He went to the United States and England investigating that in- dustry, and came back in 1912 and made his report to parliament. This report has never been acted upon, has never even been seriously considered by parliament. He points out in this report, in the first place, that a coun- try must have sheep, that they are a fundamental eer, We speak of combating noxious weeds by means of of chemical compounds, but it is ab- 'surd to expect anyone to go to a laboratory and mix up a concoction of Some reason for that. { arsenic -and -ealeipm;--and. expeet-by that means to 'get rid of noxious weeds. Sheep is the natural scavenger of the soil, and anyone who has been through our section of the country and chased home a flock of sheep knows that he will never find a dirty farm where a flock of sheep is kept. Twenty-five or thirty sheep will al- ways keep the farm clean; that is a common observations.

I regard this thie extremely ) Sometimes I have been asked how sheep we have in Canada, We matter of fact we have only two mil- n. There is no reason in the world why we should not have at least ten million sheep, d other stock men in my riding--and I claim, that many of the best authorities om sheep and other live stock reside there sheep in Canada as in any country in e world. Proof of is to be found in the fact that when we exhibit our sheep at the great stock shows they are awarded all the prizes. 1 am also advised that the wool is of just as good quality as that grown in Australia and other wool-producing countries. But we pay no attention to this question, although it is funda- mental. We allow mohair to be im- ported free of duty. I am not quar- relling with that, for this reason: We consume $15,000,000 worth of mohair every year. Mohair is the fleece of the little angora goat. I have only seen one of these goats in Canada. I have been endeavouring to get some wealthy men to establish an angora goat farm in order to teach our people that in these little animals there is a source of heat wealth, The farmers of South Africa raise immense flocks of angora goats on their waste land, and reap fortunes from the wool crop, The place from which to get those goats is in the Angora valley of Tur- key, While making investigations as to where the best quality of angora goats are" bred, 1 ascertained that the Turkish government regard the an- gora goat industry of such value to their people that they prohibit the sale and export of any of these an- imals, Between this city and my home in Oshawa is sufficient waste land to ac- commodate all the angora goats need- ed to supply our rer th mohair.

This should be investigated. The very best market in the world for weol is to be found in Canada, and yet we go to no trouble to develop sheep and goat breeding to supply this market, large- ly b of defects in our ideas and in our government particularly. It will take ten years of concerted action to bring about a transformation in this respect. In the first place the government should impose a small tariff on wool, just to establish the principle, and raise it each year for ten years, and so protect the market - of Canada for those of our people who would go into this business. 1 wrote to one hundred of our best sheep raisers in Ontario for their opinion as to the best lines on whic! to develop this industry. I asked them if they thought it would be of service to the country to standardize prices, so that a farmer for the next ten years would know what return he would get for his wool, I believe it would be an excellent policy for the government to take into consideration at this very moment. There are man phases of this question to be attacked, and they should be attacked in an in- telligent way. One of our best known farmers said to me within the last two months, "sheep are the most profit- able things I have on my farm today. They give me at least two crops a vear, one of wool and the other of lambs. I say it is the business of the government to consider what should be done. They should appoint a board _| or commission to deal with this ques- tion in order that our farmers may be encouraged to go into the raising of sheep and goats to provide wool for the Canadian market. I have esti- mated that to raise sufficient sheep to provide our own requirements for wool. would create a living for 72,000 people. Right at our door we have the means of developing this industry for our farmers. 180 I feel very strongly about this thing. I have gone to considerable trouble to investigate the facts, and in my opinion it is our business to roceed to develop our flocks and erds as one of our best assets, Ten mittion sheep would add to the assets of Canada two million dollars. It is not merely a matter of tariff. We should deal with each phase of this question as it comes up, and aim at getting within the next ten or fifteen years at least ten million in Canada. I should like- to add one or two words further. First of all, I should not like to have my hon. friend (Mr, Brown) get too badly mixed up in some of his figures. Some five million pounds of Canadian wool are exported and that wool is exported to the United States. You may ask your- self the question, "Why is that?"

Che Rite Hat Shoppe Showroom in the Nem Archer Block Did the hon. member for Lisgar ever go to any of the leading exporters of wool and ask them some questions about this? Mr, McGibbon: No, he never did. Mr. Kaiser: Well I have done so, and they told me this-- Mr. McGibbon: The hon member for Lisgar might learn something if he did that. Mr. Kaiser: They told me that one' of the great difficulties about the wool business in Canada is that we have scarcely any men in this country trained to grade wool. I have been told by these men that in our large industries--as they will do sometimes | --need 100,000 pounds of wool of a certain class anda certain grade, it is convenient for them to buy it in tre- Unfortunately for us our people have never been trained to grade our wool in the way those manufacturers require. Now these men tell me there are factories in the United States that can use our wool, no matter whether it is graded or not, for the purpose of making large quantities of rough blankets and Indian ware where grading is not re- quired, and that is the reason they ex- port their ungraded wool to United States. What I want to get at is this: The men who know about sheep --and I claim that I have been asso- ciated with men in my county who are regarded as authorities on sheep not only in Canada but in the. United tell me and I am inclined to believe it, that we can grow any kind of wool in Canada that can be grown anywhere else in the world and of as good qual- ity, and that we have the market at' our door. But we require government assistance and government leadership in order that the fleece should be broughf to certain centres in each province and men taught there how to grade and handle the wool. If we had a school of this kind we would be able in a few years in Canada to meet the requirements of this country with our own wool produced from our own sheep, and in that way help the Can- adian farmer. I am satisfied that if my hon, friend from Lisgar would get in touch with the men who are author- ities on this question he would change his mind in a great many respects.: We have the best market for wool in the world. Our people use more wool. per head than the people of any other country on the face of the earth. We have the soil for raising the sheep, and we have the sheep that ean pro-: duce the wool, but it will require con certed action and leadership on the ° part of 'the government, in co-opera- tion with the stock raisers.
