I. IN BRITAIN
Rev. Harris Tells Of Indus.
irisi ,1d Agricultural
Affairs Abroad
Reforms, Iaaugurated by King
George Not Popular
with the People

Rev. G. w. Harris upon his return
from his trip abroad tells OF some OF
the conditions Of England, Germany
and France-sOme of which relate to
the grains there this year.
In England and France the early
wheat which was harvested in the
early part Of July gave a fine yield.
but the later grains were almost en-
tirely ruined by too much rain. He
says there Is no doubt but that there
will he a shortare Of grain IN these
countries, and that tAe demand for
wheat Will as a consequence be great.
er here. and that the price Is bound
to increase from now on, SO that II
the farmers OF this country. could re-
tain their grain until later, they
would without a doubt be able to re-
ceive q higher price.
Mr.. Harris also says that the indus
trial situation in Great Britain Is far
from satisfactory. and that tho re-
forms OF King George are very un.
popular and he seems to be the most
u%nfavorable statesman Of his time,
but it is also thought that In time
the measures he is trying to bring
about will be found to be a benefit to
the people.
For instance the compulsory meas
ure which makes it necessary for ev-
cry working man and employee to take
out insurance to be carried until sixty
years of age is displeasing to many,
though the insured pays s cents a
week, the manufacturer pays 8 cents
a week and the government 4 cents a
week, thus at the age of sixty there
will be neat little sum, while at pres
ent there are objections raised to
this measure. ...'.
An increased taxation on land for
the purpose of movement in land has
also been brought about, and some Of
the large estates are being sold out,
| as some of these have been held by
| family for several hundred years and
no one could buy same, thus increas-
4 ed taxation Is bringing about the
much desired movement in land.
| There is very little Improvement az
riculturally in England, due to the
fact of SO little movement in land in
the past. England plans to raisl,
enough in the line Of agriculture to
| feed every person for fourteen days
in a year, and when that amount Is
gone, the rest has to be imported.
However, one rarely ever will see
a vacant piece Of ground in eithev
Germany or England, as vacant lots
are rented for a very reasonable sum.
and the, poor people rent them for
gardens and for planting flowers, so
the consequences are that every piece
! of ground is in s K, and many beauti-
full flower gardens are to be seen.
