Stress Seiuenber Still Dangerous For Potato Grower

September is often the most darigeroiis month for the POI-B30 grower. It is commonly character- ized by showers and heavy night news. factors that favour the de- velopment and spread of late blight. according to the Weekly Potato Bulletin of the science Service Laboratory at Charlottetown. These conditions also favour the inocul- ation of the tubers. At this time of year. when the yield is being made at a rate of up lo twenty- five bushels per acre per week, it is important to keep the vines in a healthy condition.

some growers spray thoroughly and frequently during the early part of the season, but neglect the fields in the important late par? of the season. The spray schedule should be maintained until the crop has advanced to the point when the maximum yield of number one tubers will be secured. Growth should then be terminated by kill- ing down the vines with a chemical vine l(liiPf'.

Insects are very scarce on pota- toes at the presenttime and it will not likely be necessary to apply irisecticirles for the remainder of the growing season.

Consider Position Of Allied Troops Now In Germany

MONTREAL. (CPl- A top army officer said Tuesday Canada will have to sign a new agreement with West Germany re-defining the status of the 27th Brigade as a re- sult of the failure of the French to suport the Europoan Defence Com- munlty.

Brig. W. L. Lawson, one of thc defence department's experts on internationtal law, said in an inter- view the position of all Allied troops in Germany would have to be studied immediately.

Brig. Lawson met reporters be- fore leaving for Europe aboard the Empress of Scotland to open pre- liminary negotiations regarding the new agreement.

He will confer with Canadian. British. United States and German officials in London and Bonn. "The agreement we now have for the troops in Germany was made dependent on EDC." Brig. Lawson said. "Without EDC. there has to be a new arrangement."

"The changes in the existing agreement won't necessarily be considerable. but the whole plan has to be carefully reviewed," he said.

"We are still statlbned in Ger- many under the occupation stai- utes," Brig. Lawson said.
