what our soil and eliniate are capable of producing when intelligently and scientifically utilized. Evid- ciices are to be seen everywhere of the benefits of ini- proved and modern methods and the trail of the agri' cultural expert who is abroad in thc land is easily re- cognizable everywhere. Itis quite safe to infer from

` the opinions expressed by the holiday inakers that

_ such a continuity of cultivation has not been seen in

the pi'ovinifc as is to bc seen today. 'l`hcre are few ex- iceptioiis lo the general excellence, and the whole island

presents the appearance of a` continuous» wcll culti' vatcd farm. And the excellence is not confined to the field crops. ltesidences, barns, live stock. fences, `--all present an appearance of tinvarying thrift and progrcssiveness. i fl`he traveller by autoinobilc or carriage is ii;itnr;d lr iruerested in the roads which have in recent years

- MUNl'I`ION OUTPUT

'l`h_c Minster of l\ltinitions gave the lfousc of Coin-

nions a few days ago a most encouraging account of the work acconiplislieil in his department since it caiiie into existeiiee`in _lune of last year. llis figures may be sunimarizcd in the following way:

Shells.-'l`lie oi_.\tput which in 1914-15 it took i.:

lioine sources in the following periods:

18--pounder aminunition . _ . . . . . . . . ._ . . . .3 weeks l"ield liowitzer amniuiiitioii _ . . . . . _ .z weeks 1\lo<liuni-sized shell _ . . . . _ . . . . . . . ._ _ _ . . 11 days Ilcavy shell . . . ... _.4 days

ing to France every week about as much as the whole pre-war stock of land service ammunition in the country

monthly output of heavy guns increased more than six

scnt rate of output will eventually be nearly doubled.

l\'lachine-guns.-'l`he weekly output has increased

since the Ministry was founded, fourteciifold, and is still increasing. They shall very shortly have satis* lied all the i‘e1pii|'e1ncnts of the Llritish /\i'niy, :uid will then be able to turn their niaiiiulacture exclusive' ly to supply our allies.

the equipment of our Army now overseas, both in

from home sources alone.

Small-arnis /\1nniuiiition--The home production is

now three times asniucli a \veck as a year ago- 'l`hey have been able to meet all demands made by the War Office, and yet build up a stock which should remove anxiety for the future.

lligh l'ixplosives.--Tlie production is now 66 limes

as iiiticli as it was at the beginning of 1915. The week- ly consumptioii is between 11,000 and 12.000 tiines
