that the pope of the United King-

this end, to relieve pressure on tih.

Is undertaking radical measures to
tirnulate produetien 011 All Fides.
The Food 'Controller, Lord Devon-
port, has fixed prices to farmers for
wheat, oats and potatoes, asstlring
them high returns. But Mr. Px•othero,
proposes the forming of Aramittees
in every county to supelI'vise produc-
tion. In villages every possible scrap
of land 18 to be cultivated, pig clubs
are to be formed, and seta' furnished
for garden production. The county
committees are to mako surveys, and
to have the right to enter upon any
farm to inspect cultivationsand take
possession of it if not cultivated. The
speeding up of agricultural labor is
to be assisted by the War Office
through the USe of German prison -
re, of interned aliens, of conscien-
tious objectors exempt from army
service, aiicl, en special occasions, of
soldiers in ,t-aining. Corps o; women
are to be 'totalized an a military sys-
teM, paid as soldiers and billeted as
required, to help on the land. Motor
plows, steam cultivators, steam
threshing and other machinery will
be provided by the board, with men
specially released from the army for
their ,operation. Special imports of
feeding stuffs have been arranged
with the shipping authorities. In fact,
almost as much attention is being
given to farm production as to regu-
lar war organization.
The British people neglected agr
culture considerably in recent years
because with their large mercantile
marine they could import foodstuffs
from the ,United States, Canada,
Russia, Australia', India and other big
producing countries at a price as low
as the domestic value in these coun-
tries, and by buying abroad, create
a demand for British manufactures.
But the demands of war upon the
merchant marine, both for 'British
and Allied purposes, and the losses by
submarine have forced the British to
the conclusion that they must pro-
duce extensively for themselves. They
grew, before the war, only one-fourth
of their food. Now the endeavor must
be to grow -three-fourths of it. That
would ensure independence of any
submarine campaign that might be
launched by Germany.
