MeptioD The Review when you write. 



seemingly slight advance means an ac- 

 tual increase in the cost of raw material 

 of 2 cents per dozen and acreage is being 

 signed so slowly that it is questionable in 

 my mind whether many packers in this 

 section will be able to finally secure suf- 

 ficient acreage to even protect the operat- 

 ing expenses of their plants this year. 



' * Outside of the extra profit the farmer 

 or grower is able to realize in growing 

 commercial grain and raising live stock 

 at this time — a most important feature 

 from his standpoinj; — is the great risk 

 that he incurs in producing our commodi- 

 ties if unseasonable or abnormal weather 

 conditions prevail to any extent during 

 the growing period or sudden climatic 

 changes occur, all of which have serious 

 effect on the growing crops of sweet corn, 

 peas and tomatoes, and often the result 

 of his efforts is wiped out completely, 

 whereas Providence has wisely provided 

 commercial grains with a hardiness suf- 

 ficient to successfully withstand these un- 

 certain and frequent conditionq^ 



"This one phase of the matter has a 

 strong infiuence over the farmer, and he 

 reasons that it is time enough for him to 

 go back to producing for the canning fac- 

 tories when other conditions are much 

 worse than they are today or will be this 

 season. The farmer is a well posted man 

 and it does not take him long to figure 

 out the prospective results from season 

 to season with the amount of information 

 which he has at hand, and so far as I am 

 concerned I can see but one thing ahead 

 of us and that is higher prices on staple 

 canned goods, at least for the coming 

 season. ' '

attention in Europe, and which is liable 

 to be introduced into the United States at 

 any time. It affects the tubers, forming 

 large, rough, unsightly warts, and, in se- 

 vere attacks, completely destroys the 

 crop. Once the fungus gets into the 

 soil, it is impossible to grow a crop of 

 potatoes on the land for several years. 



The fungus which causes this disease 

 was discovered in 1896 in potatoes grown 

 in Hungary. It is now prevalent in 

 many places in England and there is 

 great danger that it may spread to Ire- 

 land. It is also found in Germany and 

 some other European countries. It has 

 been carried to Newfoundland, but has-
