: Agriculture Minister Frank. Rich- | “ter suffered “the most severe attack: “of.-his.. career’ in“ that’ capacity..on: : ‘Tuesday and-:. Wednesday . of. this. .- weeky: It. took. seven: ‘hours’ of legis- “lative debate. to Pass ; his. estimates, » and dam told this.

Many’ of the services - that. have been | given: by the: department of} agriculture in. the - past are’ now being: charged .for, and . the’. money received: is being credited «to .con- ‘than ° to the cost-of the service.” This means that while ‘the minister claims’ that -he “is. spending: $3. million ..on. agri- which .. is. some $600,000 less than the legislature ap- proved ‘for. the year ending March 31,.1965, he is actually spending even ‘less than . this amount,’ because: al- “most $80,000 is being paid into con- solidated revenue’ ‘by . the farmers using ‘these services.

This:is:such‘a small-amount jin our budget of some. $700 million ‘that. it hardly, seems. worth* the effort, -the Anconvenience or the-nuisance value.

But’ even: more. ‘important, ' from the point of . view. of the. public gen- erally. ‘and: farmers in, ‘particular, itis discouraging the” use’. of -ser- ‘vices ‘that. are. designed. to assist’ the
