___________________________Legislative Assembly ___________________________ man, I would call him a lazy Premier, a lasy Premier I would have to refer to him as. But what is he doing here? He is talking to a cow, here he is talking to a cow! Leo F. RoasHer : Paying any attention to him? Frank Myers : Yes, she ia too, she is listening. Leo F. Roasiter : The only one that is. Frank Myers : He is very happy and the cow is happy too and manys the time I talked to a cow. (Laughter) I was brought up with animals which I always loved and still love, make no mistake about that. Walter R. Shaw : The cow thought he was the calf. Frank Myers : Oh, no! Aw, no and no doubt it would be a very interesting conversation. But the reason I say this, I wish I could get another as it is getting pretty well rim-racked. Walter R. Shaw : I got one 111 give you, Frank. Frank Myers : Because I look at this day after day and the wife one day she ft a little angry and tired and I was looking at it and she said, "No, not again." said, "Yes, again". But what intrigues me the most of all is this. "Liberals are going to appoint a fulltime Minister of Agriculture." Walter R. Shaw : Oh, ho! Frank Myers : A fulltime Minister of Agriculture! I wonder what do they mean by that? Honourable Robert E. Campbell : We have. Frank Myers : We always had one, Sir . My father was Minister of Agriculture long before you were ever heard tell of. Now I am not criticizing you, Sir, in any way, I am just trying in a very humble manner to help you out, Sir. (Laughter). Because I am afraid during the election campaign — I might as well be frank about this — I never like to say one thing and think something else. During the election campaign the present Premier was built up so high he had no other place to go, no other alternative but to start coming down and I am going to try in some small manner to ease that fall. (Laughter and applause). But a fulltime Minister of Agri¬ culture could you answer that for me please. A full time Minister of Agriculture what is meant by that? Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : Will you hold that up? Frank Myers : 111 hold it up sure. But anyway here he is.... Some Member : A Holstein! Frank Myers : Oh yes, a nice Holstein cow. You know, since he seems so Jovial, I wasn't going to mention this, but I can hear him say to the cow. He is ask¬ ing her, "Well what do you want?" (Laughter). I can hear her say, "I am quite happy where I am." (Applause). And perhaps we hear him say, "I wonder which end of you gets up first?" I don't know if he knows which end gets up first or not, and it doesn't make any difference. But however, now let us take a look at this Minister of Agriculture that is no good. I mean this. What have we got in the price of potatoes? A Resolution through for feed bills that would be no good; it ia too late. You should have been on the alert the day that you were appointed. In other words you are the boss of the agricultural department fa Prince Edward Island . You should have been on the alert. I dont know if there is anything you could do about it but at least you could try. I wonder what did he do, Mr. Speaker , he appointed or the Cabinet I guess appointed, one of the best potato growers, the most qualified Ktato grower fa Prince Edward Island , the , Canada , in fact per- ps the rest of the world fa the person of Horace Willis . If you would have said the next day, Mr. Willis go therefore throughout all Nations and look up prospects... Frank Jardine : And all the people. —80—
