War-time Suggestions

Form a village production group or allotment association. Plant plenty of Jerusalem artichokes. They yield heavily and will grow anywhere.

Do not save by omitting to buy and plant fruit trees and bushes.

Destroy wire-worm. Newly ploughed grass may conceal a quarter of a million to the acre. A heavy roller does much

service. W. BEACH THOMAS.
