I Child Abandoned at Llangunnor. MOTHER CAUITONED AND BOUND OVER. The Carmarthen County Police Court wife ( held at the Guildhall on Saturday, before Col. Dudley W. Drummond and Major T. H. Dowdeswell. Annie J. Morgan (aged: 20), was charged with abandoning 31 child. The defendant, who was represented by Mr H. Brunei White, pleadedi "Guilty." Supt. Jones said that on Thursday the 27th inst. about 11.30 p.m., a train arrived in Carmarthen from Swanseal. The train is known as the "munition train." A young woman carrying a baby arrived by that train. It was unusual to. see ai persen of that kind arrive by that train. She called at a house in Pensarn about hidniight. The hus- band came to the window; the defendant pleaded1 very hard to be admitted for the sake of the child. She said that she was going off by the 6 train to Llandilo in the morning and had come from Gowerton. She was allowed to stay in the house, and left at 5.30 a.m. At 6.45 a.m. the same morning she was seen on the Llanarthney road going towards Cape! Dewi. and was then about a mile from a place called Penddaulwyn. The road ran right through the farm of Penddau- lwyn. the house being on one' side of the road and the out-buildings on the other. About 8 a.m. Mr Griffiths, of Penddaulwyn, had occasion to go from the house to the out- buildings ,and on the same side of the road BtS the house he found a baby wrapped up in some clothes. He went to the out-buildings and called one of the servants, and at some distance they saw a woman travelling very fast in the direction of Oapel Dewi. It was a misty morning, and she turned into the lane and was lost sight of. A Mrs Ellis came to the rescue and: took charge of the child for the time being. She is an experienced matron, bing the mother of nine children. She said that the child was rather hungry, but was clean and well clothed. The act of the defendant had seemed to cast some re- flection on Mr Griffiths, but the defendant had since stated that he was in no way impli- cated in the matter. Defendant had been traced by means of a box which she left at the railway station. By means of that box she was traced to Glantowy Lodge. Mr White said that unfortunately th's was not the defendant's first lapse. She had pre- viously become the mother cf a child, and he had been instructed to take proceedings to have the amount of the order increased in respect of that child. Her parents- had been very strict with her after her first !aps(,, and she was very anxious to conceal this from them. She had been in service in Llanelly, and the child was born at Landore. The father of the child is in the Army, and at the present moment she did not know where he is. She dreaded the idea of going home with the baby, and acted as she- did without quite realising what she was doing. The Chairman pointed out that the defen- dant might have been brought up on a more serious charge. The child might have suffered a good deal, or it might have died. It was only a matter of good fortune and care on the part of the police that the unfortunate babv had not suffered a good deal more if not died. The defendant was bound over in the sum of £50 to be of good behaviour for twelve months.

WAR ALLOTMENTS. The Boaird of Agriculture and Fisheries has called1 the attention of the London County Council and the Councils of Borough and Urban Districts in England and Wales to the position with respect to alotments provided by Local Authorities under the Cultivation of Orders which will arise at the termination of the Avar, when D.O.R.A. ceases to operate. The Board's right of occupation of these allotments will then oease, and their continu- ance in occupation will be under the Defence of the Realm (Acquisition of Land) Act, 1916. This Act provides for the rent, terms, and conditions of the Board's occupation after the termilnation cf the war being settled, in default of agreement, by an arbitrator, and they are prepared at once to negotiate with a view to arriving at an agreement. The Board under the Act can remain it. the rent sha.il be ascertained as a general rule om the basis of the value, at the termina- tion of the Avar, of the land in the condition in which it was at the time of entry by th Board without regard to any enhancement o. depreciation of the value attributable to any buildings, works or improvements erected or made by the Board or the allotment holder The Moard under the Act can remain i., occupation for two years after the war, and for a further period of three years, if this i.- sanctioned by the Railway and Canal Com- missioners. The Board think it probable that they will avail themselves of the fu possible period of occupation, but desire thn j one of the terms shall enable the occupation to be determined by the Board at Lady Day or Michaelmas on giving three months notice.

The Board recognise that in some cases tho landlord may wish for a power to resume ocupation of the land or part of it at short notice if he should satisfy the Board that he reasonably requires the land for building, mining or other industrial purposes or for roads necessary therefor, and they are willing to accept a condition to this effect. THiE WARBLE FLY PEST. For years farmers, butchers, hide dealers and tanners illave been familiar with the damage caused to cattle, meat and hides by the ravages of the warble fly, but few have realised fuliy how extensive this damage is. A moderate estimate puts the annual loss in damage hides alone at upwards of £ 300,000. Add to this the damage done to "jellied beef" and the loss of condition of the animal attacked, and one realises to a certain ex- tent how much the country is paying to keep this undesirable pest in existence. La=t July the War Office, impressed by the damage caused to hides by this fly. called a Conference of all Government Departments, men of scince, traders and others familiar with the pest, and possible preventive mea- sures, to discuss the measures necessary to rid the country of the warble fly. This con- ference formed a committee to consider and recommend possible ways and means of ex. terminating the warble fly pest. A Scientific Sub-Cbmmittee, presided oover by Sir Stewart Stockman, C.Y.O., to the Board of Agriculture, has been appointed to supervise and control experiments which ore to be carried out in different parts of the country in order to discover, if possible, a method of abolishing this pest. A Govern- ment grant has been sanctioned for this pur- pose, a,nd the experiments are designed to furnish information on methods of prevent- ing the fly from laying its-eggs on the cattle, nnd on the effects of drugs in destroying the iarvas in the body of the host before they can produce deleterious effects on the mde. At the same time it is realised that with- out active co-operation on the part of the farmer any methods which may be recom- mended by the Scientific Committee for abolishing' the pest cannot achieve their ob- ject. Under the direction of the Joint Com- mittee Board of Agriculture and Ministry of Food, steps are accordingly being taken by means of leaflets, charts, diagrams and illus- trated lectures, etc., to bring home to farmers throughout the kingdom the damage done by the warbie fiyand familiarise them with the appearance life-history and habits of the insect. WART DISEASE OF POTATOES ORDER. The Board of Agriculture and Fisheries desire to draw attention again to the fact that under Article 4 of the Wart Disease of Potatoes Order of 1818 llû person is allowed to sdl or offer for sale by planting any pota- toes approved by the Board as immune from wart disease except under a license from the Board, unless the sale is to a dealer direct. The object of this requirement is to secure the supply of pure seed of immune varieties for planting, since the planting of mixed stxks in soil infected with wart disease is calculated to increase the spread of infec- tion.
