§ Mr. P. Wellsasked the Minister of Agriculture what assistance he is in a position to render to tenants who desire to make use of the Marginal Production Scheme, to grub up uneconomic orchards, but are refused permission by their landlords.
Mr. AmoryMy power to give consent to improvements for which the landlord's consent has been refused does not extend to the grubbing up of orchards except where this can be construed as reclamation of waste land or the removal of obstructions to cultivation.
