IRELAND TRIES
OUT MODERN |
DUBLIN. Oct. 8—That the tillage
plan introduced at the beginning of
the year was an unqualified success
is indicated by the annual agricultur
al Statistics which the Irish depart
ment of Agriculture has just issued.
This time last year, the two remark
ale features of the statistics were the
unexpected decrease in the acreage of
cereal and green crops, and the large
increase in all kinds of live stock.
The report for the present year
tells a tale of the very opposite char
acter. Cereal and green crops have
gone up enormously, while the live
stock in every case has gone down.
The falling off in cereals last year
was about 20,000 acres; this year
there is an increase of 467.000 acres.
The falling off in green crops last
year was 22,000 acres; this year
there is an increase of 151,000. The
total area of cereals and green crops
plus flax and fruit, is now 3,338,000
acres, an increase of 637,000 acres or
26 per cent., the largest comparative
increase being in Connaught, with
32.8 per cent, and the smallest in
Ulster, with 20.7 per cent.
The greatest cereal crop in Ireland
is oats, which now stands at 1,464,000
acres an increase over last year of
392,000. There are many possibilities
as a result of this remarkable expan
sion, not the least of which is the
likelihood of a greatly increased lo
cal manufacture of oatmeal for hu
man consumption, for which purpose
some of the old windmills may be set
going.
The acreage sown with barley also
shows a large increase, in the face of
the fact that the business of brewer
ies and distilleries has been heavily
restricted. A ten per cent increase
in turnips, notwithstanding a decrease
in cattle and sheep of over 80,000
head, is no doubt explained by the
fact that turnips—formerly a purely
fodder crop—are being increasingly
used this year for human food, and
have been selling for good prices.
The potato crop has increased from
586,00 acres to 709,000. This is due
largely to the high prices which far
mers obtained for last years crop,
and the fact that they have been guar
anteed n good figure for this rears
pro;).

PARIS DECREES:
SHIRT SKIRTS '
THIS YEAR
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, Oct. 8. — The Paris Dress
makers' Syndicate Chamber, the asso
ciation of all the chief houses, has in
formed the government, in answer to
an official inquiry, that the length of
wool cloth for dresses for the winter
of 1917-18 will not exceed 4 1-2 metres,
a little les sthan five yeards.
The director of one of the best
known houses in Paris and Bondon,
interviewed on this decision, which "
seems to foreshadow the continued *■
use of short skirts and to insure the
tailor made costume as general wear,
said:
“The diminution of the length of
cloth used in wool costumes has really
been in effect since last season. With
out any general agreement, merely un
der the pressure of necessity, dress
makers had already restricted the
amount used before the war by 26 per
cent. Army needs, In America as well
as France, and the diminished produc
tion in the two countries oblige us to
continue along these lines. Of course
we shall make no attempt to get round
Ithe Chamber’s decision by ordering
cloth of greater width; we shall
rather try to employ a mixture of ma
terials, combining wool materials with e
silk and silk or cotton velvet.
“The recent decision cannot affect
our models for next winter's gowns,
for they were ready before it was
[ reached.”

Friends of Jimmie Bampton recent
ly received a message to the effect
that the Juneau diver had passed
away in the Tacoma hospital. His
death was the result of a fall from a
narrow walk while crossing the Ket
chikan creek. His back was broken
1 and he has been paralyzed ever since.

The unusual and continuous precipi
tation at Juneau the past summer was
the cause of a gentle young cheechaco
school teacher asking an old timer If it
rained all the time in Alaska. After
having favored the inquirer with a =
prolonged stare the old timer replied: ....
“Hell, no. It snows sometimes.” v.
