The United Nations would not be responsible for such a situation.

Fleet Carries P.E.i Seed To N.Y.

The following article, from the New York Times of recent date. will be read with general interest:

Into sleepy harbors of easterr. Long Island a steady stream of small coastal vessels flying the British flag is flowing these "days from ports in Prince Edward Island and Nova. Scotia, their holds bulg- ing with sacks of seed potatoes man to go into the fields of Long Island, one cf the country's main potato- raislng districts.

One unit of the "spud" fleet. the 850-ton Theron. was unloading yes- terday at Greenport. L. I. after ar- riving from Nova Scotla with a cargo of seed potatoes. The Kerr Steamship company, Inc.. is agent for the vessel. The Theron. whose home port is llalifax. N.S., is the largest craft on the run.

The waterfront of the old whal- ins Wwn of Sag Harbor. too. was a busy place in the past week as 5-500 bass of Canadian spuds were lifted ashore from the General Drury and trucked to near-by ware- houses, ready for distribution to the many potato growers on the islanii in need of seed for next year's crap.

one 01 the Primary reasons for ihis unusual method of shipping ”spuds." which usually arrive by freight car. is the fact that ship rates are lower now than those of rail lines.

A fleet of five small coastal ves- seb, four of them steel-huiled and one a wooden motorship, is engag- ed in this trade at present and J.F. Whitney do 00.. New York shipping agents, and the Kerr com- pany are handling the technical ile- talls of the operation,

Several Round Trips

The ships-the others are the Mary Sweeney. the Maid of La Have and the La Hove--are expected to make several round trips each be. tween Greenport or sag Harbor lillfl Summcrslde. Charlottehivsn, anrl Souris. P. E.I.

Their total cargo probably will be more than 2.000 tons and will provide part of the potatoes needed early next year to produce Lung Islandls bountiful poiaio crop. es- timated this year at 18.-500.000 bush- cls of sLx:ty pounds each.

Their importation is supervised by a Customs inspectcr sent out to the island from the city to check the Doiatoes and to assess iiic duty of either 3'll-'.- or 73 cents a 100- pound bag. depending on grade. levied by the United States.

There is nothing spectacular about the trove-ls of these four little shins on the "snud run." They normally complete-. the 830-900 mile run froin Prince Ezivvarti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence M eastern I.-on: island in about four days, at an av- craoe speed of ten knots.

Their distribution is not confined entirely to Long Island. some of the potatoes going as far as New Jersey and other potato raising areas in the New York area.
