While most sections of the Prov- inoe had 8. fairly adequate sung}; of moisture following last w eind's rain the Rose Valley area was still too dry for growing crops to survive, it was learned last niigihut. Total rainfall recorded at the Rose Valley Illustmtlori Stat- ion for the two months, June and July, was tltree-quarters of an inch, it was anrwuinced at the field day held at the RoseV,7a.lle-y station yesterday.

Generally speaking crops in the Province at the moment were looking good, Dr. J. A. Clark, sup- erintendent of the Charlottetown Experimental Station said last night. He had just returned from attending the field day at Rose Valley. The hay crop throughout the Province was almost entirely harvested and had been much bet- ter t1ha'n at first anticipated. In some sections it was at least equal to last years crop a/nd had been in betlter condition. In July 1938 frequent rains had made har- vestirig the ha crap is difficult procedure. Gca n, root and potato crops were all coming alctng ex- cellently, Dr. Clark said. The gmin was an excellent color and was filling well.

Commenting on the field day at Rose Valley Dr. Clark said it was “one of the best. we ever had." Dr. Clark spoke on soil erosion amd described the [rope method of mixing Bordeaux Mixture for use in combatting late blight of potatoes.

Mr. gee McLare'n. of theC'har- 'i!ixpe-rlmerni.a.l Station stair described varletv tests he was carrying on at Rose Valley.

A poultry demonstration, includ- ing egg grading was conducted by Mr. A. F. Darnell of the egg in- spection staff at Charlottetown. Soil deficiencies were dealt with by Mr. Norman Black. formerly at- tached to the staff of the Chat- lottetown Experimental Farm and now assisting Mr. E. L. Ea.-ton for the summer months.

Atbctiiderice at the field day yes- terday was in the vicinity of 60, it was said.

Yugoslav Prer-n—ier To Tell

Italian Leaders

Country Will

Maintain “Strict: Neutrality.”

BELGRADE, Aug. 9—(AP)—It was

learned on the

highest authority tonight that demands attributed to Italy and Germany for Yugosiavia’s “benevolent" neutrality in case of war have been refused by the Belgrade Govern-

ment.

Premier Drngisha Cvetkovieh will fly to Italy tomor- row aboard zi Yugoslav army bombei'_ these sources said, to tell Italian leaders flatly that Yugoslavia is determined to maintain strict neutrality—and with arms if necessary.

Officially it was said he wished to visit members of

the Yugoslav youth organization vacationing

in Italy.

(The Yugoslav Legation in Rome declared it knew noth- ing of the Premier’s plans for a visit.)

It was reliably reported,

however, that he would talk

to the Italian Foreign Minister, Count Galeazzo Cinno or

possibly to Premier Mussolin

It was said that the asserted German and Itallandemandsnmde, "unofficially", called on Yugo- slavia to promise to place her railroads at the disposal of the afliplsirtcaseofa Europeanccnp

ct.

All Yugoslavia's war materials and food stuffs would be at Ger- !I“\.n-Italian disposal and they would have the right to cross her territory to Romania or Bulgaria, if the axis demands were granted, it was said.

ce Paul, senior Regent of Yugoslavia, was said to have ex- plained the Axis demands to the British and French Governments during his recent trip to London and Paris.
