During discussion of the estimates for the next fiscal year for the department of agriculture opposition members of the legislature fired question after j question at Agriculture Minister Kenneth Kicrnan. j The legislature approved the $1,268,235 estimate for the department and went on to the debate on the $7,012,799 estimate for the department of the attorney-general. In answer to questions and comments from CCF Opposition Leader Arnold Webster. Liberal Leader Lalng, Robert Strachan (CCF Cowlchan-Ncwcastlcl and other opposition members, Mr. Kicrnan said the milk control Is not the answer to the problems of the dairy industry. He said he thought most of the milk producers wanted milk controls above the producer levels but this was not solution with fluid milk production increasing every year. Controls I might be the answer if farmers j agreed to sell milk at the same j price as manufactured milk ; !
