Ottawa Departmental Official To Survey Possible New Outlet For Maritime Pro-

duct

OTTAWA, May 9--(CP)\. Potentiallties of a new market for Canadian seed potatoes will be surveyed when H. S. Arkell of Ottawa leaves here next week for Argentina, A. M. Show, director of marketing in the Agriculture Department, announced over the week-end.

Argentina appeared as a. new factor in the market last year when about 80,000 barrels of seed potatoes were shipped from the Maritlmes. Previous exports to that country were negligible.

To ascertain whether s. perman- ent new outlet has been afforded Mr. Arkell will survey the situ-

department.

While chiefly concerned with potatoes, he will examine agri- cultural methods used in South America in connection with wheat and livestock, products in which Argentine is a competitor of Can- ada in world markets.

During the several months of his survey Mr. Arkell may also visit the West Indies and Cuba. which are large pin-Chasers of seed potatoes from Canada.

Reports from Argentina were that. the potato crop there had almost run out a year ago. One theory is that potatoes do not propagate well in the Argentine and it will be necessary for the Jarmers there to import. new stock periodically. _

It has been established that potatoes exhibit. that peculiarity in the countries about’ the Carib- been Sea. but opinion oif experts in the department is. divided with respect to countries in the south- ern temperate zone. It will be Mr. Arkelvs duty to report on that question.

As with other countries where Canada has a market for the commodity, certified seed potatoes enter Argentina duty free.

An official order banned from, Italy and its possessions all but» three British newspapers and re-i called all Italian correspondents. from London.

Premier Mussolini issued the, order Saturday because of “the attitude of nearly all the British Press against Italy and Italy's armed forces."

The order amounts to a semi- official press boycott of the coro- nation Wednesday. Photographsof i the Coronation are banned and‘ Italian newspapers will print only terse factual information dis- trlbuted by the semi-official Stefani news agency.

The Daily Mail, Observer, and Evening News. all of Londomwere the three excepted from the ban.

Government circles said no act- ion would be taken against Brit- ish correspondents. who will be permitted to remain in Rome. They added the ban would last as long as the attitude of the British press remains “bad.”

Count Dino Grandi, Italian Am- bassador inIondon, is expected to attend the Coronation, although this may also be cancelled.

Government officials explained the order was directed against the British Press and not against the Government or Royal Family.

$2,500 Fire At St. Peter's

Fire caused at least $2,500 dam- age when the house and bam- owned by Sheriiff Milton Waye about one mile from St. Peter's Village was dutroyed Saturday afternoon.

Both Mr. and lvlrs. Ways were at the time and a 18-year-old son was the only occupant. He had ignited the kitchen stove and a few min- utes later flames were noticed on the roof. Efforts of about 40 vol- unteer fire fighters from the vill- age were hampered by lack of wator and a strong wind led the fire to a near bam.

Only a smal amount of furni- ture was saved from the house while all livestock and farm im- plen-"its were saved from the serif/l quantity of hay and other feed, however, was destroyed.
