AGRICULTURE IN ENGLAND
IS BEING SYSTEMATIZED
LONDON, .Tun 5.—The big war re
vival in agriculture is producing many
interesting experiments in the grow
ing of new' crops on land not in use
for growing human food. For ex
ample, a big area in the country is
now', on the suggestion of the food
production department, planted with
sunflowers, the seeds of which are
valuable both as a sourse of oil and
^ for poultry food.
Small cultivators are also urged by
the government to sow sugar beets
as an important food for stock, espe
cially for pigs. Farmers whose cer
eal crops have failed owing to at
tacks from different kinds of para
sites are advised to grow linseed.
The latest reports from the country
show unprecedented activity in po
tato planting in spite of the bad
spring weather. s *

LIVERPOOL’S COURTESY
TO OUR SOLDIERS
LIVERPOOL, June 5.—Soldiers and
sailors of the United States forces
have been voted the free use of the
public baths in Liverpool by vote of
the city council. There are three
fine swimming pools available, and
no doubt many military and naval
men will take advantage of the priv
ilege.
BRITISH RATIONING RULES
WORKING SATISACTORILK
LONDON, June 5.—Seventeen mil
lion people in England are now ra
tioned for tea and steps are being
taken by the food controller to make
the rationing of tea uniform throng
out the country.
The rationing scheme has been so
successful that it has caused the Lon
don queues to fade away as if by mag
ic. The only ones that remain arc
the amusement queues, and a few
lard and one or two cat's meat
queues.
Until a fewr weeks age there were
tea queues every day in front of a
big merchant's store in Fleet street
and that, store reduced its business
hours to a minimum. Now there is
no queue and the store is open all
day. The explanation of the manager
is that the tea was not distributed
to the small stores whose customers
then came to the big stores and
formed queues.
The margarine shops, whose queues
used to reach round the 'block, are
now queue-less and have big displays
in their windows. The meat markets
seem full of food, and everyone seems
moderately satisfied.
Fomenting on the transformation
made by rationing in the appearance
of the city, one paper suggests: ‘‘It
would be good if those organs of pub
licity which made a big business of
queue photos that were afterward
reproduced in German papers and
made good German propaganda, would
now publish photos of the queue-less
cities and stocked shops.”

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
TO INCREASE JAM OUTPUT
LONDON, June 5.—The capacity
of the factories in which the govern
merit makes jam Tor the army and
navy is to be trebled this year. The
government started to make jam last

The principal fruits handled are sour
apples and plums. Strawberries, rasp

trade paper contains a report from
