ALL COMMUNICATIONS FOR PUBLICATION MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE SENDER , NOT NECESSARILY FOR PUBLICATION . BUT AS A GUAR- ANTEE OF GOOD FAITH .. THE APPEAL FOR MEN . FIXED WAGE AND COMPULSORY CULTIVATION . The text was published on Wednesday of a bill presented by Mr. Prothero ( President of the Band of Agriculture ) , and supported by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , Mr. Munro , MORE and Mr. Duke , to encourage the production of corn and for purposes connected therewith , in- cluding wages and rents . There are five parts to the measure . Part 1 provides that Where the average price per quarter for wheat or oats in any year is less than the minimum fixed by the Act , the grower shall be entitled to be paid the difference by the Board of Agriculture . Minimum prices are fixed as follows : - To the Editor of the Kington Times . Dear Sir , The appeal for another 500,000 men in last week's daily papers , seems to me absolutely ridiculous , considering the wholesale exemptions that are being granted in the country . There are at present men around us who are in every way fit and whose only excuse is that they are earning good money for their employers and themselves . Crops for Year . It is these men one can hear almost every day , one might almost say agitating against the high cost of living . These men have not yet felt the war , they do not realise its seriousness , Let them go to Belgium and start from Popherigne along the Ypres road pass- ing through the once pretty villages scattered on either side , which are now literally heaps of earth , blown beyond all recognition . England has not felt one atom of warfare , let these young men see the mothers tending the half - starved babe , her home in ruins , her husband gone , her pretty daughter taken from her by some Hun officer . I was not inspired by Union Jacks " or Kings and Queens , patriotism for my country had no claim on- my feeling . No , it was for these ruined homes , those outraged daughters , those broken - hearted mothers . It is that that 1917 1918 1919 1920 1921 1922 Wheat . Price per Qr . 60 / - Oats .

False claims are punishable with six months ' imprisonment . MINIMUM RATES OF WAGES .

On Easter Day the Primitive Methodists held their Sunday School Anniversary , the services being conducted at 2.30 and 6 p.m. by Mr. John Watkins , of Leominster . Book prizes were distributed in the afternoon to all the scholars and additional prizes were given by Mr. Cecil Griffiths , the Superintendent , to all the scholars who made a full attendance during the year . Recitations , duets , quartettes and choruses were rendered by the children , as- sisted by the choir under the able conductor- ship of Mr. W. B. Morgan , whilst the Misses Thomas and Miss Peggy Morgan presided at the organ . The services were well attended , and collections were made in aid of the School Fund . Appended is the programme : - Hymn , The Children ; recitation , Frank Ed- wards ; recitation , Gladys Lester ; quartttte , W. B. Morgan and party ; recitation , Leslie The rate for able - bodied men starts as soon as the bill becomes law , although the minimum may not have been fixed . An Agricultural Wages Board is to be set up by the Board of Agriculture , in consultation with the Minister of Labour , and it has power to fix minimum rates for piece work as well as time work , for special classes of workmen and for special areas . A wage at the rate of 256. a week is the mini- mum payable . RENT - RAISING FORBIDDEN . Part 3 forbids the raising of agricultural rents as a consequence of minimum prices . Within 30 days of receiving a notice to quit , the tenant may ask the landlord if his intention is to obtain an increase of rent , and the notice will not take effect until the Board of Agriculture has decided whether it is valid . The provision applies to notices given since February 23 , 1917 , and applies only where the arable land exceeds one - tenth of the holding , and is at least five acres . The Board of Agriculture is given power to enforce cultivation , and eter- If after due warning the tenant . fails to comply with the directions given to him the Board may authorise the landlord to mine the tenancy or may direct that the ten- ancy should be continued , but that any cov- enant or condition which in their opinion interferes with the cultivation of the land should be suspended .

FRAUD ON THE GOVERNMENT . WOMAN SENT TO PRISON . Elizabeth Wing , of Munton Road , New Kent Road , London , was , onl a summons , charged at Westminster on Tuesday , with ob- taining a Government dependent's allowance by fraud . Prosecuting for the City of London Terri- torial Association , Mr. Philip Conway said this was a particularly bad case of defrauding the Government . For a whole year the ac- cused had continued to draw an allowance after the man she lived with as her husband had been discharged from the army with a disablement pension . The man knew nothing of the imposture , and when informed at the directed the return of the ring paper when outset of these proceedings he stated that he his services terminated . obtained by the fraud was about £ 50 .

The habit that earthworms seem to have of leaving their burrows and " going out in the rain at first suggests the possibility of their liking to do it . The fact that many lose their lives on impenetrable brick or cement walls show that there is a peril in the habit that only a sportsmanlike creature could be ex- pected to face . naturalist , the earthwormn leaves its burrow As a matter of fact , says a worm inmay extend as far as four feet into the because it must . The burrows of the earth- earth , but , as a rule , they extend no further than the depth of the black or humus layer . In the humus they obtain their food by swal- lowing soil as they burrow along , and digesting from it the partially - decayed bits of leaves , burrows connect with the surface , for the sticks , and so forth . Here and there the animals come up , usually at night , and deposit the lumpy little masses of undigested soil material that are common sights in lawns the earthworm become quickly filled or in pastures . During a rain the burrows of water , but as long as with the soil round the burrow takes up the water the little creature : is content . When , however , the soil is saturated with water , the air contained in the water in the burrow is soon used up by the garthworm's breathing organ , the skin . There is no reason for supposing that the earthworm deliberately makes a choice between suffoca- tion at home and possible extermination by larger animals above . It simply acts on the stimulus brought about by lack of exygen , and crawls upwards to the air . Doubtless most of which they can easily make for themselves the worms find their way back by new holes , when the rain is over ! meals in restaurants and hotels last week , Lord Davenport , when making restrictions for BATTERY FOR SELENIUM CELLS . which would have the effect of considerably e - it often happens that such cells are made in stated that he was engaged in framing Orders For experimental work with selenium cells ducing the consumption of cakes and pastry . very small size with consequent high resist- and also of considerably curtailing the five ance . o'clock tea habit so far as these articles of food were concerned , and thereby effecting a great saving in flour , sugar , and labour . con- Nothing is yet known as to the actual scope of the forthcoming Orders , in the drawing up of which Lord Devonport has carefully sulted all interests concerned ; but it may be taken for granted they will be sufficiently dras tic to cause a very considerable reduction in consumption .
