Mr. BRODER:

One thing that should not be overlooked is that the same bulletin will not suit all sections of the country. Why not get those that will suit the different sections and publish more of them, and economize in that way? As far as blue books are concerned, the local newspapers which are supplied with all these documents, make very little use of them, and it would be better to have them sent by request. A great saving could be made in that way, and what was saved might be expended in increasing the issue of the agricultural bulletin which is so much desired by the people throughout the country.

Mr. BRODER:

The department cannot have an inspector in every sugar bush, and some of this dishonest work is done in the sugar bush as well as in the shop; that is,

dishonest sugar makers will use refined sugar and that sort of thing to increase the quantity of their syrup, and it is a difficult thing to get at that. The officials in all the departments here at Ottawa would not be sufficient to watch all the sugar bushes in the country. We want to protect the honest man.

Mr. BRODER:

The fact is that with all the inspection we have there is a lot of spurious syrup being sold in the shops of Ottawa to-day. So far, the enforcement of the law has not been effective.

Mr. BRODER:

Could a man get through without paying freight at all in those days when there was no system?

Mr. BRODER:

Have they no collated rates?
