Old English Estates Sold.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Britannia still rues the waves, but be-
meath the waves lie unseen ~terrors,
menacing the nations commerce., it's food
supply, it's very life. The nation cannot
trust its sea borne trade low. 1t must
utilize every possible means to provide
the necessary sustenanee for its armies,
and for those wing supply the fighting
men. And the British government rises
to the occasion.
Before the war Lloyd George fought
long and we'll to compel Undertaking up
of old estates, to make possible the Guilt
walton of land long idle, to give the
laborer a chance at the soil. He failed,
for the British are conservative by in
stinct, and the old way seemed easiest.
They ave learned their lesson now.
In three years past the British govern
Haent has taken over outright no less
than 100000 acres Of British soil, pur-
chasing some, renting more. 1t has, in
deed, found necessary the establishment
of a great department to handle this
work Of national regeneration. 1t is a
great change, and one that should not be
regretted. The E~gland which makes
peace will not be the England of its
fathers, but a better one.

WESTERN CANADA'SS
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never In the history Of Western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. The
weather during the month of April
was perfect for seeding operations,
and from early morning until late at
night the seeders were at work, and
every acre that could be pr0ftablE
sown was placed under requisition.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign Of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu-
nifty for neutrality-suspicious.. and as a
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be a vastly in
creased yield. They realized it was a
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land, not
only this year but next as we'll. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
In dollars and cents.
In many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the list Of May, after
which date oats and barley on larger
acreages than usual were planted.
As has been said, favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation, and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture in the
soil has been added to by rains, which
have not been Sc heavy, however, as to
interfere long with the work in the
fields. The grain is terminating read
lily, and on many fields the young green
blades Of the cereal are already show
Ing. -
An optimistic feeling prevails among
farmers that Western Canada will reap
a record harvest. If the season from
now on is as favorable as it has begun,
these hopes should be realized. Mr..
]. D. McGregor Of the Federal Food
Board, who is also an old and success
full farmer in Western Canada, assert
ed a few days ago at Calgary that crop
conditions throughout the Prairie
Provinces were excellent. Speaking
generally" he said, "the crops have
never gone into the groSnd in better
shape than this year, and with an
even break of luck as far as the wealth
err is concerned, there should be an
enormous crop" His present duties in
connection with the Food Control
Board, taking him in all parts Of the
West, Mr.. McGregor has exceptional
opportunities Of observing conditions
all over the country.-Advertisement

Mine SWEEPERS PLAY
AN IMPORTANT PART
Their Work Always Dangerous
Is Rendered More So
By the Wind.

London, (by mail).-When the story
of the humble mine sweeper II Judy
told, many stirring pages will be added
to the history of anti-submarine war
fare, for this little craft is sharing
the work of the dashing destroyer and
chaser" in running down u-boais. A
mine sweeper submersible has been
accounted for by them.
According to official reports, there
are 40 times more mine sweepars in
| commission today in the servicetof the
| allies than in July, 1914.
Recently a fleet Of six, all trawlers,
sighted a mine adrift. The rough sea
prevented the boats from sinking the
mine by gunfire, darkness was coming
on, and there was a possibility of To-
sing it. So the commander approached
the mine in a small boat, and when
within some distance Of the drifting
menace he t,ok to the water and swan
the rest of the way. Attaching a line
to the mine, he returned to his boat
and towed it ashore, where it was ex-
ploded by rifle fire.
Often days elapse before a mine
stroyed. In a terrific gale, with noun
which has been discovered can be de-
famous seas runnings a party of mine
sweepers found a nest of eight mines.
The boats We're unable TO use thelr
guns on them and as night came on
the little vessels lay to in imminent
danger of being washed onto the n
gines Of death. Next day two Of the
mines were sung by gunfire, but one OF
the sweepers was lost-hoW, the re-
port does not state. 1t was not until
the evening OF the fourth day that the
last of the mics was exploded.
The trawler Manx King, hauled UP
a mine in such a dangerous position
that one horn of the mine came within
a few inches of the boats rail and an
other was almost touching the gear.
The slightest roll of the vessel would
have caused it's destruction. The diff
ficulty was met by lashig the mine to
the sweeper;--so that it could not be
bumped against tn siede, and experts
were summoned to remove the dton-
ators from the dangerous prize.

Don Luis placed his electric Ian
tern on a cask in such a way as
to send the light right up to the

nothing but an arsenal of old
pickaxes, rakes and disused
scythes, he attributed what had
happened to some animal, to some
stray cat and, to make sure, he
walked quickly to the ladder and
went up.

when he reached the level Of the
