Mac- Donald. manager of the P. E. is- land Potato Marketing Board. This figure represents a decline of ap- proximately a million bushels in comparison with their July esti- mate. and is about It million bushels lower than their loss pro- duction.

son during the cousin year. "lha potato market the United states for the past overal months has been on a satisfactory level. Potatoes were moved at good prices as soon as they were harvested. and there is at the present time a measure of confidence in future prospects which never existed be- tween January 1958 and June 1954. "Tile potato crop on the island. New Brunswick and Maine, which are the chief producing areas in the East. is still very vulnerable to blight infcctaiion because of weather conditions. Any further crop damage will materially re- duce the prospective yields and could create a very short supply position in the over-all picture.”

OTTAWA. (CP)-Canada's 1964 wheat crop was estimated by the bureau of statistics today at 512.- 984,000 bushels, the lowest for the last four years, but higher than the average for the last 10.

The estimate, first of the 1954 season, placed the crop at about 100,000,000 bushels less than last ,vear's 613,962,000. which was the second highest in history.

But, if realized. it would be well above the 423,000,000-bushel average crop for the last 10 years and the fourth time in history that the crop has exceeded the 500.000,000-bushel mark. Canada had bumper crops in the three years 1951-53 inclusive.

The average yield was esti- mated at 21.1 bushels an acre. down from last year's 24.1. The spring wheat crop was placed a 400,051,000 bushels' down from 507,756,000 a year ago. while winter wheat output was estimated at 22.931000, down from 26,206,000.

Duke Sees Secrel Weapons

By DAVE STOCKHAND Canadian Press Staff Writer

VALCARTIER, Que. (CP)-The punching power of Canada's new Heller anti-tank weapon was pre- viewed to the Duke of Edinburgh Friday inside the fenced - and - guarded grounds of the Canadian armament research and develop- ments establishment here.

The army still isn't giving out any information on the bar.ooka- type weapon, which is for infanlry use. but may do so in a few weeks. The defence research board de- scribes the Heller as being ”nota- ble for its punch and its uncanny accuracy."

The duke, who 3 ant three hours at Carde, a fence -in part of Val-, cartier army camp, sat in nn rm- other secret bit of shooting as wcil.i

He watched the firing of a 17- pounder anti-tank gun using pot nbot ammunition-a Canadian de- velopment described as providing lfalmost phenomenal" penetration against armor-plate. The icchnique isn't new but the Canadian modi- ficetions are.
