derstood by q reference to its his
tory. 1t must be remembered first
that up to the time of the passing OF
the great reform bill in 1892, land
in this country was source Of great
political power.
"The bills effect in transferring
the basis Of power from land owner
ship was manifested gradually, and
that depression which was the great
est catastrophe in the history Of agri-
culture did not begin until the end
Of the seventies. That was with the
fall in the price III wheat to twenty
four shillings a quarter, and of corn
and other farm produce in proper
ton Farming, OF course, ceased to
be a business proposition.
Millions or pounds were lost. and
Thousands OF farmers were absolutely
.mrncu Conditions remained very

Owing to a variety Of causes an
improvement occurred bet"tcn 1900
and 1905 This improvement was
being maintained and was increasing
when the war broke out. Although
It had placed the farmer 50 he was
making a good commercial profit ten
years before the war, every year saw
less land under cultivation and more
acres devoted to grass. The increase
In the areas going to grass was due
to the fact that farmers could make
a good living in that way with less
risk, and the memory of the terrible
experience Of the depression"

Lord Selborne will have some
thing to do with the revival Of agri-

signed his place as president of the
board of agriculture, as the prime

struction Of agriculture after the war,
Speaking before the Agricultural

said:

Increased food production uring
the war is sacre national duty. The
man on Hampshire farm can strike
a blow for England equally with his

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
complehending Il great Issue, less firm

houses, and for multiplication Of

ITALIANS TO BUILD
CATHOLIC CHURCH
Fund Of $4,000 for the Pur-
pose is Started Off with
Nearly $1,100.

The Reverend Father Francis Laur-
en8ano has been here for one week and
II seems that during that short time he
ha sheen able TO captivate the Italian
colony by his attainment, tact and
untiring efforts In the work for tho
spreading of the Holy Seed.
II Is pleasure to know and to meet
Father Laurenzano. He has been able
to get the cooperation OF the best
Italians in the city OF Clarksburg and
community for his projects and under
his guidance theer Is no doubt but
that the accomplishment OF an Italian
Catholic church in this community will
at last DO a realization.
Sunday night he held conference
on East Main street which was tho
first OF series OF such conferences
and In gathering OF fifty he succeed
ed in securing subscription OF nearly
100. AT the gathering a number OF
the most prominent Italians were APP
pointed on subscription committee
and 1t may not be an exaggerated
statement at this time to say that
$4,000 will be readily subscribed to
for the purpose OF building the said
church.
Father Laurenzano is an enthusiasts
tic speaker and readily infuses his au-
dience with enthusiasm. II is a pleas
ure to hear him and the writer feels
confident of the success OF the en-
terprise headed by the Rev. Father
Laurenzano.

RYE HAY
Cutting Time is Explained by
William D. Zinn, the
County Agent.

More than fifty farmers have called
on the county agent during the last
few days to know at what stage they
should cut their rye for hay.
The growing OF rye for hay is such
new thing that our stations have
little or no data on the subject. w. d.
zinn, the writer, has cut 1t when 1t
was Just coming in head, when all the
heads we're out and when in bloom and
1t is his opinion, though he cannot
prove It by any station reports, that It
will be relished more and digested bet
ter II II is cut about the time It comes
into head. A greater tonnage, how
ever, will be obtained II the rye Is left
until about ready to come into bloom.
A great many fields should be cut this
week. Some that was sown late or
have been pastured heavily may go
over until next week and possibly until
the last of the same. 1t does not seem
to be injured much by getting wet
though, OF course, 1t is desirable to put
It up without rain IL possible. 1t may
be stacked outside but like all other
rough food 1t is better IL housed.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Revlsed
figures on the army reorganization
bill as agreed upon by House and SEN
ate conferees. and submitted to the
Senate Tuesday by Chairman CHAM

$4,000 staff troops. Philippine scouts
and unassigned recruits and that the
war strength will be 236, officers
and combatant troops which with

bring the maximum strength OF the
regular army up to 261,500 The ma
tional guard as reorganized would to-
tai $4,000, making a total of 49,
500 available.
