food shortage conditions from her neil
IgrbOr, Holland. this year.
Crops have suffered severely
Throughout the country. from lack Of
rain. Only so per cent of the normal
rainfall was recorded throughout
Holland during May and the first
part of June, when many crops were
in the critical stages, and the results
are apparent now. Severe late frosts
killed beans and potatoes in the north
east provinces.
Forage for livestock will be very
scarce this winter. the hay crop being
hit hard by drought and the oats

by dry weather, did great damage.

There is a possibility that Senator
Z Lewis may be kent abroad for Two
months or more TO carry through the
work mapped out for him by the
President. and if he is so detained he
will occupy unique position as a can

1t is the best opinion of officials
