Dr. Chisholm Again Advocates It la Parliament, tom. I believe It will not be long until the farmers of eastern Canada will realize that these cold storage warehouses are just as ueeessery to surveys in the pursuit of their industry as sae grain elevators to the western fanners. I have no doubt that t w enty years froia now the people then living will look Back with pitying eyes at the present condition of the farmers in this country. Our descendants will I fear have to came to the conclusion that the farmers of the present tune are as far behind the times as we feel that (ILe farmers of bygone flays were, whocut their grain with a sickle and threshed it with a flail. Let me say further, that like a good many others, I am of the opinion that the percen- tage of aid provided for in the Bill is scarcely sufficient. Some believe that the ,Lid might be distributed dilferent- ly, but I feel that in this, en initial stage, when it is simply an educational question, when capital is afraid to risk itself in these new enterprises, it would be well indeed if the minister could see his way to increase the per- ceutage from 30 per cent. to 50 per . �j cent. The steamship companies re- SCARED PiNO 1T NER ceived 50 per cent„ and the bait free- zers of the maritime provinces got 50 joND per cent. subsidy, I do not know ,e why the farmers of eastern Canada are not just as much entitled to get 50 per cent. as these others. I believe the 30 per cent. should be paid down, and the remaining 20 per cent. should be distributed over three years. I quite approve of keeping the system under the control of the government, but I repeat that the percentage which the Bill proposes is scarcely sufficient. Be that as it may, and taking the Bill as it is, I feel it is a step in the right direction and I shall have pleasure in supporting it. In the House of Commons, on Feb. 1st, Hon, Sydney Fisher moved the second reading of his Cold Storage Bill, which, aims to eneoulage the es- tablishment of cold storage ware- houses for the preservation of perish- able farm products. A number of the members spoke on the question, which is evidence that Dr. Chisholm, M. P. for East Huron, has by his persistent efforts succeeded in arousing an interest in the House on the matter. It was apparently only when he had repeatedly brought the matter to the attention of the House, that the Minister of Agricnl- tare took the first step towards the introduction of the system. The Bill now before the House is only the initial step, but when the benefits to be derived are seen, the farmers of Canada will not be satisfied until there is a complete system of cold storage for perishable products from the producer in Canada to the con- sumer in the British markets. The discussion on the second read- ing of the Bill was productive of good, inasmuch as after Dr. Chisholm and others had spoken, the Minister of Agriculture announced that he pro- posed to increase the grant for pre- liminary tests from $100,000 to $150,- 000. The following is DR, CrusuoLiti'S SPEECH. Mr. Speaker :—I think that the re- marks we have just heard from the hon. member for Grey (Mr. Telford) are very pertinent to this question. I think it would be a great advantage that farmers should control this cold storage system and that it should as far as possible, be kept out of the con- trol of single individuals. I noticed to -day during the discussion some- thing that was very satisfactory and that was that every person seemed to think that a system of cold storage was absolutely necessary in this coun- try. There have been many criticisms made in regard to the Bill and I may perhaps be able to make one or two myself, but still, after all, I think we are all in favour of the idea and the principle. We think that the Minis- ter of Agriculture (Mr. Fisher) is mov- ing in the right direction. We ,oust remember, however, that we in this House are better posted in regard to this matter than are even many of our farmers who are to be benefitted Paid-up Capital, $10,000,000 Rest, - - - 5,000,000 Total Assets, - 113,000,000 Branches throughout Canada, and hi .the United States and England BANKING BY MAIL Clerk to petition the Dominion Gov - eminent to construct a harbor of re- fuge at Invethuron, where it is said inch a harbor can be constructed without great expense. At Inver. heron there is said to be 00 acres which are suitable for harbor puI poses. According to government charts there are 30 feet of water in the harbor and a half to mile out there are 125 feet. It is thought that an ex- penditure of $250,000 would bo neces- sary to construct a harbor. One Of The Saddest Stories First it was a cold, neglected Tof 0011,'90 anti catarrh developed.

It cannot be planned and carried out in a day or in a year. It will take time and money. It will take a great deal more than $100,000, because, if it is not continuous and complete, it will be a failure.

They must be shown that their profits Wingham, Ont., Branch :—A. can not only be very greatly increased but that the cash value of their farms can in many cases be more than doubled. I therefore approve pf the fact that the hon. Minister of Agricul- ture is, in this case, going along cau- tiously and slowly. It will be neces- sary to have an educational campaign instituted; we will need an educa- tional campaign in this instance simi- lar to that carried on when the cheese factory system was first introduced into Quebec and Prince Edward Island and some parts of western Canada. The first thing to do is to show the farmers the advantages that will ac- crue to them from this system, and then encourage them to put their own shoulders to the wheel and help them- selves. Another point that has not been touched on in the debate, and which is of considerable moment, is this:— When the farmers discover that they can take their strawberries, or their early apples or other perishable pros ducts, and put them into cold storage and almost immediately go down to the bank and draw advances on these products, they will certainly be greats ly pleased. As it Is now, even after these fruits are gathered they often go to rot and decay, and consequently be transacted E. Smith, Manager. t ° Ca2rrAr.
