] DUBLIN, March 4.—Food produc
tion in Ireland this year is expected to
exceed all records, according to the
announcement of Sir Thomas Russell,
of the Irish department of agriculture,
who has made arrangements for the
tilling in 1918 of 500,000 acres of land
in addition to that under cultivation
last year, when 750,000 more than in
j 1916 were planted. The increase this
year will be compulsory.
The government has guaranteed the
farmers against loss. Sir Thomas re
ported that there had been no serious
difficulty in forcing the increase ill
planting last year and that only 1,064
farmers had refused to carry out the
instructions of the government. Of
. these 800 had yielded, under presure,
| and he stated that the farms ol' the
1 remaining 264 would be operated by
(he department of agriculture.
There has been a considerable short
age of butter and its export has now
been prohibited by the government.
English buyers came over here and
went into the country buying at a high
er price than the maximum and there
was not enough left for the Irish mar
ket.
I Ireland has begun to develop a mar
garine trade and factories have been
set up in various places notably (’or.c
J and Waterford.
I The general impression made on
t English visitors to the Dublin hotels,
1 is that Ireland is better off for food
than England and that the restric
tions have had much less effect.
MUNIGIPAL POULTRY'
FARM IN ENGLAND
I _
A municipal poultry farm—the first
in England—established in Bradford,
England, last May, promises to be a
profitable enterprise, according to a re
port of United States Consul Augus
tus E. Ingram. Seventy thousand eggs
per annum are needed to meet the de
mand of the medical Institutions main
tained by the municipality. The farm
is situated in the ground of the Bierley
Hall Sanatorium for Consumptives and
has 50 chicken houses built on the lat
est approved plaus. There are 800
birds, (gid it is believed the produc
tion will reach 80,000 eggs per annum.
The farm buildings include incubators,
food stores (where food is hoisted in
by a crane and runs down from the
store by galvanized Iron chutes to each
bin in the mixing bowl below), and an
egg house, where there are nine tanks
for the storage of 23,000 eggs. The
preservative used is water glass.

It is an absolute sin to waste food.
Fond has become sacred.

(By Associated Press)
LONDON, March 4.—A National
scheme has been approved here for
collecting and using nearly everything
now cast out as household waste, such
as rags, waste paper, old metal, brok-i
en glass, old cans, and all sorts of!
kitchen refuse. Everything will be
sorted and sent to centers, where it
can be made to replace something that
otherwise would have to be brought in
ships. ,
Many experiments have been made.
Oil for engines has been extracted
from bad fish and meat; food for poul
try and pigs from other kinds of re
fuse; potash from stalks of vegetables.
Old tin cans from the city of Notting
ham are. now yielding 400 tons of iron
a year, which is converted into a low
class steel for army purposes. One of
the triumphs of war economy has been
in the extraction and use of the oil
with which leather is dressed.
GERMAN RAILWAYS SHOW
AN ACTUAL DEFICIT
AMSTERDAM, March 4.—The offi
cial information that the receipts o^
the German railways have increased
by $115,000,000 since the war might
lead people to suppose that the rail-]
ways had benefitted by the war. The
official reports, however, show that]
this Is not the case. In consequence of
the advance In wages and in the cost
of all materials, the profits have not
only been fully absorbed, but there is
an actual deficit which is likely to In
crease.
