The Other Women's Land Army

... QUITE naturally, it is the women in corduroys and green jumpers who figure most in the land news these days. But there is another Land Army made up of wives and daughters of permanent land workers. Here are Mrs. Birkenshaw and Mrs. Collis, mother and daughter, not in uniform, because they were land u workers before the war, and so are not eligible for the W.L.A. With their dogs Duke and ...

Sussex Bulls at Haywards Heath

... THE annual spring show and sale of pedigree Sussex bulls was held at Haywards Heath on March 5. The entries numbered forty-five, but only one bull was included in the class for animals born before December 1, 1941. With two or three exceptions, the prices realised were not high. It is possible that this was partly due to the war change from grass to arable in the districts where the Sussex is ...

Keen Competition for Good Stallions

... IT is not easy to buy the best Percheron stallions at any time and at present there is something bordering on a shortage of them. The British Percheron Horse Society, with its admirably arranged series of shows and sales, is enabling breeders to keep the flow of horses moving steadily and is, in fact, able to record a gratifying increase in the number of registrations.

Up and Down the Land

Mechanised agriculture has made rapid strides, and enthusiastic farmers have endeavoured to run farms, especially where the fields are of considerable size, entirely by tractor work. But thev have found manv diffi culties ...

Future Problems for Private Flyers

... By Our Flying Correspondent TECHNICALLY the future for the private flyer in peace time has never looked brighter; organisationally (if I may use that clumsy word) it looks much less bright. And a real effort will be required if we are to give private flying enough freedom after the war to make it attractive. Designers have now amassed so much experience of all types of aircraft that there is ...

Planned Production Always Pays

... By Our Horticultural Correspondent AT this time it is easier, and probably more profitable, to turn the garden over in the mind than with the spade. We have had over-much heavy rain and those who heeded the oft-repeated advice to get on with the digging last autumn will have all the advantage. Those who were unable to do so, will do well to postpone digging until the soil no longer sticks to ...

Playbill Looks at the Shows: Sleeping Out (Piccadilly)

... Playbill Looks at the Shows Sleeping Out (Piccadilly) WHAT is it that makes a farce funny? Perhaps we had better ask what is it that makes the majority of farces, to me, at least, lamentably un funny. Surely the answer is the noise and the restlessness caused by piling ancient situation on ancient situation, and the almost entire absence of wit. Mr. Walter Ellis's Sleeping Out at the ...
