know what qualifications were demanded and
if the gentleman, who had got the poslllou,
hnd these qualifications.
Hi. Excellency the actg. VIcc-GovernOr
(Buua1tu) answered, that he was not able
to 20 into details. He considered that he
had the very best advice respecting the
qualifications Of The applicants when CON
sulting our d rector Of Agriculture or the
matter.
4th Member for Christiansted Country
District (Schnne9elo7o) Was sorry that he
differed from HIS Eyoellency. He was Of
the opinion. that when we had u Director
who is a Theoretical and not I practical m@u,
then Government should cIl the Planters to
decide Among the npplic mt.
5h Grown Member III q. LeeoO consid-
cred it wrong to- take the Agi |iculturnl UI-
T .cto' to decide this question. What
had The Experiment Station done? Whtt
Will "Annn's Hope" give? Pigeon Pea?
IF an experienced man took ov + "Ahua'3
Hope" it would 9rvtn COOL CT 'p......
The Chairman (&5Aem4Hu) would ruI the
attention - the Itules of Blu ,iness 7 and

ing out for portrf4, the vIilnge was IN n poJr

after these things. Anrts Hope is ir nm

14t Member for FreleriksteH Town (GotH-
terry would shy tnat he c ,uEd rot agree with
the views expressed by the last Hon: speak,
4r CONCERNING The Wotk Of the AgriculturaA
Experiment Station. There were mluy
painters, he hnow, who held silnilur views
and he Thought they were unreasonable VIEWS
because it takes years before ar Agricullu rWl
Experiment Station can show results. He
dd not consider it right to attack the BY
rector Of the Station. 70 the con rary5 he
should have the support aud confidence OF
the planters, and the community, III the hurd
and uphill work he hnd taken in hnnd, be-
cause Ire believed hum to be u G tptble and
Woodworking iran, mud et9er 10 10 all he
could for tire Improvement Of agricultural
Conditions III the ISInrd.
Ife endorsed the remarks of tire Hon: 9Th
Member for G4ristinnsttd Country District
CSchmiegelow) about ''quAiifcaiion," for the
position. La his opinion a Board should be
established to decide the qualifications de-
mandoa, and to look after whether the np-
pIlCdtlOIH INV bhC NGIluuNNGtt u ttlluCihl IOlN'
1t should hot be, rs now, that The director
nlune be left to decide upon the successful
applicant, especially when no qra,Hivat ons,
ur demand. This was not right pnd fair
TO al PARTIES. Principles and practices that
Obtained ia all other civilized countries were
turned upside down in :his Island, it SCENE
this is apparently the Islnrrl of '"Hop,y-
tu voydom"-0ue hears and reads of Gamer
Hu for the American -, 'Porto Rico for the
Porto Ricaus", "huyti for The Haytian7' anN
as far back rs he could remember, he had
always hearQ that there was no Colony iu
the West Indies lhat pratected its sons more
than Barbadosy "Barbndos for Ire Barbnli-
ATS" is almost u household word in the Colo-
ny-but only i'll 81. Ctoix we do rot hear
the cry OF est. Croix for the Cruciun," it
rather seems to be, ''St. Croix for the-B7w-
bndINus" and the natives are forgotten.
Gone of the audience-"Hea' hear" 10
which the Chairman (Stuhe2HdAn) again called
the attention of the audience to tire Rules
OF Business concerning manifestations,
and IT repeated other measures would now
