BANNER CRANBERRY (Continued from Page l) Park in hundreds and it was no- thing unusual to see from 50 to 60 cars parked in the arca before 9 o'clock with their occupants all engaged in picking cranberries. Scores of pickers left the area each clay with a bushel of cranberries each. Rustico Island. a part of the Park area. contained 4O acres of cranberry bog from which huge quantities of cranberries were re- moved. Superior Quality Mr. R. C. Parent. superintendent of the Dominion Experimental Farm, Charlottetown, said Island cranberries were not exceeded in flavour or keeping qualities by those grown in any other section of Eastern Canada. Island cran- berry growers could depend on a frost-proof growing and develop- ing season of 150 days which was a longer period of safety than was offered the growers of New Bruns- wick. ' Mr. Parent said it. would be s comparatively easy matter to in- crease the Island's cranberry pro- duction ten fold. There were plenty of cranberry "bogs" awaiting a little scientific attention. Those places, now producing nothing, could be made into productive and profitable areas. "Turfing" and the application of three or four inches of send to choke out the weeds were sll that were necessary. The Experimental Farm has several productive areas. Mr. Parent said.' One is at the Illustration Station at Blooming Point: another is at Murray Harbour. and a third at East Point. Mr. Gordon Warren is in charge of all cranberry ex- periment for the Farm. The present wholesale price for cranberries is 20 cents a pound. Toe late To Claslfy T0 LET-GROUND FLOOR OF- ficcs, three rotma, immediate possession, reasonable rent. Ne. 5 Spring Street. Apply P.L.

Dewey's speech prepared for Cleveland tonight commented on 'I‘ruman‘s earlier west-coast re- mark that he liked "old Joe" but that Stalin is "a prisoner of the Politburo." "Without partisanship, on s. subject that is above partisanship, I am compelled to say to you that this problem of securing the peace must be handled better than it has been handled in the past." Dewey said. ."Of course, there is no easy answer. The road of easy answers is the road to disaster. But of one thing we can be sure; we shall not achieve peace by conducting these desperately important mat- ters on a happy-thought basis or by jovially remarking that we like good old Joe." Meanwhile, Henry Wallace. wind- ing up his campaign for the pres- idency as leader of his new Pto- grsssive Party. calmly told a New York audience that he had "stop- ped the cold war in its tracks." Wallace solemnly told a scream- ing audience of close to 20,000 who had paid as high as $3.60 to hear him, that "there shall be no war." Wallace told his audience that the two old parties, spirituatly one and with no major differences in their policies, ultimately would bs forced to unite against the Pro- gressives. The Republicans and Democrats. he said, were "fighting sham po- litical battles" actuated only by the desire of the one to retain power and the other to attain it. Truman speaks in Madison Square Gsrden- here tomorrow night and will spend 4B hours in the metropolitan area before head- ing west to his independence, Mo, home for the wind-up. Dewey will follow in the Garden next Saturday night. Wallace will spend the rest of the week in and about metropolitan New York. LIBERAL LEADER Rf. Hon. Louis S. Sf. Laurent Specks TONIGHT CBA 8:45 RM. British Exchange Control Obstacle To ArgentinaSeedMarket OTTAWA, Oct. 27- British ex- change control regulations, not Canada's, are the obstacles stand- ing in the way of all Maritime seed potato producers selling into the large available market in Argentina and receiving payment in sterling, instead of U. S. or Canadian dol- lars, the foreign exchange control board declared here today. "If Argentina can make arrange- ments with the British authorities for the transfer to Canada of ster- ling funds to pay for these seed potatoes, we will gladly accept the sterling," board officials stated. "Otherwise payment would have to be made in dollars as Argentina is in the hard-money area, not the sterling area. A precise situation exists in regard to other Canadian basic producers wishing to ship to South American countries." Officials emphasized that this was a matter which came entirely under the British foreign exchange control regulations. “These British foreign exchange control regula- tions do not permit sterling to be transferred freely from one country to another," board officials stated. Under these regulations. special permission must be obtained from the British authorities, where a country such as Argentina and oth- er South American countries are in the dollar nrcn and want to pay their imports in sterling rather than in dollars. The evident reason for this Bri- tish exchange control is that a dol- lar country would use the sterling to buy goods in Britain or any other sterling country, and these countries are short of U. S. dollars and want them. "Canada is not accumulating sterling, but using it for purchases weldmalre from Britain," officials Sll . N. Y.

Apples p HALIFAX, Oct. 2'7 - (C?) —‘ While Nova Scotla apple growers look for markets for this years 600.000-barrel crop. Halifax City Home is preparing to cease pur- chase of N. S. apples because they are "not a good buy" and are often sold under "dishonest pre- fences." A. E. Ettinger. superintendent of the City Home. today criticized the marketing of Nova Scotla- grown apples and said drastic re- form of the Apple Marketing Board was necessary. l-le said the home would buy British Columbia apples this year for its Christmas celebration. "When we buy B. C. apples we know what we are getting from the label. We know just how many apples there are in the box. But when we buy Nova Scotia apples we don't know whether we will get 50 apples or 500 apples. Some of them are large, some of them are small and some of them are just plain uneatable." Mr. Ettlnger said last. night five barrels of Nova Scotia. apples, at $7.00 a barrel, had a few layers of top-grade apples sprinkled at the top and bottom of the barrels but the rest were full of "culls and deadfalls." He said he got only one barrel of good apples. Egg Receipts Higher Than For Last Year Egg production continues to de- crease but receipts are still eleven percent greater than for the same period last year reports Mr. F. M. Nash, supervising poultry Prolific" inspector. Quality of product is good and demand is strong. De- mand for Grade l3 eggs is greater than the supply’. this condition probably due to cheapness as com- pgfgd to the price of Crude A large. The demand for the product remains strong st Maritime and Newfoundland points and the bulk of shipments are being sold in these centres. Although nuylns prices have been reduced here. prices at other Maritime points are holding steady and many station operators are making shipment! direct to these points.

The Government was reported considering ordering troops to un- load the ships. The blockade of dookers was called by the Communist-led Confederation Generals du Trav- ail to support the 23-day-old coal strike which shut off 3.000.000 tons of coal from France's own mines. The Confederation said it also would try to stop imports by rail. The In'erior Ministry said 13.- 508 miners reported for work to- day in the Lorraine field. second largest.
