TO EXTEND POTATO
EMBARGO
The Restrictions Imposed are Severe.
Quarantine Order Issued by Secre-
tary Houston

News from Washington under the
date of Dec. 26, states that quar-
antine order was issued by Secretary
Houston which prohibits the importa-
tons of the common or irish potato
from Canada, Newfoundland, the is
lands of st. Pierre and Miquelon,
Great Britain, Ireland. Continental
Europe and other foreign countries,
until such time as it shall have been
ascertained to the satisfaction of the
department that the country or local
ity from which potatoes are offered
for import is free from powdery scab.
The order provides that shipments
loaded prior to Dec. "a as shown by
consular invoices will be permitted
entry up to and including Jan Is. A
supplementary order was issued re-
stricting the importations of potatoes
into the United States under provision
of Sections /, g and in the plane
quarantine act.
The first order simply extends the
quarantine issued Sept. 20, 1912, COW
ering Newfoundland, the islands of
st. Pierre and Miquelon, Great Britain
including England. Ireland, Scotland
and Wales, Germany and Austria
Hungary. All the rest of the Do
minion of Canada and the rest of
Continental Europe are added to the
September order
1t is stated by the department that
in case of certain provinces in Canada
and Ger ain districts in Europe show
ing they are free from potato dis
eases, the absolute quarantine be
lifted possibly in time to allow the
later movement of the present years
crop under strict regulation and i@-
speetion.
The order means that in the future
no potatoes can be imported until
importers have secured permits from
the Federal Horticultural Board SINH
lar to those now issued by the i'm
porters of nursery stock. Potatoes
to be admitted must be certified by
the Government of the country of ori-
gin to be free from dangerous dis
eases and insect pests, new to or not
widely prevalent in the United States,
and must have been grown in dis
trict free from wart disease and pow
derry scab.
In conversation with local potato
dealer yesterday, he expressed an
opinion that this order would have
tendency to strengthen the markets
here, and the local price has already
gone up FIVE cents on the bushel as tu-
bers are today bringing fifty cents per
bushel.

night and Sunday afternoon, Some
of the employees of the store found
Sunday afternoon that the cash regis
ter had been gone through, but owing
to the custom of removing the money
every night from it the thief or thieves
found it empty and so far as known
nothing was taken. The theory has
been advanced that whoever did it
must either hid in the basement until
all were out of the store Saturday
night or else have in some manner
secured key.
