island potatoes was 36 per cent com pared with one per cent in on tario and that as much as g5 per cent of the eastern crop was grown from certified seed a marked increase over the local crop it was reported 50c bag difference in its protest dufferin county council declared that the offer ing of local grown inferior stock in competition to fully inspected prince edward island potatoes was the main factor which made for an annual discount on on tario potatoes amounting to as much as 50 cents per bag in some years council believes that a rigid check interprovineially would eliminate this distressing factor caused it was thought through an ability of truckers to purchase the inferior stock for less and to offer this for sale with virtually no supervision from provincial authorities under the authority of the natural products marketing act a federal law designated areas in ontario were set up to inspect all localgrown potatoes in 1935 this act was later ruled uncon stitutional by the privy council which ruled that the dominion government had no jurisdiction in imposing any inspection in any province wherein was grown and marketed any such crop on which an inspection might be contemplated raised at a conference held at the department of agriculture on january 4 1938 the report stated that at the present time there was a strong feeling among growers dealers distri butors and consumers for en forced inspection of ontario potatoes interviews with wholesale dealers and consum ers brought to light the fact that it was not only the inferior grading of ontario potatoes but poor cooking quality which forced the local crop to take an annual discount this quality is the direct result of diseased and frost damaged tubers which factor is partially responsible for the low one per cent field inspec tion of the ontario crop it is claimed use of certified seed also commands an important fact in the growing of high quality stock mr cassin pointed out plants which are frost bitten be fore dug especially if the plant is immature result in the pro duction of potatoes which turn dark when cooked and with cooking quality almost destroy ed expect improved crop in the past spring under the supervision of competent inspec tors meetings were held in many potato growing areas in ontario to inspect samples of the seed to be sown this year these meet ings showed an increase in on tario potato growers who inten ded to sow their crop with certi fied seed the net result this fall will be a higher quality crop providing it is harvested before the plants are frost bitten it is asserted inspectors during the past season have placed more than 100 detentions on ontario pota to growers and from this total 11 have been convicted said the report it is almost impossible with so many truckers and farmers hauling their crop to administer any 100 per cent in spection our inspectors besides handling this inspection must supervise as far as possible the importation of all fruits and vegetables as well as local grown crops i have personally tried to find various maikets for dufferin grown potatoes from time to time said mr cassin at different times i have contacted buyers who have spoken for large shipments of the ontario stock after being convinced that the stock was as good as the im ported grades sample ship ments although high in out ward grading showed poor quality with the result the ship ment was immediately refused rustic arch at musselmans lake old boys trophy goes to newmarket eighteen rinks from toronto and district entered the mens tournament held by the
