from the earth and that this moisture lies suspended in the air to return again as rain fail to under stand at times why there are such things as the drought which this year affected large soctions of the north american continent it is difficult to conceive that water could be taken at a time with none of it returning even in tho hours that are cool providing the lower temper ature which is supposed to condense the moisture into rain an answer in part is perhaps to bo found in great britain that island is this year suffering difficulties with its crops but thoy are not the same sort as in canada and the united states thoijo who have traveled recently through the rural areas of great bri tain have looked with deep concern upon the condition of the meadows it has been no uncommon sight they tell to observe haycocks lying in pools or water and whole fields of grain bat tered by the heavy rains beyond all hope of conversion into nutritious hay much cut grass has even been burned as it was considered unprofitable to cart and stack it if much of what re mains uncut is ultimately harvested is feeding value will be heavily impov erished that makes a picture altogether at variance with that on this continent where fields have been burned yellow because of lack of moisture the whole offers a pointed commentary on the action taken in some sections of the north american continent to regulate production by refusing to feed plow ing under or burning crops it points to the belief of some that nature al ways averages up and that it ought not to be interfered with at any rate one of the comments from britain is that because of the de veloping live stock industry increasing the demand for hay and the wet wea ther reducing the supply a call must be sent to canada for the fodder it is to bo hoped that when the sta tistics regarding crops are compiled thoy will show canada in a position to supply this overseas demand to examine a sea monster 40 feet long and having tusks
