FARMERS FEAR DAMAGE FRRM
LATE BLIGHF
Prince Edward Island farmers were undecided over the week end as to what type weather would this‘ week. Harvesting was well under way with a great deal of the grain either cut or very nearly ripe. In most cases growth was so for advanced rain would not help. on the other hand the potato crop was in urgent need of moisture for speedy development. But——and here was the problem»-late blight was ap- pearing ln alarming quantities in many section; and damp weather is most suitable to the growth of the destructive spores. Consequent- ly farmers did know whether the rain would result in the rapid destruction of their grouing tuber crops or uhctlier it would auist in the development It would all depend on conditions following rain. it was pointed out. If clear
dry weather followed them probably would be little damage‘ from blight. On the other mind.
damp. warm and cloudy weal-her would almost certainly result. in the rapid wilting of tops from the ravages of late blight. A grtlsscr hopper ploguo. beliovcd greater in many areas than large numbers of farmers are aware of was making inroads on fields of liiandlnii gliiin. it was reported The insects‘ perched on the heads of grain. csnccallv outs. nntl clip- ped off the mains.

Last fall it was recalled. the potato crop in this Province was hard hit by late blight. Damage was caused in two ways, by early destruction of tops thus curtailing the yield and by rotting of tubers.

HISTORICAL SUMMARY
The F‘uehrer's letter, issued after 3- dill’ 9! wlltmued mobilization of they Ge.man Army, was an ms. torlcal summazy of recent French-‘ German relations and of the pre- sent Gernlan-Polisll crisis.
I-lltle said he saw "no way of Dersua ing Poland to accept a peaceful solution."
Earlier, wiiile Germany's general mooilizalioii proceeded and ration Cflfdfi were distributed to the peg- plo. Hitler was disclosed to have called together several hundred of the 800 Reiclistag members in the big new chniloellery and spoken to them on “the seriousness of the hour."
Hitler said he shared “misgiv- Jms‘ expluessetkby--Dahdfer in his letter to the Fuehrer over another war. and declared that he had hoped to prevent such an eventual- ity by attempting to “clear away" all possible inflammable material between the two countries which might "disturb the French people."
He reasserted that no questions separated the French and German People since the sour Terzitory was returned to the Reich in 193-5,
Wants Free Hand
The entire letter was a plea for France to stay out of Germany's quarrel with Poland. _ That the Grrman Chanceilor was irritated by Premier Daladlers s.aiemont was_bl'ougllt out by a propaganda ministry official who explained why the Fuehrerxs mes- sage was being made public, Pre- mlcr Dalndicr declared the Fuehrer had refused the French suggestion that German and Poland negotiate directly.
"In a declaration which the French Premier Dafedier gave to
e press on Sunday." the Propa- ganda Ministry Official said "he l‘elel'rr'l to an exchiilige of’ he had with the Fliclirer. In this declaration. Monsieur Daladier made zemarks concerning the con. tents of ill!‘ lcticrs and drew con- clusions without giving the letters themselves.

The text of Premier Dnladicr‘s letter to fine Fllelll'91‘ was lo- lcused to the German press simultaneously.
