Granville Farmers Also.

We would suggest to the members o
the Legislature, now that they have
abandoned the road que stion leaving us
in. the mire, have turned loose the dogs
again to destroy the sheep and only
straddle the fence, that there is another
great Il riling class which have one spe-
cial interest, and that is the Agricultural
Department. We believe that this is a
SUBJ let that would be Well worth the
attention of the Legislature to investi-
gate. 1t may be that it as been made
to do all that is possible to be done
that 1t has been successful in looking
after the States interests in all its pro-
vinces. We have the utmost respect
and. confidence in the capacity of the
gentleman who is at its head. And
this fact alone has debarred us from cri-
ticising in any way the work of the De-
partmeat until the light of vestigation
could be. thrown upon it. There is un-
,questionably lack of confidence
amongst the masses as to the good it is
accomplishing for the State. A debate
in the Legislature bringing out all the
facts in connection with its history and
WORK would not only satisfy the desire
of the farmers for knowledge on the SUBJ
jectsbut would result In arouslng an in
tereIs and sympathy from the people
that the department. does not now en-
Joy. We have never believed that its
foundations rested upon solid bottom.
1t was built upon nothing more than an
injustice to the farmer. 1t is only those
who buy fertilizers that are taxed to
support it. We believe that the agri-
cultural department., like any other
Stats institution, should be supported
out Of the States treasury and not by
SPECIAL taxation. Every one knows
that the companies who sell fertilizers
in our State simply put an extra dollar
or so on the ton to pay the tax. and of
course this comes at last out of the far
mer. If the department is doing the
State service, as it is claimed, why then
let the whole TeOplc Of the State help
to support it, just as they do the schools,
the asylum and other State Institutions.
The. farmer class have been led to be-
lieve that they are receiving special
benefits from it. This may, or may not
be SO. We think it smacks too strongly
of class legislation and is most too
dear for the whistler A State chemist
is very proper officer, but his salary
should come cut of the State Treasury.
We have been told that the tax on fer
tilizers, from which the department is
run, has served to run out all the spurl-
Gus companies from the State. In a
measure this may be so. But we think
the department has been equally etl-
cient in keeping out good men who
would not ruu the risk of paying the
$500 tax ON each of their brands and
thus it has tended to ere ate monopoly
in behalf of those who established
themselves in the State in the begin-
ming.
But we hope the legislature will heed
our suggestion and give us light upon
the Agricultural Department.-Orford
