future by offering women clerks or

consider immense wages to come and

The only solution is to fix what is
a fair amount of food-wheat, milk,
or meat etc.-to be produced from a
given farm; to commander that
amount at pre-war price and to pay
him for the balance at double or
treble those rates.
We should thus obtain the desired
result of more food with minimum

else.
First-The state must take over
every ship. This il regrettable, be-
cause they will manage them less
economically than private owners,
but it is unavoidable.
It must also hire and buy neutral
ships and with it's fleet bring in food
at pre-war rates. This will tend to
restore matters to the old basis.
Second-All luxury shops, adver-
tisements and trades must be shut
down, and all breweries closed
The manufacture of drink takes an
immense quantity of good food, and
with other luxury trades wastes an
appalling amount of labor and trans
port.
The third and greatest step is to
control the output Of our farms.
The agricultural problem is how to
make the farmer produce more food
from his farm. We have seen that
high prices do not compel more food,
and now we are being driven by mill
tary necessity to take away much OF
the remaining skilled labor from the
land.
But the farmer can always run his

CLAIMS ENGLAND
FACES A famine
DESPITE Navy
Expert Gives His Solution
Of Way to Avert Prophe-
sled Disaster

Famine stares you in the face! says
Bernard Gilbert in the London Dis
patch.
Il What is famine? The dictionary
calls it IAN extreme scarcity Of food"
and until recently it meant the death
Of the poorest by starvation. That
happened In Ireland not so long ago,
although there was. plenty of food in
England q few miles away.
But the modern state is more SEN
sitive Especially in war; and dare
not let any section Of its population
starve. 81 1T i
There are three phases Of modern
famine.
The first is that in which we have
lived Of late, with food rising in price,
accompanied by strikes and rising
wages.
The second phase is reached when
money will not buy goods in the de-
sired quantities; which phase Ger
many has endured for nearly two
years and which we have experienced
in sugar and petrol aaone.
The third and final phase is reach
ed when the government cannot by
all its efforts provide the people with
enough food to keep the people alive.
Germany has avoided the third
phase by graphing with the problem
In time. -
She realized at an early stage that
the result Of the war depends as
much on food as on military effort,
and 1t is possible that we shall be in
greater difficulties than Germany
despite our command Of the sea)
by the spring of 1913.
II the present steps had been taken
three months ago and if the agricul-
fura1 problem had been grasped, our
position would have been far better
at this moment
Even now the government does not
appreciate the difficulty. The ra-
tioning of food would save rioting
, and political disturbance, but it will
not provide more food for the future.
The only way to do that is to grow
more at home. Our food crisis will
come In the autumn Of 1917.
II Nature were bounteous all next
year. II there were an untinterrupt-
ed appearance Of the sun and bum
per harvest all over the world. the
danger might be- averted, but not
not otherwise.
Food is dear all over the world, and
that world DEAFNESS is aggravated for
England by the world scarcity of
shipping.
It is true that Chicago wheat fac
tors and Argentina meat traders are
making huge profits, but the cause
is the steady rise in prices. ALI trad
ers, all spectators, fatten on steady
rise.
Also it is true that British shippers
and British farmers are making
greater profits than before the war
for exactly the same reason; but
these men and their profits are not
the cause of rising prices and their
withdrawal would not make prices
fall.
This matter of private profit is a
stock subject Of the Socialist, and it's
abo1ition in war time may be an ur-
gent social problem; but even If you
could extend the abolition to Chicago
and Buenos Aires (Which you can
ROt). It would not make food more
plentiful In Great Britain. -
The British system of raising
wages, when forced under war urgen-
ny, Is thoroughly bad, because higher
wages mean higher prices and the
drive to restriction is only accelerat-
-.
We should aim at one thing only
the ioWering Of food prices. Nothing

SAYS GHOST STORIES 1NJURE

Robert L. Burns. district super
intendent, in a recent address to
Philadelphia teachers, told them that
"fanciful stories" should be eliminat-
ed from the school room, the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger states. He
expressed himself dis particularly OPP
posed to stories in which ghosts and
hobgoblins are the principal char
acters.
LAS a result of hearing ghost mar
ratives by the wholesalcs,' he said,
children develop severe cases of
nerves. which frequently follow
them through life. An immeasur-
able amount of harm has been done
to children who are subjected to
imaginative narratives Of things
which possibly cannot happen. They
become frightened and are harassed
by useless fears
He warned the teachers against
stirring the imagination Of their pu-
pills along morbid lines unnecessarily.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A cash return for the wood grown
on the farm woodlot is just as posi-
BILE as a profit on other farm crops.
Farmers often lose sight Of this fact.
mainly because timber requires only
small amount of labor but a long
period of years to bring it to mar
ketable condition. Often, therefore.
the owner is satisfied with an annual
supply of dead frewood, and the wood
lot becomes a harboring place for in
sect pests and a meager pasturage for
roaming live stock. Yet Improvement
of the woodlot depends upon just
few simple principles which any farm
er may learn and practice. These are
contained in a new farmers bulletin.
No. I'll, published by the United
States department of agriculture.
Improvement of the woodlot begins
with the cutting out of all dead and
diseased timber. Then the mature
merchantable trees should be re-
moved, like any other farm crop, when
conditions favor a sale. New trees
should be planted in the open spaces
to grow up and fill in the forest can
opy and encourage the growth Of tall.
straight timber.
Wocslots may be divided into two
classes, each determined by the char
acter of the stand. On one type, the
trees are a second growth Of approx
mately the same age and it is found
that undesirable species are crowd
ing out valuable trees, the former
should be cut to allow the unhampered
growth of the better quality tim

of several years, each cutting taking
from one-third to one-half the trees.
These cuttings allow the remaining
trees to receive more sunlight and
thus encourage them to produce more
seed. Neither of the first two cuttings
should be so heavy as to encourage
the growth of weeds or grass on the
forest floor. The third cutting should
be made after the seedlings are es-
tablished and there is no further need
for protection Of the old trees.
Scattered old trees. suppressing val
liable young growth, often will be
found in woodlots. Such trees will
never be of much value for lumber
and their widespreading habit often
results in the suppression or killing
of the young and better-formed seed
lings, which frequently may be of
considerable value. It is best in such
cases to remove the old trees at
once.
Pasture and timber production can
not be practiced on the same area,
except to the disadvantage of each,
and the combination will not be as
remunerative to the owner as the prac-
tice of either one separately. Cattle,
horses, sheep or goats eat young seed
lings, trample them out, or brush
against them and break them OF.
Hogs eat the seed and thus prevent
reproduction from starting, or root
young seedlings out of the ground.
The existing growth is damaged
through the trampling or wounding OF
the roots and the compacting of the
soil so that 1t is impervious to water.
Horses should be kept out of the
woodlot entirely because they often
peel the bark from trees and eat the
young shoots. When young growth
is not desired. a few head of cattle
are permissible, provided, however
that the ground is not soft when they
are turned in. Hogs may be used to
aid reproduction before the time for
the seed to fall. They will root up
the ground and thus put it in good
condition for receiving the seed
Goats and sheep should be allowed in
the woodlot only when 1t is necessary
to clear up brush of undesirable
| species.
Care should be taken to keep fire
from getting into the woodlot. This
destroys the fallen leaves and accum
ulated litter of several years, thus do
ing away with the very material with
which the trees enrich their own soil
Burned-over ground becomes exposed
evaporation is greater, and more Of
the rain and melted snow runs on the
surface. Leaf or grass fires usually
destroy the young seedlings up to one
inch in diameter and also do grea
damage to other trees in the stand
especially by making conditions favor
able for the entrance Of reproducing
fungi.
