which have been current during the
last few days. were the subject of
comment I'M the London morning

sumed that such conference has
been decided upon, but the arma-
ment conference has aroused hopes
that the economic troubles in Eu-

company is cooperating with the
United States weather bureau In
tending by wire the weather re-
ports each noon.
Although the reports at present
are not Aenefitting the farmers in
regard to their work, they will be
one Of the greatest values when
the farm season opens. Private
wires are being installed by the
farmers, and where the voice can
be heard, the messages are sent out
by phone.
The reports also go to several
villages where usually no daily
forecast has ever been received
The messages are sent out each
noon at 1915 o'clock, and give the

TRADES UNION
REFUSES OFFER
OF FARM LANDS

London.-S. F. Edge, a. scientific
farmer, offered some few weeks
ago, to hand over farm land valued
at 10000 pounds to committee of
his employees without cost, but sub
ject to the proviso that they should
pay their own wages out OF the
proceeds.
It is announced that they have
declined the offer, and Mr.. Edge
has extended 1t to any reputable
labor body, such as the agricultur-
al workers unions.
"The purpose of this Offer" said
Mr.. Edge when interviewed at his
Sussex farm, lis to prove to the
trade Unions that farming, like
every other industry. will only pay
wages that are earned. unless they
are drawn from capital Agricul-
tural laborers have been misled as
to profit a farmer makes from
corn growing OF ordinary agricul-
ture, and it was to teach them the
truth that 1 made this offer.
my employees on my farms,
which have grown in the last two
years from a modest so acres 10
some 1000 acres. have not &C
cepted my offer, knowing that they
could make more money in wages
than they could make out OF the
farm.
st now suggest that one of the
farms should be run on a cooper
alive scheme in charge OF the
workers and their unions There
would have to be an agreement
that accepted methods Of good hus-
bandry be observed. Il would be
possible, of course, TO enjoy sew
eral years OF prosperity by taking
everything possible out of the soil
and putting nothing backN The
farm must be kept In good : order,
fences kept up, bitches drained,
land fertilized. and buildings main
tanned.
what ] am deeply concerned
with is that the whole OF the land
of this country should be farmed
at a profit. SO that many more
families may be employed on the
land. Tens OF thousands can be
employed on pig breeding, at pres
emit by far the most remunerative
side OF agriculture We have JIM
mense areas of unproducfivs land
Why should we not connect I'M
, productive land with unemployed
people, and make the land produce
pigs"
