A considerable amount of Prince Edward 18151111 Potatoes were in New York storage and i; was doubtful if there would be a market for these in the Southern slates,

It would be difficult for members to conceive the value to Prince Ed- ward Island growers of the ra'sing of the embargo by the United King- dom, particularly if the price would net. the growers 25 or 30 cents a bushel. Mr. Myers continued. He did not blame the British for trying to avoid the Colorado beetle, but it was evident they misunderstood the case. That particular parasite did not follow the potato in cargo_

Canada had an embargo against importations of British potatoes. and rightly so, he said. No Canad- ian farmer would consent to its re- moval by reason of the fact that the ban was. due to infestation in Brit- ish potatoes by black wart, or po- tato canker. Admission of these po- tatoes into Canada would result in lmpositon of an embargo on Can- adian potatoes exported to the United States.

A suggestion that imports from Britain into Canada be allowed, pzzx-idcd that these were accompan. ied by a certificate from the Board certifying shipments free from wart, was urged by Peter Venlot. (Lib, Gloucester).

The Minister of Agriculture sold ths was impossible because test-s had shown the wart was carried no; only on the potato but in soil clinging to ‘them. It was impossible to guarantee the absence of the
