lacking to place those resources

that thing is ships.

EHGllND's ECONOMIC STATE.
BONAR LAW DEFENDS WORK OF
GOVERNMENT.
Great Britain I'm Last Year Placed
Eight Hundred Thousand Men in
Army and Employed Seven Hun
dred Thousand at Home and Eight
Hundred Thousand Women at
Home.

London. Feb. 1S.-Andrew Bonar
Law. chancellor OF the exchequer and
government leader in the house OF
commons, replying to criti,i OF
the government with respect to it's
home policy. said that in 1917 the
national service department has put
into the army S20.645 additional men
and placed in employment at home
$4,000 men and $4,000 women.
Referring to the food production ne
said that the cereal produ ction i'm
England in 1917 amounted to $50, 900
tons. and in addition the country had
produced an extra S.0O0,OOO tons OF
potatoes.
England. said the chancellor, was
the only country in the war where
there had not been a dlminution in
food production. A million additional
p acres were being put under the plow.
This year s00.000 acres more lad been
cultivated In England and 1000
more In Scotland and Ireland. The
total stocks of wheat in Great Brit
ain at the end OF December 1917, ex-
ce<ded those at the end of December.
1916. by 100000 quarters. In 1917
there was built in Great Britain l.
1e3.474 tons of shipping and 17O,-
900 tons were obtained from abroad.
The chancellor explained that the
premiers estimate of ship construction
was not realized because the govern
ment had arranged to have a large
quantity of tonnage built in America
but when America came into the war
she preferred. as the British would
have preferred to take the tonnage
herself. But the tonnage was there.

said that. in spite OF the dirnunition
In ships and in spite OF the fact that
Great Britain had lent 100000
gross tons for the use OF her allies in
September. October and November.
the nation had actually imported the
same amount as has been imported
from February to April. is
IL had been suggested. said the
chancellor. that because America had
entered the war. Great Britain ought |
to have to spend less. Amer ca has
given great help not only to Great
Britain's allies but to Britain herself,
for which Britain could not be too
grateful.

Two years.
with an average application of 1,000
pounds per acre acre for tobacco of VorIr
&c. we produced last year $50 pounds,
per acre TINS year our crop will easily
yleld l,lO0 pounds per acre. Consider
ING tnat the two seasons have been the
worst ever known III this section on ac-
count OF excessive rains and that the
sol ION this farm is in Il very poor state
OF fertility owing 20 neglect of former
owners, we are more than pleased with
the results obtained.
WIN llndest personal regards and
be-. i1hes for the continued uccess C
