to be devoted to it by almost as much in as is specified in the Dill. The importation of natives from South Africa for agricultural labor | during the remainder of the war, though so mary objections have been raised to this that there is little like- lihood of its being adopted. It is believed that the plan for i bringing back soldiers from the front | will have the effect of providing farm | labor practically immediately. In | i i iFARR\ELL e (c101 HING co \\\ I” NEW BR|TAIN CONN, announcing the War Office’s consent to the transfers, an expert told the Agricultural Soclety that in England Scotland, as well as in Ireland, ! the farms in many districts had tallen far below their minimum needs in the matter of labor. The tendency to regard more seri- ously the country’s capacity for grow- ing larger crops is illustrated by the figures of the wheat, barley and oats crops in England and Wales. Wheat and oats were grown in larger quan- tities, though the barley crops were much smaller. There were 5,489,939 acres devoted to the three cereals in England and Wales in 1915, an in- crease of 248,044 acres as compared with 1914. The greatest increase in acreage was devoted to wheat, or 2,170,170 acres in all, the figure repre- senting an increase of 362,672 acres (20 per cent.) greater than in 1914, and 25 per cent. greater than during any of the years between 1905 and 1915. Every country returned im- creased areas, the total for Wales of 11,263 acres (81 per cent.) being the greatest. The returns for 1915 give 2,088,047 acres under oats, an increase of 158,- 421 acres as compared with 1914, but only 24,869 acres above the avarage for the past ten years. The whole of this increase was in England. The reduction of the areas under harley amounted to 158,421 acres, the total acreage of 1,231,722 being the low- est yet recorded. Perhaps to no in- dividual as much as to the Earl ol Selbourne is due the credit of br ing home to the people of all classes the importance of taking prompt means of making the country more nearly self-supporting in food stuffs. In all of his addresses in recent years he has laid stress on the point. A practical farmer and enthusiast on his large and fertile tract in Hampshire, he has been able to meet the objec- tions of opponents of expert knowl- cdge to the great advantage of his crusade. and The Coolest Under- wear Union Suits $1.00 and $1.50 Athletic Style 50c per garment Auto Dusters 2.00 to $5.00 Outing Shirts 50c to $1.50 Flannel Trousers ENGLAND MUST FEED HERSELP under-secretary for the colonies This Slogan Takes Place of “Back | to the Land.” ey e e sioner of South Africa immediately after the war he had further opportu- nity of enlarging his nowledge as to agriculture.

I refer to their lacilities for quick orzanization. In France for instance, there is a pre- fect in every department and a m or in every commune, while practic ly the whole of Germany's population is at the order of the government. What those countries can do by com- pulhion we must accomplish by vol- untary and spontaneous effort. And the machine here, therefore, is neces- sarily slower. “But the spirit of the people here is aroused, and, as usual when that i so, the desired result is bound to fol- low. “While we are not as well equipped in this respect of agricultural colleg as a country of larger rural popula- tion like the United States, we are paying state grants to insti- tutions scattered over the en- tire country that are directing their energies into this vital channel of instructing the people in the art of agriculture. When they are further along in their task, our goal of ac- complishing the re-population of the agricultural distrits will be simpli- fled, if not solved. Likewise a splen- did impetus will be given the work of afforestation, so badly needed throughout the countr & “Cambridge university and colleges at ILeeds, Bristol and Reading are among the institutions that are aiding in this work of train- ing our future farmers. “But perhaps the condition to which farming has dropped in the United Kingdom may be better understaod by | a reference to its history. It must be remembered first that up to the time of the passing of the great reform hill in 1832, land in this country was a source of great political power, “The bill's effect in transferring the basis of power from land ownership was manifested gradually, and that depression which was the greatest catastrophe in the history of agricul- ture did not begin until the end of | That was with the fall in the price of wheat to 24 shillings a auarter, and of corn and other farm | produce in proportion. Farming, of course, ceased to be a business proposition. “Millions of pounds were lost, and thousands of farmers were absalutely ruined. Conditions remained very bad for farming for thirty-five years. “Owing to a variety of causes an improvement occurred between 1900 and 1905. This improvement was being ‘maintained and was increasing when the war broke aut. Although it had placed the farmer so he was making a good commercial profit ten = and schools | years before the war, every year saw less land under cultivation and more acres devoted to grass. The increase in the areas going to grass was due to the fact that farmers could make a good living in that way wWith less risk, and the memory of the terrible experience of the depression.” Lord Selborne will have something to do with the revival of agriculture even now that he has resigned his place as president of the board of agriculture, as the prime minister has him to co-operate with him in the task of reconstruction of agri- | culture after the war. Speaking before the Argricultural Organization society, Lord Shelborne said: “Increased food production during the war is a sacred national duty. The man on & Hampshire farm can strike a blow for England equally with his | son in Flanders. The manner in which | women have respanded to the call of duty in this war should make it | Impossible for any man to think them less patriotic, less capable of com- | prehending a great issue, less firm in | purpose or less prone to sacrifice than men.” He made a plea for bet- | ter wages for farm laborers, better | houses, and for a multiplication of the occupying owners of land drawn | from the laboring classes.
