Thomas L. Kennsdy and the ac-- tivities he proposes for his Dopartment of Agriculture in the noext twelve months just about stole all the thunder in the Spsech from the Throns at yesterday's Legislature opening. First, there was forecast of legislation implementing many of the recommenda-- tions, including the creating of a Pro-- vincial Marketing Board, which appear in the Somerset inquiry report. Second-- ly, there was notice of plans for th»e improvement of herds in regard to milk production--a most advanced _ idea which Colonel Kennedy has up his sleeve of being able at any time to know how much milk any cow in the Province, at any time, is giving. Thirdly, there was the suggestion of early --in-- troduction of remedies to protect live stock against the ravages of parasites--a combat campaign that was enthusiastically advocated by the Legislature Committee of the House dur-- ing the 1930 session. And, lastly, there was the intimation that the Minister is sponsoring this summer an exhaustive inspection of Ontario's agricultural pur-- suits--from ons side of the Province to the other, south and north--by all th»e institutional heads that come within his jurisdiction. Details of the planned inspection were not forthcoming from Colonel Kennedy last night, but it is reported that departmental heads, as well as heads of agricultural schools and ex-- perimental farms, will take part in the inspection. Dr. G. I. Christie, President of the Ontario Agricultural College, will, it is said, play second--in--command to Colonel Kennedy in the venture. Special attention will be paid to the farming possibilities in Northern On-- tario, and some scheme will likely be devised to put to good use the innum-- erable hundred homestcads that have been standing idle for several years in good farm country of the North. The Kapuskasing country, and properties once soldier--settled but now abandoned, will also be subjected to a thorough going--over. The Speech from the Thronc, of yesterday, struck its usual eulogistic note on Government record, past, pres-- ent and proposed. Legislation which it forecast for the session--and -- which had previously been forecast, practi-- cally without exception, by the pross-- will confirm municipal expenditures to relieve -- unemployment; amend the Judicature Act concerning the consti-- tution of the Supreme Court of On-- tario; provide compensation to blind persons engaged in industrial occupa-- tions; revise and consolidate the laws concerning hospitals; promote uniform-- ity of 'egislation respecting the assign-- ment of book debts: and formaliy establish the new Department of Public Welfarce.
