celvable type of animal, while men and
women who never put their hand to
a plough before have learned to do
the work in the submarine emergency.
The Irish Department of Agriculture
has thrown all it's executive machinery
into the effort to increase the tillage
enormously and has obtained decree
under the Defense of the Realm Act
making certain minimum percentage
compulsory on every farmer in Ireland
holding more than ten acres of land.
This novel law requires that every
farmer must till at least 10 per cent
OF the arabic part of his holdings in
addition to whatever amount he titled
last year, unless he is already cult
waiting SO per cent of his land, in
which case he is not obliged to do
more. There are 100000 holdings to
which this regulation applies, with an
arabic area of 14,500,OOO acres.
The departments county commit
tees, which have for years been or
ganized in every county of ireland,
have stopped all other work and put
their experts and administrative stats
on the sole work of food production.
They have organized special commit
tees in every parish and are MOBILIZE
ing all the available supplies of seeds,
manures and implements. Machinery
for saving labor is to be made to go
as far as possible by system of To-
cal exchange.
Few people realize what tremen-
dous asset Ireland has been to Eng
land during the war as a reservoir of
foodstuffs.
In the year before the war Eng
lands imports of foodstuffs from her
leading sources of supply were as fol-
lows: United States, 100000
pounds sterling; Ireland, 100000
pounds sterling; Argentine, 100000
pounds; Denmark, 31,O0O,OO0 pounds;
India, 100000 pounds; Canada, 49,
100000 pounds.
The war has disturbed this balance
somewhat, bringing in greater supplies
from America, but Ireland has also in
creased her output, and the imports of
food from that island in 1915, the lat
est figures available, show a total of
100000 pounds.

County Armagh are settling them
selves to the work of tillage with a
will. Two privately owned motor
plows are already at work in the coun-
ty. 1t is expected that there will be
no shortage of seed. This has always
been good tillage county, and the
extra tillage requirement is only lit
tie more than what it has been the
custom to do.
This district is one in which there has
always been a fair proportion of til
lage. This year, generally speaking,
all are inclined to do as much as they
possibly can. At Killarney Lord Ken
mare has motor pillow almost contin-
uously at work; and tho Urban Coun-
Gil, with their own horses and plows,
are busily engaged in a 25-acre field
for town allotments
County MISUNDERSTANDING speak
ing, the farmers of County Kilkenny
appear to be willing to do everything
possible to meet the requirements of
the Regulation. There has been a re-
markable demand for plows and Gull
tivators during the past few weeks.
Captain or-Wandesforde, Castle
conner, has a motor tractor and plow,
which he intends to hire to the farm
ers of his own parish and the surround
ing districts. The guaranteed prices
for the 1917 crops are considered very
reasonable.
County Mayo.-Breaking up of grass
land for oats and potatoes is going on
fairly we'll in County Mayo. A good
deal of land has been let in conacre
for tillage. There has been a great
demand for plows = one Castelar,
agent has sold about 80 up to the pres
| ent.
County Antrim.-Tillage operations
have been carried on steadily during
the past few weeks all over the Coun-
] ty Antrim. Even in the districts of
the county always intensively cult
waited the farmers have made arrange
ments to till an extra acreage this
year. In the Islandmagee district
(where the land had been largely iii
grass) farmers who never plowed be-
fore are busily engaged There will
be lot of extra tillage in the Glens
by farmers who did not come under
the compulsory clauses.
County Louth.-The work of prepar-
ing the ground for oats and barley was
pushed on most vigorously last week,
and some farmers in South Louth have
finished sowing these crops. Servings
of spring wheat were also carried out
during the week. Potato planting will
put well over SO per cent of their
arabic land under cultivation.

A correspondent has sent us clip
pings from the Scranton Times, Scran-
ton, Pa, containing articles by spe-
cial correspondent of that paper in
Ireland. We hope to give the articles
in full in our next issue. The follow
ing extracts will give some idea of
conditions in Ireland as told in this
uncensored correspondence:
That famine stares the peasantry of
Connaught is grim reality. Its cause
and effect are attributed to the in
dolence and laziness of the Irishmen
themselves. There appears to be no
truth in this statement. The people
do not know, and have no means of
knowing, that the Irish government
is responsible for this calumny. The
fact is that Ireland is not allowed to
speak for herself to America, or to
the world; England speaks for her.
All Irish news goes abroad through
English channels. AS consequence
we do not get a true vision of Irish
happenings. We get the vision the
English want us to get. Every news

The above conditions must convince
the reader that Ireland is in very
disturbed state of mind. 1t is official
and intellectual Ireland we find in the
vanguard of every movement having
for it's purpose the conservation of the

pie, the volunteers, and the official bod
les of the country seem to act in stimuli

THAT is one of our perfect systems
of communications. It puzzles and
perplexes Dublin castle. We could not
trust her telephone or telegraph sys-
tenn. We can trust ourselves. The
Dublin uprising opened our eyes. We
can mobilize in any part Of Ireland,
outside of Dublin, much quicker than
can England. There are at this mo-
ment 5000 volunteers in motion; they
are distributed through south and
southeast, some in the west and north
west, doing precisely what you see us
doing here today-honoring those Of
fetal bodies who honor Ireland, and
planning the interest of the plain peo-
pie above selfishness and petty pob-
berry. We are not mercenaries nor
hirelings. We have a country and
principle to fight for. We are not go
ing to lie down and wait for famine
to overtake us. We prefer to die fight
ing for Ireland than to die of starva-
ton in Ireland. We are fully aware
of the seriousness of our position. We
are ready and determined to meet the
consequences. We got seventy-five
