IRISH TO AUGMENT
THE FOOD SUPPLY

Dublin, Ireland Feb. "a large
section of the land i'll the possession
of the congestcd districts board in
the west and other parts of Ireland
is to be put under tillage as one step
to solve the food production problem
in Ireland. Steps will also be taken
by the local government board to see
that all allotmcnts attached to labor
ers' cottages throughout the country
are titled in the spring.
The question of compulsory tillage
of grass lands is also under cOnsidera-
ton, as we'll as the guarantee Of a
fixed price for wheat and oats to en-
courage farmers to increase their crops
of these cereals
100000 Acres Available.
The Weekly Freeman says of these
measures:
THE lands on the hands of the board
and the commissioners cannot be far
short of 100000 acres, and, making
allowances for turbary, rough grazing,
ETC., the extent available for tilling
cannot be less than half that, or 200,-
900 acres"
The classes among whom these
lands are to be distributed are al
ready qualified agriculturists, being
tenants of small holdings, sons of ten
ants, tenants who surrendered their
original holdings in order to relieve
congestion, evicted tenants, and agri-
cultural laborers provided for under
the laborers' act of 1906.
This will virtually be carrying out
the recommendation of the committee
of the Irish party SO far as the lands
now in the control Of those two boards
are concerned.
Potato Export Halted.
The export Of potatoes, except on
military requisition, has been all but
stopped. That is satisfactory so far
as it goes. Mr.. Russell, president of
the department of agriculture, .sug-
gests that the high prices Of potatoes
in Dublin would be relieved by the
northern farmers sending to this city
potatoes they cannot export.
Dublin prices are one and one-third
times those at the northern markets.
That would help to relieve prices in
to MI IN, ntbn 7
while it would improve the profits of
the northern farmers.
Two statements of Mr.. Russells will
cause some uneasiness. The potatoes
stored in the pits, are doing we'll, but
there is, nevertheless, some apprehen-
sion that they may not all hold good.
The military requisition officers also
claim minimum supply of thous-
and tons month.
II discretion is not shown in the
requisitioning of supplies it may pref
udice to serious extent the food
production of next year. 1t is easy,
too, for the food controller to make
serious plumbers in dealing with Ire
land.
Any interference with the direction
of the country's crop yield must lead
to an immediate reduction in the
quantities OF eggs, milk, butter, meat
and live stock available for export to
Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Senate and house conferees on the food con trol bill made such substantial pro- gress today that complete agreement seemed probable by tomorrow. The conferees virtually agreed to strike out the plan for a congressional joint committee on war expenditures, oppos- ed by President Wilson and to accept the senate amendment authorizing the president to fix the price of coal and coke and to take over mines. There was also a virtual agreement on the senate amendment to regulate th< making of contracts for the govern ment by the defense councils advis- ors.
 Sentiment regarding the liquor amendments seemed to be that con gress should be satisfied to put the ban on whiskey, to authorize the com mondeering of distilled spirits in bond so far as necessary for government purposes and to authorize the presi- dent to prohibit the making of beer and light wines if he chose
 What the decision would be between the senate provision for a food com mission of three and the house au- thorization for one food administrator remained uncertain.

 The total number of flowing wells in the vicinity of San Simon in 1915 was 127. The flow of these wells ranged from less than gallon to about 300 gallons minute, and the average flow from 116 wells measured in 1915 52 gallons minute The combined yield of the 127 wells if they flowed continuously would be about 15 secondfeet, 6,7O0 gallons minute Con- parison of the flows of 12 wells measured in 1913 and 1915 shows that in two the aggregate yield of these wells decreased 45 cent and that individual wells showed decreases in flow ranging from 20 to so per cent This decrease is attributed largely to the filling of the uncased wells with sand and the cavng of the walls of these wells but in to the depletion of the artesan supply. The geoogsts regard it of the importance the welfare of the valley that all wells be properly cased to the bottom with heavy casing and fitted with valves which should be closed when the water is not needed.

CERARD'S STORY OF WAR LIKELY
 TO STIR BERLIN

| WASHINGTON, July -zI.-iiow all untrammeled and uncensored press is used by the United States government for the general dissemination of infor- nation it wants the people to get this is the lesson European chancel- leries may learn from the forthcoming publication, in newspaper serial form in the Los Angeles Examiner, of Am bassador Gerard's -Four Years in Germany"
 In place of the green books and blue books" and "red books" and ''yel- low books which are issued by the European governments, containing ponderous explanations, in the suited language of diplomacy why certain actions were taken, the American gov ornament is telling its people Why we are at war with Germany" in good, crisp coloquial American, frightened with humor, and worked into a story as romantic as a novel, though every word of it true.
 Tradition ruled in the case of the selection of Gerard as ambassador to Berlin, that tradition being that shrewdness and brains should be tho criterion, rather than large means. Our country long before thought of war had learned of the devious ways of German diplomacy and the list of ambassadors shows some of the bright est stars in the galaxy of our diplo- matic service. Judge Gerard was known as a successful lawyer, judge of the supreme court of New York, and an all around man. much of the Theodore Roosevelt type of outspoken- ness, and so he was chosen to go to Berlin, as a sea captain picks his keenest sighted men to watch for sub marines.
