Since the announcement by Cuba s few days ago of the exten- sion of the heavy duty on importat- ions of table potatoes to cover the twelve months of the yea-r, which makes shipping from Canadian grow- ing provinces prohibitive, H. H. Hatfield, of Hartland, N. 28., President of the Associated Shippers Association and A. n. Mccaih of Flor enoeviile, N. H, vice president have written Hon. Robert Weir Ottawa, Federal Minister of Agriculture, pointing out the seriousness of the situation. and asking that steps be taken toward ‘the appointment of s. commission to investigate the pas- sibilities of such a trade agreement between the two countries. A spec- ial m of mom‘ of the As- sociation is being called to discuss the situation and deter-mine what steps shall be taken to hurry action in the matter so that some remedy may be effected before the planting season, which commences during the last week of April.
