THE FOOD SUPPLY.


most important. question Of today IS
What shall be done to make the food
supply OF this country adequate TO the
demand
Statisticians tell MS that the day is
nearly here when the United States
Will have 10 depend upon other coun-
tries Tor at least portion OF the food
supply Wc now use 9s per cent OF
the corn Va grow and 81 per cent Of
the wheat In ten Years the popula-
ton Of the country Increased fifteen
millions. len years ago there were
90 head oil cattle for every 100 per-
sons. Today there are but 6S. In
1900 ;here were 81 hogs for 100 per-
sons. In 1910 there were only 81, The
same conditions apply TO sheep.
At the rate the country is growing.
in nifty years the population viii be
doubled Think what il means. Ii We
must begin 10 import foodstuns Tor

nous amount must be brought in -
feed our children nifty years hence.
There are today approXimatelv only
10 acres OF farm land to even, per-
son in the country Only half Of this
is in cultivation. The rest is waste,
pasture. etc. This means that there
AZ, under cultivation but I'VE acres
pc" capita. FIFTY wears from now the
Indications are that there will be only
two and one-half acres per capita un-
Ger cultivation. Ii the five acres pc.
capita does not produce more than
enough 10 feed the population, wha;
viii two and one-half acres do when
the population has doubled?
It isn't a very encouraging outlook
for the future generations, Is it?

Holmes of the Hereford Inlet. " J.,
life-saving station went outside the
inlet in q sailboat for an afternoons out
ing, accompanied by three men and his
small son.
Some hours after they left shore
heavy storm came up, and to escape it
they beat back into the inlet. After
anchoring their boat where it would be
likely to ride safely they started to go
ashore in a skiff. While they We're still
a considerable distance from the land the
storm broke furiously upon them, and it
became almost as dark as night the
darkness and rain shutting the boat out
of sight from the shore, except when the
agitated waters of the inlet We're illumi
mated by binding flashes of lightning.
The suddenly risen sea soon swamped
the boat precipitating all hands over
board. Holmes managed to get hold of
his son and regain the boat but heavy
sea beat him off and tore the boy from
his grasp. The three other men did not
get back to the boat at all One of
them, it was afterward learned, was
drowned The others. however, We're
providentially carried by the tide over
submerged sandbar. upon which they
found a footing in water up to their
waists Holmes also, was lucky enough
to reach the same bar shortly afterward,
though without the boy.
It is indisputably shown by the evil
dence in this case that the storm
lasted fully half an hour. When 1t
had passed and the light had become
stronger, Holmes, still on the bar, re-
covered the body of his SON, which
he discovered near him under water
in an eddy.
1t so happened that during the prev
alence of the storm a boat broke
adrift from one of two vessels IN
volved in collision somewhere in the
locality and drifted upon the bar near
the marooned men. Holmes compan-
ions secured the boat and carried the
body of the child ashore. leaving the
rief-stricken parent to be picked up
by boat that was seen leaving the
beach.
After rescuing Holmes. the occupant
Of the boat-who proved to be the
keeper of the 1ife-savng station-pro-
ceeded to a pier, where the two men
had landed the boy. Up to the time
the keeper reached the pier nothing
had been done in the way of an at
tempt to restore the boy, 1T being sup
posed by the men who brought him
ashore. and by other persons who had
come upon the scene, that he was dead.
The keeper. nevertheless. took the
body in hand. and after half an hour
of persistent endeayor had the salts
faction Of seeing his patient gasp. Thus
encouraged he kept at his task with
renewed energy and an hour later was
able to place the boy in the arms of
his overjoyed father, well on the road
to recovery.
What was in some respects the most
remarkable resuscitation ever per-
formed by employees of the life-saving
service took place July 4. 1906, near
Wakefield. r. l., under the personal
direction of Capt. Herbert NJ. Knowles,
