Potatoes grown in this district are not afflicted with disease found ir some of the older settled portions o the Province. The potato bug is no general throughout the district, al though an occasional garden or field is invaded by this. pest. Possibly in time the bug may become acclimated and thus be able to make its presence felt, but for the time being potatoe: grown here are not affected by the ravages of the potato bug. Seed free from disease and sold un: der certification by Government in spectors may help the East to over come the troubles experienced by far mers and gardeners in producing quantity and quality of potatoes.
