A Food Shortage Coining A century ago less than nine per cent, of the people of Canada ard tho United States lived io cities. Today over tifty per cent, are crowded into urban centres. If wo were Uepeudeot upon the sickle and flail to cut and thresh our i;rain as our grandparents were, we would be unable Iu feed the multitude iu thacitios. F.veu us it is, we are rapidly approaching a period like that which preceded th? downfall of the Roman Empire. The decline aud fall of that groat empire was traceable to this cause â€" the people flock- ing to the cities until famine stalked in the laud. Unless we are greatly mistaken, next winter will see a foDd shortage â€" not necessarily in Europe â€" but in this land of plenty.
