Potato Root

d Eelworm Is

Ntld. Problem

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CPL-The potato root eelworm is more wid e spread in Newfoundland than originally thought. a fed- eral agriculture department spokesman said here. A ’method of curbing or eliminat- ing the infestation is now be- ing sought

First discovered in a small area of Conception Bay. it is not definitely known how wide- spread the tiny parasite is. but it can remain undetected for years until its numbers multi- ply to the point where damage to potato plants becomes notice- able '

But now that It is discovered. agriculture experts have taken more than 2,000 soil samples from fields and farms in New- foundland to discover the (xtent of the infestation. the spokes- man said.

The eelworm infests the roots

small, stunted potatoes. They are not harmful for human consump-

ton.

Newfoundland is already un- der quarantine because of po- tato wart, which has prohibited ex rt of Newfoundland pota- toes since 1910.

.New Oil Pool Sought North Of Edmonton

EDMONTON (CP) — Cloaked with the secrecy of a military operation. eight oil companies are probing the Snipe Lake area, miles northwest of here. seeking to establish a new oil pool.

Oilfield spies. politely known as scouts. uzz up and down rough cutline trails on motor to- boggans looking for clues that might help them determine what the opposition has found.

During the last month air- craft have skimmed above rigs at tree-top level while drilling experts inside craned their necks for the signs of a strike.

Men armed with powerful bi- noculars sometimes stand watch at a fair distance from the more promising sites. kept from mov- ing closer by company security guards.

The focal point of this activity is the east shore of Snipe Lake. roughly 25 to 30 miles east of Valleyview. a centre that blos- somed 1950

SITE IS MAGIC WORD ,

Snipe Lake was recently de- scribed by the authoritative publication Oil in Canada as “the magic word in western Canada's petroleum industry.
