THE PRINCE AS

"KEEN GARDNER"

OMISSION AT A CORNISH SHOW

In a ten-minute address to Corn-i ish farmers at the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Show at St. Austell, the Prince of Wales sald:

"We in Great Britain should re-i gard farming as an industry, our farms as factorles, and the farmer as a manager.

"If the farmer cannot find a market for the goods he produces it is up to him to explore to try to And another line.

The latest figures published by the Ministry of Transport, coupled with statements made by oficials of a number of road-users' organisa tions, indicate that the number of motor-conches throughout the coun- try is being reduced considerably.

This is attributed mainly to the "As a keen gardener I enjoyed! provisions of the Road Traffic Act, what I saw in the horticultural sec- but, at the same time, it is claimed tion to-day, but it occurred to me in many quarters that the big drop that there were no displays of com- in the reglatration figures of pas-mercial horticulture that side of senger-carrying vehicles means de-farming which I consider very im- finitely that the peak has been portant in this country.” развей.

This year's figures show a fall of 1,301 compared with last year.

The position was summed up by representatives of the following organisations:

After referring to his visit to Denmark last year where, he said, ho was particularly impressed by the organisation of the bacon in- dustry, the Prince added, "I am sure we could 'increase this side of farming by concentrating on, pro- Automobile Association- "Weducing a selected breed of pig and are probably better served in the eliminating all others." way of motor-coach concerns than any other country in the world. If the peak has been reached, it is due to the merging of services as a result of the Road Traffic Act.

"Although the South of England and the industrial areas are very adequately served, there are still certain outlying districts where bot ter coach services would be justi- Red, As new areas, too, are de veloped, residential and Industrial- ly. further road services will be necessary."

OBSOLETE VEHICLES. Royal Automobile ClubThere must be a point where transport needs are adequately covered, and it is undoubtedly true that the majority of new vehicles now being registered are merely replacing obsolete ones. The new licensing restrictions tend to check the num- ber of happy-go-lucky owners, who no longer find it worth their while to operate in a small way.

In a reference to unemployment the Prince sald, "We must realise the necessity of some occupation, mental or physical, being given to those less lucky than ourselves. It is hard enough to be out of a job, but it is far worse not to be fit enough through enforced idleness to take up a job when given the op- portunity.

The Prince flew back from Corn- wall,

organise the Army for a big war In Europe. But I would venture to say that, a big war in Europe is not likely to be fought by our Army for many years.
