been instituted under government aus
pices to increase the output of food
products in Ireland. She used to be
told that her function was to be the
fruitful mother of flocks and herds
Now the cry is all for tillage. The
difficulty is that the grazing ranch
system which belongs to the old
theory has not been abolished, and
the people have not complete access
to the land. They are puzzled by the
two voices with which they are ad-
dressed on their duty in the war. On
the 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 farmer, and that his time
has come to show his gratitude by
shOuldering a rifle in the new armies.
Comment is freely made on the fact
that the farmers and the farmers sons
have not enlisted in the same pro
portion as other classes. The COM
plant is true as regards farmers of
all parts of ireland and of all parties
and creeds. 1t is true of English
farmers as well. But now there is
the new campaign for increased food
production which cannot be worked
if the men leave the land for the arm.

the government agriculturalsts are
getting in each others way.
That there is room for a consider
able development of Irish agriculture
is evident from the fact that, accord
ing to the statistics given by the head
of the agricultural department, Ire
land actually imports an annual aver
age of sixteen million pounds worth
of foodstuff which could easily be re-
placed by homegrown articles. He
has pointed out that if Germany had
titled as little of her soil as Ireland
she would have been exhausted in six
Germany tills siXty-five
per cent of her arabic land, whereas,
he says, Ireland tills only sixteen.
The inevitable topic of the American
exchange and the balance of trade F,
crops even up here, and the Irish
farmer is appealed to by the agri- |
culture minister to keep down the
price OF the dollar by importing less
American food, and producing more
IF his own.

has established in Dublin a branch

Author Believes the

The attention which has been
drawn to the motion pictures from
wen-known literary people is likely
to bring about the upbuilding OF an
entirely new art OF expression--a

said. This may be one Of tho
reasons motion pictures has given
the speaking drama 'body blow
and has taken the melodrama. clear
of the stage. The screen has. with
out a doubt, been established for all
time and all those within the in
dustry must now bend their efforts
toward improving the quality OF the
productions and the mechanical de-
vices used in presenting them.
THE motion picture Is part OF
the great American democracy; It
places the theater within reach OF
anyone, for even the poorest OF
families can afford a nickle for each
member OF their home circles at
times to enjoy subjects at one of the
neighborhood houses. That was tho
great trouble with the speaking
drama--it was presented in theaters
whose prices were beyond the reach
OF the poor. Motion pictures can be
