The number of Horticultural Representa- tives in England and Wales associated with the Food Production Department is now 794 and they are doing a great deal of work in connection with the organisation of food pro- duction in gardens and allotments . Horticul tural Sub - Committees of the County Agricul tural Executive Committees have now been formed in Bucks , Cambs . , Cornwall , Devon , Hereford , Northanipton , Oxford , Salop , War wick , Wilts , and Worcester . These Sub - Com mittees are expected to make a marked influence on the wk of food production by BATH AND WEST SOCIETY.amateurs during the year .

" The Prime Minister has said it straight out , and now it rests with us to make up our minds which we are going to do . The words apply to everybody in the land , rich and poor , men and women , young and old . For if we don't want to go under - and that is unthinkable it is absolutely necessary for every man and woman to do his or her utmost . We must go on and on adding to our efforts or we must go under . shows . THE CATTLE RATIONS . The Food Controller has taken a further step in the direction of completing the machinery for the rationing of cattle and other animals by the issue of the Cattle Feed- ing Stuffs ( Licensing ) Order . Orders recently issued have fixed maximum prices , set up Port and Provincial Feeding Stuffs Committees for control of distribution , and have required Three years ago we were up against the priority in supply to be given to cows in Jones ( who is giving up the farm ) to Sell by Munition shortage and if we had not gone on milk .

Satisfactory progress is reported by the Department's Inspectors entrusted with the negotiation of new allotments in districts where a hitherto unsatisfied demand has ex- isted . Twenty - eight centres were visited last week with the result that the Local Authori- tics concerned are acquiring 625 acres of ground and providing 9,106 new allotments . The Leeds authorities are laying out 5,000 allotments of about 1 / 15th of an acre on 333 acres . Perhaps the most striking feature of the allotment expansion is the activity in this matter of the northern miner . At Consett , 9. 1918.

Mrs. Jones exhibited some emotion on hear- ing the result . She remarked that she was absolutely sure the dog had done nothing . Could she have it sent right away ? The Chairman : It might do damage there . We can do nothing more . Mrs. Jones : It is quite an injustice , I am sure . Mr. Wallis suggested that the case might be met if the dog was sent avtay ? The Chairman said that once a dog took to habits like that it would do it anywhere . In a town it would bite children and in the coun- try it would worry sheep . No one could be more fond of dogs than he was . Mr. Matthews asked what time the Bench fixed for the dog to be destroyed . TERRIER ORDERED TO BE DESTROYED .
