Ottawa, April 7.\u2014A plea for the establishment of additional experimental arms in the older Provinces was made in the House of Commons tonight by Donald Sutherland, Conservative Member for Oxford South.Mr.Butherland declared that experimental farms were need- od in the older sections because, in them.agriculture was on a more scientific basis.The Member for Oxford South backed up his plea by declaring that farming in the newer and richer sections was usually a mere exploitation of the land.He later moved to reduce the vote by 344,360.The motion was lost.When the Agricultural Estimates were taken up in the House of Commons today, replying to a question by Dr.Tolmle, Hon.W.R.Motherwell, Minister of Agriculture, said it was not proposed to establish any experimental farms this year.The grant for experimental farms this year was $1,315,000, as compared with $1,270,639.50 last year, Mr.Motherwell sald.There might be an item later on to provide for obtaining land for one or two farms.Experimental farm work had een held up during the war and was still much below what was actually needed.R.B.Hanson (Conservative York-Sudbüry) asked that the Assistant at Fredericton, who had been in charge sinec the post of Chief had been vacant, be given the promotion.Mr.Motherwell agreed that this principle should bs followed wherever possible., Donald Sutherland (Conservative, Oxford South) questioned the wisdom of establishing an experimental farm in Northern British Columbia as proposed.Ontario, he feit, was the one province in Canada which had not been fairly treated in this regard.Hon.W.R.Motherwell stated that there was a certain amount of overlapping in the work of the experimental farms in Saskatchewan.He had discussed the question of merging the farms with that of the University of Saskatchewan, with the University head, but nothing de- Anite had yet resulted.te = Provincial Fosiu us Mr.Sutherland regretted that the feeling im the House ssmed to be more Provincial than it was some yours ago.Of late years there was a tendency to vote large sums of money for agriculture without deeply considering the purposes to which it was to be put.The Provinces were not as careful in spending th federal grants as they would fuif value was not received for expenditures.experimental farms, and he believed that he placed mors faith in them than dig the Minister of Agriculture.There was really more need for experimental farms in the older Provinces than in the new, because the work of agriculture was on a more scientifio basis in the older sections.Where the land was new, rich and fertile, it was easy to carry on farming.That was really not farming but mersiy exploitation of the riches stored by Nature.The older Provinces had never objected to grants for the Improvement of the newer sections.There was a waste of money at the Dominion Experimental Farm at Ottawa.The Estimate for experimental farms this year was $44,380.50 more than last year and it was a question in Mr.Sutherland's mind whether this money was not for wages.If this was true, ther was end of an explanation.It was a strange condition of affairs.The experimental farm at Ottawa was run more as a show place tor visitors than as an experimental farm.It was all right to grow tomatoes and oranges under glass during January, but this would not help the farmers.European Competition.Canada had imported millions of tons of butter, besides bacon and eggs from European countries because they could be purchased there cheaper than in the United States.These goods came in under the British preferential tariff.In spite of this, the Progressives wanted all foodstuffs placed on the tree list.The truth was that the farmers in the older sections of the expressed the time would come when experimental farms could be established in sufticlent numbers to hope that the meet all demands.It was really complimentary te old Ontario the advanced condition of ite culture did not require experimental farme.Replying to several questioners, who had asked if experimental farms could not be placed on a commercial basia, the Minister said this was not the idea underlying the establierment of the farms.There had been a iot of talk that the ez- perimental farme were a sort of \u201cagricultural Senate\u201d where an easy life was led, but this, like some of the talk about civil service em- ployess having such an easy job, wae cheap popularity which did not do very much good.There was something like $30,000 in view for establishing new places but he could not give any proposed location at present.The change was made thay there were 31 experimental ba if they were compelled to raise the money themselves.Sometimes Mr.Butheriand was not under-tseémating the value of CHANGES IN LAW EXAMINATIONS Conference In Montreal Resulted In Council Making Two Charges Montreal, Que.April 7.\u2014A con- (erence between cepresentatives of] the law faculties of the Montreal, McGill and Laval Universities and the Provinelal Council of the Bar here today resuited in the Council deciding to make two changes in the conditions attending examinations which graduate students must pase before being admitted to the practice of law in this Province.In each session at which students are submitted to written examinations, the time shall be extended by one hour, making four hours in all to write their answers.Secondly, more latitude will be allowed In regard to failure in what are considered to be secondary subjects of the curriculum.Faliure in one such subject resulted hitherto in the student being \u201cplucked.\u201d In future he will fail only it he is below minimum on two of the secondary subjects The extraordinary large number of failures at recent Bar examinations brought about today\u2019s conference.PRINCIPAL OF BISHOP'S RESIGNATION ACCEPTED Special Meeting Of Board Of Governors Was Held In Sherbrooke Sherbrooke, April 7\u2014The resignation of Rev.Bedford Jones, as

Government's revenues for the last fiscal year totalled $4.686.~ 839, and the expenditures were $4,- 654,031, giving a deficit on current account of $67,191, according to the Public Accounts for the year ending September 30, 1921, which were tabled in the Legislature today .The revcnue was $313,811 less than the estimates for the year, while the expenditures were $200,478 in excess of the appropriations.As compared with the previous fiscal year the revenue showed an {increase of $786,833.Thess increases were mainly from highway and corporation taxes, motor vehicle fees and sale of school books.farms In Quebec and only two in Ontario.Mr.Motherwell explained that this was due to a confusion bitween experimental and demonstration farms.There were only four experimental farms in Quebec, while thers were 33 demonstration farms.The later being owned by the farmers who were operating them.These demonstration farms had been established in the last tew years and the credit for them was due to Dr.Tolmde, Bo far there had been very few applioa- tions for this method of agricultural instruction in Ontario, but now there were some applications com- Ing In.Eight Hour Day.Dealing with remarks made by D.A.Kennedy (Progressive, Edmonton Weat,) of the eight hour day, the Minister said he thought Mr.Kennedy must have meant eight before and sight hours after.WwW.J.Ward, (Progressive, Dauphin,) thought it would be a good iden to devote one of the demonstrations to trying out the sight hour day.At this point in this discussion, Donald Sutherland interposed with his amendment to cut down the vote by $44,300.This would reduce it to the same figure which had been voted last year.Mr.Motherwell said that it wae Impossible to operate experimental tarme where the scope of the work was constantly inoreasing, without Increasing the expenditure.During the present year thers was, for instance, new work being undertaken in plant pathology.This included the Investigation of the cause of the rest and It $400,000 were spent on this work, the country would be money ahead if a remedy was ve- cured.Mr.Sutherland'e mdtien having been declared lost, the item for the ferme

Irish Constabulary, but nothing has been forthcoming to explain how this was arranged with the Provisional Government.- Reports persist of attempts to harmonize the Irish parties.The Dublin correspondent of the London Times understands an earnest effort is being made to arrange some sort of modus vivendi between the Free State and Republican lead dur- Ing the next two months.The situation is that the two parties agree to agree to protect freedom of elec- tlons and to employ their united military forces in discouraging law- lessnesa, The correspondent believes that the Lord Mayor of Dublin and others are trying to effect a conference between the two sets of leaders.He says that responsible men of all parties are frightened by the growing disorders and the possibility of serious conflicts between the two wings of the Irish Republican Army.The movement, which started from without, is described by the correspondent as gathering such weight in public opinion that the leaders of both sides may be unable to ignore it.Archbishops of the Protestant Episcopal! Church in Ireland have issued a pronouncement expressing the horror and apprehension with which they have seen that \u201cthe political differences which so unhappily trouble our land have been accompanied lately by terrible crimes which are widely attributed to reli- © antagonisms.\u201d ve prelates declars it is incred- {ble that any sincere Christians have in any way been concerned in these crimes, and say they are convinced that factions \u201cwhose aim is probably pure anarchy are using the traditional opposition for their own pur- oes.> An appeal is made by the churchmen for everybody to exercise Christian charity and forbearance.Worst Attack Yet Dublin, April 7\u2014The worst attack yet made in pursuance vf the boycott on Belfast goods took place at 3 o'clock this morning when the bonded stores of the Custom House were raided and large quantities of wine and whiskey, mostly from & Belfast distiliery, with which Sir James Craig, the Ulster Premier, is connected, were destroyed.One hundred men armed with revolvers, sledge hammers and pick axes broke their way into the premises where they smashed casks of liquor, pouring 1t over the floor and into the city sewers.; An offictal estimate of the damage has not yet been made, but the Dublin Evening Mall places the figure at hundreds of thousands of pounds Most of this, however, would be the duty, 80 the loser is the Government authority, in this case the provisional Government.The boycott committee states that six thousand ceske were destroyed or roughly.half a million gallons.I estimates the value of the liquor, apart from the duty, at £250,000.The boycotters heard à ship had been chartered to remove the liquor and decided to destroy it.Boyootting Belfast goods is now the prominent activity of
