BACK FROM THE FARM.

BACK FROM THE FARM.
The movement Of people from the
farming districts, which in Canada.
where 1t is also noted, il generally
discussed unprohtably with partisan
political ends in view, has in England
been made the subject of = report to
the board of agriculture and fisheries.
The purpose OF the inquiry was to as
certain whether there is actually.
deficiency in the supply of rural la
Dor. and, IL there II. the extent Of the
evil. the. nature OF the labor most
affected, and, Of course, the cause.
The regular reporters of the board,
the secretaries OF Agricultural organ
ixations, and the small holding COM
missioners furnished the material.
Between 1901 and 1911 the increase
in the population OF England and
Wales was 1889 per cent. In 81
counties classed as commercial and
industrial the rate Of growth was 11.S
per cent: in % classed as "agricul-
tural' 1t was GO per cent. 1t II ex-
planned that further details of the
census OF 1911 are necessary to dis
close the full meaning Of the fair in
crea.e in the rural districts. Only
when the occupations Of the people
are tabulated will It be seen whether
the increase was on the farms or in
the towns generally supported by the
farms. And here It IL pointed out
that. advanced as agriculture is in
Great Britain, It IL not an expanding
industry capable Of absorbing the nat
ural increase OF the population.
From various causes some land goes
out OF cultivation or out Of classes Of
cultivation that call for much labor.
Then, under the spur Of necessity,
those most directly concerned have
been led to consider how labor may
be most economically employed and
how its effectiveness may be increased
by machinery and modern appliances.
Az i'm America. where the develop
Inent Of farm machinery has been
carried farthest. there may be MAIN
tenance and even an increase Of pro-
duction without any increase or even
with q limited reduction Of the num-
Der Of workers employed in . given
locality. In this the experiences of
the factories 10 repeated. These fac-
tors which made Tor . decrease Of
farm workers are offset in part by an
increase In fruit, vegetable and flower
growing. So, with the natural growth
in the population and the limitation
Of the expansion Of agricultural en-
ployment. emigration from the farm
ing regions becomes . necessity
