The Clinton News Record, 1912-09-26, Page 7OF POTATO CANKER Importation of Potatoes From Europe Is Prohibited by Order=inCouncil--liaird to Eradicate. A despatch from Ottawa says : An Order -in -Council has been pass- ed amending those -eections 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 a virulent fun- gus disease which has clone tre- mendeus destruetion in Europe ,dur- ing some years past. Until last year importation of potatoes from Great Britain and Ireland and other European points had not been heavy either to this country or the 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 soi for seven •or eight years, the most strenuousprecautions are juetified. In Great Britain a great deal of very costly work is being under- taken in regard to, this pest. The limited States have recently taken action by passing an Act prohibit-. ing the importation of potatoes frem Great Britain and Ireland and several countries in Continental Europe and Australia.

Bulletin Issued by the Department of Trade and Commerce,. The cold wet weather which pre - 'veiled throughout Canada during August delayed ripening and the harvest is everywhere later than usual; but no serious frosts have as yet been reported. All erop,s show an imprOvenient since the end of July, excepting peas, beans and corn. The average condition of spring wheat is 84.57 p.c. of the standard, or full „crop, which is re- presented by 100; rye is 84.14, barley 87.29, oats 88.15, . mixed grains 86.57 and flax 87.84. These figures are higher than those of a month prior by about 1 p.c. for wheat, rye and flax, siker 5 p.c. for .barley, mixed grams and buck- wheat and 7 p.c. for oats. On the whole they compare_ not unfavor- ably with the figures at the corres- ponding date of last year, oats, barley, ',rye, buckwheat and mixed grains being in fact higher, while spring wheat is about two ,points lower. Peas are 74 against 76 last month and 72 last year; beans are 76.71 against 79.27 last month and 80.92 last year. Corn for husking is 69.66 and for fodder 76, compared with 70.37 and 73.19 last month and with 81.46 and 86.55 for last year. Boot crops and pasture show an excellent condition, the figures ranging from 86.64 for sugar beets to 92.10 for potatoes and 91.79 for pasture. From the reports furnished by correspondents it is calculated that of the areas sown in Canada 3 p.c. spring wheat, 2.3 p.c. oats; 2.1 p.c. barley and 3.8 p.c. flax will, from various tames, such as hail, flood, pests, etc., be entirely unproduc- tive, and the following preliminary estimates of yield are therefore based upon the areas to be harvest- ed. Of spring wheat the average yield per acre for Canada is provi- sionally placed at 21.08 bushels, which upon a harvested area of 8,977,400 acres makes the total yield of spring wheat to be 189,256,000 bushels. This quantity added to the estimate of 18,773,300 bushels of fall wheat, gives the wheat total as 206,029,300 bushels, compared With the final estimItte for 1911 of 215,- 851,000 bushels. The yield per acre in 1911 was 22.19 bushels for fall and 20.63 bushels for spring wheat. The rye estimate is 3,138,000 bush- els for 148,700 acres, a yield per acre of 21.09 bushels compared with 2,694,400 bushels from 142,571 acres last year, a yield per were of 18.89 bushels. Barley, with a yield per acre of 32.86 bushels, gives a total yield of 46,497,000 bushels from the harvest- ed acreage of 1,4152200, the relative yield last year being 28.94 bushels per acre. , Oats yield 40.90 bushels per acre, as compared with 31.76 bushels last year, giving a total yield of 376,- 943,000 bushels upon a harvested area of 9,216,900 acres, the final fig- ures of 1911 being 348,187,600 bush- els from 9,212,92n acres. • Flaxsee.d tipon a greatly increas- ed acreage of. 1,677,800 acres (al- lowing for deduction of non-produc- tive areas) is expected to yield 23,- 145,000 bushels, or at the rate of 13.74 bushels per acre, figures which compare with a total of 7,867,000 bushels from a productive area of only e332,622 acres last year when, it will be recalled, so large a proportion of the area sown in the Northwest provinces was not har- vested in consequence of the late and stormy season. For the three Northwest previnces the total yield of spring and fall wheat is esti- mated at 189,989,000, bpahels as • compared with 394,083,000 bushels in 191 1 ; of oats the estimated yield is 230,387,000 bushels compared with 232,819,000 bushels and of bar- ley 29,189,000 bushels compared with 24,043,000 bushels. The general condition of live stock is very satieactory, being ex- pressed in percentage% of a stan- dard of 100 representing, a healthy and thrifty state, as 94,66 p.c„ horses, 94.00 p.c., milch cows, 96 p.c, other cattle, 93.72 p.c, sheep, and Swine, 94.81 D.C.
