thousands OF farmers were absolutely
ruined. Conditions remained very
bad for farming for thrty-tive years
Owing to a variety OF causes an
improvement occurred between 1000
and zoos, This Improvement was
being maintained and was increasing
when the war broke out. Although it
had placed the farmer So he was max
ing good commercial profit ten
years before the war, every year saw
less land under cultivation and more
i'll the areas gong to grass was due
to the fact that farmers could make
a good living i'll that way with less
risk, and the memory OF the terrible
experience of the DEPRESSION
Lord Selburne will have something
to do with the revival of agriculture,
even now that he has resigned his
place as president Of the Board of
Agriculture, as the prime minister has
invited him to cooperate with him in
the task of reconstruction of agricul-
turc after the war.
Speaking before the Agricultural
Organization society, Lord Selborne
said:
Increased food production during
the war is sacred national duty. The
man on Hampshire farm can strike
a blow for England equally with his
son i'll Flanders. The manner in
which women have responded to the
call Of duty in this war should make
it impossible for any man to think
them less patriotic, less capable OF
comprehending great issue, less
firm in purpose or less prone to sac
rifice than men" He made a plea
for better wages for farm laborers,
better houses, and for multiplication
of the occupying owners of land
drawn from the laboring classes"

Northeast of Wuchang. in the obtuse

er Hankow's claim to distinction as an
active industrial center.
Here is located the Hanyang iron
works founded by the late Chang Chin
tung. These huge works own their
own ore and coal fields located near
by. Rails for Chinas roads used to
come principally from US; now they
come from the Hanyang mills. An
arms factory IS also located at Han
yang, and many thousands of Chinese
are employed there under the dfrec-
ton OF skilled foreigners.
For all practical purposes Hanyane
may be considered as merely forming
Il suburb of Hankow. The construc-
ton of fixed bridge across the Han
river will probably not be practicable,
owing to the sudden and great changes
in the height of the water level. 1t is
therefore proposed to facilitate COM
munication between the two cities by
means of a transporter, and when this
contrivance is completed the three riv-
er towns will practically be welded into
one, forming Greater Hankow.
Hankow is the strategic center for
China's system Of railroads. Its riy-
ers are continually chOked with traffic.
Hitherto the only wharveS available
have been in the foreign concessions in
HankoW proper. No intercemmunica-
ton was hitherto possible between the
three cities, all within a stones throw,
and aggregating 100000 people.
When HankOw was burned during
the revolution, the citizens began TO
rebuild along the old, inSanitary lines,
1t was this woefuI inclination on the
part of the people which made the gOy-
