ENGLISH LACKING IN UNION
Weak Spot in British Agriculture Is
Failure of Farmers to Perfect
an Organization.

In an article on The Newest Phase
of the Oldest Industry" Sir Horace
Plunkett gives some novel news on
the transfer of the land to the people.
He says:
The cry of back to the land has been
heard loud enough and long enough to
be taken as evidence of a real public
opinion. The state Is now giving to
the country side of our national econ
omy a degres OF attention which can
not be explained by the mere party
pursuit of the agricultural vote. though,
of course. this inevitable factor in all
public questions will make It's normal
contribution to the confusion of issues.
It Is the agreed policy of all parties
TO settle a larger number of the popu-
lation upon the land and this not In
order to placate or benefit the land
less so much as to strengthen the po-
sition OF the nation. The back to the
land movement Is not the result of an
agrarian agitation; II Is a redirection
OF national ideal and aim.
England not only prospered might
ly In industry at home. but was en-
abled to seize the cream of the worlds
unoccupied agricultural lands. In
these newly settled countries there
was. of course. no urban predominance.
But this day rural life In the United
States and the British dominions Is af-
fected by the economic thought which
had dominated the ear of England's
Industrial and commercial supremacy.
Agriculture came to be treated
much more as an investment than as
a career. This tendency has reached
its extreme manifestation in the waste

of the richest portions OF the western
hemisphere Mr., Roosevelt has not
only used his powerful influence to
correct this extravaganza of natural
resources, but In his Countrywide pol

ITO my mind, any comprehensive

are doing N Ireland. upon similar
lines. Unquestionably the weak spot
in English agricultural economy Is the
