"v furm boy and girl migra tion from city to the oll and correct, almost over ntcjit, n food shortage that threatened to engulf the Urltlsh empire. While the (lower of Urltlsh manhood was lighting In France the agricultural balance was turned In the GArr rtfAcro.? 3tJLr rojfAti. home land with the aid of the older men, the boys, thousands of women educated and brought up to city life, and above nil other things, with tractors. The situation was sav-d. Hut the lesson of un productive farm lands has been learned. Hence forth there will be a department of food production In the Urltlsh government charged with the duty of maintaining and without a doubt bettering tho wnrtlme crop record, a record of which Kngland Is Justly proud because, In the midst of a period where the services of every hand was needed In munition making, the country went from a "liJ weeks' lood production" era to a point where the land of England was producing enough food to last 40 weeks. Sir Charles Fielding, the director of food production, believes that eventually, possibly sooner than the world expects, lhigland will be hurvchtlng enough food to last through every one of the 01! weeks In the year, barrlug, pei hups, some additional emtio food that will be needed when the Urltlsh herds are Increased to .',000,000 head, the number that will be required to properly supply the population with milk. Hack In 101 i the lmglish were Importing four fifths of all cereals consumed and one-half of the meat supply. The new program will cer.aluly put 1014 Into the place It deserves the low -water murk In English farming. Will Guarantee Prices to Farmer. Success with tho national "after the war farm scheme" depends hugely on what kind of a price guarantee tho government will be willing to gln the fanner for bis principal crops. The depart ment of food production has It In mind to ask for certain fixed prices tbnt will run through a term of at least ten yenrs. It Is believed that at least a decade, will be required to hrmly establish the new era. and In the meantime gle tho farmer u fair deal. "The farmer Ih not greedy," Sir Charles Fielding, hlms-elf a farmer, declared the other day. "We must remember the fanner has bis living to mako and he has n right to reasonable security, and to the assurance that he will get n fair return for his work nnd lily expenditure. I bellevp that the Im wrtance of agriculture Is being runllzcd In this country at last. If It had been renllzed In the llrst year of the war we should never havo know n such perilous times as those through which we have passed. Rut we got through Homehow and the prospects are hotter now." Sir Charles Is constantly pointing out thnt big crop production here In Dnglnnd Is going to bo ono of the factors In settling the nation's war debt. lie has wnrned thnt Kuglnnd "must not go back to her old ways nnd spend thteo hundred millions a year for Imported food. Our exports would have to pny for that food before they paid for anything else, nnd it would bo nn utterly un necessary expenditure. The food is hero In our own country, only waiting to be taken out of tho soil." It was In March, 1017, just before America I'orANAtro MCfdUTA BArra?y or rMovjv ?AJyra? wavt ost3MrstfrA&y$ vjfu sssi-- declared war on flor many, that the Urltlsh government foresaw grnve difficulties with the food situation should the war last much longer. And It was quite evident that the war would last "quite some time," as the Rritlsh phrase It. American strength on the battle front, and in ship building, could not be expected for many months. About thnt time tho war-food program started In real earnest. Attention Turned to Tractor. Lord Lee It was who suggested the tractor scheme for brenklng up the soil of farms then suffering from the shortage In horses (50 per cent of farm horses were In the nnny) nnd for plowing up the grnss lands of the big estates. It was In the minds of all those men connected with the food production department to make 1018 thu banner crop year In England's history. Originally It wns planned to adopt a small tractor as a standard, and turn them out by the thousand In Urltlsh factories standardized. Some 0,000 would bo needed to do tho Job thoroughly, it wns thought. Sudden urgent demands on the factories for lncrensed supplies of munitions caused the abandonment of the first plan, and the next step was to order the first shipment of smnll tractors from America. Weeks and months were lost testing out the initial lot of machines and then, after a desirable model had been developed, cume the terrible win ter of 101S In America tying up railroad trans portation and preventing the idilpmcnt of ma chines that should have been at that very moment engaged In turning over the soil of somo ducal estate perhaps. Actual .shipment of 1,500 tractors was inndo In America. No more reached Imgland In time to bo of service In preparing for fie 1018 crop. So everj possible kind of mechanical power wns mobilized to haul plows. Some giant machines built for hauling heavy artillery In Russia were trundled out to the Kngllbh Ileitis and performed excellent seivlce. Ancient sets of "steam tackle" wore Inspected, quickly repnlted and put to work. Sometimes two engines are used on a Held, ono at each end of the furrow. The Idea Is to keep tho heavy weight of the engine off the ground that Is to be put under cultivation for the reason that, past experience had shown, the engine's weight acted a.s a pros on certain kinds of chalky, stlfky English soil, causing tho plow to turn up large solid square chunks of earth thnt wero absolute fixtures In the Held week on end. These chunks, when struck by a sledgp hammer, gave forth n dull kind of thud and the hammer left a small Indentation. Sometimes, In the dry dnys of May usually, one month after the planting season Is over, the chunks automatically crumble overnight, leaving n perfectly level field thnt haa apparently been cultivated Into dust. Tho "steam tackles" worked all fall and wlntor making rendy for the 1018 crop, nnd, all told, plowed up a million nnd a qunrter acres of soil. The tractors, that Is the gnsollne rigs, small and Inrge, plowed up something llko n million acres last year. Approximately two-thirds of tho land In Eng land Is held In tho big parks nnd estates. It Is In tho rcmnlnlng third that the wnr mnrveU of food production were accomplished. ZaaaKJf" ".V U aaaW ww v m At first glance It nppears manifestly unfair (hat o small an nmount of the park hinds was put to work. As a matter of fact the whole matter was handled with thorough Urltlsh Jus tice; wherever park lands were found that should have been plowed, the Innd was plowed. More will he cultivated In peace time, It Is generally believed. , In order to sntlxfy a popular demand In some sections thousands of acres of grass lands wero plowed uneconomlcnlly, largely for tho purpose of conducting the "more-food crusade" In u man ner that appeared fair to the smaller landholders. There Is talk now, and tho plan will probably be carried out, of bringing the ducal parks, with iHrge wooded areas, Into u general scheme of pro ductive forestry In order to Increuso tho natlonnl resources. The curl of Melbourne's plan, which follows, appears populur, however. On many of the old pluces venerable trees were sacrificed during the wnr to fill the need for lumber. Special Committee Makes Investigation. At tho direction of the Urltlsh government n special committee, headed by tho eurl of Mel bourne, bus Investigated tho whole farming situ ation in England and has submitted Its report. It Is interesting to note that the committee asks for the provision of goial cottages for agri cultural laborers with ample gardens attached to them. Hereafter, If the recommendations of. tho com mittee are carried out, the state will sc-e to It that no land sultuble for farming will be uved for golf links. "it must be clenrly understood," tho report reads, "that huncefnrth bad farming Is a danger to the state, and that the waste of good laud on game or games Is inconsistent with patriotism. There will be plenty of room for game or golf, but too much game, or golf links carved out of fut land, make an Inroad on tho production of food stuffs which can no longer be defended." Mind you, this udinonltlon Is uot addressed to England at war, but to England at peace, and the report as a whole is an effort to guide England's new-found farming Industry through the trying days of recount! uctlon. Minimum Wage Proposed. For the farm linnil there should bo u regulated minimum wage set by duly appointed wage boards In each administrative county, acting In conjunction with the local government olllclals, as Well as acting harmoniously with tho wage bontd In adjoining counties. The Impartial eyu of the committee rests on the great estate and park evil, whore two-thirds of England's acres rest, virtually uncultivated, nnd the recommendation Is made, with careful uno of phra&eology In older to completely cover the cuse, that these untitled lauds bo taken over by tbo board of agriculture, acting for the government, und a system of crops planted undor the direction of an expert estntc manager. Three yenrs' warning tdiould be given the estnt owner, and then If nothing has been done toward actual farming, the estate goes Into government management for n perlo'd of only five years, how ever. Committees, appointed locally, ure to Judgo on the capability of tennnt farmers, nnd where such men are found negligent, or wnntlng In propet knowledge of competent cultivation, the tenant can be evicted. Buck of all this Is tho knowlodgo thnt great things wero accomplished In ngrlculturo during tho wnr days; that England was a fair farming country until tho middle of tho Inst contury, nnd that neighboring European .countries havo sue cooded in establishing farming on a profitable basis. So tho men nt tho helm feel confident that with prudent legislation the futuro of farming can be assured In Englnnd.

Weekly Health Talks What Is the Cause f Backache ? BY DOCTOR CORNELL Backache Is perhaps the most com mon ailment from which women sufi fer. Rarely do you find anybody fro from It Sometimes tho cause Is ob scure, but Dr. Tierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., a high medical authority, says tut cause Is very often a form of catarrh that settles In the delicate membrane of tho feminine organs. When these organs are Inflamed, the first symp tom Is backache, accompanied by bear, lng down sensations, weakness, un healthy discharges, Irregularity, pain ful periods, irritation, headache and a general run-down condition. Any, woman in this condition is to bo pit ied, but pity does not cure. The trouble calls for Dr. Pierce's Favorlt Prescription, which Is a separate and distinct medicine for women. It is made of roots and herbs put up without alcohol or opiate of any kind, fos Dr. Pierce usca nothing else in his pre scription. Favorite Prescription is a nat ural remedy for women, for the vegetable growths of which it is made seem to bavs been intended by Naturo for that very purpose. Thousands of girls and women, young and old, have taken it, and thousands have written grateful letters to Dr. Pierce raying it made them well.
