many outstanding addresses by individuals well versed in all phases of the industry. FROM EVERY PROVINCE Delegates were present from every province, with several U. S. experts also on hand. he said. Among the prominent American Agricuiturists attending were:

MB. MACDONALD Dr. Ora Smith of Cornell

Uni- versity. and Mr. Al Mercker. Washington, D.C., Mr. Merker

m ENGAGEMENTS

ls secretary of the American National Potato Council.

Features of the Guelph meet- tng noted by the Island delegate included a tour of the Niagara fruit bolt during which the del- egates were entertained by the Ontario Peach Growers and Processors, and a banquet at the College tendered the dele- gates by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture.

All . . . .. Guelph conference had been im- pressed with the great industrial expansion evident in the prov- ince ol Ontario. Mr. MacDonald declared. Also apparent to far- men from other provinces was the great progress made by the agricultural producers of Out- ario la organising themselves in such a manner as to make use of every available opportunity in both the production and mar- keting fields.

"This may be part of' the reason for that Province's year- ly increase in population of I50.- Otll." Mr. MacDonald said. PIJCI r..'svsi.s

Discus ng present potato prices had been low since the early crop started to arrive on the market from Florida last January. These low prices mov- ed northward as successive new crops were harvested he noted. affecting finally the early pro-

mud displaced by the fill. IKIGIIT, heavy traffic continues across the-bridge as indicated

As a precautionary measure. construction engineers yesterday brought in a "clam shell" which will be used to remove large quantities of mud which is dis- placed by the fill in the Hills- boro Bridge approach and could conceivably threaten the piers of the bridge.

The mud which at this point is 21 feet deep is in a semi-fluid state and the sideways pressure on the first pier. it was felt. could cause damage. The piers which consist of clusters of wood- en piling encased in cement have been in place for more than a half-century.

in spite of rumors to the con- trary. traffic continued across the bridge all day yesterday and construction officials said they could not forsee any interrupt- ion as a result of the work being carried out.

it is pointed out that when the approach gets beyond the first pier. the existing danger of side- ways pressure will not be pre- sent since the causeway takes a decided swing and will be more than 100 feet away from the sec- ond pier and M0 feet away from the remaining piers.

It is understood that the river bottom is covered with a very thick layer of mud most of tlie way across. Engineers state that in certain areas the mud reaches a depth of 50 feet.

The placing of fill. which was

ducing areas in this country.

"The early crop in Ontario was later than usual this year." Mr. MacDonald asserted. add- ing that prices to producers in that province were at present "very low-as low as one cent I pound and even less."

Mr. MacDonald. who visited many of the important potato producing areas in Canada and the U.S. following the close of the Guelph meeting, declared that Maine growers this year ex. pected to harvest a better than average crop of good quality. Last year Maine growers had to contend with extensive field frost damage Mr. MacDonald said. but were able to secure a diver- sion pr am which took care of aroun 30.000 carloads. about half of their loss crop. This year he had been told that Maine pro-

,” ducers were going to request a

similar diversion MacDonald added.

The manager of the Produc- er's Co-op concluded his re- marks on the potato situation by saying that the feeling through- out the industry was that. in spite of the apparent over-all surplus in potato production. "the very low price levels prevailing this summer might I ow improve- ment sfter the late crop has gone

Take Precautionary Measures In Bridge Construction

discontinued yesterday forenoon, was resumed again in the after- noon but workmen were careful to place the fill on the east side of the approach until dredging operations clear the mud im- mediately in front oi the struc- ture.

"it would be a queer contract in which some snag did not oc- cur." said a construction man yesterday as he viewed operat- ions.
