•The Outpost, Britain*
What do YOU want to know
about Britain? Americans working

(l)Wbat kind of a harvest has
Britain had this year?
Ans.—Although July was a wet
ter month than usual the rain
seems to have come down at con
venient intervals for most of the
grain harvest had been gathered
by the beginning of August.
This year’s yield is excellent,
wheat averaging one ton to the
acre and barley and oats very
nearly as much. Owing to the fact
that the unusually early harvest
has released labor for work on the
root crops later this season, it is
expected that larger supplies than
last year of sugar beet and other
root crops will be obtained. This
is good news to the British as the
British sugar ration has been very
|
much reduced in order that sugar
may be sent to France (the weekly
ration is still Vz lb. per person,
but supplies for caterers, confec
tionery, ice-cream, etc., are reduc
ed by about 50 per cent*. Fruit
supplies are also larger than might
have been expected in view of the
late spring frost.
In World War I the Coast
Guard’s losses in officers and men
were greater by percentage than
those of any other branch of this
country’s armed forces.
