COST OF LIVING
PROVES PROBLEM
JO GREAT BRITAIN
, Member.-of Parliament 'Says
" Economic Questions , Are '
; Paramount Issues in
Country Now. 1
By C A. MeCURDY, M. P.
; Writtea for International New Service.
London, 'May l.-v-Praftical pol
itics in England will largely turn on
( economic questions for the next five
years. .Prices, wages, profits and the
high cost of living are the live polit
ical issues which will determine the
fate of governments.
r Five years' wastage "of war, five
J years of unparalleled destruction of
wealth and aislocation of industry
cannot be repaired as soon as peace
comes. ,..
It is not the inflation of the cur
rency nor the lack of transport that
is the1 root cause of the high prices
of today,' but the simple fact that in
every necessity of civilized life the
productive efficiency of ,he world
nas still to be restored, and the
stage of war has sti!l to be made
good. ' - s
Two immediate remedies have
been proposed, and are continually
being urged upon the people of this
country. I believe that both are un
sound ,
First,' there . is the remedy pro
posed by the extremists, of the labor
party that we should check ex
cessive profits altogether; that we
should, nationalize the industries of
.the country in the hope that out of
that tremendous experiment a satis
factory result might be obtained.
At the other extreme are the peo
ple who urge that the 'old doctrine
of freedom or trade, freedom of
competition, the complete removal of
all restrictions and controls, is thH
ound economic' method of lower
ing prices.
-The true remedy will be found
somewhere between the extremes
advocated by the labor party on
the one hand, and the sreat trading
interests on the other. We shall not
-nationalize our industries and so de
stroy the commercial system upon
vhich our wealth and prosperity
have grown for centuries. Nor can
it be necessary, on the other hand,
that the trusts and combines and
the profiteers should be given a
free hand to exploit the public as
ihey please. 4S- ,
irrsic middle path of safety and
wisjjm must be found. There must
. be some forn of supervision and
control exercised over prices and
profits in the interests of the con
sumer. It is not, in my judgment, to fines
reprosecutions that we must look
for salvation. 1
We must encourage, and. if neces-
T?1hown us their "power to control
f and restrict Driees to ixprri tliar
power for the benefit of the public
and not merely in their own selfish
interests.

Rape As Pasture Crop
1
If
IT I
U

c

By FRANK RIDGWAY.
The increase in the production of
grain during the. last few years, re
sulting in the plowing up of grass
land, has caused a shortage of pasture-on
many farms in the corn belt
states. To save grain, farmers will
find rape a valuable emergency crop.
Those who have tried it find it an
. exceedingly valuable pasture- crop,
because it makes' luxuriant growth
in , a comparatively short 'period a.1
time, and it . furnishes a succulent
forage which animals relish during
the summer, when permanent pas
tures are shprf. - ,
Rape is too watery in character to
be. made into hay or silage, but for
grazing purposes it is valuable for
sheeo and hogs especially, and it is
good for cartleJt is sometimes ob
jected to as a pasture for milch cows
because it taints the milk. Dairymen;
s claim this can be avoided by not al-
' lowing the cows to graze on rape
during t he last few hours before
milking. Graze them immediately
after milking. Cattle also damage
a great many leaves with their large
hoofs, i .
' Rape is closely related to the cab
bage and turnip plants. Its leaves
resemble the cabbage, but there is
no head formed.
. It is best not to pasture rape un
til it is, about 10 inches high. It is
usually ready to be grazed by the
last of May. It-continues to grow
until freezing , weather, remaining
een and succulent, and produces
new j growth throughout -the season.
Itsrapid growth may be checked
slightly in the hot, dry weather in
late esummer. '
If rape is given a good start be
fore live stock' are turned in it will
furnish sufficient grazing for from
15 to 20 animals on each acre, from
June utitil October, depending on
whether it is sown alone or with
other crops. It may be raised alone
or with a variety of other crops.
The method most commonly em
ployed in pasturing rape is to have
two or three lots; or, if it is in a
field fences may be built dividing
the field into small patches. InMhis
way close pasturing may be avoided
by changing the animals from one
pasture or lot to another at intervals
of about two weeks, and thus the
rape will be given a chance to get
a new start ' .
