The potato house at Cape JellisOn un-
closed last week, owing to the
refusal to accept large consignment of
tubers sent:.by schooner Northland to New
York. The long continuance of rain through
the summer, and the early frost in AroOs-
took county prevented the potatoes from
reaching their usual high grade, and induc-
ed unlocked for decay in the harvested
crop, which is causing much trouble, alike
to farmer and shipper. 1t is thought by
Flanders that this "shut
down" is only temporary-a matter of three
or four weeks.
