England and Food Production. A crabbed and skeptical citizen with a naturally bad disposition, or a sly German propagandist may be beard to ask. "Why does America have to work so hard to feed Europe? Why I aren't they producing their own food? j Not much of their land is In the hands of the enemy. What is England do ing?" In the first place. America is not working hard. We are only learning to live without wasting. We have no serious deprivations. And Europe is producing food. Every bit of land, both in France and England that is tillable, is now used for raising grain or vegetables. But it must be remembered that the United States has taken over the re sponsibility of feeding Belgium, which would actually starve otherwise, and that there are two millions of our own .men in Frence, England and Italy, and even in Russia, to whom supplies must go from home. As to what England is doing,, one has only to read in the War Cabinet Report to learn that she is producing much more food now than she did two years ago. There are now about 270.000 women in agricultural work in Great Britain. An active recruiting campaign was undertaken and pro vision was made for the training of workers by means of short courses at colleges, institutes or on the farms. Before the war there were about SO,000 women employed in agriculture in England, Scotland and Wales. The great expansion was due largely to the work of the volunteer organiza tion of the woman's war agricultural ; committees, village registrars and i -.> . ; District representatives. .There are 3,500,060 more acres under cultivation now than before 1916. Sorae of this land, under t,he-defense of the realm act, was cultivated under orders from the government. By law the government could enforce cultiva tion of land when ft was discovered that it was not properly tilled. . Steps have been taken to survey areas of land which could be improved by drainage. In Scotland a survey was made.of deer forests with. a. view to restocking tracts of land with sheep. Other districts which have never be fore been used as agricultural lands are now producing vegetables and grain. The government has taken possession of unoccupied land, and al lotted it In sections to city residents |'who would cultivate it in their spare time. The allied food administrators ore in touch with the food'situation of the whole world, and the program they have outlined is for the good of us all. America is not doing more than her share. In fact, the burden of war has fallen lightly upon us. We do not ex- < pect to be rationed by compulsion, as the British, French and Italians are. Our sugar ration of two pounds a month, for instance, is purely volun tary. i But we are asked, as patriotic citi zens of a great republic, fighting with worthy associates at our side. In the war, to conserve all lood by eating less, and to waste nothing. And there is no doubt that the American people will meet this emergency, as they have met others in the past. The End of a Perfect Garden. Before you say your last good-bye to your garden, pay it one more friendly visit. If there are any green tomatoes or last tiny cucumbers that have been overtaken by the cold weather, they may be made a de licious addition to the'winter stoijes by being pickled or used in chow chow and other pickle combinations. The last of the eggplant, -peppers and okra are also worth canning and the last planting of spinach should not be allowed to go to waste. Gather it to the last leaf and dry before storing. 1 Perhaps you have left a few odd ears of corn that were late in filling A Woman Is As Old As She Looks A man may be couldered young at 60 If he feels and look* well.

Dried lima beans are al most as good as fresh ones if they are well' soaked. - cooked thoroughly and served, with milk or a little white stock. ? ? String beans are good too, even if they do look yellow and dry and seem to hang-dejeetedly to the vines. Pick them and stpre them away. Some winter's night when you want to treat your family to some steaming hot bean soup, or some baked beans you will be thankful you saved these last few quarts that clung to the vines, after the early frosts. And now you come to the cabbage patch. You have cut off all the cab ba^s and put tHem away in the cel lar. But do you notice that on al most every stem left standing in the ground there were several tiny sprouts? Out these off and cook them, then serve with a white sauce. Is there anything else left in your garden? Surely you are not going to let those muskmelo-ns you were too late in planting and the cold weather has overtaken be burnt up as rubbish. Try some muskmelon pickles. Per haps you will be as pleasantly sur prised as the man who first took his courage in hand and ate a tomato.
