ENGLAND PREPARES
FOR FUTURE FOOD
Plows to Be Put to 2,000,000
Acres of Rich Meadowland
in Effort to Increase
Production.
Conversion of 2,400,000 acres of
meadow land into direct crop produc
ing soil is the first step of England
to Ret increased production for next
year and the succeeding years.
This information has come to Gur
don W. Wattles, federal food admini
strator for Nebraska, and shows the
seriousness of the situation across the
water.
The advices to Mr. Wattles say that
under pressure of the war, Europe is
fast declining in productive power,
and that Europe can no longer hope
to obtain from abroad the quantities
of bread and meat that are needed.
"If we do not feed ourselves, no
other country can or will," is the di
rect statement of the letter. "The
danger of shortage extends beyond
the neriod of the war and in some
respects may be greater after peace
is proclaimed."
"This move in England shows how
serious they consider the situation
there," said Mr. Wattles last night.
"This order will give England 10,400,
000 acres under cultivation. The Eng
lish government thus emphasizes that
the question of food production has
become one of quantity, rather than
quality and that an acre under wheat
may yield much more human food
than an acre of good fattening pasture
land."
The advices to Mr. Wattles go deep
into the conditions in England, saying
that they have 18,500,000 acres of
grass land, but that the upkeep of the
herds and flocks prohibits the break
ing out of all this land at once. "But
as the flocks and herds diminish, as
will undoubtedly be the case with all
Europe's live stock, the temporary
breaking out of meadows will prob
ably follow closely the reduction of
live stock," concludes the statement.

19634 Meyers against Oerman Fire In
surance company. Appeal, Valley. Reversed
and remanded. Cornish, J. Rose and Sedg
wick. JJ., not sitting.
1. The rule that the taking of additional
Insurance on property Insured without the
consent of the company renders the policy
void Is not obviated by the fact that the
orglnal Insurance Is on a class of property
rather than any particular property.
i. "When an Insurer has elected to treat
a policy of insurance as void for breach of
condition providing for a forfeiture the as
sured has no claim upon tho company for

cies were shown to exist In some of the

19973 H.ilght against Omaha & Coun
cil Bluffs Street Railway Company. Appeal,
Douglas. Affirmed. Sedgwick, J. Cornish
and Letton, JJ. not participating. Hamer,
J. dissenting separately.
1, A defendant may plead a many de
fenses as he has. Allegations of fact show
ing that the negligence of the plaintiff
wa the sole cause of her injuries would
amount to a specific denial of the allega
tion that defendant's negligence was the
proximate cafse.
2. In an action for damages caused by
defendant's negligence the burden is upon
the plaintiff to prove negligence and that it
wa the proximate cauHe of her injury. So
far as plaintiff's negligence is material the
burden is upon the defendant to make such
proof.
8. In such action If defendant pleads In
one count, as special denial, facta that arc
Inconsistent with plaintiff's allegations of
negligence and also facta that would
amount to negligence of plaintiff defendant
cannot complain of Instructions that the
burden of proving1 defendants negligence is
upon plaintiff and of proving plaintiff's neg
ligence is upon defendant In the absence of
a request for more specific instructions.
200D4 f'.nmmcl airatnst Stnte. Error.
Dodge. On motion for rehearing, motion
overruled. Dean, J. Rose, J., dissenting
separately.
1. In a criminal trial It la prejudicially
erroneous to Instruct the Jury that If "from
a careful consideration of all the evidence
an 1 facta and circumstances in proof in the
case, or the want of evidence" they "can
say that they have an abiding conviction
of the tiulh of the charge made in the In
formation, then they are satisfied beyond a
reasonable doubt."
2. The facts .d circumstances necessary
to ronoburata ti e testimony of the prose

witnesses. The testimony of a prosecuting
wllnet.8 as .o cthir matters In a criminal
trial cannot le held 'o be corroborative of

CHARGE DELIVERY
BEINGTRIED OUT
Grand Island Grocers Adopt
System of Charging 10 Cents
for Delivery of Orders
Under $2.
As a result of a 10 days' trial of one
delivery a day with a 10-cciit charge,
the consumer ceased buying groceries,
deliveries fell off 81 per cent, and mar
ket baskets became fashionable in
Grand Island.
That information has conic to the
food administrator tor Nebraska from
Mrs. C. C. Ryan ot Grand Island,
county administrator for Hall county,
who summarized the results.
The grocers were not satisfied with
results and entered into a new agree
ment, which provides for two de
liveries a dav. a charge of 10 cents lor
delivery of all orders under $J, and a ;
15-cent cliarce tor spc
ci.u deliveries.
"The first trial was the result of
an agreement among the merchants,"
said Mrs. Ryan, "and the failure to
reduce prices on items, other than
those suggested in the 'fair prices," the
reason the grocers failed to convince
purchasers of the benefit of the new
delivery system."
"It also shows that the average
housewife has a greater iuantity of
provisions in stock than is realized,"
said Mrs. Ryan.
In trying out the new delivery sys
tem the Grand Island merchants
dropped from four regular and any
number of special deliveries per day
to the one delivery plan.
Mr. Wattles has referred the results
of Grand Island to Cliff Crooks of
Fairbury, state merchant representa
tive of the Nebraska food administra
tion. Mr. Crooks recently made an
exhaustive survey of deliveries in Ne
braska for the food administration and
followed with recommendations.
