KER
Importation of Potatoes From Europe Is Prohibited
by Ordermin-Council---lard to Eradicate.
Q .despatch from Ottawa says ;
An Order -in -Council has been pass-
ed amending those sections of the
Destructive Insect and Pest Act,
which deals with the potato can-
ker, by the substitution of a clause .
prohibiting the importation of all
potatoes from Europe in addition
to Newfoundland and other points
mentioned.
Potato canker is avirulent fun-
gus disease which has done tre-
• mendous destruoticn in Europe our-
ing some years past. Until last
year importation of potatoes from
Great Britain and Ireland and
'other European points had not beer
heavy either to this country or th
United States, but the failure of the
crop last year and the high prices
led to heavy importation.
As the potato. canker is a disease
which not only absolutely destroys
the tubers, but is very hard to era-
dicate," and will remain in the soil
for seven or eight years, the most
strenuous precautions are 'justified.
In Great Britain a great deal of
very costly work is being under-
taken in regard to this pest. The
United States have recently taken
action by passing an .Rot prohibit-
ing the importation of potatoes
from Great Britain and Ireland and
everal countries in continental
Europe and Australia.
