Britain and Farming.
ON Christian Science Mont

Great Britain is starting out to recon-
struct agriculture sound lines.
Through it's ministry of agriculture it Is
giving financial assistance to those for
mer service men who wish to attend ag-
ricultural colleges. From this it will be
seen that the country means to lay en-
phasis upon technical education, an
object worthy OF all the effort that may
be expended upon it. But In building
the industry anew the experience OF
other nations should not be overlooked.
and that experience goes to show that
making two potatoes grow where one
grew before does not solve the problem

There is more road building money
available this year than ever before and
it would seem the wisest thing to con-
duct an extensive road building pro-
gram" says Mr.. Frank Baackes of tho
American Steel & Wire Co. "In every
city there ought to be an information
labor bureau where every man who ia
free to work on the roads, can register.
The complaint has been that labor was
high and scarce. Now is the time there
fore TO utilize this labor and get the
work done at public expense while the
building trades are being readjusted."
There is only one permanent road
which can be built economically and
that is the concrete road with steel re-
Enforcement. IT does not pay to build
an inferior road because 1t will soou
cost more than it is worth to keep ii
in repair. Why not build it right ID

Lethargic EncephaIitis.

The first case of this disease was re
ported from New York at the end Of
1918. 1t was here before lh,S t dn.te, be-
caust almost simultaneously IT was re-
ported from three widely separated sec
lions of the country.
The disease is seasonal in it's occur
renee. but since it was new to the coun-
try in 1919 there were few cases re-
ported during the spring. During the
summer and autumn the number re-
ported to the United States public
health service averaged six month. IN
December, 1919, 81 cases were reported.
The number Of cases reported in the
winter and spring Of 1920 in the weekly
report was as follows: January, 81;
February, A; March, Al: April, Sc; May.
Sc; June, "a; July, &c. After this the
Number reported monthly for the re-
rualnder Of the year was 10. In Janu-
airy. 1921, the number reported was w.
In February. 1874. The figures for March
are not yet available.
II 1920 is to be taken as an indica-
ton the present high rate may be ex-
pected to continue through May at least.
Then 1t should slump and run low until

credited for more than they are WORTH

New York state is in the list. but the
paragraph relating to that state carries

tethargic encephalitis in the list. The

The immigrant is then lodged in
hotel where the atmosphere reminds
him of his native country. Thus the
Impressions which he receives concern
ing America come to him first through
Old world memories and experience.
He is next introduced to a padrone
who secures work for him under ra-
cial boss. Then the immigrant is taken
to racial coolny, he is given a racial
newspaper. and through these he is in
troduced to racial merchants and bank
ers. During all this time it rarely has
been suggested to him that much OF
his future success and happiness may
depend upon his learning the English
language.
Thus in close contact with his own
people, he lives his life in America.
