IE ' Increased Production - . Agricultural production in North Western Europe has in- creased by about two per cent annually since 1930 it has kept pace with the increase in popula- tion since 1938 and in the United Kingdom considerably exceeded it. This result has been obtained with lower imports of animal feeding stuffs and the index of production net of imported feeds exceeds the index of gross pro-. duction -by - about tive per cent. In 1952-683 the production of cereals and sugar exceeded the Fern) of the four previous years, but the production of. po- tatoes was lower and the weather was not generally favourable for Sweating H Out -- Caryl Whit- tier Chessman, 'imprisoned au- thor of "Cell 2466, Death Row," ° -__----may_ be. executed' "before his 'prison novel is published in July. . Described as a genius, Chessman is scheduled to die in San Quen- tin's gas. chamber on Mdy 21. unless he gets a joy of execu; tion from the U. S. Supreme Court.

By BOB ELLIS . ~ been - criticism, With an. excellent harvest, the production' of bread grains in most continental countries equal- led and in a few cases surpassed the prewar average. Except in Francg the output of coarse -graing was generally greater than before the war. Italian Production Down In Italy expansion of agricul- tural production has not kept pace with the increase in popu- - lation: Most progress has been achieved in special products such as fruit, vegetables, wine and in- : dustrial crops, most of which are largely grown for export. A de- cline in" the cereal area has not compensated by higher yields, and coarse grain produc- tion in particular is considerably less than before the war. Live- stock production as 'a whole is not yet at the prewar level, but is approaching it for milk and eggs. A somewhat larger produc- -tion of rice and sugar has been a feature of Italian agriculture in recent years. How far Italian production is lagging behind can best be judg- ed by comparing the average yield per hectare of the years 1948-52 with the average of the period of 1934-38. While Western Eur- ope has increased its production by 15 per cent, Mediterranean productich is down six per cent. In rice and-maize--in spite of- the first-mentioned larger pro- duction--they produced in 1948- 52 only 83 per cent of the ayerage of 1934-38. Maize and rice aré the most important staple foods of Italy. Italian Politics concentration of land ownership e in large holdings on which the asants work either as share giEoppers or for very low wages, the main stumbling block' for ie formation of a new govern- ent. The situation is clearly re. sognized-by all parties. The parties on the extreme right want to maintain the sta: ' tus quo, -those on the extreme. left -- Communists and Nenui Socialists--are aiming at "tofali- tarianism and within the Chris. tian-Democrats, = party of the Centre, opinions are divided. Signor Fanfant, téader of "the ~ social midded faction of the Christian-Democrats, go to-it alone and has antagon- ized the three small parties of the old De Gasperi coalition, the Liberals, Republieans - and' Demo: cratic Socialists, There is still hope that the old coalition can be rebuilt, This column welcomes sug: 'gestions, wise or foolish, and all or destructive and will 'try to answer any question.

He was |" about as tough as they come, and the following tale -- borrowed largely from Bill Stern's "FA- VORITE BOXING STORIES" -- a must for every fight-fan's li- brary--tells of the deadly feud between Nelson and one of his great rivals, Jimmy Britt. FER SY - The fighters were as unlike as they could be, Britt was young, handsome, intelligent, a smooth dandy who not only acted like a perfect gentleman but looked the part in his. Prince Albert coat 'and high hat. On the other hand, Battling Nelson, the Durable "Dane, was a hardboiled, tough little man with a weazened face and a tangléd mop of wiry hair that defied the discipline of a comb and brush, Nelson's idea of fashion consisted of turtle-neck "sweater and a cap. * * "TIEN One day, Battling Nelson, at- tired in his tasteful ensemble of sweater and cap caught a glimpse of Jimmy Britt in his smart Prince Albert and shiny high hat. The 'idea' of a prize fighter wear- ing a hdt like that positively in- furiated the little tough guy. He determined on the spot to de- stroy Jimmy Britt together: with: - his fancy clothes, slick manners, and, above all, his high hat. y * * * It was inevitable that these two fighters meet in the ring, They came to face each other in. . & 'crowded arent under the hot "blue sun of a California sky, As Nelson glared -across the ring at calm Jimmy Britt, he could still ses the high hat in his- mind's : eye, i. -¥ bd ¥ When they met in the middle t looked and what the -saw there sent a cold chill down "his bdck.

Britt, at the end of his' patience," "and somewhat battered and groggy himself from the unending charge of his opponent, stood toe to toe, slugging it out with Nelson. He began to realize that his adversary was determin- ed to destroy him, and that a beating was not enough for the Durable. Dane ring in victory. The constant snarl of Battling Nelson, "I'l lick stopped boxing and take from the you, you with your top hat!" made Britt realize at last that.
