United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.! PARIS, July 15. Max Lambert, the well-known , Filcnieh agrjcultujrist. has published spine .remarkable statistics showing ’that. English production is superior to the French production, and contrary to the general belief in France, the’ production - is greater; " The 'production per hectare in the two. countries is as follows: . Wheat—ln Britain, 20.8 hundredweight ; in France J2 bunclred-weight. Barley—ln Britain, 20.3 hundredweight; in France 14.5 hundred-weight. Oats—ln Britain, 20.4 lmndrpdiveight; in France, 15.1 hundredweight. Potatoes—ln Britain, 149.5 hundredweight; in France, 76.2 hundredweight. Beet sugar—Tn Britain, 208.0 hun-dred-weight; in France, 211.0 hundredweight. Mr Lambert expresses the opinion that this superiority is not due to the English soil heiitg more fertile than the French, but to the judicious use of manures and to more clever drainage and irrigation, and the use of more perfect machinery. ''Moreover. France is suffering from excessive splitting up of' farm properties.
