WORRIED WINSTON.

Mr. Winston Churchill, British Sex- retary of State for War, according to a pretty hole story told by the Morn ing Fest, was desirous of purchasing some hay for use at his country re silence. A neighbouring farmer was willing to supply it, but pointed out that the purchase could only be effect- ed through the Divisional Purchasing Officer. Thus Mr. Churchill dis covered that he was forced to pay £4: 10. a ton more for the bay than the farmer was willing to accept privately. Fuming with indignation. Mr. Churchill wrote to the President of the Board of Agriculture, confessing that he was a child in these matters, but extremely curious as to the oficial necessity for an order having such a disastrous result on the

of hay. The letter drew from the urbane Lord Ernie Mr. Prothero that Bas) a reply to the effect that Mr. Churchill's curiosity was shared by the Board of Agriculture. The order in question was made by the Secre tary of State for War and Lord Ernie suggested that inquiries at the War Office might lead to a solution of the matter The correspondence then' ceased.

A RESULT OF DISORDERS.

There seems to be an ever-increas- ing crop of disastrous consequences of the recent disturbances which inevitably fall on the provincial landowners and fellahin. Attention has already been drawn to the loss) due to the escape of water from the Assuan reservoir and the damage to railways. It now appears that for two merths it was impossible for veterin ary inspectors to exercise their usual control overrinderpest and other epide mic diseases, and this fact has entailed a great extension of the plague. The movement of the cattle into infected areas was unrestrained, dis- eased cattle were not isolated, and protective inoculation was suspended, and even now cannot be carried cut expeditiously in many places In Up- per Egypt. The result is that the provinces are now faced with a severe and widespread epidemic, which will naturally react on agriculture gener aliy, seeing now how largely, it de pends upon the cattle of the country. A good bull costs £40, but the in- direct loss is probably out of all proportion. The infected provinces are Assuan, Girga, Assiut Fayoum, Galiubia, Sharkia, Gharhia, Manufia, Behera, and Dakablia,
