ENGLAND'S ARABLE LAND ON DECREASE, SAYS GOVERNMENT LONDON, Feb. 2. Tho arable land in England and Wales decreased still further last year, a recent government report has shown, and fears are expressed that soon the day will come w hen this country Trill grow less of the cereals It needs than it has even produced before. But. to the Englishman, there is one consolation in the government report. M,utton chops, boiled potatoes and golf, three of the most popular factors in the life of England, are Etill -well provided for by the soil. That much can be gleaned from only a hasty glance through the government report. It pointed out that although the land under crops continues to be less and less extensive, acres bearing permanent grass Increased by 189,000 last year. And these acres can be used to graze sheep, or serve as fairways for the man with the mashie. As a matter of fact, grass lands are being tised more and more for both purposes. New hunkers and greens greet the eye where bunkers and greens never were seen before. Breeding ewe3 the source of the Inescapable English mutton. Increased by 92,000 in the 12 months covered by the government report. During this same period the total acreage of potatoes, which along with, brussel spiwts make company for the mutton in millions of meals, vas, 561,000. The previous year the potato crop embraced 658,000 acres and before tho war, only 435,000 acres. The report recorded substantial increases in the number of cows and calves, but the number of farms de creased by 5,418. Acres planted in wheat are 10,000 fewer than a year ago, and the bariey area has dropped to 130,000 acres below tho pre-war average. It may or may not be signihcent ttat beer, In which barley has a part, was Imbibed In far less quant ity in England last year than previous ly. The brewers blamed the high taxes for the drop in tho popularity of their foaming products. Pigs, too, are becoming fewer and horses continue to : make way for Kasoline. Last year the pig census revealed a decline of 200,000 porkers, and the foals were 8,400 less than in 1921. BUY LICENSE OR WALK IS EDICT OF POLICE COXXER.SYTLLE, Ind., Feb. 2. Every day in every way walking is be coming commoner and commoner; sidewalk crowds thicker and thicker, and streets emptier and emptier, since the police have opened a cam paign to enforce application of 1923 auto license tags and have announced no cars can operate in February without, new licenses. Every notary in town did a rushing business Thursday, making out last minute applications, and the branch office of the Iloosier Automobile association was swamped all day Thursday, a long line waiting In the McFarlan hotel lobby for the opening of the office in the morning. Activities of zealous police were In many instances frustrated by last minute compliance by car owners. Many police, taking the number of a 1922 license plate as they approached from the rear, stepped around the car to find the car owner busy changing the front plate. PROCEEDS FROM FILM CLEAR INSTITUTE DEBT CENTERVILLE, Ind., Feb. 2 A movie showing of "The Yoke of Ages" a farm life film, which was presented at the high school auditorium Thursday evening,-was responsible for wip ing out the deficit of the farmers' in stitute which has just closed, and leaving a comfortable surplus for next year's institute. The picture, a seven reel film which is being retained for a week and shown at various points in the county. was appreciatively received. The showing was preceded by several se lections by the community orchestra, under the direction of Miss Iva rsicholson, and' a duet by Misses Hazel and Helen Jackson.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

WHAT FARMERS WANT "Speaking for the farmer, we make a motion that the farm bureau and some other national farm organizations adopt some system of referendum, by means of which they may, without too much expense or delay, find out the real views of the men on the farms, before they venture to speak with authority on what the farmer stands for." Thus argues the editor of Farm Life, who continues by saying: "When Howard committed the farm bureau to the ship subsidy, for instance, there was more than a reasonable doubt as to whether the rank and file of the membelrship of the organization agreed with him. And the leaders who are now advocating more liberal immigration policy may be mistaken in thinking that the majority of farm, ers want the doors opened wider to the incoming tides from Europe." "Anybody can guess what the farm er wants, but the man who undertakes to stand up in meeting and speak for the six million fellows back on the land, might conceivably make the wrong guess. At any rate he has a good deal or crust. All of which makes a sensible sum ming up. We doubt tnat tne iarmers of this country, or the people in gen eral are in favor of "letting down the bars" to the mixed hordes over the sea who would be only too glad to invade this country. Many of these are not only intent upon overthrowing our form of government but later to fly their own flags over Uncle Sam's domain. The great mass of those who seek a home in the United States, are not, however, of that type, but there are now so many of the turbulent and revolutionary seeking admittance that handplcking and limitation has ap pealed to congress as proper measures of self protection. Fulton and Lewis Sale The farmers in the Williamsburg section were out in force to attend the Fulton and Lewis sale on the old Larkin Bond place, two miles west of town, Wednesday. Mr. Lewis says it was a pretty fair sale and that it totalled $3,431. Included in the farm live stock were five head of horses, 10 head of cows and calves, and 52 hogs. Of the hogs 15 were Big Type Poland brood sows, the balance being feeders ranging at from 75 to 125 pounds. Cows brought prices according to estimated values of the bidders, Edward Johnson paying $76 for cow and calf, the top of the sale on cows. Clarence Pitts, of Williamsburg, clerked the sale and says that a part of the 700 bushels of corn put up brought as high as 80 cents. He said that the 350 bushels of good white oats averaged around 50 cents and that clover hay brought up to $10 and timothy up to $12 per ton, there being over 10 tons in each let, and all good hay. A raft of farm implements were displayed and mostly found to be in good condition, as reported. This insured an active demand as the time for spring operations draws nigh. Mr. Pitts says the implements, wagons and tools created competition, nd consequently better than the average' prices were realized. Weddle and Hindman cried the sale, starting shortly after 9:30 o'clock.

Cattle-Feeding Data In order to compile dependable data on problems of beef production, the department of agriculture in the past four years has taken records on 80,00t) biefiss in various states or the corn belt. When the work is finished at the end of another year there will be records on approximately steers fed for the market. 100,000 In the territory covered Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska most of the feeders are finished on corn and legume hay, or on corn and silage supplemented with a protein meal. The kind of hay grown in a particular locality determines the ration used, and a survey shows that about equal numbers of steers are fed each year by these two methods. Where clover or alfalfa is grown abun dantly the standard ration is corn and one of these hays. In other places, where most of the hay is mixed, silage is included in the ration, and cottonseed or linseed meal is fed as a supplement to supply protein. The information collected shows some interesting comparisons of the two methods of making beef. To make the same amount of total gain required less time where corn and al falfa hay were used, but required more grain than was needed in the corn-silage-cottonseed - meal ration. With the first ration the steers put on an average of 2.07 pounds of grain a day, while those getting silage and meal in addition to corn put on an av erage of 1.C3. In the first case it required 146 days to put on the 302 pounds and in the other 185 days. The feeding table furnished shows that the quantities of feed, consumed by the two groups differed as follows. First group, corn, 52 bushels; alfalfa hay, 1043 lbs.; straw, 239 pounds. These are "average" quantities per steer. In the second group the quantities fed were: Corn, 30 bushels; cottonseed meal, 177 lbs., mixed hay, 690 lbs.; silage, 5,583 lbs.; straw, 612 pounds. On the face of it this looks like a whole lot of silage per steer, but we presume the experiment men are sure of their weights. In writing regarding to market conditions in Kentucky in 1921, Green Clay states that in that state "corn, Aratex SFMT-ni7T Collars Will not wilt, crease, curl or fray. Appear stiff, are soft.

cattle and hogs sold at 32 per cent below the 15-year average, and tobacco sold for 35 per cent above the 15-year average. An increase is shown in the 1922 price of cattle and hogs, but the tobacco price will almost reach its 1921 superiority. The outlook for tobacco in 1923, that is for the 1922 crop, when it comes on the market, is so promising that the danger of overproduction looms large." This is the concensus of Mr. Clay's comment on the situation, and he adds that some advance payments have been made, prior to the delivery of the 1922 crop. i Mr. Clav further states that- "Dur ing 1922, five tobacco organizations, patterned after the Burley Tobacco Growers' Co-operative association, were formed in Wisconsin, Connecticut, Virginia-Carolina, Missouri and in the dark tobacco district of western Kentucky, so that 80 per cent of the 1922 tobacco crop of the United States will be sold co-operatively. The phenomenal and chaotic market of the 1919 crop, 3S1" cents a pound for tobacco that had averaged but 14 cents for the 10 years preceding, led to farm speculation that resulted in ruin when, the next crop fell to 12Vz cents a pound. "This tumDle from affluence to pov erty caused the upbuilding of the burley growers association which suc ceed in bringing the 1921 crop back to 282 cents a pound for the average. The independent or non-association market opened in Kentucky, VirginiaCarolina and the dark district prior to January 1, 1923, at prices a few cents above opening figures in 1921. Association tobacco sold for three cents more in 1921 than did non-members' tobacco. Since the association has now above 90 per cent of the burley 1 wish 1 could wear w m -m a low neck dress ''.

tobacco and the same buyers must! come to it for supplies, it is reasonable to assume that the organization will receive as- much or more than non-association growers. In fact, the prices which will be asked for the 1922 crop have been fixed and selling has begun. At the time of writing, these prices had not been made public. It was said that most of the crop will be sold in winter orders so that the growers will not have to redry their stored tobacco." More Milk Consumed Milk drinking in the United States has increased nearly 17 per cent dur ing the last 10 years, statistics com-, piled by the department of agriculture show. Health departments of 356 cities sent in figures representing more than 32,000,000 people and these show that a daily average of seven-tenths of V pint is consumed for every man, woman and child now, as against six-tenths of a pint 10 years ago. Southern states show a smaller con sumption than other sections of the country, particularly New England, where it reaches its crest. Cities of less than 50,000 people use less milk per person than cities of greater size, with the exception of those under 5,000, where milk consumption leads the list, the figures show. . To Protect Our Fruits. A quarantine under which the entry of fruits and vegetables from all foreign countries could be controlled and safeguarded for the protection of American crops against the Mediterranean or other fruit flies was discussed at a public hearing before the federal horticultural board at Washington, recently. Representatives of several foreign governments and a number of American importers and producers were present. In opening the meeting, Dr. C. L. Marlatt pointed out that any action by the board had purely to do with protecting American crops from pests. There was no idea of trade protection. Imports were prohibited, he said, only where absolutely necessary to .safe guard American crops from the danger of bringing in injurious insects and diseases. The purpose of the hearing, he said, was to gather as much information as possible on the subject, so that the department can act wisely in deciding the question of a quarantine, Adequate protection for American crops against fruit flies was strongly urged by growers and representatives of producers' organizations in various parts of the country, particularly Calitonia and Florida. A plea against any drastic restric tions on imports of fruits from their countries was made by representatives of the following foreign governments: Great Britain, (with respect to Canada), Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Union of South Africa, Australia, Cuba, Mexico, Argentina and Chile. The principal American importing in terests were also represented and made similar pleas but offered no ob jection to any restrictions which were plainly necessary for the purpose of protecting American crops from these pests.

SPRING IS IN SIGHT RATLIFF DECLARES

Positive indications of SDrine are reported by Walter Ratliff in the sighting Thursday, of half a hundred meadowlarks and almost as large a number of yellow birds, neither of which are accustomed to return north until the severe cold weather is safely over. It is especially unusual for the birds to be seen in such numbers. Other birds which Mr. Ratliff has seen within the last week,whose return always depends upon the near approach of spring, were blue jays, and robins, which have been reported several times from different sources, flickers, song sparrows and vesper sparrows. "The crows are sti'.l here," says Mr. Ratliff, "and a number of redbirds siayea witn us over winter. Some o! the winter birds-that have been plentiful are the northern horned lark, tho tree sparrow, and the juncos.
