appreciation for the food being
shipped to England during the war

planned that he is here mainly to
learn. He has conferred with agri-
cultural experts N Washington and
now plans to make trip through
the Midwest to visit the area where
crops similar to those grown in
England are most prevalent. He
will go to the cities and headquar-
terS of farm organizations and to
the farms themselves. He will visit
the dirt farmers, talk with them
not only about the scientific phases
of farming. but also about their
economic and social status.
The farmer, in any country, Mr.
EaSterbrook says, is producing
wealth in its primary form. Why

life" according to Mr.. Easterbrook
TT is not enough to make farming
pay" he says. What We want is
real civilization, but we must have
an economic basis for that. The
good life can't be so good without
bank balance"
Conveys of Great Help.
Conveys of food are reaching
England from the United States to
the great advantage of the British,
Mr. Easterbrook said. AS matter
of fact, he said, so much wheat had
arrived at one time that a certain
British farmer he knew couldn't sell
his wheat because the granaries
were all full, mostly of imported
wheat. This condition. of course,
was temporary, the journalist ex-
planned.
England needs more proteins, and
is now getting from the United
States not only wheat, but dried
milk, evaporated milk, butter, cheese
and other articles. Even in peace
time England produced only about
one-third enough of these, buying
much from Holland and Denmark,
whose supplies now are cut off, 60
ing to Germany.
Cropping plans in England are
issued by the British Ministry of
Agriculture, he explained, to help
each farm produce more nearly what
is needed The ia. mers generally
cooperate in an amicable way, he
explained, but the ministry has
power to compel compliance. Much
of the permanent pasture of Eng
land is being put to the plow''
to convert it into greater produc-
ton. Land under the plow and in
cultivation, he explained, produces
at least three times as much food
as land under grass.
