POTATOES MOVED

move the balance of t.h:~ supplies in the next. two months.

Mr. MacDonald notes that since the selling agency took over. the marketing of domestic seed and table-stock Island potatoes have been commanding a premium of from 10 to 15 cents a bushel on the Quebec and Ontario markets and this fact would indicate that such a premium should continue to be the general rule rather than the exceptiomas has been the case some times in the past.

Producers are now and have been receiving 55 cents a . bushel since the first of April and there is still considerable pressure to move supplies as soon as possible, Mr. MacDonald states. However the Province must hold back a portion of its crop to supply mark- eting requirements for May and June. This year will be no excep- tion.

In an endeavour to allocate carly shipments among all produc- era, the Board ordered several weeks ago that individual car shipments should be loaded by at least three different producers. This action. Mr. MacDonald says, should have some effect. in enab- ling all producers to make ship- ments in the regular manner and avoid having some farmers sprout all their remaining supplies while others would not. have to do so.

The Potato Board also desires that all producers in the Province should plant only cereincd or foundation st-ed. supplies of good seed are available to all and the market return whether for seed or for tableetock is the same. For this season, tabiestock producers are advised to market whatever potato:-s they have and obtain a new supply of good seed for PIE!“- ing purposes. Such action will be good insurance against any dan- ger of disease.

In March all Island dealers were advised that until further noti- fied, no export sales of seed pota- toes from this year‘: crop will br- sanctioned unless the price offered shall first be approved by the P0- tato Board. An.V GMICT WU“ 09”‘ tatoea for delivery from the (Continued on page 5. C01 2)

Warpianes hit heavily at the eastern fringcs around the fort where the Qommunlst-led Viet-

The rebels need the hill as a take-off base for a direct. stab into the heart of the fortress and to link tip with troops which might be able to brcak through from the northwest. corncr in the next gen- eral assault.

A French aimy iicadqiiartcrs spokesman said a new massive gen- crni attack could come at any moment. If It falls. the French foresee the attack possibly shifting to the Red River delta around lianoi. That area is still the key to an over-nil victory in the war.
