TWO FICTURES (top and) left) from a Hertfordshire farm which produces thousands of chicks and eggs, at the same time affording valuable train- ing for many Land Girls, who will materially help to ensure an ample food supply. The little evacuee in the picture above wlll' obviously become a poultry farmer.

SCHOOLBOYS CONSIDER. since being evacuated, that botany lessons are far more Interesting when held in the country than when held in Lown classrooms. On the right are pupil of Cadworth Modern School, near Barna- ley, at work in the new glaze, house in the school's large kitchen garden.

IN A FEW WEEKS food rationing will be in force in England, but It is as well to know that the position on the Food Front is good and that advances in the production of home- grown produce are being made with case and efficiency. A glimmering of the really extensive activities in this direction now being made up and down the country is scan in this page of pictures. Above are women who have come to the aid of a Lancashire farmer, gathering the crop of potatoes, described by the farmer as 'wonderful,"

NATIONAL SERVICE-Men in the industrial, village of Bamber Bridge, near, Prosion, are doing in a small way a great job óf work on the land. Some time ago, when mills 'In2 their area' beland to provide enough work they enlarged their small plots, which started with one sere between 16 men; to fivo.me acres between 10, and now in time of emergency they are inckiing their job with renewed vigour. and ineldentally setting a good example to others.

THERE'S PLENTY OF FOOD-and plenty of ways of "dishing it up.". Here, members of the Women's Auxillary Territorial Service, who are taking over the important task of feeding the troops in tralulng in this country, are seen finding out from an experienced Army cook. Just what the Tommies like and. how they like it cooking. The sergeant, of course, will serve it up

SILVER SPECULATION Over-Bullishness Causes Difficulties in Bombay

London, Dec. 4. The Axing of the price of silver was delayed for an hour to-day due to the critical speetlative situation In Bombay where the local price was | equivalent to 31d. per ounce,

The difficulties on the Bombay market were attributed to over- bullishness, speculators reportedly having bought SQITIO 20,000,000 ounces, hoping to re-sell to up- country hoarders. But the latter are. strangely slow in buying at the pre- sent rate, and purchases have been made at

at the rate of only a few thout- sand ounces daily, hence the feats that the Bombay price will topple.

Paradoxically the "bears" are also worried. Dealers sold silver, not in their possession,, and are finding Ue utmost dimculty in securing the actual metal for delivery.

In the meantime both London and Bombay are endeavouring to check the Indian silver-boom without pre- elpitaling a collapse; hance the Lon- don price is being kept Insulated from thỏ Bombay price.—Unlied Press.
