share OF government expenditure, and
at the beginning of the war was great
" hampered in competing for con =
tracts by the fact that the depots for
examining and receiving goods were in
London. Agitation, however, led to
the establishment of depot in Dublin
where classes of goods of Irish man.
usacture are dealt with. But there are
still restrictions limiting the classes
Of goods, and an effort is being made
to widen the utility of the depot by
admitting to it all the goods produced
in ireland which are required for mil
itar and other government services.
Ireland's chief industry is and must
remain agriculture. and one of the
most indispensable of war munitions
is food. A VIGOROUS campaign has
been instituted under Government
auspices to increase the output of
food products in Ireland She used to
be told that her function was to be the
fruitful mother of focks and herds.
Now the cry is all for tiIlage. The diff
Guilty is that the grazing ranch system
which belongs to the old theory has
not been abolished, and the epople
have not complete access to the land.
They are puzzled by the two voices
with which they are addressed on
their duty in the war. On tine one
hand they are told that it is the duty
Of the farmers to enlist, that the state
has done a good deal for the Irish
farer and that his time has come to
show his gratitude by shouldering
rife in the new armies. Comment is
freely made on the fact that the farm
ers and the farmers sons have not en-
listed in the same proportion as other
classes. The complaint is true as re-
CARDS farmers Of all parts of Ireland
and of all parties and creeds. It is
true of English farmers as we'll. But
now there is the new campaign for
increased food production which can
not be worked If the men leave the
