Sidce they became ini portant after harvest it 'is. natural to assume that the rough handling of potatoes during this period may be followed by serious consequences, By mechanical injuries are meant _ cuts, bruises, shrinking, and cracks. Cuts are usually the most conspicu- 'ous and, while bruises and cracks "tubers. are known to be more serious, it should be clearly understood that all injuries which do not heal quick- ly may lead to considerable loss and inconventence, Where healing takes place without delay, the offending organisms are shut out and the tub- ers, thus protected, may remain frée from rot. On the other hand conditions may be more favourable for the. organisms than for the heal- ing process so that rot sets in, the amount of injury depending upon the temperature and ventilation con- ditions of the storage house. Observations made at the Domin- "ion Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Charlottetown, demonstrated con- vincingly that potatoes produced on wet land develop a tender skin and are more subject to :injury when dug than those produced in dry soil Potatoes produced under such. con- ditions, therefore, should be hand- While it is true led very carefully. that potatoes grown in dry soil have comparatively tough: skins, and for this reason are less liable to injury, nevertheless, they are very often injured through the fact this type of soil is not carried over the dig- ger. 'To compensate this disadvant- age, when elevator diggers are used, sufficient soil should be taken, up to prevent the tubers. coming into direct contact with the moving parts | 9" of the machine, Authorities. agree that diggers should be at least 24 inches wide and the spade operated deep enough to avoid cutting the not only the digger chain, but also all hard and solid parts of the ma: chine. with which potatoes may come | in contact. While the digger is the offender in causing mechanical in- juries, it is ackowledgea also that considerable damage is inflicted when the tubers are picked and hauled to the cellar, . It has been determined experimentally that tub- ers are injured but very slightly when poured from a basket into a sack from a height of 12 inches; * when poured from a height of 30 . ment -- only windows. > ~ the s! tandpofnt of, visibility, fnches, however, injury by cracking and bruising is very severe. Pota- toes, therefore, should be rolled or poured carefully from baskets into the bags. Further precautions against such injuries are as follows: Leave the potatoes exposed to the sun and the air for two or three hours; do not drop the filled sacks; on the floor of the barn or cellar; - pad the picking baskets with at least one layer of burlap. == E xperimental Farms Note.

Two acquaintances meet. They ask each.other, "How do you do?' One says, 'I have a cold." The other says, "I had a rash yester: day; I thought it might be something gerious but it's all right now." "How is your wife?' Oh, she is quite well. Her eyes trouble her a little, but it does not seem of importance. How is your son?" "Pretty well. He got a cramp in swimming," but you know dow boys. are' That can go on indefiniiely. Almost any conversation includes something like it. Now, of course, physical comfort is a wonderful thing. But how much more there {8 to a human being than merely that! Why does not a man recognize his mental, emotional and spiritual sta.es as well? "My faith is somewhat weak today." "Her con- centration has not been up to nor- mal." "A cinder of anger is disturb- ing his emotional outlook." Perhaps it we increased our aware- ness of these non-physical failings, we could keep them under better contro', and fincidentally, add a, new noe of variety to somewhat worn conversa- tional themes.

"While most of us have been rid. ding some hobby of 'Isms,' the auto. mobile industry has stuck to its busi. ness," he said. "And if youn stick to it, business will get on regardless of the various isms that may be floating around, And incidentally, I think your election has cleared: the air up here for some of the {sms that you have heard." CANADIAN OUTLOOK In a review of Canadian conditions, he sald he believed the incoming Lib- eral admnistration "will neither up- set busness confldence nor very much affect existing trends over the period immediately ahead." Vigorous and sustained natural recovery marked the closing months of the Conservative administration and Canadian business is moving steadily ahead 'with pur. chasng power the best in four or five years in many agricultural sections." Sanctions against 'Italy should not hinder Canadian export trade, he said, since last year exports to Italy were but one.half of one percent. of Can. ada's total export: trade. Meanwhile wheat prices are climbing because of the war scare, and "industrial factors in total business are mostly very en. couraging.'" Crop income in the West, despite damage, will average higher than last year, he said, and Canada's possess. fon of more than half of the wheat in the world placed her in a most en- viable position, he sald. ADVISES ADVERTISING "Therefore it is wise to adopt a policy af liberal advertising and sell- ing efforts, setting sales quotas high- er~for the period ahead." He believed an agreement of reci- procal trade with the United States would be affected by January and would have encouragingresults. Can. ada: may expect concessiong for lum- ber, cattle and possibly whedt-with a possible quod" for newsprint," "he. said. oe Cana \ industrial"employment is "highest level in four years, and 15,0 0 workers were taken on in Sep- tember in the face of what {s gen. erally a seasonal decline. There Is every reason to expect the present fa- vorable position of mineral produc- tion will continue, and manufacturing is at a new recovery high, he said. Recovery of . distribution has been less marked than that of other groups. "The general business and financial situation and outlook in Canada is far better than many appreciate," he said. "At present the ysical volume of business is only/14 per cent, below normal and hg increased 69 per cent. from the" dépression low."
