In mid-July, when growth: was retarded in dusty. fields, New Brunswick farmers faced a pos- sibility of a fall disaster before rains came. There was doubt whether they would be able to meet the first seed export re- quirements. Mr. Barrett says the prospects are for a sufficient

Labor Party Agenda

LONDON (AP) — The Labor parts. published the _agenda ‘Thursday night for its annual

conference ?t Blackpool Sept. 27-Oct. 1, and it promised ,trou- ble for Frime Minister Wilson's government.

A_ rebellious segment of the party slipped into the program at the last moment resolutions raising the subject of immigra- tion controls. This was a direct attack on Wilson's recently an- nounced ,olicy of restricting the flow of Commonwealth citizens —mostly colored—to the United Kingdom.

The move is certain to~pro-
