This was reliably reported but Hlrne Minister St. Laurent. who has the final say. indicated clear- ly that his mind is not made up. In any there will not be a snap dissolution of Parliament while members are home on Easter holidays. Parliament will reconvene April 25 as scheduled and there will be a. party caucus. probably April 27. The Prime Minister said he and his colleagues would be “very in- terested" then to hear the news brought back by the Liberal mem- bers from their hearse constituen- cies. He said choice of an election date would reflect majority opinion of his party. If the bulk of opinion presented at that caucus is for a spring elec- tion it. would therefore seem likely ‘dissolution of Parliament might follow within a. week or two. It would have to be quick if the elec- tion. is to be in June on‘ early July.

He attribmed this ach- ievement to the stringent meas- ures adopted a few years ago in eradicating this menace. Mr. Peppin also snmunced that far less fusarlum storage rot was found this year. due to more care- ful handling during harvesting. and perhaps to more general use of top-killing chemicals a week or so prior to harvesting. "1 would again like to insist. on the ahsol- utc necessity of top killing every green field as of October i." he said. He warned that "under no eon- siderstlon will used a; dirty bags Report, i949". All certified seed must. from now on be packed in brand new bags. . He also warned growers against importing any seed from outside sources. "The grade," he added. "must be improved all along the line if we are to hold our markets against what is new the keenest competition." U. S.
