ENGLISH CROPS
CUT BY FROSTS
And DROUGHTS
Labor Short, Too. Cable
from British Ministry
Tells Hoover.

The food production situation In
England IL outlined In q cable received
yesterday by the Food Administration
from the British ministry Of food, IN
dicating that the season Of anxiety
is not yet over. Drouth, early frosts
and Iabor shortage win cut home pro-
diction below previous estimates. The
cable says:
British agriculturalists have been
seriously concerned about drought
which checked the growth Of wheat
here for six weeks, particularly on
light soils. Barley and oats also suf-
fered, as well as root-crops. and even
potatoes were retarded by cold wea-
ther and lack Of rain. Luckily the
weather has not broken and rain IL
plentiful
Nevertheless II still looks as though
early optimism about the possibility
of the wheat crops in the United
owing to difficulties Of newly broken
ground and lack Of labor.
Women and ChiIdren Worse
"True, women and children are being
rapidly recruited for the Forthcoming
harvest; but even with the help OF
urban holiday-makers and German
prisoners, farmers are skeptical that
they will be able to get in all that
they have raised.
''owing to early frosts and insect
attacks on fruit. the food controller
is now battling with an utterly un-
foreseen shortage Of jam for our
armies and civilian populations. There
is still a shortage of cheese. and lard
has just been formally rationed. Hogs.
too, have not been raised as rapidly
on this side of the Atlantic as was
hoped, owing to the abnormally higt
prices demanded for breeding sows
and weaving pigs. This, too, in srite
Of a great outburst Of municipal en-
| terprise.
Generally, the food situation is
better. but the season Of anxiety Il
not yet over"

Among the Porto Tttcan laborers who
are being transported to America To

men OF sixty years or more.
one Of the most Interesting and ut
tn" same time pathetic sights connect
ed with the moving OF these great
numbers OF men to the United States
is the eagcrpesS Of the old men to
reach what they consider a land OF
promise. They have worked in the
island for the whole term Of their ex-
istence without a thought that thew
would ever be able to leave IL. until
now the wars demands have provided
them with opportunities in a new
country.
When the first change came the
local office of the department. of labor
IN ST. Juan was almost wamp with
eager applicants for the jobs in Amer

dstions are similar to. these in Porto
