Agriculture in the Future.

Nations now at war will not forever engage
in fighting, and even with the armies in the field,
economists and politicians at home are planning
against the day when the noise and the gas and
all the elements Of destruction will be hushed and
done away with. In Canada a genuine boom in
agriculture is anticipated after the war; and the
government Of the Dominion, as well as of the
several provinces, is making plans against the
time. In New Brunswick, for example, the lands
that will be available for settlement are being
surveyed and divided on an established plan, with
an eye to the needs Of the farmers and the farm
communities Of the future. The general scheme
is one that will be found attractive, especially
by men of small means, who are seeking in agri.
culture an opportunity for employment. and the
future Of Canadian farming may be in some way
affected by it.
OF more immediate interest to the American
farmer, perhaps, is the future Of Russia. The
wheat fields OF lower Russia have long been the
principal rivals Of the United States, even with
the restrictions forced on Russian commerce by
England and Germany, 1t is not improbable that
the more oppressive of these restrictions will be
removed as one result of the war. This, with
modern methods Of farming will bring Russia
into the European field on better terms than ever.
Still more significant is the fact that for at
least decade western Siberia has been under
going transformation that is not generally
understood by the world outside. For ten years
at least immigration to Siberia has been around
100000 year, the settlers for the most part tax
ing up agriculture. The Russian government has
quietly encouraged this movement, as well as
the establishing of the farmers on basis of con-
tent. Great expansion in this region is looked
for when peace comes.
These and other similar movements affect
the American farmer in that, as production in
creases elsewhere, his market is cut off, In
general the progress Of agriculture in the remote
regions of the world is interesting, because II
meets the proposition that consumption has been
oyertaking production at rate that bodied i'll
for the future. 1t will be a long time before
the world goes hungry because it cannot produce
enough to feed all.

filmy shadow laces-the negligee
of ones dreams.
1t was on a Friday, about 2.
that the summons came. Phyllis
had thought she expected 1t, but
when the call came to her over
the library telephone she found
herself as badly frightener as she
had been the first time she went
to the Harrington house.
Mrs. Harrington cannot last
out the night" came Mrs. De
Guenther's voice over the tele-
phone. II have arranged with
Mr.. Johnston. You can go at
once. You had better pack
suit case, for you possibly may
not be able to get back to your
boarding place."
So 1t was to happen now! ,
Phyllis felt her feet taking her
swiftly towards her goal, as II
she were offering herself to be
made a nun, or paying herself
away In some awful, irrevocable
fashion. She packed mechani-
cally.
Then she went. She always re-
membered that journey as long
as she lived; her hands and feet
and tongue going on, buying
tickets, giving directions - and
her mind, like a naughty child,
catching at everything as they
went, and screaming to be allow
ed to go back home, back to the
dusty matter-of-course library
and the dreary little boarding
house bed rooml
They were all waiting for her
in Allan's great dark room. Mrs.

ished and put back on the shelf.
Only once in a while would come
to her the vision of the wistful
Harrington wolfhound following
his inadequate patch Of sunlight,
or of the dusky room where Allan
Harrington lay inert and white,
and looking like wonderful
carved statue on tomb.
She began to do little to her
clothes, but not very much, be-
cause she had neither time nor
money. Mr.. De Guenther had
wanted her to take some money
in advance, but she had refused.

ther with a little wistful
smile. Nobody will know
what l have on, any moro
than they do now"
Mrs. De Guenther gave a scan
dalized little cry.
my dear child" she replied
firmly, you are going to have
one pretty frock and one really
good street suit now, or l will
know why. Nonsense!-you can
get halliday, as you call 1t, per-
fectly well! What's Albert In

And, in effect, 1t proved that
Albert was in politics to some
purpose for orders came up from
the head office within go minutes
after Mrs. De Guenther had used
the telephone on her husband,
that Miss Braithwaite was to
have a halliday Immediately.
Phyllis bought docilely what
ever her guide directed, and
woke from species of gentle
daze at the afternoons end to
find Mrs. De Guenther beaming
with the weary rapture of the sue
cessful shopper, and herself the
proprietress Of a blue velvet
walking suit, a hat to match, a
pale blue evening frock, a pale
green between dress, with lovely
clinging lines, and a heavenly
s~ans thing with rosy ribbons and

ing no answer at all. Phyllis
wondered how 1t would feel to
have that done to you for a term
of years. The result Of her won
derment was a decision to forgive
her unenthusiastic ruture bride
groom for what she had at first
been ready to slap him.
Presently Mrs. Harrlngton's
breath tagged, and the three
women went away, back to the
room they had been in before.
Phyllis sat and let herself be
talked to for a little longer. Then
she rose impulsively.
May l go back and see your
son again for just a minute?" she
asked, and had gone before Mrs.
Harrington had finished her per-
mission. She darted into the
dark room before her courage
had time to fail, and stood by
the white couch again.
Mr.. Harrington" she said
clearly, "I'm sorry you're tired,
but I'm afraid l am going to have
to ask you to listen to me. You
know, don't you, that your moth
er plans to have me marry you,
for sort of interested head
nurse. Are you willing to have
1t happen?"
The heavy white lids half lifted
again.
II don't mind" said Allan Har-
rington listlessly. II suppose you
are quiet and trustworthy, or De
Guenther wouldn't have sent you.
1t will give mother little peace
and it makes no difference to
me-"
He closed his eyes and the sub
ject at the same time.
We'll, then, that's all right"
said Phyllis cheerfully, and start
ed to go. Then, drawn back by
a sudden, nervous temper i'm
pulse, she moved back on him.
And let me tell you," she added,
half laughing, half impertinently,
that II YOU ever get into my
quiet, trustworthy clutches you
may have an awful time. You're
very spoiled invalid"
She whisked out of the room
| before he could have gone very
far with his reply. apparently. He
lay unmoved and unmoving.
Phyllis discovered, poising
breathless on the threshold, that
somehow she had seen his eyes.
They had been a little like the
wolf-hound's, sort Of wistful
gold-brown.
For some reason she found
that Allan Harrington's attitude
of absolute detachment made the
whole affair seem much easier
for her. And when Mrs. Harring-
ton slipped solitaire diamond
into her hand as she went, in
stead of disliking 1t she enjoyed
its feel on her finger, and the
flash of it in the light. She
thanked Mrs. Harrington for It
with real gratitude. But it
made her feel more than ever en-
gagged to marry her mother-in-
law.
She walked home rather silent
ly with Mrs. De Guenther. Only
at the foot of the De Guenther
steps she made an absent re-
mark:
"He must have been delight
full" she said, when he was
alive!"
