N PROMISES ~~ HELPFOR FARMERS Declares. Government Will Give Free Service at "All Times URGES CO-OPERATION Minister Addresses Butter and Cheese and Pro- , duce Association Montreal, June 18~Conditions are far from satisfactory in the agricul- tural industry in this Province Hon, J. L, Perron, Minister of Agriculture, declared at a dinner given him at the Canada Club by the Montreal Butter and Cheese Exporters' Asso- ciation and the Montreal Produce Merchants' Association Tuesdny eve- ning, r, Perron, however, did not blame either .the Government or the farm- er, He Jointed ot that rapid change in conditions following the World War, and said that his department was now ready to give the agricultur- ist assistance in every form, He also said that the map of the Province of Quebec had heen divided into 23 zones for agricultural purposes, so that proper advice as to cultivation and breeding could be given with a maximum certainty of results, The high rate of imports shocked the Ministes, who expressed his de- sire for a change, He also pointed out the necessity of modern and busi- ness-like organization and of the col- Isboration of co-operatives and pro- duce men improving the existing state of affairs, He concluded by stating that the unsuccessful farmer would from now on, have only himself to blame for his failure, Statement On Thursda "May I first be allowed," Mr, Per~ ron said, "to tender to you, my sin- cere thanks for your reception, I thank you, more especially, for the kind and just reference to my prede- cessor's address, Hon Mr, Caron has given 20 years of his life to the cause of agriculture in this Provinee, and whatever position we hold, whatever progress has been made in the mat. ter is entirely due to him, I only hope i be able to perform as well as he "The press has heen telling you for some weeks that I was soon going to make my program clearer, I will not shun my duty, Agriculture, after all, is an industry subject to the general rules of industry, Its basic princi» ples are those of every inc wary, There is no use in trying to startle the public by Jutting truisms in elab- erate form, Whatever I may intend "to do is submitted to the criticism of #ll parties taking interest in agrieuls ture, I do not wish to decide or an~ nounce what the Department intends to do previous to the conclusion of the consultation now taking plage be- tween the minister and the heads of his department, "We have been conducting a thors ough canvass, As I had decided not to divulge the program until every person on the list had been 'consults ed, and as one of the gentlemen con- sulted will not be here till tomorrow, 1 will not, tonight, give you any de- finite outline of what we are going to do, Nevertheless, we can have a talk on the matter and some of its aspects, On Thursday, I will hand the Was In Bed All Summer "I have to work in the store and do my own housework, too, and 1] got nervous and run-down and wasin bed nearly all suramer: The least noise would make me nervous; I was told to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege. table Compound and I have taken || seven bottles; It has made me strong: er and put more color into my face: | | have not improved i press a detailed review of what we ire fd to do and how we are going [1 "I am purely and simply an advo- cate, I am not a pr t man, and I am not a farmer, I realize that it is rather dangerous for me to speak in front of a gathering of experts who will undoubtedly share the view that I have talked as & lawyer, So | intend to weigh carefully each word utter, Conduct Inventory "It is 8 good commercial and busi- ness principle to conduct a yesrly inventory of one's business, to see whether it has been prosperous or not, whether there have been profits or losses, and to sum up the reasons for prosperity or for , depression, When 1 took charge of this depart- ment, 1 thought it necessary to have an inventory made in all its branch. es, The inventory, I know, has been thorough, It will be found by you 10 be as satisfactory as your own, made under the direction of an auditor, I am in possession of this report, I am pleased to say that it is accur- ate and correct, This work has been done by the officers of the depart- ment, and well done, "As I nlready stated in Sherbrooke, agricultural conditions are not differ- ent here from what they are in other provinces or countries, There is world-wide crisis in agriculture, brought about mostly by the rapidly- changing conditions of living, After my inventory 1 believe that Quebec is laboring under less difficult con- ditions than other provinces or other countries, Our wealthy neighbors to the south and most European coun- tries not to speak of other Canadian provinces, are experiencing hardships slightly worse than our own, "The fact remains that conditions have changed all over the world, We live in a motor 'and 'plane era, Our good friends the farmers, whatever their merits, have perhaps not fol. lowed swiftly enough the changing trend of the times, Their methods are perhaps not as modern and effi- cient as they ought to be, This is quite possible, So then it appears to me' that our duty now is to help them reorganize so that they may meet changing conditions, "In order to assure more method and grasp the position at once, we have divided the Province in 23 agri. cultural zones, We have had a chart of these zones prepared, The chart is now ready and it indicates what every zone produces, This map will be Biven to all who ask for it, I really think it will be serviceable, as the idea of zoning itself is bound to be beneficial, But that is not all, Ev. ery farmer is to get from the depart- ment free advice as to what should be the proper cultivation in his zone, or the proper variety of breeding, Our officers will help to the utmost in showing the farmers how to turn agriculture into a paying proposition, Free Advice "Now, I wish to be clearly under- stood, We will not impose an offi cial doctrine, or Government dogmas or department views on farmers, We will not change the laws, We are only offering to give advice, and good advice, We want to show the farm ers how to make money for thems selves and contribute toward the gen~ eral prosperity, If we see that a farm- er is steadily improving either his crops or his cattle, we will follow him, we will help him as often as he wants, Our people will visit his farm as of- ten as he wants, If, on the other hand, we realize that another farmer does not intend to follow our advice and does not care for our visits, we will not waste a second and we will let him paddle his own canoe all by himself, "Our production is far below what it should be, There is need for bet. ter marketing; there is the same need for more active production, Why talk of exporting when we cannot even take care of our own provincial mars ket? Do you know, the proportion of eggs sold and consumed here dur- ing the last two years? Only 14 per cent, We. import more than 80 per cent, of the eggs we consume, This is not pleasant to hear? Un. til we have succeeded in Jodeci at least 50 to 60 per cent, of our eg consumption, we have indeed goo reason to feel sad, Can it be done or not? This we will find out by ex- erience, Let me tell you that if it is humanly possible to reorganize the poultry industry it will be done, I don't "know if it can be done, but if, within two years from now that branch of the industry is not more prosperous, it will not be the minis. ter's fault, "One of the problems that needs to be settled is the eradiction of disease among chickens, I do not think in« dividual farmers can cope with it. So we have arranged with one of our agricultural schools to secure the ser- vices of an expert who will work on it, and I hope that in six months, the disease will have disappeared, Heavy Imports 3 "Do you know what the proportion is between 'the production and con. sumption of butter in the Province? Less than 50 per cent, of the butter we consume is produced in the Pro. vince, Have we reason to complain that farming is not paying? It is but a question of organization, We will organize, We will gladly make all the necessary sacrifices, It may cost what it will, Here also, if conditions two years' time it will not be the minister's fault, "I could talk two hours about our imports and consumption, For in. stance, during the last four years, we have imported 12,000 horses, We don't raise enough horses here to pro- SAXON ECLIPSE FIVE ROSES ROLLED OATS Pastry Flour Poultry Supplies SUGAR CORN FLAKES | HOGG & LYTLE, Limited 54 Church St. We Deliver Phone 203 MARVEL XXX QUAKER CORNMEAL COOKING BRAN w ------------------ veo mp " RADIOTRONS Gomaclis's most Popular Tibess vide for the requirements of our ag- riculture,,,, And sheep; pretty near all the mutton consumed here is im- ported, More than 50 per cent, of the pork we cat comes from clse- where, Butter comes from New Zea land; 75 to B80 per cent, of the seeds we use are imported, On the other hand, we export our best tuberculin. ized milk cows; we sell them to the Americans, and we have to replace them with what? "I know this is not altogether plea sant to your ears, But the first thing to do is to face the problem frank! and courageously, I say that such conditions have to be met at once, I have no blame for the farmer or for the Government, It is, I think, a mat- ter of too rapidly changing conditions, We have not kept pace with the times, We now have to make good and submit to a necessary evolution, It is every citizen's duty to keep up with the times and resist the easy temptation of trying to adapt , the times to one's fancies, "I am going to give a couple of years to the job, The job is worth touching only if every citizen is will A Quantity of Used Brick FOR SALE CHEAP Apply Times Office | nr wy hos IIH a Photograph shows Colonel Char. leg Lindbergh and his bride, form- erly Miss Anne Morrow, daughter of D, W, Morrow, United Ntates ambassador to Mexico, at Mitchell Field, 1.1, where they witnessed the test flights in the Daniel Guts tenheim safe-nirecraft competition, This Is thelr first public appear. ance since thelr marriage on May 27, Col, Lindbergh is a trustee and consultant of the Daniel Guggens heim Fund for the promotion of aAcronaution = Copyright, 1929, Pacific and Atlantic Photos, Inc, ing to co-operate, I must count on the help of everybody, And 1 think our policy will show results, 1 have already received much assistance, ei- ther hy advice or otherwise, Every- one has been very kind to me, Vast knowledge and precious practical ex- perience have been placed at my dis» posal, YELLOW SATIN IS INVOGUE IN PARIS Yellow Satin Worn in Maize tone with Matching Coats in Velvet and Moire seen at Opening of Fash- able Restaurant Paris, June 21 ~The Les Ambassadeurs, the celebrated restaurant in the Champs Elysees, brought out the smartest erowd in Paris, As might be conjectured printed chiffons were much in the minority, leaving for satins and plain chiffons the important representation, Satins literally shone in surfaces of brilliant vegetable qualities, Sensational was the amount of yel- opening of low satin worn in maize tone with some frocks of yellow chiffon and nasturtium hues to add strength to this color range, Matching coats were seen in velvet and in moire, An interesting detail in a vellow satin gown was an even panel that centred the back, leaving the sides bare, and extending to the nape of the neck joining the front, The re- sult, a high neck back and a very exposed shoulder, There were a few but very few fluf- fy frocks, the kind with tiered outs standing skirts, below somewhat fits ted bodices and the striking note in these few was the effect of their bes ing decidedly passe compared with the more sophisticated elusive lines of satin and other clinging fabrics, White was prominent first in satin and next in chiffon, For once black gowns were nil, perhaps temporarily relegated to the background until the autumn, Necks were for the most part round in line, One dress is cyclamen, chif« fon emphasized this decolletage by a "THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1929 over the surface, Some dropped so low as to fall on the haers, Though Parisians sre up their hair, several Loot 8 di low knots held by double pins of quite large size, ENGLISH FLAPPER 15 A SPORTS RL Politics and Society Give Way to Sports for 1929 English Flapper The 1929 English flapper is essen- tially a sports girl, In vain do beauty specialists prophesy flat feet, wrink- les, over-developed muscles and a general lack of feminine charm, All her spare time is spent keeping fit and she has thrown away her eye- brow tweezers and cosmetics in her effort to keep thusiasm for the open air, The most representative specimen of English flapperdom is probably the London girl of the middle classes, who, like her Toronto sister, earns her living in shop and office. Every Saturday at 1 o'clock sees her arm- ed with hockey stick or tennis rack- et, according to the season, journey- ing forth into the suburbs or country, unperturbed by rain or fog 'he sports cage is reflected in the flapper's boy friends, her conversa- tion and even her city clothes, Be- cause the younger men are more ath- letic, she prefers those of her own age, whose enthusiasm for the great god: sport also matches her own, She will talk far into the night about the corruption of the football clubs, the recent golf and tennis tour- naments and prize fights, At her fin- ger tips, too, are all the latest rac- ing news, and she can always be re- lied on to give you a tip "straight from the horse's mouth," The girl who does not devote her- self to specific sport usually belongs to some "out of the country" move- ment and will spend her leisure time with a party of young men and wom- en who, knapsacks on backs, stride the countryside, Week ends they pitch camps or stay at inns which are beginning to cater specially for Eng- land's young roamers, If a girl is lucky enough to posses a boy friend with a motoreyele or car she will be down at the coast by tea time Sat- urday and London will not see them again until late Sunday night, SHORT SKIRTS CAUSE NEAR RIOT Efforts to earry out the orders of the Italian bishop that women whose skirts did not reach well be- low the knee are not to be admit. ted to church, led to a near-riot at Caldogno, Italy, recently, Amgemo Frignatl, a faithful church mem- ber, was deputized by the parish priest to carry out the bishop's or- ace with the new en- | i ttl GAA Al ACCA ll rt dl FOR RENT Furnished Apartments Apply W.
