oth Kings MLA Backs Process Crop Farmers

Provincial, government pro- tection for farmers who are. growing crops for processing plants was called for in the

re yesterday by Geotge ‘Ferguson (L--5th Kings).

Taking part in the draft ad- | dress debate, Mr. Ferguson said the growers should know that when their crops are ready they will be accepted by the plants, the growers should know what | prices they will growers should be able to pre- sent their invoices and get early payment for their crops.

“The government,’ he said, “has a right to. protect the growers; the plants were set up at the taxpayers” expense with little equity by the tompanies involved.”

Mr. Ferguson said every. ef- fort should be made to eradi-

cate potato crop diseases and he |

hoped ‘‘stronger regulations ‘Will be developed by the minister of agriculture and strictly oe forced.”

The speaker suggested that a ‘dairy -commission-should—be-.set

“up similar in-aim to the-western -

ARDA PROGRAM

Mr. Ferguson said he was sur- | prised at a statement by Agri- | culture Minister Andrew Mac- | Rae who said last year the pro- vince cannot afford to take ful! | advantage ‘of the money avail-

able to this province through the |

ARDA program. Pointing out that agriculture | ig a basic. revenue-producing in-

| dustry, Mr. Ferguson said “ha | felt agriculture was not getting its ‘fair share of the budget.’’ {He asked whether it was more infiportant to build a provincial building at a cost of “from $5,- 000,000 to $7,000,000"' than to have $750,000 for. agriculture. | “The government has been drag- ging its feet too long in taking fedetal money to help agricul- ture here,” he said.

He said fishermen in various. districts who’ have decided on a limit art-to be con- -“gratulated—in- “their attempt to | conserve the lobster’ industry. “IT hope” fishermen in other areas will do the same,"’ he said, “and that the federal gov- ernment will ‘enforce regulat- ions.”
