It has become an estab- lished and very necessary factor in the ev e1 increasing internal and ex- ternal trade in this commodity which has deveIOped in recent years. Seed potato certification is important both from the purchas- er‘s. as well as from the grower‘s standpoint. One does not have to Ion-k far back to the time when al- most any potato was merely taken at its face value and planted more on its appearance than {01 an) in- herent qualit) oi productheness it might possiblx possess 011 the othei hand, a seed potato today in order to be classed as such must almost have a pedigree. Certifica- tion is a means to that enc. The information gained through experimental and pathological re- search of the many diseases afl‘ect- ing the potato is voluminous. The best-looking seed potatoes might be heavily affected with serious diseases to such an extent that the crop produced therefrom would be scarcely worth harvesting. Hence the need for some guarantee. pre- ferably backed by.government oti‘i- cial standards and inspection, on which the purchaser or seed pota- CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES The Empire Opportunity in Manufactured Goods Of 38 groups of manufac- tured goods Canada sells the Empire to the total of $178,000,000. It is to be remembered that the Em- pire imports from all countries these goods to the amount of$2,571,000,- 000. The British Empire presents a tremendous opportunity for the devel- opment of export on these commodities. THE DEPARTME NT . OF T RE AND COMMERCE U1. F. C. T. O’HARA, Deputy Water 1 I". W [1 Han.

He must be pre- pared to carry information obtain- ed through experimental work to the grower. This information in-‘ cludes not only a knowledge of the diseases affecting the crep, but also the most up-to-date methods of dis- ease control. to say nothing of the multitudinous questions relating to soil types. cultivation, fertilizers, machinery. and many other phases relating not only to the. growing of the potato crop but also to other farming activities.

To encourage this growing Empire trade, eleven of Canada’s twenty- four Trade Commissioners abroad, are working in Empire centres. They are familiar with the demands of the people among whom they live. Their services and the information they gather are at the command of any Canadian producer or exporter. To get into touch with Trade Commissioners, write the Commercial Intelligence Service, Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. When you buy Empire goods, you do a part in making possible greater Canadian exports to these sister countries. Where we sell, we must also buy. The various parts of the Empire want more Canadian goods. A demand exists among them for Canadian manufactures, or for the products of Canadian lands or waters. But we must see that our exports are maintained at a rigid standard, that they are packed as consumers desire, and that our prices are right. restrictions intervene, where British tradition is appreciated, where Canada is known. There we can sell. There we can also buy. Canada is buying more Empire goods than ever beforeâ€"things we cannot grow or makchraw materials for our factories. Since 1922 Canada’s imports from Empire countries have increased 67 per cent. Last year we bought Empire goods to the value of $250,000,000. And what is Canada selling the Empire? Last year we shipped $500,000,000 worth of our products to other British lands, an increase of 44.3 per cent. in six years.
