Potato Shippers Already Worrying About Car Supply

Local potato shippers yesterday citpresled uneasiness respecting the lupply of refrigerator cars for the next few weeks. One important shipper said that unless the Cana- riiar: National Railways is able to route an adequate number of "reefers" to the Province to take care of the export trade in No- vember and December, island sliip- pers may easily lose the preferen- tial duty on seed potatoes as they lost ii on the table stock.

' A U. S. Election Result

NEW YORK. Oct. 2’l—tA?l- President Truman tonight climax- ed a. series of fear-inspiring char- ges against his Republican op- ponents wlth the blunt declarat- ion that "the peace and freedom of the entire world" depends upon the result of Tuesday's elections.

1n his address prepared for de- livery in Boston tonight the De- mocratic presidential candidate claimed that Republicans, with an "anythlng-to-get-votes" point of view are "helping a Communist intrigue" to beat him.

Truman did not explain just why the election outcome would have such an effect on world peace.

Governor Thomas Dewey. c011- tlnuing his chase of the Demo- cratio candidate back from the mid-west, followed Truman in Cleveland tonight and tomorrow night will follow him into Boston.

Margarine Ban Judgment Nov. l5

OTTAVifA, Oct. 27—tCPi The Supreme Court decision on the validity of the Parliament's ban on margarine la expected about Nov. l5. it was learned today. The judgment had been ex ccted earlier but was delay- ed by a heavy roll of cases be- fore the court.

The court heard nrgument on the constitutionality of the leg- islation early this month. The Dominion argued that the pro- hibiting act. passed 62 years ago. was within the competence

of Parliament while opposing groups held that the ban should come under provincial jurisdiction."

The island's cranberry crop this season has been an unusually large one and of excellent quality, Mr. Chester E. Shaw. chief fruit and vegetable iiispectoi" for tile Domin- ion Departriiciit nf Agritulttire, said yesterday.

Figures for the volume of cran- berry exports are not yet available,

Mr. Shaw said, and the exact Qtltlilill)‘ exported can only be estimated, since permits for the

shipment of Island cranberries to other Provinces are not required.

Most shippers. however. like to have the berries inspected before exporting and copies of those certificates “ill, later mi, give a.

fairly accurate idea of the quantity exported.

Expect Big Things From New Wheat

By GEORGE KITCHEN

OTTAWA. Oct. Z7~tCPl4Th0ib sands of Western Canada farmers will seed Prairie wheatlancls next spring with a new bread grain variety which promises to yield bigger and better crops and creasing wealth.

The variety is Saunders wheat. r. strlaiii developed at the Central Experimental Farm here. ft. ma- tures earlier than other varieties. produces a larger yield per acre and is resistant lo many common wheat diseases. It also has fine milling and bread-making quali- ties.

Its name is apt. it is identified

for two Saunders famous in the Experimental Farm Service -- the late Di". William Saunders. firs’

director of the Domiiilon-oticxitod service, and his son, the late Sir Charles Saunders. first Domiiuon cerealist.

The first link in the chain of scientific development leading in the new variety took place in 1938, when experts crossed Thatcher." an. early-ripening variety known as Brandon.

Now, there are more than 100.- 000 bushels of Saunders seed av- ailable and these will be distrib- uted to farmers nex: year

Saunders ripens four to fivr-days earlier than Thatcher. This is important in early-frost areas. It returns i2 to .5‘! husihels an sci-e against i0 to 50 for Thatcher.

The seed will not. be sold in

quantities of more than six bush- els to a grower.
