AN AGRICULTURAL DILEMMA.
Plenty Of Hay in New England But Not
Men ENOUGH to Cut Il.

With hay bumper crop" in central
and western Massachusetts, and the price
of the product at $40 ton. agriculture
in that part of New England ought not
to be so much of a joke this year as it
has sometimes been regarded Hay is
the principal crop of New England a
Connecticut valley farm could be named
by the present writer which markets as
much as 400 tons of hay in a single
good season. and if that farm does as
wei as that this year, and $40 ton is
realized for the product, the return must
be regarded as representing very re-
spectacle business, not to be seorned by
many small merchant. However, the
bumper hay crop may not be an I'M
alloyed joy, We read in letter from
Great Darlington to the Springfield Re
publican that many acres of hay are go
ing to ruin in that town because there is
no help with which to harvest it, mo
farm help to be had" is the word from
Great Darlington; and if the farmers
themselves, with the aid of their women
folks or their children, if they have any,
cannot harvest the crops, they will go to
waste.
Such situation as that raises anew
the old question as to whether American
agriculture win not have to be organ
ICED on an entirely new basis Farm
labor grows more and more scarce Il
looks as If for some years it would be
almost altogether wanting. Probably
the limit of production in labor saving
machinery has been reached, for though
the motor, especially for purposes Of
traction, has been advantageous intro
duced. il saves labor only by making
practicable more labor; it is of no use
for farmer to plough up lot of land
with a tractor unless he is going to have
help enough to cultivate the ground
Large farming is about the only kind
that pays, and large farming requires
labor. No longer has the farmer three
or four stalwart sons TO work for him.
The family has dwindled, and his boy
if he has one, will not stay on the farm
Maud Muller no longer rakes the mead
ow, sweet with hay. In fact, in Great
Darlington, it appears, the meadow is
not being raked at all
In this situation but two reeourscs for

mander of the lst division, quickly went
to his aid. Witnesses of the ceremony
say General McGlachlin kissed the young

WAR DEPT. POLICY CRITICIZED
AS lie Relates to Effecting Reorganization
of National Guard.

Washington, July 25-The war de-
partment's policy effecting the reorgan-
ization of the National Guard was crit
icized by members of the House military
committee when Secretary Baker and
General March, chief of staff, appeared
TO discuss army legislation.
Committeeman said the impression
prevailed in some parts of the country
that the department did not want to
encourage development of the guard. and
that all of the $l5,O00,000 appropriation
for its reorganization would not be ex-
pended this year under present plans.
Secretary Baker said the program
called for l6 guard divisions apportioned
among states according to their popula
tion, but added that if some states did
not organize the guard the funds would
be unexpended.

ENGLISH SOCIETY RESUMES.
Only Simple Affair 1t Was with Their
Majesties Present.

London. July 25 Correspondence of
the Associated Press English society
took its tea recently on the lawn at
Buckingham palace, the guest of King
George and Queen Mary. 1t was sim
pie affair, their maiesties moving about
among their friends, stopping now and
then to greet this one or shake hands
with that one while on their way from
the palace to the pavilion, where they,
too, had tea.
The scene was brilliant The weather
did very well, for while it was cloudy
there was no rain Scores Of gaily
dressed women walked and chatted with
distinguished generals and admirals in
full regimentals, or went over the po-
ltical situation with statesmen, of whom
there were a great many there from ev-
cry party.
The king and queen came ont from
the palace at o'clock, and the nearest
band played the national anthem. The
whole of the great company stood still,
and then began to flow with one accord
toward their maiesties. From that time
for two hours, the garden party" was
just what it was intended to be.
The queen was dressed in striking
robe of sapphire brocaded silk and the
Princess Mary, who followed her mother,
wore pink and white satin. The king
had discarded his familiar field mar.
shal's uniform and appeared in the high
hat and frock coat of other peace days
He was in good humor, and spent most
of hia TINA talking In tho gnldiors and
sailors who sought HON out The queen
paid particular attention to the new
and the young" as one who was there
put it, but did not neglect her old
friends.
The socially ambitious were not pre-
scented in person to their majesties -the
mere fact of their presence being taken
as proof positive they had entered the
coveted realm. Also it gave the king
and queen more time to enjoy them
selves, since it did away with a trying,
If spectacular, ceremony.
