ENCOURI-IGING NEWS FROM BOTH Bl-ITTLEFR
ENIIMEHS MEETING
NT NUNTIII ITIIIEH
The meeting lust night opened at
7.30. Professor Ross was appointed chairman. lie pointed out that the potato question was it most important olie to Prince Edward Island, as this province was the greatest potato- growing and exporting county on earth, according to its population.
Mr Adams was the first speaker.
He was asked the following questions: -ls there a large percentage ot' potatoes affected in foreign countries? No, not a large percentage. ls it not more common in heavy land than in sandy land? Yes, it is more common in soils that hold moisture.
Are they getting clear of the dis-
ease in lrelainl?
No; and 1 am afraid they will he
a long tlnie doing lt, as it is so widely distributed.
Mr I-Iolmden.-ilp to the present
time this year we have found about 36 new cases in the Island.
is there any way of disinfecting the
seed?
We do not recommend trying it.
Get clean seed.
Have you found any canker?
No. Will the inspection be general over
the Island?
We hope to make it general. Mr Partridge.~l have done some
inspection in this district und have found powdery scab on some loads at the factory, and will be around again to inspect farms.
Did you tind it large percentage
diseased on any load?
No. In fact it took an eagle eye
to detect it in some lends.
Well, then. we should disinfect even
clean-looking potatoes?
Yes, it would be a good precaution. Hon. A. A. McLean then outlined
the action of the Government on this matter. He stated that it had been brought up in the liouse at the last session and he had interviewed the Minister, the lion. Martin llurrell. who promised him to send inspectors to the Island. He told of the care that wits exercised in handling potatoes in Belgium. He thought the potato was a good money-maker, ami everything should be done to improve the potato industry. The Government will pro- vide inspectors us rapidly as possible, but it takes time to train suitable lnen.
Would it be safe to store clean
potatoes in a diseased cellar?
No; the spores might easily be
carried.
llow does lime in the soil encour-
age the disease, while lline in the cellar destroys the disease?
The lime used in ilie cellar is quirk-
linie, and will kill the disease germ. The lime in the soil is not so strong.
How can we get clean seed? Mr
Partridge inspected fourteen loads front one field ami found only one potato infected. How could they be inspected in the collar? it is going to be a great problem to secure pure seed.
Mr Adams.-We cannot guarantee
any seed clean.
Mr J. Artemas (}litrk.-I cannot re-
commend the importation of sccrl potatoes from Ontario. ’l`iicy do not yield nearly as well. lllorcovcr, they have a lot oi' liliizostoniit, wliich is a bad disease. l have fotind that dis- ease spreads vcry easily hy soil being
- carried from place to plitcc.
Would it not. be safer io disinfect
than to look for clean see<i'.’
I think you should gut. clcnn seed
and also disiiifect tlwm.
Walter Sinipson.--~'I`iicse iimpcctors
are finding powdery scab, but il. may be there uiul they may not tind it. I think we should be vory particular about the seed. We can see ii. when we are cutting tho sets.
What effect has powdery scith on
the crop?
ll. does not injure it to niiy great
extent. it is not anytliing like ns bud as the canker.
Will this disease get worse the
longer it is left?
We cannot say yet. Mr Crewys moved a vote of thanks,
seconded and carried unanimously. There were about 45 DN’-Seni-

ENIIEII IN PIIINNII
LONDON, Oct. 28.-The correspon-
dent of the Times at Warsaw, tele. graphing about the campaign in Itus- sian l’oltind, says: "Rodent, fifty. seven miles south of Warsaw was taken after a hard struggle. Large bodies of Russian cavalry occupied Lodz, 75 miles south-west of Warsaw to-tiuy. after considerable resistance. Tlic opinion is held here that Germany his definitely lost her opportunity in Poland, largely because she misjudged the attitude of the population, which is increasingly anti-German.”
RUSSIAN OFFICIAL
PETROGRAD, Oct. 28.-(Oiilcial)-
“ln a battle which has been in pro- gress for i’our days south of Pilltza River, our troops inflicted upon the Austro-German force a severe defeat. Between Pilitza ami Giowczow heroic efforts of otir troops on October 26 tleiiltitcly broke down the resistance of the Twentieth Corps and the ite- serve Guard Corps of the Germans.
"On the centre. after extremely des-
perate fighting we succeeded in es- tablishing it lirm foothold in the Bor- der Forcst region in the villages of Adanioll, Severlnoff and Marlunoif.
“On our left wing we captured by
assault a defensive position cstttblisli- cd at Polic-zna anti enveloped it por- tion of the Austrian troops near Ber- dzejc. __ _ .
“On the night of October 27 the
eneniy`s corps fell back in disorder towards it line between Eklinsk, Ra- doin and Ilia. We captured both cau- nons and prisoners.
“On the right bank ofthe Pilitza, nn
the front between Lejoff and Nove- niiasio, lighting continues with the some desperation.
"ln Galicia the bniilc is raging along
the \vliole front of the River Sun. We have taken an additional ten officers and 500 men.
“South of Przemysl our troops are
advancing nt certain points.
"ln East Prussia the enemy violent-
ly »bonibarded our positions in the operations in the region of Dakalarje- vo. Repeated uttaclrs have all been rcpiilsctl.
“The siicci-ss which wc have won
in South Pilitza, and the result of which was the ri-treat of the encniy on the main front is of the very great- est. importance."

LONDON, Oct. 28.-The lnnit of
human endurance has been reached in the battle in west Fluiiilci's, and tlglit- ing, which slackcned yesterday, camo almost to a complete stop to-day. There may have boon some infantry attacks. These may continue, but reports from points along the Dutch frontier state that artillery' firing- has
t‘hz\iinol tonight bring the same news.
It was this, doubtless, that led to u
report coming front northern France that the Germans had retired, having given up the attempt to reach the Channel ports.
The fact is the two armles have
fought themselves out temporarily, and that the Germans first effort to break through the Allies’ lines has failed. Neither side could continue longer, the men having been without sleep or rest for ten days.
'l`liat battle has been in progress
over ground which at best is it niorass. The Germans succeeded last Satur- day in getting some men across the Yser Canal, anti they put more men across Sunday. But the t'orce facinmgm them was too formidable and new the opposing armies are taking a long- needed rest. There is every evidence, liowcver, that the Germans intend to renew ilie attempt. to force their way to Dunkirk. 'l`hey hring up fresh ine.-n. more animunition and guns, but at the same time are taking precau- tions to prepare a second line oi' ile- fence, should their forward movement again meet with defeat. _,.
A new attempt, it is believed, will
be made further inland for the failure of the first was largely due to the bombardment that the~troops and artillery had to endure from the British and French warships oft' the coast of llclgium.
This cessation of heavy fighting
seems to have extended along the line as far as Arras, and the result of that the Germans, while they have suffered heavy losses and have inflicted similar punishment on the Allies, are farther away from the French coast than at the beginning of the battle.
Small forces left to hold the line
from the Oise to the Meuse while the greater battle was proceeding, have been engaged in night attacks at dlf ferent points, the advantage fsenic- tiuics going to one and sonietinies to the other. It is said that in one of those night attacks near ("rnonne the Germans lost 2,000 men. Along the Mouse the Freiicli are ud\'i\n<‘ing
:~ilowl_v lu-t\\'eett Aprelnont and St lllihlel in an effort to cut. off the Ger- nians who ure holding the latter place.
Thr- Gcriii:tiis` olllrial report issiivd
to-day says the Gernntns were forci-d to witlidriiw in I’oland. This is the first mention from this source of ii battle in that region since the tlernmn advance on \Vitrsa\v was frusirntcd by the arrival of large nunihi-rs ol` fresh Itussian troops. The iiilssitilis claim to he making progress against the Austrians \vho advanced through ‘Galicia and attacked the left wing and on the East Prussian frontier they also say they have repulsed it Ger- man offensive.
The greater part of Africa has been
drawn into the conflict. it is report- ed that Germans have invaded Angola, one of PortngiiI`s African possessions. that there has been fighting on the borders of German and Belgian colo- nies in that continent, and that Brit- ish and Germans have been havinfi more skirmishes. The most serious‘ oifray, however. is the rebellion in the Union of South Africa, although Premier Botha who withheld the rio-_ ing led by Generals De Wet and Boy ers until he himself got into action seems to have indicted a severe de- feat on General Beyers, completely routing his command and taking a number ol' prisoners. The invasion of Angola was not unexpected for Portu- gal has an intention of helping the Allies and in view of a German attack on hor colonies, had sent reinforce-
ments to the gnrrisons.
Portugal, if the report of a German
invasion is true. is the ninth nation to be drawn into the war and there is still danger of others following. Po- land is growing uneasy that her neu- trality may be violated. The mouth of the Scheldt which Germans now that they have Antwerp. would find of much service to them, and the esotern border of the Netherlands where Germans are messing troops

SA('l{\’II.LE, Oct. 24.-Fred Harris,
who was appointed manager of the NJ3. and I’.E.i. Iiailwny at its very inception, was not displaced by the :inialgftmution of this line with the l.t`.R., but with his headquarters in the little station still continues with the help of u clerk to discharge the duties that have fallen to his lot for so many years. For two or three months past the line he controls has bc:-ii undergoing repairs. Six miles of the roadway, beginning with Sack- vlllt-., have been thoroughly recon- .-ti~1irtt~ii. new sleepers and rails, \\-liicli. if not technically now, are as trend as new, being substituted for the :lid stock. The balance of the road il-rmiiiatiitg at Pape Tormentine has l>.;c,-n carefully overhauled and render- nd as available for trafllc as if it were the New York Central itself. ln view of the pro.io<‘teti improvement in the nieans of transportation between Cape 'formcntinc :ind l’.I-3.1., further recon- struction of the N.l3. and P.E.I. Rail- way is doubtless to be expected in the not very distant future. The work so fnr done has proved a very great bless- ing to the men thrown out of work this summer by the closure of the two foundries and similar industrial trou- blcs.
