Lad Takes Up His Dog's Battle and Suffers Bad Bite "Sonnv" Yaffe. 5-vear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Yaffe, 26 J 7 Franklin street, has a small brown dog named "IVanuts." Xow you can n-ast "IVanuts.' and you can bark ami prowl at him, if the latter mode of expression is your disposition. Hut it perchance you are a laifte dog with sharp teeth and a thirst for battle, don't try to crack 'Teauuts' while ' Sonny" is about. Such a cant. ie essayed the job late Friday afternoon and "Sonny" armed with a small hall bat jumped into the fray. After a considerable hattle "Sonny" drove the bin dR off, but not before he was bitten severely on the right check and left arm. Offi cer A. C. Anderson later allied him self with the "Sonny" and "l'eauuts" alliance, and put bullet through the big stray's head. "Sonny" and 'Tea nuts" are doing well.

Conceived by Lord Sel borne, the idea has aroused so inucMi enthusiasm that a wide demand has been made for increasing the land to he devoted to it by almost as much again as is specified in the lull. .V The importation of natives from South Africa for agricultural la-' sh hor during the remainder of tie war, though so many objections have been raised to this that there is little like lihood of us being adopted. Farm Labor Available. It is believed that the plan for bringing back soldiers from the front will have the ellcct of providing suf ficient farm labor practically immedi ately. In announcing the war office's consent to the transfer, an expert told the agricultural society that in Kng land and Scotland, as well as in Ire land, the farms in many districts bad fallen far below their minimum in the matter of labor. The tendency to regard more seri ously the country's capacity for grow ing larger crops is illustrated by the figures of the wheat, bailey and oats crops in England and Wales. Wheat and oats were grown in larger quan tities, though the barley crops were much smaller. There were 5.4S9.9.W acres devoted to the three cereals in England and Wales in I'J 15, an in crease of 248.044 acres as compared with 1914. The greatest increase in acreage was devoted to wheat, or 2, 170,170 acres in all. the figure repre senting an increase of $b2,t72 acres (20 per cent), greater than in 1914, and 25 per cent greater than during any of the years between 1905 and 1915. Every country returned in creased areas, the total for Wales of 11,230 acres (31 per cent), being the greatest. The returns for 1915 give Z.PKS.047 acres under oats, an increase of 158, 421 acres as compared with 1914, but only 24,8b9 acres above the average for the last ten years. The whole of this increase was in England. The reduction of the areas under barley amounted to 158,421 acres, the total acreage of 1,231,722 being the lowest yet recorded. Perhaps to no in dividual as much as to the Earl of Selborne is due the credit of bring ing home to the people of all classes the importance of taking prompt lomg remarkably ell, all of the farm laboier's wotk milking and feeding and hmkiiig after the stock like vet era n . Many of t hee even have mastered the work of handling horses and can get as much work out of a team as any man. "liecause of the splendid manner in which the women ha e risen to the occasion in this respect at a time when farm work is of vital im portance, to the nation, we feel justi fied in the belief that we are going to pull agriculture through this crisis in spite ot many apparently insuperable difficulties. "We realize that the problem of making as much progress as we lid m war tunc presents its handicaps. Among these, in addition to the shortage of farm labor already indicated, is the difficulty of obtain ing sufficient supplies of fertilizers and modei ii machinery that are so necessary in farming to the greatest advantage now. Then there is the shortage in shipping tonnage, restrict ing at many turns our requirements in the matter of supplies from over seas. Ask Full Cultivation. ."We have asked the farmer to main tain the full cultivation of the soil an I upkeep of his docks and herds during the course of th-j war. and to iiKH'isf them whenever pos sible. I nikr the unparalleled diffi culties encountered he has responded wonderfully. The difficulties of this particular season will be understood, in view of our efforts to replace with women the men absent from the soil. "Owing to the custom being against women working on the land in Eng land, the problem has been particu larly difficult. The English type of fa i m laborer is highly skilled and a fine fellow. He would rather have his women folk looking after the home and maintaining the children and working less about the farm, "The only English counties in which exception is found to this at titude, or where women work habit ually on the land are Northumber land, Cumberland, and Westmoreland and parts of Durham. i "Of course there is a distinction be tween what countries with highly cen tralized governments, like those of France and Cermany, can accomplish in such a change in national life as we are attempting here in England and in what we can accomplish. I refer to their facilities for quick organiza tion. In France, for instance, there is a prefect in every department and a mayor in every commune, while practically the whole of Germany's population is at the order of the gov ernment.

''While we are not as well equipped in the respect of agricultural col lege as a country of larger rural popu lation like the Cnticd Males, we ar paying slate giant-, to institutions scattered over the entire country that are directing their energies into this vital channel of instructing the people in the art ol agneuluirc. When they are further along in their task, our goal of accomplishing the repopula tion of the agricultural districts will be simplified, if not solved. Like wise a splendid impetus will he given the work of afforestation, so badly needed throughout the country, "But perhaps the condition to which fanning had dropped in the United Kingdom may he better un derstood by a reference to its history. It must he remembered first that up to the time of the passing of the great reform bill in 1882, hind in this coun try was a source of great political power. "The bill's effect in transferring the basis of power from land ownership was manifested gradually, and that depression which was the greatest catastrophe in the history of agricul ture did not begin until the end of the seventies. That was with the fal: in the price of wheat lo 24 shillings a quarter, and of corn and other farm produce m porportmu. harming, ot course, ceased to be a business prop-j osition. "Millions of pounds were lost, and j ! thousands of farmers were absolutely i ruined. Conditions remained very j had for farming for thirty-five years ! "( hving It) a variety of causes an (improvement occurred between 100 hound to ! being maintained and was increasing when the war broke out. Although it had placed the farmer so he was mak ing a good commercial profit ten years before the war, every year saw less land under cultivation and more acres devoted to grass. The increas in the areas going to grass was due to the fact that farmers could make a good living in that way with less ri.sk, and the tuemorv of the terrible experience of the depression." Lord Selborne will have something to do with the revival of agriculture, even now that he has resigned his place as president of the Board of Agriculture, as the prime minister has invited him to co-operate with him in the task of reconstruction of agricul ture after the war. Speaking before the Agricultural Organization society, Lord Selborne said: "Increased food production during the war is a sacred national duty. The man on a Hampshire farm can strike a blow for England equally with his son in Flanders. The manner in which women have responded to the call of duty in this war should make it impossible for any man to think them less patriotic, less capable of comprehending a great issue, less firm in purpose or less prone to sac rifice than men." He made a plea for better wages for farm laborers, better houses, and for a multiplication of the occupying owners of land drawn from the laboring classes." (rorrraponrtpive ot The Associated Prow.) Athens, July 25. A dramatic mo ment marked a military horse show given recently in the stadium. The jumping and riding exhibitions were over. The white-skirted evzones had marched impressively past the royal tribune, and two regiments of soldiers were drawn up before King Constan- I tine and (Jueen Sophie to sing lireek tolk songs. Several songs passed pleasantly enough. Then there came one about the exploits of Constantine I'alelogue. emperor of Bvzance. I Even to t hose who could not under stand the words there was something stirring in the martial lines.

But the sword remained un sheathed, and the song went on. Only when the king had gone ana the crowd was pouring down the street that runs in front ofthe royal residence, some man shouted that ii was shameful that the applause for the king had been paid for by Ger man money.
