CROP CONDITIONS
IN ENGLAND
SHOW INCREASE
FOOD STAPLES
(By Associated Press. J

London. Feb 2.-Agricultural sta
tistics for 1916 relating to England
and Wales have just been issued by
the Board of Agriculture. They show
why. apart from the growing difficulty
of obtaining supplies from overseas,
special attention is devoted to increas-
ing the home production of certain
food staples. more particularly wheat,
potatoes and pigs.
The area under wheat in 1916
amounted to 1,912,20S acres, being
257,962 acres. or about II per cent less
than in the previous year. The area
under potatoes last year was 427,-
946 acres. 35,451 acres below that OF
1915. The total number of pigs raised
was 2,167,941, decline of 252.0S6, or
nearly ten and half per cent as
compared with the preceding year.
On the other hand the total num-
ber of cattle returned last year was
6.215,7S1, the largest number recorded
since returns were collected and
showing an increase of 151,627 over
the total of 1915. English people are
the greatest consumers of mutton in
the world and it is satisfactory to note
that the total number last year was
317951.123. an icrease of 42S.546 as
compared with the preceding year.
The total number of horses on agricul-
tural holdings was 1.359,56S. an In
crease of five and half per cent.
The total area of land in England
and Wales is 371S7,5s4 acres. OF this
11.051. .1O1 were returned as arabic
land. 1s.O22. sS3 acres as permanent
grass, and s,s16,0S3 acres as mountain
and heath land used for grazing last
wear. These figures indicate an In
crease of s5.394 acres Of trable land
and a decrease of e4.41o in permanent
grass. while rough CRAVINGS increased
by 51.377 acres. The total area re
turned as bare fallow in 1916 was
421.sss acres. or 112.247 acres In e1
cess OF 1915.

CARRANZA LEAVFS PRESI-
DENTAL CHAIR AT home
FOR FIRST TIME

Ciudad Juarez, Chih., Mex, Feb. 8.
For the first time since he seized the
power as first chief, Carranza has
left the fateful presidential chair In
Mexico City. In his numerous jour-
ncys over the country he has always
carried the phantom chair" with
him When he came to Queretaro to
attend the constitutional convention
lew in session he left the chair In
the palace AS the symbol of power
the chair has a romantic history.
Out OF the turmoil of bloody revofu>
tions eleven men have attainted tho
chair. One was assassinated. two
died In foreign lands. and most OF
the others are In exile.
At one time Pedro Lascurain oe-
cupied the chair as president for
forty-ive minutes. He was forced
from the throne by Huerta.
The chair is simply upholstered In
red plush The symbolic golden
eagle clutching a serpent is the only
decoration. Yet II is the dream Of
every ambitious Mexican from jefe
TO general.

OF WARSHIP CUT
fBy Associated Press. }

Melbourne. Australia, Feb. 2.-The
Minister for the Navy. j. A. Jensen,
in an address before Parliament has
just disclosed the fact that some per-
sons unknown. "but presumably mem
bers of the Industrial Workers Of the
World" cut all the electric connec-
tions on board the newest Australian
warship, the crusier Brisbane. while
she was in the navy shipyard at
Ccckatoo Island Sydney. last fall.
ITe said: "The persons who did II
are not known but I instructed the
manager that any members of the I.
w. W. found working at the island
should be dismissed. In addition to
the cost of repairing the serious dam
age done the department has been put
TO a great deal OF expense in providing
special detective at the yard.
Special interest attaches to the Bris-
bane because she is the first armored
cruiser to have been constructed en-
itirely by Australian labor.
