Mr. Bhaw opened the discussion by explaining that an experiment is being currently conducted and the experience of farmers using grass land for cnsllage is being compiled. The purpose of this ex- periment is to ascertain how much saving in hay can be made and how grasslands can be improved for pastures. Mr. Parent revealed that the overall production of grass silage in this Province is less than it was 50 years ago and it was his belief that farmers in general were not giving the attention to this phase of farming that they should give. "Grass," said he. "is the cheapest food for our live- stock and since this constltues one of our main sources of revenue we should give it more attention" Mr. Parent cautioned against put- ting all the fertilizer on thc pota- io crop, It is important that pas- tures receive yearly applications if they are going to fulfill their purpose.

Dhcloses Plans For Four More A-Fumaces By Frsnk Carey WASHINGTON. (AP) .. The U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Tuesday night disclosed plans to build four more atomic ”furn- aces"-including one using thor- ium as a fuel for the first time-- in a stepped-up quest for econ- omical industrlai power from the atom. The program was outlined by Dr. Henry Bmyth, a member of the commission, in an address prepared for a meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers here. Unusual Design The new reactors. planned for construction in the next five years, are of unusual design. And the outline of two of them. in- volving the "breeding" of atomic fuel. presumably means that the AEC has gained new confidence in the practical possibilities of pro- ducing in a. furnace more fuel than is actually consumed in keeping it going. . Smyth said the question of whether atomic power "can be produced cheaply enough to be of general use" may not be con- clusively answered by these de- vices. But he added: "The Atomic Energy Commis- sion believes that it can be done and this is the opinion also of the several private industrial groups who have been studying the prob- lem at the invitation of the com- mission." The new test "furnaces"-each involving a different type of op- eration-will be designed to have .-m-n-m--D---? (Continued on Page 8 col. 5) rr. In N. 3. Gas Tax SAINT JOHEN. N. iB..

March 9. fSpecInli-- A question concerning accomoda- tion for Royal Canadian Mounted Police personnel at Borden was placed on today's House of Com- nns order paper by J. Angus Mac- Lean. Conservative member for Queens. Mr.,Macbcan asks: "Has the government purchased accomoda- tlon for the Royal Canadian Moun- ted Police in Borden. Prince Ed- ward Island? "If so, how was the purchase negotiated. from whom was this purchase made and what was the lotal cost of the purchase?" Forecasts Surplus For current Year - ur. Fielding, the nst debt is silo.- ooo.ooo and in addition the prov- ince has large fixed capital assets. The per capits debt had in- creased from 8136 in 1030 to 8179 today but considering the reduced value of ths dollar this Jump was not too great. Mr. Fielding, in remarks which Robart L. Stanfield.

The statement was made by Donald Fleming (PC-Toronto Eg- lintom who opposed s OCT mo- tion to set aside the government's decennial revision of the bank act now before the Commons and con- sider "national ownership and control of the chartered banks."

Electrificat A detailed outline of the Gov- ernment's plan to provide rural electrification to all areas in the Province was submitted by Premier A. W. Mathcson in the Legislature yuterday afternoon as he con- cluded his part of the debate on the Draft Address. The Premier spoke at length on this phase of the Government's policy which was implemented during the past year a few months after Mr.M.atheson took over lead- ership of the Government. "There are a number of areas in the three counties ready for electric power now." he stated. "Power will be provided to them as soon as they have their prop- erties wired," he added, while pointing out that these were only sample areas and not the only dis- tricts the Government had in mind for electric power in the very near future. In Kings County these sample areas include Bay Fortune, Sail- orts Hope, Annandale and Little Pond; also the area from Com- mercial Road West to Aillston for two miles. In Queens County they are Frenchfort for a distance of one and a half miles; Mermaid. Mount Ryan and Red Point for a dist- ance of three and a half miles: and the Malpequc Road through Clinton and New London for a distance of seven and a half miles.
