Whale In Okinawa Theatre ASK FEDERAL BAN ON NEMATODE POTATOES FROM LONG ISLAND Senator Brewster of Maine Urges U. S. Action In In- terstate Shipmen ts ; State Has Quarantine. Long Island' s nemntoded pota- toes are the subject of a demand from Maine that the Federal Gov- ernment in Washington take steps to ban their interstate shipment anil marketing. The potatoes an* already banned froni such ship- ment by New York State and C. Chester DnMond, commissioner of the State Department of Agricul- ture and Markets declares Nassau County Is the only place in North America where the golden nema- tode has been discovered and 3 . 5UO acres of land are now under quar- antine there. Senator Owen Brewster of Maine in a letter to Secretary of Agri- culture Anderson declares that po- tato growers of his state "have been greatly disturbed at the ap- proach of the harvesting season on Long Island as to whether-full and proper preventative measures " against the spread of the tiny par- asite have been taken here. Maine nnd Long Island have been rivals in potato growing for some time . Experts outside Long Island de- clare the Senator claims present clnre , the Senator claims , present control and elimination measures here are " not satisfactory and lack aggression " . "With these diseased potatoes ready for market the time element is of the utmost importance, " Brew- ster asserted. "Any action to con- demn these potatoes must be taken immediately " . He asked whether the Commodity Credit Corporation could buy them and " retire " them under a federal aid program simi- lar to that used against the cotton bollworm. At the present time farmers whose land was quarantined be- fore planting receive grants up to $94.75 an acre for not growing po- tatoes . There are other farmers who planted the crop In lands official- ly okayed , it is said , only lo he told now that their acreage wns infected. They claim that anore than 1 ,200 acres fa Nassau , already planted to potatoes have been so condemned this season. Tho farm- er thus affected is not eligible for cash grants nor do thoy come un- der the federal price control pro- gram. Thoy can ship tholr spuds ' , marked as nemntoded , to Now York City, but because of the labeling must take a very low price . Tho golden nematode , a tiny parasite , does not affect the po- tato for human consumption , but does affect tho farmer ns It cuts his yield from tho plants. The dan- ger of tho Infection lies in tho possible spread of the parasite to other potato producing lands, Most Long Island potato growers obtain their seed potatoes from tho State of Maine.

"Although the new switchboardequipment has been placed in thecentral office building at 338 MainStreet, Huntington , we lave beendelayed in making the necessaryconnections on many subscribers'¦lines because of lack of cable ," It.M. Ewing, Manager for the tele-phone company said recently.

ASK FEDERAL BAN ONNEMATODE POTATOES

FROM LONG ISLANDSenator Brewster of Maine

Urges U. S. Action In In-terstate Shipments; StateHas Quarantine.

Long Island's nemntoded pota-toes are the subject of a demandfrom Maine that the Federal Gov-ernment in Washington take stepsto ban their interstate shipmentanil marketing. The potatoes an*already banned froni such ship-ment by New York State and C.Chester DnMond, commissioner ofthe State Department of Agric ul-ture and Markets declares NassauCounty Is the only place in NorthAmerica where the golden nema-tode has been discovered and 3.5UOacres of land are now under quar-antine there.

Senator Owen Brewster of Mainein a letter to Secretary of Agri-culture Anderson declares that po-tato growers of his state "havebeen greatly disturbed at the ap-proach of the harvesting season onLong Island as to whether-full andproper preventative measures"against the spread of the tiny par-asite have been taken here. Mainennd Long Island have been rivalsin potato growing for some time.

Experts outside Long Island de-clare the Senator claims presentclnre, the Senator claims, presentcontrol and elimination measureshere are "not satisfactory and lackaggression ".

"With these diseased potatoesready for market the time elementis of the utmost importance," Brew-ster asserted. "Any action to con-demn these potatoes must be takenimmediately". He asked whetherthe Commodity Credit Corporationcould buy them and "retire" themunder a federal aid program simi-lar to that used against the cottonbollworm.

At the present time farmerswhose land was quarantined be-fore planting receive grants up to$94.75 an acre for not growing po-tatoes.

There are other farmers whoplanted the crop In lands official-ly okayed , it is said , only lo hetold now that their acreage wnsinfected. They claim that anorethan 1,200 acres fa Nassau, alreadyplanted to potatoes have been socondemned this season. Tho farm-er thus affected is not eligible forcash grants nor do thoy come un-der the federal price control pro-gram. Thoy can ship tholr spuds ',marked as nemntoded , to Now YorkCity, but because of the labelingmust take a very low price .

Tho golden nematode, a t inyparasite, does not affect the po-tato for human consumption , butdoes affect tho farmer ns It cutshis yield from tho plants. The dan-ger of tho Infection lies in thopossible spread of the parasite toother potato producing lands, MostLong Island potato growers obtaintheir seed potatoes from tho Stateof Maine.
