This was the decision reached by the 'shareholders of the Huntingdon concern on Monday night. They have a big bill from the farmers for switching dues, and this is thought to be the best ana most economical means of settling it. The American*concern, in addition to the Bellingham and Lynden centres, havea switchboard at Sumas to J which thei;Huntihgdon farmers are connected. ������-U/nder the new arrangement the managers will keep up repairs, make extensions and accommodate new subscribers. Any accounts that come against the Canadian company they will meet on a fifty-fifty basis with ; their own claims. The shareholders are all confident that this is the most satisfactory way out of their difficulties, priiici- tory pally because it gives excellent security on both sides and provides for efficient-service. The American i\"troubleman\" will be available on this side of the\"'\"'line for economic repairing ahd adjusting. The new arrangement will come into operation at once. .

In view, ol\" the recent.-extremely\" 'cold weather, this is \"somewhat rcmaiK- able and is attributed to the- fact that the facilities for storing have been much improved ^ during recent years. The root houses of tlie large growers are ar permanent affair and somewhat elaborate.as compared 'to the old-time pits. They are built to withstand tho severest cold weather, the wall in some cases be ing .two .feet .thick and constructed so as' to leave a space in the cent-.;e, which is,.afterwards filled with sawdust or'some other materia'. This ensures a. first-class frost-proof root house. \"In the case-'o'f the smaller growers;* they\", also profiting'by the experience''of former\"'y'elirs, took more pains in the construction of their pits. , Floods have resulted in the largest loss of potatoes this year. One grower residing on Barnstoh Island, who in other years marketed'700 tons of potatoes, this year only saved enough for his own use. -A large number of others, in different localities, have also been heavy losers. A large number of potatoes arc also being lost\" through the ravages of a disease known as tlie \"Rnglish blight.\" This is a eomprira'th'ely 'new disease in this pari of tlie province.- A small portion of rot appears on one end of the spud. This spreads quickly, and soon the ��������� whole, potato as well as all others coming hi contact with it, are unfit for use. If, on first noticing ' the rot, the diseased part is cut off, the rest of the potato can be used for consumption. ��������� ' . Regarding tho checking of the disease, it has been stated that the best plan is-to inspect the potatoes regularly and throw out any that are \"rotten. ��������� - ' ��������� LOCAL CHICKEN FANCIER IS ELECTED PRESIDENT (From Fraser Valley Record) . ..At the annual meeting of the-B.

' If Great Britain had a large surplus of \"farmers -and - farm-hands, - Canada might not have to invite immigrants from any. other source.

She. is quite willing to Send..out countless city folk in the hope,that they may be transformed, into farmers in their new environment, but' she. has fewer farmers to -spare than many other countries from which Canada in the past-has drawn excellent settlers. This is illustrated by the homestead entries. From 1897 to 1919, only . eighteen per' cent, of the British immigrant? made entry for homesteads ��������� in Western Canada as-compared to twenty-seven per cent, of the Ameri- ���������-..can immigrants.and-twenty-nine per . cent.- of the foreign born from Con- . \"tiiiehtal 1-hirope.

The great immigration of Ukrainian? from Central'Europe which has given Canada nearly 000,000 .of her Wester1.'\", farm po\"i'ia!ion was due to the constant subdivision of farms which vvpve ori)\\' fifteen acres to 'start with.
