WATERLESS ALLOTMENTS
think it would be a good idea to bring to the notice of the councils the urgency for providing allotments with a source of water. We have rallied to the call of the Government to "Dig for Victory" and have been planning, as they instructed, to provide ourselves with vegetables all through the winter, but our crops which we planted in spring are dying through lack of water, and until it rains we will not be able to transplant anything. A few people are fortunate in having their allotments within a yard or two of their house, but the majority, like us, who live about a mile away, cannot carry water to our allot- ments and have to rely solely upon the weather, which at this time of the year hardens and cracks the ground, in which hardly anything can survive. I sincerely hope that something will be done about this in the near future, else this year's crops will be ruined.—Yours faith- fully, D. L. HARRIS. 9 Morford Way, Eastcote, Ruislzp, Middlesex.
