculture of the province of Quebec to that enactment and suggested that he should introduce a similar Act for our province. In a single year my neighbour had fifteen sheep devoured by dogs whose owners could not be found. Once the sheep are strangled it is too late to collar the dogs. If only we know who the

owners are, we might sue them for damages, but these people are never in a hurry to admit their responsibility.
Numbers of my fellow citizens in the province of Quebec have ceased altogether beeping sheep on that account. I suggest that the minister should introduce an Act similar to that in force in Ontario. A tax or license might be exacted in the case of dovs, and the revenue obtained therefrom applied to build up a fund which would enable the municipalities to compensate farmers whose sheep have been strangled. It is admitted by all that the breeding of sheep is highly profitable, insures substantial returns, but as I said, that branch of farming should be protected.
We have learned from the Department of Agriculture how to protect ourselves against insects which prey on orchards and crops. We have learned how to plant and prune trees, hope to shape the head and look after the roots. In a great many cases farmers plant trees which die two or three years after. Why? Because they do not know how to plant them, protect them, feed the root system, shelter them against the wind. A good many even dispensed with the use of props. Well, to-day, thanks to the instructions given by the Department of Agriculture, we know how to plant trees and keep them healthy, and we are no longer obliged to replace them every three or four years.
We have learned how to look after manure and home-made fertilizers, we know the difference between a cold, a warm and a medium manure. We know how to take care of them. Many farmers were in the habit of leaving the manure in a heap all winter long next to the stable door. The best part of it was carried away in the streams, lost along fences and among the stones. To-day farmers look more closely after their own interest and know how to get the most out of farm manures. They know besides where to apply them to the best advantage and are greatly benefited thereby. How have we come to learn these things? Through the Department of Agriculture, and through its staff of lecturers. Why is the county which I have the honour to represent so rich and prosperous? It is on account of its having been looked after as it had the right to expect.
We have learned how to prepare tobacco in a special way, and the county of Montcalm is in a position to compete henceforth with the best producers in the counties of Essex and Rouville. Owing to the establishment of a government experimental station, we are now able to prepare hot beds, to put in the seed, plant the seedlings, look after the young plants, and later on cure the tobacco properly. How is it that we have succeeded from that time on in producing a first-class product? It is because we have had on the spot a Mr. Chevalier, who has been sent from the experimental farm, to teach farmers how to grow tobacco, prepare and deliver it on the markets.
The hon. Minister of Agriculture is a practical man, well acquainted with the details of farming. I remember a time when that department was presided over by a medical man, a man of parts, whom I do not wish to run down, and regarding whom I would not utter an unpleasant word; but one day that he happened to enter a farm yard, he thought fit to congratulate the owner on the fine geese that were about them. ' I beg your pardon, sir, replied ' the farmer, but they are ducks.' That minister did not know the difference between a goose and a pekin duck. The present minister can tell the difference, having spent his life on the farm as a practical farmer.
I shall not speak any longer. I wished to make these few remarks as a matter of fairness to the hon. minister and to my constitutents. I wish to impress them with the fact that their representative takes some interest in agriculture, has learned something of it, and is in a position to discuss such questions without blushing.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I wish to thank my hon. friend from Montcalm (Mr. Lafortune) for the kind references he has made to my administration of the department and for his appreciation of the success of the wotk of the experimental farms. I had hoped that we would get through the agriculture items this evening so that the officers might return to the farm, but in deference to the wish of my hon. friend (Mr. Geo Taylor) who wishes the hon. member for Grey (Mr. Soroule) to be present when we are considering this item, we will pass on to some other thing in the hope that progress- will be made.
For the development of the dairying and fruit industries, and the improvement and transportation of, the sale and trade in, food and other agricultural products, $75,000.


George Taylor: There is $10,000
increase here?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: This work is expanding all the time. In response to the wishes of the people we shall have to appoint several fruit inspectors in British Columbia and the northwest, another one in Ontario, and another in the maritime provinces. The increase of $10,000 is largely due to this.
Towards the encouragement of the establishment of cold storage warehouses for the better preservation and handling of perishable food products, $56,250.


George Taylor: Was the vote of $75,000 expended last year?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Only $25,000 was spent last fiscal year, but we will have to pay

other sums in connection with new cold storages.


Mr. EDWARDS.: How many applications have you had- from Ontario?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We have had an application each from Morrisburg, Peterborough, Trenton, St. Marys, Owen Sound, Hamilton, Palmerston.


Mr. PORTER.: Is there any advance given to each cold storage before the plant has been completed?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We have never paid anything before it is completed.


Edward Guss Porter: Is there any exception to that general statement?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.


John Herron: Has there been any application from Alberta for assistance to cold storage?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We had a tentative application two years ago, but the promoter died and' nothing was done. I understand they are now organizing to take up the project again.


John Herron: I understand they were applying to the government for the 30 per cent assistance given under the Act?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: There has been no formal application yet.


William Cameron Edwards: What are the objections to advancing part of the cost as the work of building the plant proceeds?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It would be contrary to the Act, which says that we shall pay the first instalment of 15 per cent on the completion of the work ready for business. It would be objectionable to pay before the plant was completed, because they might never complete it.


Charles Jonas Thornton: Have the fruit inspectors superintendence of the cold storages?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.


Charles Jonas Thornton: I would like to ask if an inspector is allowed to be connected with a factory?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Do you mean a fruit inspector?


Charles Jonas Thornton: Yes.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Certainly not.


Charles Jonas Thornton: Complaints have been made to that effect.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If any such complaint is brought to my attention I will see to it at once. The whole time of the fruit inspectors, when they are employed by the government, is given to the work of the government, and if any fruit inspector is


Sydney Arthur Fisher: himself engaged in packing, it is distinctly contrary to his contract with us.


Charles Jonas Thornton: Is he allowed to be a member of the firm.?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would not like him to be even a stockholder in a joint stock concern, but he undoubtedly should not be a member of the firm. I would not like to say off-hand that he should not be a stockholder in a joint stock company, although I think even that would be objectionable.


Charles Jonas Thornton: He would not be allowed to go out and buy apples?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Certainly not. I might say, however, that some of my inspectors are employed temporarily, not for the whole year, and when they are not employed they are at liberty to do as they like. But during their term of employment with the government they certainly cannot deal in or buy fruit.


Charles Jonas Thornton: A case has been brought to my attention where an inspector was buying apples during the fall months, while he was acting as inspector.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If I could get such information I would certainly cease to employ that man.


William D. Staples: I would like to inquire whether the minister has given any consideration of the representations made to him from the people of Alberta as to the establishment of a cold storage system throughout the west. Mr. Palmer, I think, led the deputation when it was down here a couple of years ago, and I have had communications from him and I presume other members too, asking us to urge upon the minister to take some action along the lines suggested. It is one of the most important questions that could be considered from an agricultural standpoint. We all know the importance of the cattle trade in western Canada, and if the minister would- only take hold of this thing seriously, the cattle trade in that part of the country would increase much more than it * has done during the past few years. The hon. member for Victoria, (Mr. White) I think, had a resolution on the order paper this year, dealing with this question. Unfortunately it was left to a late period in the session, and was not brought up. I looked forward to a keen debate on that resolution, but things have been jockeyed in such a manner-


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Order, order.


William D. Staples: If the minister rises to a point of order


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not think the hon. gentleman has a right to talk about the business of the House being jockeyed.


William D. Staples: That is a term I find very often introduced in this House. There is jockeying done practically every day as to who should get the floor, and as to how-matters shall come up in the House. If it is not a parliamentary term I shall certainly withdraw it, if the chairman asks me to do so.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would like to have the ruling of the chairman.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: I can hardly say I am sufficiently acquainted with the term to rule it out of order, but if the hon. gentleman can find another term that would convey his meaning, it would relieve me.
I would not be willing to infer that it meant anything disagreeable or wrong, so far as my knowledge goes, but if the hon. gentleman can modify it, it would relieve me.


William D. Staples: At the moment I cannot think of a word that conveys the same idea. At the same time I urn willing to submit to your ruling, Mr. Chairman, and if it is not a proper word to use then I shall withdraw it, but I understand the chairman has not said that it is an improper word, and I presume it will be allowed to stay on the pages of ' Hansard.' This question of cold storage is a very important one in western Canada. It is a system that should have been adopted in this House, and I think it would have been adopted in this House if the resolution of the member for Victoria (Mr. White) had not been placed in a position on the order paper that prevented it from being discussed. For that reason the matter has remained without getting the consideration I think it is entitled to from this House. But it does not excuse the minister by any means. The minister has been aware of the situation for many years, and yet he has been content to patter along behind and has not taken -up the position that, as Minister of Agriculture, I think he should. He is too dilatory, , he hangs back. He wants to get down to bigger issues, and he forgets not only local conditions, but the conditions of this whole Dominion. We have now almost come to the close of the session, And no Action has been taken, but I hope the minister, even at this late period, will take steps to institute such a system throughout the Dominion, and build up the cattle trade and the other important industries of this country. It is most important, because while we are cultivating fruit and other cereals in the west, owing to the fact that we have a very fertile soil, the day is not far distant,
in fact it has already arrived in western Canada, when the farmers have to introduce mixed farming. However, I suppose the minister is content to let it drag along without taking action. I simply rise to call the minister's attention to the state of affairs, and I would urge him to take some action and not make it necessary for us to bring the matter to the attention of the House during the next four or five years.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would be very glad to have a discussion on the question, and to go into it. But when a motion is on the order paper, a discussion at this stage would be out of order.


Mr. W. H. WHITE.: I would like to say a word in explanation to the member for Macdonald (Mr Staples) as to why the resolution was not placed earlier on the order paper. It was a resoluton that was passed by the United Farmers and Stock Growers of Alberta. Some time in February they sent a resolution to me and asked me if i would take the matter up. I immediately placed it on the order paper, though it was a little late in the season. Since that time I have written to the minister asking him if he would put in the estimates a sum of money to enable the matter to be investigated and to see whether this project was practicable or not.
I had a letter from the minister indicating .that he did not have any confidence in it, or in the promoters of this scheme. I may say with regard to the promoters, Mr. Palmer and Mr. Greenstreet, that they are two gentlemen who have had a great deal of experience along that line, I understand, with the people who control the cold storage plant in New Zealand, as well as in Cape Colony. As most of the western members will remember when they visited Ottawa last year, to see the minister, they simply asked for a guarantee of two-thirds of the amount of their bonds . I understand they, have already subscribed $500,000 of their own money and they only ask the government to guarantee the bonds. We must ship our cattle five thousand miles to market, and any one who knows anything about cattle knows that at the end of so long a journey cattle do not land in .good shape. Therefore, we are getting practically nothing for our light cattle;. Last year, light cattle sold throughout the west for from two to three cents per pound. In the spring we got a little more-up to five cents. There is Only a small percentage of western cattle . that are fit for export, and therefore command a high price. In a letter from the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Fisher) that hon. gentleman states that there is not enough cattle to keep up a continuous supply. I do not know what he means by a ' continuous supply ' or how large a plant he consi-

ders necessary in order to handle the cattle business. But, according to the report sen! out by the Agriculture Department in 1908, there was some 180,000 cattle shipped to Winnipeg, some for export, and some for local consumption. The condition in the west is simply this: In Alberta, there is a great deal of waste land, for that province is not all wheat land like Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We have a lot of hay land, and other land not fit for farming. Therefore, the cattle industry is important to the people of Alberta as is wheat or any other grain. But, unless we have something like this proposition of Mr. Palmer to handle our light beef, we must go out of the cattle businesss. Last year, some
4,000	cows-breeding stock-were shipped out of the Victoria district along. The farmers are going out of the business because they find it not profitable to carry it on.


Richard Blain: Where were they sent to?


William Henry White: Some were sent here to the east, but many were disposed of in the west. A considerable quantity of this cow beef went to the railway camps of the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern. Ten or fifteen years ago, when there was more vacant land' and the cattle were allowed to roam, beef could be raised a great deal more cheaply than at present. At one time, we could grow beef profitably for three cents per pound. To-day, we have to pay as high as $10 to $20 an acre for land for grazing our cattle. Therefore, we must have a higher average price for our beef, and until we have some way of handling the lighter beef, shipping it out chilled" or something of that kind, it will be impossible to continue the business. Of course, the export business will go on as usual, but this project would give us a market for our small and light beef. I wish to be clear on this matter. Some hon. members may have thought, as the hon member for Macdonald (Mr. Staples,) did, that I was not very anxious to bring this matter forward.


William D. Staples: I believe you were.


William Henry White: I have been in the cattle business for many years, and have been forced out of the business for the reasons I have stated here that there is no way to handle the smaller or lighter cattle. To show the importance of this matter, T may state that the resolution to which I have reference was passed by every branch of the united farmers of Alberta, as well as by the stock growers. This bodv has over 5,000 members, and in their letter to me they claim that they represent nearly half a million head of cattle. So, I think the matter is important enough for the minister to consider it seriously, and Mr. W. H. WHITE.
to spend a reasonable amount of money to try and get this business established.


John Herron: The situation of the cattle business in the west has been well explained by my hon. friend from Victoria (Mr. W. H. White). The whole province of Alberta was a cattle country a few years ago, but it is falling off so rapidly that, if it continues, in a short time we should have to import beef for our own consumption. We believe there is no salvation for that western country from a state of depression in the live stock trade except through the suggestion that has been made-that the government should take up the establishment of cold storage for the purpose of chilling beef for the export trade. It has already been explained that because of the distance of the British market our beef will not land there in proper condition to kill. Still, we are in a more favourable position than the countries that supply the bulk of the meat, including pork, beef and mutton; to the British market. The meat that goes from New Zealand and Australia must be frozen, making it worth only half as much as fresh meat. On the other hand, I understand the chilled meat is worth practically as much as fresh. If we had means to chill our beef it would enable us to land it in England in a condition to command a good price. There is no way by which our farmers can continue much longer in the business in which they have been engaged except by affording them a substantial market. The ordinary farmer of our portion of the country-the same condition exists all over the province-brings his hogs to market generally in the fall of the year, and as soon as the full supply comes in, the market being onlv local, the price drops even below the cost of production. And almost the same is true of beef. We cannot ship it profitably in the live state, and we have no means of shipping it in any other form. There can be no profit in the business unless the _ country will advance the money to establish such a system as has been proposed. I think the idea is worthy of the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and the government. I admit that it will cost a good deal of jnoney-a great deal more, I think, than the minister is prepared to expend at the present time. I think it might go to several millions. If they were to guarantee the bonds as has been suggested to two-thirds of the amount required-and as, my hon. friend suggests it would be only for the time being as the business would pay for itself-it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to the western country, because we have there the conditions under which beef and pork can be produced cheaper than in any other part of Canada. We have the climate, and a great deal of open land where beef and hogs

can be produced cheaply. These things all go towards producing a meat product cheap. This is a very serious matter, and I think the .minister should undertake a large scheme of that kind, not go into it in the little pleasant way we are doing from year to year, contributing towards some private enterprise some few dollars after a plant has been constructed and in operation. The government should take that matter up, and I do not think the minister should wait until these conditions arise. He and his officers should ascertain what is needed for the agricultural industry of the country and he should have his share out of the treasury to advance the interests of agriculture. We .spend money on every other department and what is left is what the minister gets. The minister, with his officers, should make an esti-' mate of what is required, and as agriculture is the leading industry of the country, it should come first in the estimates. Instead of spending $400,000 or' $500,000 or $900,000 as we are doing to-day, we should not be afraid to spend as many millions if necessary to advance the general interests of this industry, because when agriculture is down in Canada every other industry is down. It is the first and leading industry, it is the backbone of the country, and no industry is prosperous when the farmers are not prosperous. It should come in for first consideration from the minister.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The problem as put forward in several representations that have been made to me was so large and so doubtful of success that I confess I could not see my way to take it up seriously. It is, however, a very big and important question, and I shall certainly take pains to make inquiry and what investigations we can through the officers of the department in regard to it.


Mr. MEIGHEN.: It is true that a resolution is on the order paper dealing with the same topic, and that to some extent would rule out the present discussion, but in view of the fact that it is impossible to take that up this session, and that the undertaking contemplated in the question is so transcendently important, it seems to me the discussion should proceed further, at all events until we get some more explicit statement of policy from the Minister of Agriculture. I need not emphasize, nor could I if I wished, the importance of the proposed undertaking of establishing a chilled meat industry more than has been done by the speakers who have preceded me. I would only refer to this fact, that while the exportation of cattle and the facility of that exportation, are topics which it is supposed more directly concern cattlemen and rangers throughout western Canada, none the less they have to do in just as important a manner with the general 234
farming industry of the whole of Canada, In Manitoba the cattle industry is marching very rapidly to extinction. Where they had ten cattle ten years ago, they have one to-day. The cattle are going out of existence. Why? Simply because it has been impossible under existing transport conditions to make them pay. The result of that, as the Minister of Agriculture, being such a practical farmer, well knows, is that the land values and the land production are affected in much the same degree. It is impossible even in a grain country to keep up the average production of grain without having cattle on the land. As a result, even in our province which is practically a grain province, the amount of * land given to summer fallow has to be increased each year because there are no cattle there to keep up the fertility of the soil. The same thing will take place throughout the west. It becomes more and more important the farther west one goes. As the hon. member for Victoria (Mr. Hughes) has well pointed out, the cattle industry in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Alberta particularly, is just as important as and should be more important than the grain industry. I understand that the proposal put to the government very fully and explicitly was along the lines of the formation of a chilled meat exportation company, operating on the same principle as the Pullman Company with a capitalization of $2,000,000, of which the promoters subscribe in cash $500,000, the balance to be guaranteed by the government in the form of four per cent debentures. I, of course, will not say that the proposal as put to the government should have been accepted, but I will say that it presents some very good features, features that should have prevented it from being stigmatized by the minister as unworthy of consideration. I may be wrong in my details, but from what I have read, the company put up $500,000, the remainder to be guaranteed by the government, and the guarantee to be secured by a first mortgage on all the assets of the company. That would give a margin of 25 per cent against loss on the guarantee, and at the same time, by a proper system of supervision, the government could see that all the money produced by the guarantee was expended on plant and works, and consequently that there would be assets to answer for every dollar of guarantee. Consequently it bears on its face the aspect of bona fides, there seems to be no juggling about it. The first loss would fall on the promoters. I know nothing as to Mr. Palmer; the hon. member for Victoria (Mr. Hughes) appears to know something of his history and his success, but at all events if the government are not disposed to accept the proposition that has been put down, they should either r-8



undertake this work as a government undertaking or invite propositions of a different character. The minister, I understand, has taken the ground, although not in the House, that there is not sufficient production at the present time to warrant such an expenditure as would make adequate a system for the transportation of chilled meats. That may be true, but the minister must realize that it only requires the expenditure, and that the system would follow the guarantee and the business would follow in its wake. It is simply because cattle cannot be made to pay in that part of the country, where they should of all places pay, that there is not now the foundation for this industry. In eastern Canada, the market for the cattle is largely local. In western Canada that is not, and that cannot be the case. The market must be an export market and must be an adequate market if there is to he cattle industry. I think the minister should not be too much impressed by the present cattle situation in the west as not warranting the expenditure which would be necessary for this system. I do not purpose going further, but I would urge the minister, in justice to the House and in justice to the western members who are particularly interested in this question, that he do not dismiss it so briefly, as he seems disposed to do at the present time, but that he state to us-and it will be of use to use in future discussions-what specific objection he finds as a representative of the government to the proposals already made, what he considers defective or faulty in these proposals, and that he indicate to the House along what general lines he is prepared to go, because I may say once and for all, that certain, at all events, of the western members are determined to see that action, not too remote, is taken along this line.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: All I can say to my hon. friend is that without having my notes and without having the proposition before me,
I could not undertake to discuss it. If the motion had been reached I would have been prepared to go into the matter. I have not all the information here, and I could not possibly answer the question that my hon. friend has put to me.
' Patent Record,' $17,000.


George Taylor: Is this the same amount as last year?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: I would like to ask the minister whether he has taken into consideration the appointment of a deputy Minister of Agriculture. If he will look back to the year 1903, when his attention was called to the fact that he had then appointed a deputy minister, he will find that he made the statement that as far as the present deputy minister was con-Mr. MEIGHEN.
cerned he did not expect that ho would be looked upon as deputy Minister of Agriculture. I wish to read the minister's own words to show that such was the case. In reply to my hon. friend from Halton (Mr. Henderson) he made use of this language, as will be found on page 4356, ' Hansard,' 1903:
My hon. friend (Mr. Henderson), of course,' must be constitutionally blind to the appearance of anybody having a seat on the floor who is not a member of this House. I can tell the hon. member that the deputy Minister of Agriculture now is Mr. George F. O'Halloran, and that he was appointed within the last year to succeed the late deputy, Mr. W. B. Scarth. Mr. O'Halloran is a lawyer by profession and has been practising for many years, first of all in the eastern townships where he was born and brought up, aud afterwards in the city of Montreal. He is a lawyer of repute and standing, and is specially competent, I believe, and my colleagues believe with me to deal with these matters connected with the Department ol Agriculture ' which are not entirely agricultural in their nature. There are not only the agricultural branches hut a number of other branches such as patents, trade marks, designs, copyrights, statistics and various other things. The mainly agricultural matters in the department are chiefly in the hands of experts. Dr. Saunders, the director of the experimental farm, Prof. Robertson, in the dairying and agricultural branch, Dr. Rutherford in the veterinary branch, and Dr. Montizambert in the quarantine branch deal with the matters affecting these branches. The deputy minister has the supervision as depuity minister of these branches, but has nothing to do with what I might call the technical or expert carrying on of the branches. The other branches I have alluded to do require the superintendence of the deputy minister directly and personally, and therefore this gentleman was chosen jrarticularly to look after these branches.
That is, Mr. Chairman, that the present deputy head of this department was supposed to look particularly after the census and statistics branch, a branch that is increasing in volume and duties, and which must continue to increase, and if so, it certainly is high time, in view of the many complaints that have been made about the Department of Agriculture, that the minister give his attention to this subect. There have been constant complaints. I saw only recently that one of the papers was advertising and offering a prize of $10 for the best essay showing what the present Minister of Agriculture has done for agriculture. I am not casting any reflections upon the deputy minister as a mian. In an agricultural country such as we have here, it is certainly time we took this matter into our serious consideration, and that the minister got to work and revolutionized his department along progressive lines. He can, perhaps, tell us

why he has not taken any action in this regard since 1903?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do not think I can add very much to what I said in 1903. The different branches of the department are in charge of experts, each of whom deals with his own particular branch. The deputy minister is the business administrator and supervisor of them all. They come to him and report, as they would come to the minister, and he deals with them on the reports of the experts. There are other branches in his department which are not technical in their character, and the deputy minister deals with and administers them. I do not think that agriculture has in any way suffered, but, on the contrary, I think it has been successfully carried on and aided by the department and the administration of the present deputy minister. The hon. gentleman has referred to some newspaper paragraph and has stated that a reward has been offered, but we do not know whether that award has been made. I have heard something of it, but I have not heard yet whether the essay has been sent in.
Census and statistics, $50,000.


George Taylor: This increase is due to the preparation of the census?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes. The increase is almost entirely due to the printing of the schedules and getting ready for the census next year.


Mr. J. D. REID.: When do you commence the census?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: In June, 1911.


John Waterhouse Daniel: How long does it take to get the population of the whole Dominion?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That would depend on the force of clerks that we put on. Heretofore it has taken in the neighbourhood of five years for the whole compilation-not just the compilation of the numbers of people; that can be done x'n six months and perhaps less. But. I hope to force on the compilation of this coming census. The last census and the last before that took fully five years. When I came into office in 1896 there were some census clerks still compiling. I would like to have this work done in three years.


John Waterhouse Daniel: I want to know how long it really takes to get the numbers of people, not to have the compilation made. Is the census of the people taken in one day in the whole Dominion?
Mr. -FISHER. No.


John Waterhouse Daniel: In how many days?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: In this country we adopt what is called the de jure census, and not the de facto census. The census is taken
as on a specified day, but the census enumerator frequently does not reach the individuals all over the country for perhaps a week or three weeks after that day has passed, and he takes down the people that were present on that day in the neighbourhood. Last census the enumeration took less than three weeks, and the census before it took six weeks; this year I should think it would take in the neighbourhood of a month from the time the census commences until the enumeration is complete.


John Dowsley Reid: Last census they classified shoemakers, and tailors, and blacksmiths as manufacturers.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That was the census before. Last census no one was classed as a manufacturer who employed less than five hands working in his establishment.


John Dowsley Reid: Will that be done this census?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


John Dowsley Reid: Then, every tailor in every town will be put down as a manufacturer?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not if he sends out shop work, or work outside. The five hands must work on the premises.


John Dowsley Reid: How are we going to tell how many manufacturers there are in the Dominion if you class as a manufacturer, a tailor or a blacksmith who has four or five employees? I should think that manufactories were establishments that turned out articles for consumers as compared with retail establishments?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The restriction with reference to the five employees is the restriction in use in the United States. My understanding is that any employer engaged in the producing industry who has five employes on his premises is classed as a manufacturer.


John Dowsley Reid: That would include a blacksmith?


Samuel Hughes: Why shouldn't it?


William Cameron Edwards: Inasmuch as farming is a producing industry I suppose that a farmer who employs four or five hands would be a manufacturer?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.


John Dowsley Reid: Why should he not as well as the blacksmith?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Because the farmer is in a class by himself.


Richard Blain: What will the taking of the
census cost?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have not yet undertaken to make an estimate.


Samuel Hughes: There are living and working in the United States a number of former inhabitants of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec, and I wish to know from the minister if they would be counted in the next census? Last election a number of these gentlemen were brought in special trains and chartered steamboats from New England centres back to their homes in Canada for the purpose of voting. I understand that under the franchise law in .some of these provinces they could come back and vote although they had been living and earning money in a foreign country. Are people o'f this class going to be included in the next census enumeration?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The man who returns only to vote would not be counted in the census enumeration.


Samuel Hughes: I understand they are.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not in the last census.


Samuel Hughes: If the minister examines the schedules for any parish he will find name after name of those who had been living in the United States and who were stni classified as members of the family in Canada.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If that were done it is contrary to the instructions given to the enumerators.


John Dowsley Reid: Last census the enumerators- were paid so much per name, and it was to their interest to put the whole family in whether certain members of it lived in the United States or not.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That would be contrary to instructions.


John Dowsley Reid: From the experiefice we have had of the appointees of the Minister of Agriculture we know they are not reliable.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Oh, not at all.


David Henderson: If a farmer is not to be classed as a manufacturer, would the minister say that a man who produces lime is a manufacturer?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have not got the details of the census enumeration to-night and the item may stand until I get that information.


Samuel Hughes: I know a man in a small town who employs quite a number of hands, and who does a business of $32,000 a year, why should he not be classed as a manufacturer?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: He would be under the regulations.


Edward Guss Porter: Does the enumerator take an oath before entering on his office Mr. FISHER.
that he shall discharge his duties faithfully?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Certainly.


John Waterhouse Daniel: Are the census enumerators allowed to enumerate persons who are not at the time in Canada?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: 
Oswald Smith Crocket: Does the head of the family sign a statement?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.


Oswald Smith Crocket: The enumerator makes his return on the viva voce statement of the head of a family?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Is the census to be taken by the same method as the last census? Has the minister considered the way in which the census is taken in other countries, whereby post office officials and I believe policemen in cities have been got to assist, thus reducing the cost?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The system in Canada has always been that of direct enumeration, not estimate. The only people employed are the enumerators, whose duty it is to go to every individual in the respective areas, though they get information to assist them in their work from such officers as 'my hon. friend mentions.


Richard Blain: The minister will remember that the census of 1901 cost the people of Canada double what the two preceding censuses cost. I hope that in getting ready to take another census, he will keep economy in view.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


Richard Blain: May I ask my hon. friend if he is receiving applications yet for enumerators?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Oh, yes, lots of them.


Richard Blain: I would assume that, because I see that in some parts of Canada they are commencing to redistribute the seats.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have not heard of that.


Richard Blain: From whom are the applications coming?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I cannot tell-from anybody and everywhere.


Richard Blain: On whose recommendation-


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have not asked for any recommendations. I have not yet reached the stage to make any appointment.


Richard Blain: I am assuming that my hon. friend has a policy. May I ask him on

whose recommendation these enumerators will be appointed?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Some reputable person who *can speak tor them.


Richard Blain: The last time I understood that it was the general patronage list, and I assume that there will be no change in that respect.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We have not got a patronage list.


John Dowsley Reid: Take my own county- there is no patronage list there.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friend has one, I suppose.


John Dowsley Reid: Will the minister receive recommendations from me?
Mr. FISHER'. Oh, yes.


John Dowsley Reid: Will he carry them out?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I cannot say that.


John Dowsley Reid: As I represent the majority of the people in my constituency, I think my recommendation should be taken before that of anybody who does not represent the people.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is a very good reason.


John Dowsley Reid: Will the hon. minister agree to accept the recommendation of every member of this House?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I could not make any promise; it would not do.
Printing and distributing reports and bulletins of farms, $10,000.


John Dowsley Reid: I have never seen anything about the chicken industry in this report.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If my hon. friend will read the report, he will find it all there.


David Henderson: May I ask the minister how he obtains the list of those to whom these bulletins are sent? Has he an up-to-date list?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Anybody who applies is put on the list. The names of people who have moved away, people who are dead, or people who do not care to take out their bulletins after a time, are removed from the list. I am trying now to devise a system for a regular revision of the list. There is an alphabetical list at the farms, the dairy branch, the live stock branch and the seed branch. This is a special list of men who want bulletins or information on any particular subject. The regular list comprises between 70,000 and 80,000 names.


George Taylor: If the names of all members of farmers' institutes throughout the country are sent in, will they each receive a bulletin?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, the name sent in of anybody.


John Dowsley Reid: Is the minister willing to send these bulletins to any farmer who requires Them?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


John Dowsley Reid: Then if I send in my voters' list, will they be sent to all the farmers of my county?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If any farmer makes application, or if my hon. friend makes an application on behalf of any farmer, the bulletins will be sent to him. I would ask my hon. friends not to load up the list with the names of people who would not take an interest in the literature and would not read it. Occasionally I have had bundles of these things sent back from the post offices because names have been put on the lists of people who did not take an interest in them and they would have been wasted if the postmasters had not taken the trouble to send them back to us. I propose to make an arrangement by which we can keep in constant touch with the postmasters all over the country. I will ask the postmasters to let us know if the things being sent out are not being taken out of the offices. I think it would be unfortunate and very extravagant to send literature of this very valuable character to people who would not take it out of the post offices and read it. To anybody who wants to have it sent, and who is prepared to read it we are very glad to send a supply.


And Mr.  J. J.@: D! REID. There might be a farmer with two or three sons. I am sure the farmers would be very interested if they could get the literature. If I sent the hon. minister a list of the farmers in my constituency, who I know would take an interest iu theie bulletins would he send them?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Certainly. If the hon. member will send a list with the names of people who he is satisfied will read them.


Samuel Hughes: With regard to those papers being returned, I might say that there is a postal law that a paper taken out of the office must be paid for.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: These things go free.


Samuel Hughes: Yes, but that is not the point. A great many of the farmers have been caught in that way, and I think that is the reason why they are chary about taking those papers out. In many cases they do not know that the papers are sent by the department free, and when they find them sent regularly, they think they will be stuck for the price later on.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would' like hon. m?m-bers to notify me of the names of people

to whom they would like the literature to be sent, and who they think will read it when they get it.


David Henderson: I remember some five or six years ago, I saw the list. I think it was referred to me for correction. I made up my mind at that time that I would make a selection. There were so many names of dead men and removals on the list. I think a list required for men in a rural district should be revised once a year.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is quite true.


David Henderson: There is another point, and I will tell the hon. minister my own practice. Some system should be devised so that the literature could be sent to particular sections where the bulletins would 'be of special interest. Now, the front part of my county is entirely an orchard where apples and small fruits are grown, and I would not think of sending to my constituents in that part bulletins of evidence taken before the Agriculture Committee relating to some other subject, say tobacco. I select my bulletins and evidence very carefully. The other day the minister was good enough to send me a lot of bulletins with reference to apple packing, and I shall see that these go into the districts where they will be useful, and then I shall send the evidence of Dr. Saunders and Charles Saunders, and other men who spoke before the committee to other sections of the county where the people are interested in matters of other kinds. Now could not the minister not devise some plan by which he could exercise economy in the distribution of these bulletins? I do not know that it could be done better than by having reference to the member for the county who is familiar with the character of the district and with the occupations. I question whether there is another county that have received such large heaps of literature as my county this year. I go to a city member who, I know does not want those bulletins, and ask him to let me have them; members like the hon. Mr. Foster, and Mr. Bristol have kindly allowed me to take their bulletins, and distribute them.


Mr. JAMESON.: I could give you a few.


David Henderson: I would be very happy to have a few more for my county.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would say to my hon. friend that we have special lists. We have a list of fruit growers to whom fruit bulletins are sent; a list of sheep men to whom bulletins in sheep culture are sent; a special list of seed growers to whom bulletins on seed growing and that sort of thing are sent. If everybody exercised the care shown by hon. friend (Mr. Henderson) we would get along very well. I would Mr. FISHER.
bespeak hon. gentlemen's assistance in that direction.


Richard Blain: I wish to say that I think the department is very careful on this point and very helpful. I do not often commend my hon. friend in this department, but I have had occasion to send in a great many names during the years I have been in the House, and the department have given them very careful attention. The farmers of my county appreciate the promptness, and thoroughness of the department in that respect very much, and I want to compliment the government and the minister. In my opinion these bulletins are of great value, and to the department is due a great deal of credit for the splendid work it is doing along this line.
Fumigation stations, $5,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: This is the same vote for carrying on that work.
For renewing and improving Canadian Exhibit and Implement Institute, London, and assisting in the maintenance thereof, $8,000.


George Taylor: That is the annual
vote?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is the usual vote.
To encourage the production and sale of Canadian tobacco, $5,000.


George Taylor: The same vote as last year?


David Henderson: 
John Waterhouse Daniel: Can the minister give us any information as to whether there has been any improvement in the flavour of the tobacco, of Canadian grown tobacco? Has there been any improvement in the way of removing the bad odour that obtains in Canadian tobacco. Does it find more favour with the manufacturers and users?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Certainly, the manufacturers use it very much more. During the last year or so, there has been a ready sale of all the tobacco produced in Canada.


John Waterhouse Daniel: It appears to me to make a milder tobacco, one that does not burn the tongue to the same extent as these other tobaccos, and so far as my experience goes, I must say it is rather favourable.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think that is the general experience.


John Waterhouse Daniel: I thought I would like to know whether that was the general ex-

perience, and whether Canadian tobacco was being received more favourably by the people, and whether it was being cured better.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think so.


John Waterhouse Daniel: And is the area of growth extending?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Not so rapidly as the quality is improving. There is an increase of the culture in some localities. The growth of tobacco in Canada is mostly confined to the counties of Montcalm and Rouville in Quebec, with adjacent neighbourhoods, and the county of Essex in the province of Ontario and part of British Columbia. The crop is a variable one- sometimes larger and sometimes smaller. I could not give my hon. friend (Mr. Daniel) the statistics. But the people have taken much more interest in it and much more care in the management and cure of it, and they get more money for their crop.
D. A. LAFORTUNE. (Translation). Mr. Chairman, in connection with this vote 56 and the encouragement to be given to the growth of the Canadian tobacco, I wish to point out to the hon. members that there is in my constituency an association called the Association de plantation de tabac,' which comprises the counties of Berthier, Joliette, L'Assomption and Montcalm.
The growth of tobacco has received more care^and precaution for some years. Its quality has been considerably improved, and the manufacturers have accordingly bought the whole crop in the county "of Montcalm at a very good price.
The manufacturers who were not in the habit of using Canadian tobacco use it now to a very great extent and the farmers are mucli benefited by it.
I want, Mr. Minister, to draw your attention to a fact which interests greatly those four counties. I wish the Department of Agriculture should vote something to encourage this association of planters. There is every year an exhibition for these four counties, and the farmers take an interest in it in bringing them some exhibits of tobacco. Prizes are given in order to encourage them and to induce to better the quality of their produces. If the department should give something to those four counties to encourage them to make further progress and greater sacrifices, it would certainly have the effect of improving the quality of the tobacco, and it would be only justice for them.
[DOT] w'sh to point out to the minister that instead of knocking at his doors, instead of asking him to aid them every year, as is done by the counties, it might 'be better for him to put a small vote in the estimates which would be a great benefit to those four
counties, it might result in great improvement.
There are some counties that are now exclusively engaged in the production of tobacco, such as the counties of Rouville/ and JNapierville which compete with the northern counties. That competition is good, and there is good work done; and our farmers need their share in the protection of the department, if they are to engage in that work more seriously and more carefully. If the minister could do something in those lines, great credit would be due to him.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: With the permission of my hon. friend (Mr. Lafortune), I will answer in English, as being more convenient. I appreciate the importance of the reasons which have led him to request that' the government should give assistance to the planters in his neighbourhood in the way of a bonus or subvention. But that is a suggestion that is fraught with great difficulty. The matter of assistance to agricultural associations and societies has always been left to the provincial government. If the Dominion government were to begin assisting such associations, we should be fairly open to requests from all over the Dominion, and I am afraid that the sum total would be very great, although the assistance to any one association would be trifling. Under these circumstances. it is difficult to accede to such a request. But my hon. friend knows that already the government, through the Department of Agriculture, has done a great deal to encourage the growing of tobacco by helping to improve the maturing and curing of it, with the result, as the hon member himself has .said, of great improvements within the last few years. ,


Richard Blain: The minister voted in favour of a Bill to prohibit the manufacture, importation and sale of cigarettes How does he reconcile it with his conscience to vote for legislation of this kind- to promote the growth of tobacco in Canada?
. ^r* FISHER. While I object to smok-mg chewing, or anything of that kind, while I do not do any of those things myself, and think it would be much better if nobody else did, still, if tobacco is to be used, I think the better the (tobaocto that is used the better.


Clarence Jameson: What is the government doing under this vote for encouraging the production and sale of Canadian tobacco?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We are carrying on experiments in the different varieties of tobacco which seem to be suitable to the soil and climate of Canada. We are experimenting also in the curing of tobacco

to see how it can best^be handled and managed to bring it to the needs of the market. We have an expert who came out from France, who had been engaged for many years in the department of tobacco in the French government. This gentleman has made a great success of his work in Canada, and is still carrying it on with vigour.


Clarence Jameson: I do not use Canadian tobacco myself, but I understand that, it is milder than others. But it is open to the objection that it smells a 'mile a minute.
If that could be overcome, the demand could be greatly increased.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is being overcome very rapidly.
For experiment in cold storage for fruit, $7,000.


John Albert Sexsmith: What success had the minister with this work last year?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We are not able to carry out one part of the work we had intended, that was to run a cold storage _ building in the western part of Ontario. We had hoped to be able to do so, and to deal with it in that way. We- were, however, able to get fruit and keep it under different conditions and circumstances so as to test the best ways cL doing it and to dispose of the fruit at different periods of the year, and see what condition it was in and how it met the needs of the market, and what the . cost would be at different periods.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Where were the experiments carried on?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: A considerable number of boxes were put into cold storage at London in the Cold Storage Company's warehouse there, some in Montreal, some in St. John, New Brunswick, and some in a frost proof but not cold storage building at Ottawa to compare the results when kept in good cold but not refrigerator storage.


John Albert Sexsmith: The government did not undertake to build any cold storage?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No, we paid the usual rates for storage to these companies, just as any one else would.


John Albert Sexsmith: In some localities where they have the co-operative societies to ship fruit, the government might furnish cold storage.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The original intention was to join with one of these associations in western Ontario and engage a cold storage they were proposing to put up for that purpose, but they did not succeed in putting it up and we had to take the other method.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: 


John Albert Sexsmith: But the minister had an item sufficient to help them to carry on the industry. It would perhaps be wise on the part of the government to build a cold storage as an experiment in one of these places.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We expect to be aide to carry out the original plan this year.


Edward Guss Porter: The minister mentioned some time ago an application from a cold storage company at Trenton for the amount allowed under the Act. They have a plant there that has already cost them about $26,000, a magnificent plant built of stone and very large. They are now undertaking to put in the cold storage apparatus, whatever is required under the Act. The- capital of the men is pretty largely exhausted, and I would like the minister to say whether there is any possible way by which an advance of a proportion of the amount allowed by the Act could be made to the company to assist them in putting in the cold storage apparatus. They are desirous of doing this at once, but owing to the state of "their finances it will be rather difficult for them to do so, and in that section where there is so much fruit and where cold storage would be of such great advantage, it would appear to me that if some way could be devised to assist that plant it would toe a very good thing to do.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Under the Act it is impossible for us to make an advance. It is possible that the firm mentioned might be able to get an advance from the bank, giving an ordeT on us for the bonus when it was due. We would accept such an order as that.


Edward Guss Porter: That would help them very materially. They called my attention to the matter and wondered if the department could do that.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We would do that.
Grants to Dominion exhibition, $37,500.


William D. Staples: Could the minister inform me what decision the government has come to in reference to the request of the delegation that has twice visited the Prime Minister in connection with the exhibition it is proposed to hold in Winnipeg in 1912. The question is a big question, possibly too big for the Minister of Agriculture. I have been accusing him of not being courageous enough to take hold of a big question that would work out to the greatest advantage of this Dominion. The minister knows the facts. He will remember that when the delegation first interviewed the Prime Minister he told them that he thought they had not presented their case in the proper form, that they should havd presented it in the form of a memorial, and he suggested that if they did so he would give it his
7.385

sincere and most sympathetic consideration. As I understood from that delegation, he led them to believe that if they could show that it would be a financial success there was no doubt in his mind that the government would meet the demands to carry it to a successful issue. Later on they presented it in the form suggested. They also sent delegates to all places where such exhibitions had been held, and they presented the facts showing beyond a doubt that it would be no experiment and no great adventure on the part of this government to carry out the proposition set before them. They laid before the Prime Minister and his colleagues the whole proposition. I would like to know whether or not the government have any intention to accede to the demands of the delegation. There is no question about the financial success, and no doubt that the exhibition would be the greatest possible advertisement for Canada, not only from the agricultural point of view, but also from a commercial or manufacturing standpoint, and I would ask if the Prime Minister and the minister have intimated to their colleagues what they purpose doing or whether they are satisfied to have allowed this organization in Winnipeg, composed of the most reputable men, men of the greatest financial strength in our city, men whose statements as to their opinions as to the success of the undertaking can be accepted without a doubt. I hope the Minister of Agriculture, whose duty I believe it is more than any other minister of the government to try and advance such an exhibition, will not sit back quietly for four or five years before he wakes up to the necessity of having such an exhibition in Canada. Other countries have undertaken it and made a success of it. There is no doubt that with the experience of other countries and with the men who are behind this undertaking, it can be made a thorough success. If 500,000 people visited that exhibition and only spent $50 each, which, in my opinion, is not one-third of what they would spend on the average, it would mean that it would put in circulation over $25,000,000. This is question that the minister, if he is as big a man as he tried to make us believe in his three hours' speech the other day, should take hold of it. I hope the minister will tell us what he purposes doing.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I did not happen to be present when the Prime Minister met the last delegation. I was present when he met the former one some time ago. This is a project with which I have the greatest sympathy personally. I think it is one that may be fraught with greatest advantage to Canada. I understood that it was postponed until 1913 from 1912, but that is not a matter of very great consequence.
234a


William D. Staples: I think it is the intention of the organization to let the matter stand until such time as this government will try and accede to the demands that were made of the government in a definite way.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Of course, it is not for me to say or advise, but if the exhibition is to be what these gentlemen want to have it, and what I sincerely would want to have, I do not believe it can be got ready for 1912. An exhibition of that character requires very great organization and preparation, and I think it would be necessary probably to postpone it until 1913 to accomplish that which everybody in Canada would like to have. I have personally very great sympathy with the project. I think the ideas behind it are somewhat large and that the western people would have to bear a larger share of the expenditure themselves than they now talk of, but my sympathy vjould be very great with a proposition to give them very substantial assistance from the Dominion government, and I think that would meet with the concurrence of people all over Canada, without respect to the city in which this exhibition is going to be held. We have a country and a western development that I think we might be proud to show to the world and to invite everybody in the world to come and see, and that will be increasingly the case between now and 1912 or 1913. I have no doubt that when it is organized and arranged Canada would present such a magnificent display as would charm, enchant and attract everybody that came to see it, and that instead of a modest estimate of 500,000 people there would be over a million people who would come to see it. I would be very much disappointed if there were not. I cannot speak for the government, they not having come to any conclusion or decision. It is a matter that is under consideration. I have heard the Prime Minister speak of it once or twice, but I cannot give any information with regard to it. I am quite sure that for its proper preparation it would have to be postponed until 1913, and that if the people of the west would take hold of it I think it would be wise for the Dominion parliament to vote a very handsome subscription to it.


William D. Staples: I suppose the minister is aware of the fact that the persons who have undertaken the organization of this exhibition have already expended of their own money about $25,000. It seems to be a hardship on the people who have been so enterprising as to spend that amount of money that they should be stood off indefinitely with such remarks as those which the minister has just made. He r-4



is very hopeful that this grant would be made, but I believe that if he would go after the Prime Minister and his colleagues he could work it up in a great deal shorter time and more effectively than what he
thinks.				
Mr. FISHER, know.	I am too	slow,	youMr. STAPLES, is too slow.	The	*minister	[DOT]says	he


Sydney Arthur Fisher: 1 friend thinks.	That	is what	my	hon.


William D. Staples: I am led to think so on a question of this kind. If he would show a little determination on these lines he would raise himself in my admiration as Minister of Agriculture. We were told from the other side of the House that he is the most courageous minister in the government. I suggest that the minister show a little of his courage in reference to this undertaking.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: Could the minister give us the number that attended the Seattle exhibition last year?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think over a million.


David Arthur Lafortune: (Translation.) Mr. Speaker, in connection with item 60 of the estimates, I would like to know how it is proposed to distribute that amount of $50,000? For over twenty years past, no exhibition has been held in Montreal, to the great detriment of manufacturers, business men, the farming community and trade generally.
This year the Quebec legislature has guaranteed the payment of the interest on $600,000, as a grant towards the great fair which is to be held In Montreal shortly. Besides, the Quebec legislature has subscribed $10,000 yearly towards the same object. The city of Montreal has voted a grant of $10,000 per year as an encouragement. I would like to know whether that company has applied to the Dominion parliament for a grant on behalf of the fair.
As one of those interested, intending as I do to be an exhibitor, I am desirous of getting that information. It is most unfortunate that the metropolis of Canada should have failed for the last twenty years having an exhibition for the benefit of the farmers and manufacturers of Canada. It is unfortunate that Montreal should be without its fair, while such fairs are being held in Ontario and the other provinces or parts of the province, such as Three Rivers, Sherbrooke and Guelph, Montreal in the meantime being left in the cold. For almost twenty years past the manufacturing, commercial and farming classes, have complained bitterly that Mr. STAPLES.
Montreal has thus been left in the background. It has just been decided that something must be done.
We are without an experimental farm in the province of Quebec; we have only small stations, while in Ontario and the other provinces such farms have been established. At the opening of this session I heard the minister make an important statement to the effect that he proposed establishing illustration stations throughout the Dominion. Well, I trust he will not forget the finest section of the province of Quebec, and that he will start an illustration station in the district of Montreal.
Farmers of that district, who have to undergo expenses to visit the Ottawa experimental farm, start in the morning and reach here about half past eleven; they return in the afternoon after rapidly going over the farm without seeing all there is to see. They do not get from such a trip as much benefit as might be expected. Should the hon. minister carry out his plan and establish such stations or sub-experimental farms within the reach of the farmers, specially of those residing in the district of Montreal, great benefits would be reaped in that way. I hope the hon. minister will not forget carrying out the promise he made at the opening of this session; I hope also that parliament will find its way clear to assist toward the holding of that Montreal fair, which is so eagerly desired and so greatly needed.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: (Translation.) In answer to the hon. member for Montcalm, I may call his attention to the fact that this vote for the expositions has been given in turn to all the provinces, and that the province of Quebec has benefited by it in its turn, at the time of the Sherbrooke exhibition, four or five years ago. This year, the vote will go to the exhibition of St. John, New Brunswick, and next year, it will be given to Regina, in the province of Saskatchewan. That will complete the round of general exhibitions for all the provinces of the Dominion.
The government have not yet made up their minds as to whether these fairs should have a second time the benefit of this grant. But the province of Quebec has not been neglected and has had its turn as well as the others. Should we decide on a second series, I am satisfied that the Montreal fair will be one of the first to be considered.
As regards experimental farms, I may give the hon. member fhe assurance that, at the next session of parliament, I hope to be in a position to ask* parliament to vote the amount required towards the establishment of an experimental farm in the province of Quebec.


John Waterhouse Daniel: One of the best methods of combatting tobacco is the taking of

measures to educate the people in preventative means, and with that object in view, I would suggest to the Minister of Agriculture that the Dominion government should institute a tobacco exhibit at each of the Dominion exhibitions. The minister has officers in his department quite competent to inaugurate such an exhibit, and I have no doubt the central tobacco association would aid.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The suggestion has been made that we should have a fishery exhibit, an agriculture exhibit, a railway exhibit and so on at these exhibitions, but the government has never undertaken to do so. The exhibition association would much prefer that we should give them a lump sum of $50,000 and let them carry on their work.


John Waterhouse Daniel: Railway exhibits and fishery exhibits are important, but nothing can possibly compare with the conservation of the public health.
Exhibitions, $100,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The exhibition was at Seattle last year and this year it is at Brussels. It will open on the 23rd of this month.


William Cameron Edwards: What was the total cost to the government of the exhibition at Seattle?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: About $100,000.


William Cameron Edwards: Who had charge of the exhibition there?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Mr. Wm. Hutchison, permanent exhibition commissioner.


William Cameron Edwards: I had the pleasure of seeing the Canadian exhibit at Seattle last summer, and I wish to congratulate the department on the excellence of that exhibition.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I appreciate that very much.
To encourage the production and use of superior seeds of farm crops and for the enforcement of the Seed Control Act, $50,000.


John Albert Sexsmith: So long as you allow noxious seeds to be scattered broadcast through the Dominion by means of the screenings which are sold for foodstuffs there is very little use in your spending money to combat the spread of weeds. These screenings from the western provinces are sent to Fort William, and are then shipped to the eastern provinces. When I mentioned this matter a short time ago the minister said it was a provincial affair, but I certainly think it is a matter which the Dominion Department of Agriculture should attend to. Many of the most dangerous weed seeds come in these screenings. It is poor policy to expend
$50,0)10 to try and get pure seed when we allow these foul seeds to be distributed in that way at a loss of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars to our farmers in the course of a year. Last year in the province of Ontario it was estimated that there was a shortage of $l,uo0,000 in the crop because of the sow thistle alone. If these people are determined to put these screenings on the market they should be compelled to try and get rid of the impure seeds in some way.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I sympathize very much with the views expressed by the hon. member. The information in the department shows that many weed seeds are contained in feedstuffs. I do not know what remedy can be applied, but I can assure my hon. friend (Mr. Sexsmith) that the department will investigate the matter with a view to seeing what can be done.


John Albert Sexsmith: I am glad the minister has promised to look into the matter, but I would remind him that six months' delay means a great loss to the farmers.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We do not think we can deal with it under the law as it stands to-day.


John Albert Sexsmith: Then an amendment should have been introduced in the Bill passed this session, giving the government authority to take preventative measures. I would not advocate the destruction of these feedstuffs if any other means can be found to purify them, but I think that if they^ were kiln dried the germinating quality of these seeds would be destroyed. Our expenditure to procure pure seeds will be nullified if we do not put a stop to this, practice.


William Cameron Edwards: Last year notice was given that if applications were made to the department for seeds up to a certain date in February, the seeds would be supplied.
I informed a number of people in my county, and they sent me their applications Most of those applications were honoured, and a great deal of satisfaction was given to the people by the seed they obtained. I would like to know if similar applications will be honoured if sent in each year. Some of the farmers who sent in applications this year have informed me that they have not received any seed.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We send the seed for the year in which the application comes, but do not repeat it, and we make it a condition of sending the seed that the recipient report to us at the end of the season the result of his sowing the seed. We do that as a precaution against the seed being neglected or not used. One of the advantages which the country derives from the distribution of seed is that the small quantity of seed with which the farmer is sup-

plied mutiplies year after year. ^ Another advantage is that we get a great deal cf information as to the adaptability of the seed to different localities, which is useful to our experts. If we send a sample to a farmer, we expect him in return to' send us a report.


William Cameron Edwards: Do you send a form with the seed?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, always, and when a farmer neglects to send that report we are a little chary about sending him another sample. I do not say we do not send him one, but we reprimand him, and perhaps say that if he does not make a report on the second sample we will not send him another. We do not allow lists of farmers to be-sent in for these purpose. We found when that was done that much seed was wasted. We have to get the personal application of the farmer as a guarantee of good faith.


William Cameron Edwards: Probably the department, in sending out the seed this year has not taken into account the fact that this season is exceptionally early, which perhaps accounts for the farmers calling attention to the fact that they have not received the seed.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We send out the samples as rapidly as we can.


George Taylor: It is now eleven o'clock, and might I suggest that we run through the four items in quarantaine, -and allow the balance of the items to stand.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Very well.
Traeadie and d'Arcv Island lazarettos and leprosy generally, $11,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The increase of $1,000 is in consequence of an increased allotment to the nuns who take charge of the cases at Traeadie.


William Cameron Edwards: Is this disease increasing or decreasing?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: It is not increasing. The number at the lazaretto at Traeadie remains practically stationary at from 20 to 25. Most of the cases are from the neighbouring parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. For some reason, which I cannot understand, the disease has never died out, but it does not seem to increase. When a case is discovered we take steps to remove it at once to the lazaretto, and the people in the neighbourhood are always willing to report a new case. The disease in the early stages is not contagious, so that we get the cases before it is allowed to spread. There have been one or two cases from the foreign element in Manitoba, and occasionally a Chinese has been sent from British Columbia. The Chinese are always anxious to go home, and we have an arrangement Mr. FISHER,
with the steamship company for deporting them.
Public Works Health Act, $8,000 Mr. GEO. TAYLOR. That is the annual vote?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The same vote.
Steamer to replace the ' Argus ' and ' Challenger/ $10,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We have to get some new steamers in place of these. They are completely worn out.


George Taylor: The same amount was voted last year?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, and this ought to finish it, I think.


William Cameron Edwards: Has item No 53 been finally passed yet?


George Taylor: No, that stands.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Should we not take item No. 52?


John Albert Sexsmith: 52 is a most important item.


George Taylor: There are three or four items on which we may have some little discussion.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would like to take item 53. It is really part of the experimental farm vote.


George Taylor: We discussed that pretty fully, I think.
Experimental farms-towards establishment and maintenance of additional branch stations, $55,000.


John Albert Sexsmith: Can the minister, tell us where he intends to establish these?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No, I cannot. "


David Henderson: We must take it by faith.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think I must compliment the House on a very good day's work, and I now beg to move that the committee rise and report progress.
Some resolutions reported.
Mr. FISHER moved the adjournment of the House.


George Taylor: Might I ask the hon. minister what business will be taken up to-morrow?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The Naval Bill, I think, is to be taken up by mutual arrangement.


George Taylor: And if that is got through with?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We will go on with my estimates, I think.
