THE POTA.
To MARKET
Removal of Tariff Will Not I'm
mediateIy Affect Prices, Says
Mr.. Browne.

Congressman Browne is of the
opinion that the removal of the tariff
of % cents a bushel on potatoes will
have no immediate effect upon the
price of potatoes in this country He
basis this opinion on the fact
that the secretary of agriculture
last year issued an order prohibiting
the importation of potatoes from
certain countries in order to protect
the potato growers of the United
States from the disease known as
the potato wart and which at pres
ent does not prevail in this country
The countries from which potatoes
cannot be imported, it is said, are
the British Isles, Germany, Austria
Hungary, Newfoundland and Pierre
and Hiquelon, two islands in the
st. Lawrence river. 1t is also stated
that the London bureau of agricul-
ture recently asked, through dip
lomatic channels, that the interdic-
ton on the importation of potatoes
be raised but that the request has
been denied.
