STORE WHEAT IN BRITAIN. -- Food Supply in Time of War Dis. cussed in Old Country. London, Aug. 28.--"What the coun try requires for national safety is that some arrangement should be arrived at by which the American and Cana- dian farmers should store their Wheat here instead of storing it upon the other side, and let ws have small quan- tities av we want it." In these words Mr. Yerburgh, M.P., refers to the report of the royal com- mission which has been investigating the question of the nation's food sup- Jy in war time. I was to Mr. Yer burgh's initiation that the appoint- ment of the commission was chiefly due, ° "Mt has often Been said that British wheat, being naturally damp, will not wep for any length of time, but I dis- roved this some time ago by buying British wheat, and sending it to Ber- tin, where it was dried by a Special vrooess," said Mr. Yerburgh. "That wheat kept excellently for two years, and made first-rate flour. I have frequently advocated the use of this drying process among farmers in England, but without avail. It is ob vious that 'the country must' depend largely on America and Canada for wheat, and 1 cannot . see the advan- te of an acreage bounty for wheat raising at home, The soil might not be suitable. It would be far better for the government to have large stores of wheat under its control, and to know just where to lay hands on it in case of an emergency." --r---------- THROUGH RUSSIAN EYES.

After long and fruitless ne- gotiations it would seen that we are on the eve of what, Russia has long desired, a great battle between Gen. Lincvitch and Field Marshal Oyama."
