COMPULSION IF PERSUASION FAILS . The President of the Board of Agriculture reminds War . Agricultural Committees of the need for increased corn production , and the powers given them to enter upon , occupy , cul- tivate , and put in the seeds they want grown , whether corn or potatoes , on land which they find to be insufficiently cultivated or not cul- tivated at all . They will do it by persuasion wherever they can , and make a bargain with the man to do it , but behind persuasion they The position has not altered . It remains the same to - day as it was six months ago : Executive Committees must try and carry the farmer with them , and the only way to do that is by being prudent and careful , and fair in the choice of land which they want to have ploughed up .

For several months there has been a great scarcity of glace kid until at last , supplies are almost unobtainable .

Economy , therefore , is the deciding factor in the adoption of a fashionable style as a utility product . We are now showing the latest designs in these elegant boots - one of which we illustrate .
