HC Deb 10 July 1941 vol 373 c325W
Colonel Carver

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can make any statement as to the utility of the Doon Star variety of seed in potato culture; and whether his Department recommends its use?

Mr. Hudson

Until this year the variety Doon Star gave high yields of good ware potatoes. During the present season the seed has shown high susceptibility to dry rot and there have been many crop failures.
