previously. The brewers blamed the
high taxes for the drop in the popu-
larity of their foaming products. Pigs,
too, are becoming fewer and horses
continue to make way for gasoline.
Last year the pig census revealed a
decline of 100000 porkers, and the
foals were 8,400 less than in 1921.
The condition of British agriculture
is generally regarded as critical. The
English farmer cannot grow food as
quickly as the city consumers must
have it, or as, in fact, they can get it
elsewhere. So the farmer is giving
up the plough and letting the grass
grow under his feet and those of his
sheep. The report shows that in
many cases he is even giving up the
farm. During the last years Of the
war enormous efforts behind the
plough increased the arabic land of
this country so that it was possible
for England to feed an extra 100000
of her population, but even then Eng
land could not feed half her hungry
Since the armistice much of the
new ploughed land has gone back to
grass until now the soil under the
plough is not much greater, accord
ing to the government report, than
it was Immediately before the war.

London-(A P)-The arabic lane
in England and Wales decreased still
further last year, a recent govern
ment report has shown, and fears are
expressed that soon the day will come
when this country will grow less OF
the cereals it needs than it has even
produced before. But, to the English
man, there is one consolation in the
government report, Mutton chops
boiled potatoes and golf, three of the
most popular factors in the life of
England, are still we'll provided for
by the soil.
That much can be CLEANED from
only hasty glance through the gov

tinues to be less and less extensive,
acres bearing permanent grass in

these acres can be used to Craze

AS a matter of fact, grass lands
are being used more and more for
both purposes. New bunkers and
green's greet the eye where bunkers
and greens never were seen before.
Breeding ewes, the source of the in
escapable English mutton, increased
by $4,000 in the IL months covered
by the government report. During
this same period the total acreage
OF potatoes, which along with brus-
sci sprouts make company for the
mutton in millions of meals, was

crop embraced 558,000 acres and be-
fore the war, only 5000 acres.
