TAMI! IIDUOBD

_ (Oonsdbn Prue) WASI-IINOIOIL. D. C... Aug, 2,- Th! tariff on flanged was reduced by the Sunnis ﬁnance Committee to-

lower house. Canada exported to the United States during the last tlscsl year potatoes to the value of $1,140.- 731 and the year before $4,593,441. Canada imported from the United States last year potatoes to the value of $539,803 and the year before $798.- 316. The Canadian tsrlff on potat- oes is reclprocstlve. It 1cm potatoes in free from countries which lets our product in free and charges 35 cents per cart. against the United States since it raises a tariff against Canad- ian potatoes. ' The understanding here is that the new impast on Canadian potatoes will apply both to potatoes meant for seed and those to be used for eating. In the past the seed potatoes went int-o the United States free. The at- titude taken by growers who op- peared before the congressional com- mittee was that if. was not feasible to attempt to discriminsta between the ; two classes.‘ l If such‘ is the final action of Con- gress it will hurt the Maritime Pro- vinces which ship s. great deal of seed potatoes across the border. The fact that Canada is getting an ever increasing share of the West Indies market for seed potatoes, even in Cuba. probably had to do with the determination of the United States growers so that imports from Canada should be hampered as much as pos- eible. The Canadian tuber is super- ior for seed purposes because of the greater vitality of the northern grown potato and is favored by Cuban growers.
