future disaster, for country can't live
mil o.,

future disaster, for a country can't live
without farms"
How would you render farm life
more attractive?"
by making it possible for more
people to own their own farms. In
France most of the peasants own their
own little patches of ground. They
hand them down from generation to
generation, consequently they are more
substantial and content than we in
England. And they could subscribe
the enormous indemnity after the Prus-
sian war without going out of the
country. Small holdings is a secret of
agricultural stability"
But how are you going to have
small holdings in England, where sin
gle men own such enormous districts ?"
oh, there's always land to be
bought, or If some benefactor wanted
to, he could buy up some of these great
estates the way some of you Ameri-
cans have done; then divide them up
into small parcels for the farmers. Or
the government could start credit
banks, as they have done so success
fully on the continent, and lend money
to small farmers.
Another scheme 1 am trying to for
ward is an agricultural parcels post
In England a parcel heavier than
twelve or thirteen pounds will not be
carried by parcels post. Raise the
limit to one hundred pounds at first
Then the farmer would be able to
keep in touch with the market. He
would simply put stamp on his barrel
of produce, and the government would
call for it and deliver 1t to the address,
Why shouldn't it do this for produce
as well as for letter? The first year
or two there would doubtless be a
loss, but it would mean everything to
the small farmer, and soon bring a
profit to the government.
"Then the taxes need readjustment.
They weigh too heavily on the land,
and cooperative societies should be
established on large scale to market
the produce. If all of these plans were
adopted they would make farm life
more attractive and more profitable
Young men would be less eager to get
away from the villages, the cities would
not be so choked with paupers and the
salvation of England's prosperity would
be assured.

Backing the Enterprise
When seen recently Mr.. Haggard
made hard interviewing as long
as the talk clung to literature.
He answered a question briefly and
courteously in a dozen words, and then
relaxed into his pipe and waited for
the next query. 1t was only when he
got to the practical side of life that
he began to warm up and talk without
any prodding. Then the coldness, the
Indifference, the reserve-whatever you
wish to call the typical English man
ner with strangers-fell away from Mr..
Haggard like mask. He grew earnest,
enthusiastic, cogent; but always with
out arrogance, without self-praise or
overconfidence.
He was thoroughly objective. Which
is a refreshing thing in literary man,
especially one who Is engaged in a
noble cause; for the typical literary
man is so profoundly subjective-or
tries to be-that his eyes turn inward
and he sees himself and all the world
through stained glass of personality.
But Mr.. Haggard could not be in
duced to stand in the calcium and ex-
plain himself. He seemed to be actu-
ally bored by illusions to his books.
Still the interviewer persisted.
'How do you write your books?"
A glance more of sorrow than of
anger was the only answer.
THAT is to say, where do you get
your ideas? How do you work them
up?"
He poured forth a cloud of smoke
and simply looked distressed.
For instance, in writing King
Solomon's Mines did you read up
much ?"
"Oh, no. You see, know my South
Africa so well. I spent many years
of my early life there. 1 was actually
the person who raised the first British
flag over the republic. They hauled it
down and gave the coun' ~ back to
the Beers for a while. but if they had

On His Hobby

But however that may be in the
future, there is very pressing need
for immediate action In relieving the
congestion of the cities. The poverty
in London is appalling and it increases
year by year. The records last year
surprised everybody with one hundred
and thirteen thousand on the poor rates
of London alone at Christmas time
This was several thousand more than
appeared the year before. 1t is evil
dent that something must be done, and
at once. That is the work 1 am now
engaged on.
"One of the first points of attack is
the removal of as many as possible of
the unemployed from the city, where
there is no hope for them, to a place
where there is hope. Unoccupied land
is the one refuge. Where to select the
land, how to settle the people upon 1t
and how to make them comfortable
there-these are our problems, and
they are not easy to solve.
"The Salvation Army of Philadelphia
has done much toward turning unim-
proved city lots into small temporary
farms This scheme has succeeded so
we'll that 1 am now over here to make
thorough study of it. In fact, my
life is devoted to this work. At times
one gets Respondent, but one ought not
to, for some good is bound to come
from the effort.
"The question of retaining the people
on the soil is the great question of the
civilized world today. The soil makes
strong men, strong children. In the
city the poorer families die out as a
rule by the third generation. Cities
mean wealth, but what is the good of
all the cash on earth to a nation that
is decrepit? Men are more than money"
The Rider Haggard of the new cru
sade is another man from the jaunty
romancer of a decade ago. He set the
world on fire with his airy imaginings
of mountains of gold. of strange
witches and of armipotent Zulu war;

1t is strange that from such a man
should come this serious worker of to-
day.

FAMOUS NOVELIST COMES ON
IMPORTANT MISSION
English Author Arrives In Los An

Government
Continued from rnrs One,

the novelist publicly, It is probable that
the chamber of commerce and other
local bodies will agree upon some plan
Of entertaining the noted author.
Worlds Old Problem
Mr.. Haggard's new problem is the
worlds old problem, the alleviatlon
Of pauperdom, the exorcism of the
black wolf from the doorstep of
the London poor. The problem is an
urgent one, for the Submerged tenth"
Of few years ago is growing to a
submerged fifth.
Agonized London has turned her eyes
to Philadelphia for inspection and Mr..
Haggard has been sent on a rowing
commission to investigate.
Mr.. Haggard would be an interesting
figure at any time in view of the tre-
mendous vogue he once had in this
country as a purveyor of light fiction.
Clothed now with a government COM
mission and solemn purpose, he be-
comes important and doubly pictur-
esque.
For what could be more picturesque
than a reformed novelist?
Mr.. Haggard's method of investigat-
ing the conditions of the poor is quite
unlike that of his fellow novelist Toll
stoy. Count Tolstoy goes out into the
fields and lives in what his photo
graphs show to be a sort of daytime
pajamas. Mr.. Haggard stops at the

He is very tall and on his very broad
shoulders his large enough head sits
