DIVER 14.OOO ACRES OF IDLE
LAND SAID TO BE IN LONDON

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The scarcity Of
foodstuffs has led the Board of Agricul-
ture to empower local authorities to
use vacant building land for food
crops. The Vacant Land Cultivation
Society, pet scheme of the late JOS
eph Fels, who was widely known in
the United States, has already been
entrusted by the government with the
whole work in London, and will be able
through the London County Council, to
acquire any untaxed land that is suit
able. The society allots small pieces
of land to families for cultivation
purposes. At present the society has
about 800 holders working some eighty
acres around London.
Apart from public gardens and
parks there are $4,000 acres of idle
land in London, and experience has
shown that London land is capable of
producing at war prices well over
$500 worth of food per acre. So great
is the public interest in the scheme
that the Vacant Land Society is being
showed under by applications from
every kind of person, many of them
land hungry" countrymen settled in
London.

This should be lesson. Reports are
current that the work is still going on.
Sad news comes from the eastern and
northern states concerning the happi-
ness and health of the negroes who
have gone. One has found Connect

with a crime in this county, and now
he is resisting his return to Georgia
demanding requisition papers. That is
his legal right.
The negro who has gone to the
north need not ask for sympathy at
home" If he finds the error of his
way, and surely he will, then he must
pay the price.
