Canada warns mariners and farmers as potato blight known as black leg or potato canker spreads from Europe to Newfoundland. Experts urge immediate destruction of infected tubers to stop seed spread and prevent lasting soil infection for years.
The text outlines thorough cleaning and disinfection of booths and farm gear, spreading boards on fields to avoid reinfection, collecting refuse and damaged tubers, burning wet tubers, and sealing a deep mixed refuse trench with alternating layers of unslaked lime and tubers to prevent the spread of disease. It warns against using seed from diseased crops.

Trust leaders offered bribes, faced arrest, and threats, yet Parr persisted, earning praise as a quiet hero who did his duty.
