Tracadle Cross meeting opened last

evening, at 7.45 o‘ciock, John Court, Esq., of Donaldston, in the chair. in a few words the chairman outlined the purpose of the meeting, and call-

ed on Mr. Adams.

Mr. Adams first. distinguished be-

iwcen powdery and common scab. it lives on the potato and derives all its nourisltment. t’rotn it, so that when the st-ab is plentiful enough it makes the tuber tuttch less valuable for food. An excess of lime in the soil makes thc disease much worse, so that makes it easier for you to get rid of tile. disease. It only attacks the tubers. The spores or seed oi' tho powdery st-ab can live in the soil for three years, but not i`or ten. if ani- mals are t'ed raw potatoes. the spores will infect the manure, anti all infect- ed potatoes should be boiled. Tile disease is generally spread by plant- ing infected seed. It' is tlistributeti fairly evenly over the whole province.

Every farmer should tintl out if he

has it ou his farm, atld to assist him itl this, ite should get copies of f<‘l,\rm- er's Bulletin Nos. 4 and 5 i'rotn the Dominion Botanist, (‘ent.ral Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. These ran be had free, not. costing even l'or postage.

lip t.o 1912 potatoes could be freely

imported itlto Ettrnpo, but on Sept. tiill of that year, the importation ol’ all potatoes from liltrope was forbid- dcll on account of canker.

Tile lfniterl States placed all em-

bargo otl potatoes, until such a time tls the Secretu.t'_v of Agricuitttre should be stltislietl that the powdery scall has been killed ont. Tile tiuarantitlc t-all be lifted from any country or dis- trict wllicll is known to be free. 'i‘lle word “dist.rlct" was aft.er\vards do lined to be a provlttffc or a wcil-dc- tincd geogrnpllitul a.rea, so that so long as one farm on Prince Edward Island has powdery scnb, it will not be possible to ship potatoes from Print-c i~]dwurd lshltld into the llnitcll States. hast July the ilolniuion Bot- tluist went tlp to »\Vashington and made recotntuendatiotls which have been accepted by the Horticultural Board btlt are no\v hung up otl accotttlt of the war. As far as I kllow, these regttlations will permit any farmer to send in his potatoes. who can get n certificate that his potatocs have no powdery scail und have been grown on Iuntl free t'roln powdery scab, but one ease of potatoes certified frec from scab would lead to the embargo being again placed on.

The tlext speaker was Mr. Iiolm-

hen. He said that Dakota Red pota- toes seem to be tt tiisense resistant variety. The same is trite of the t-ross-bred potatoes, rt cross between the Dakota Red and Melntyrc.

Specimens of potatoes tltfoctoti with

conllnon and with powdery scab were then passed. around and everyone had the opportunity of examining thom.

Mr .iohll (‘ourt.-l fitui that if

potatoes are planted near the barn, where ashes or lime is plentiful, I get plenty of scub. if I plant those scabby potatoes at tho back of the farm, I have clean potatoes.

Mr llolmdcn.~~That is correct for

common scab, blti not for powdery scab.

Q--`-Docs il. go deeper illto the potato

than the common crab?

A.---lt is hard to ony, sometimes the

onlmon llcnb may be worse, sometimes the powdery scab may be the worst.

The next speaker was Prof. Ross.

who urged the farmers to co-operate in getting clear of this disease. He also suggested that it' the American market was closed to us we should grow fewer potatoes and grow more turutps.

Father Mclntyre was tho next

speaker. I-Ie urged the farmers to try to get rid of it, and asked that his name bo taken and bulletins be sent to him. Ile moved a vote of thanks to Mr Adams and Mr liolmden, which was seconded by Mr Smith and sup- ported by Messrs Angus McAulal' and 'John Court. and carried unainmously.

The attendance was not large, but

appreciative, and everyone went home satisfied that they could see the differ- ence in the two kinds of scab.
