State Farming Idea Pushed
in Parliament American
Methods Will Be Used in
Teaching.
LONDOX (j John Hull may
sunn he Farmer John instead.
State farming, being pushed in
parliament by Dr. Christopher Ad
dison, minister of agriculture, ns
a partial cure for unemployment
and farm problems.
Thus fur his measure bus had
support Indicating its final pas
sage. 'I'hrt n In n In ntiilDv la n nnm.
plete reorganization of Knglnml'a
agriculture, U has three main
objects: large scale, mechanised
farming, the reconditioning of
hind, the settlement of unemployed
persons on it.
More than a million acres of
arable land has gone out of culti
vation in Knglnnd In the Inst few
years, according to Dr. Addison
a serious trend for nn island which
in a month can produce only
enough to feed itself for one week.
. t'sc American Method
Mriefly, the largo fnrms will be
demonstration tracts, where mod
ern mechanical farm methods,
such as commonly practiced in
America, will be taught, and large
scale farming eileouraged.
Not more than 60 of these are
contemplated. Here . farmers anil
even city-bred v workers can be
trained.
These demonstration farms are
to be purchased and held by the
ministry of agriculture, but con
trolled and managed by local au
thorities, universities and agricul
tural colleges.
The ministry, too, will have
power to purchase neglected land
by compulsion, to decide whether
and has been neglected and upon
which reclamation work is neces
sary. Thereafter the ministry is to
have power to let or sell the land.
Hmnll TiiiotH Planned
Most of the unemployed, how
ever, are not to be put on large
farms, but allotted tracts not lar
ger than nn acre. :1
" Cottages tire ,to .be provided
where needed,' seed,t fertilizer and
machinery supplied and the new
farmers financed to a' certain ex
tent. The bill gives tho minister power
to make loans to tenant for the
purchase of stock, feed, fruit trees
nnd the - other necessaries of a
fnrm. .,
