LONDON, Aug. 3.-One of the eff
fects of the war will be seen in a
great revival of agricultural life in
England and the United Kingdom The
outbreak of the conflict caught the
British Isles dependent on foreign
commerce for four-fifths of their food
supply, barring meat, of which be-
tween 60 and 70 per cent is produced
at home.
The motto of few years ago, Back
to the Land" thus has given way to
the slogan, England must feed her
SELF Lord Selborne, the leader of
the crusade declares that the attain
ment of this object is the country's
sacred duty, and he emphasizes the
point that the farmer can do as much
for the country as the soldier in the
trenches.
Plans for the great reform include
number of important measures to be
Lut into effect at the earliest possible
moment. They include the follow
ing:
1. The repopulation of the rural
districts and afforestation. The War
Office has just consented to the ex-
change of many of the older men who
in the earlier days of the war left farm
work for the firing line for men be-
tween 10 and 80 to take their places
at the front. This exchange will be-
gin Immediately.
2. The setting aside of thousands
of acres for the settlement on the CO.
operative plan of England's soldiers
and sailors after the war. This ex-
pediency is provided for by the Small
holding Colonies Act, now halfway
through Parliament. The scheme will
provide for model villages, better
housing, with garden to every cot
tage. reading rooms, libraries and good
schools. Conceived by Lord Selborne,
the idea has aroused so much enthus-
iasm that a wide demand has been
made for increasing the land to be
devoted to it by almost as much again
as is specified in the bill.
8. The importation of natives from
South Africa for agricultural labor
during the remainder of the war,
though SO many objections have been
raised to this that there is little likeli-
hood of it's being adopted.
1t is believed that the plan for
bringing back soldiers from the front
will have the effect of providing suf-
ficent farm labor practically immed-
lately. In announcing the War 0fice's
consent to the transfers, an expert
told the Agricultural Society that in
England and Scotland, as we'll as in
Ireland the farm in many districts
had fallen far below their minimum
needs in the matter of labor.
The tendency to regard more SER.
iously the country's capacity for
growing larger crops is illustrated by
the figures OF. the wheat, barley aud
oats crops in England and Wales.
Wheat and oats were grown in larger
quantities, though the barley crops

contracted by the fair association, was
heard by Judge Carl Davis in district
court yesterday afternoon. Argument
in the case was postponed until Tues
day, at which time the attorneys are
to file their briefs, followed by argu-
mentS.
Judge Davis held in the opening of

that the bills were legitimate, as they
We're bills pertaining to the premium
list and exhibits which the commission
ers had authorized.
NO SPECIAL LEVY.
Mr.. Coffin was placed upon the stand
and testified that there was no special
levy made by the county commissioners
for fair purposes and that he had OBJ
jected to the payment of the bills upon
the grounds that they were not proper
bills before the county. Mr.. Coffin WIS
asked by Judge Blake If he had object
ed at all times to the paying of the
Syms- York bills. which amounted TO
over $500, to which he answered he ia =
vored their payment, as they were for
the premium list which he considered
legal obligation of the county, but as
to the other bills for tents. advertising,
ETC., he felt they should have been paid
by the Gem State fair and not by the
county
After the testimony of Mr.. Coffin the
court adjourned asking that the argu-
ment be made on Tuesday.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL FIGHT.
NOT THE RAILROADS. QUARREL
WHAT REAL FIGHT is.


The fight has. in a large
measure. resolved itself into n
community dispute as to who is
to control the trade OF the in
termountain section. So far as
the carriers are concerned, ii is
the belief that they have, in a
large measure. become reconcil-
ed to the decision Of the inter-
state commerce commission that
the rates to the intermountain
points should not exceed the
percentage prescribed in fourth
section order 1874.
In the meantime, the inter-
mountain territory is compelled
to pay higher freight rates from
the eastern points than Is the
coast. In other words, the in
termountain territory is helping
to pay the freight charges.of the
Pacific coast for the privilege
of competing with them, simply
because the government chose
to build the Panama canal.
this viewpoint II will then ap-
pear that the Panama canal was
built solely for the benefit Of
the Pacific coast, and that from
transportation standpoint no
benefits should accrue by rea-
son of the Panama canal to the
intermountain territory" Ex-
cert from statement of Axel P.
Ramstedt, president of the Ida
no public utilities commission
on long and short haul case.
