BRITISH AGRICULTURE.
•‘There are three ways in which British agriculture could be treated,’’ remarks Sir John Russell, D.Sc., F.R.8., in his book “The Farm and the Nation.” “It could be: —(1) organised for the production from our own soil of as much food as is practicable; (2) organised for the provision of work for men displaced by modern methods and by machinery; or, (3) left to struggle as best it can against unrestricted imports of food from overseas, the farmer being entirely free to gain any possible profit for those working on the land regardless of the total amount of wealth produced. These three are entirely distinct and are in the main incompatible. The choice between them must obviously be made by the community, but it should be made soon; until this is settled we cannot get far with the solution of the problems involved.’’
