In certain cases workers who have been invited by the Wages Board to serve as representatives state that their employers have raised objections , and , in one or two cases , have even gone so far as to threaten men with dismissal if they ac- cept the invitation to serve on a District Wages Committee . We , as the representatives of farmers on the Wages Board , wish to express our earnest hope that no eniployer will place any difficulty whatever in the way of men who may be selected to represent his class .

The Food Production Department has now provided 212,401 plots under the Cultivation of Lands Order . Last week the Inspectors of the Department visited 31 different districts to deal with allotment matters , and on their advice local authorities acquired 828 acres , making provision for 11,724 new allotments .

Rationing is in full swing , and the wonder is not that it has come , but that it has not come before . We are indeed a lucky nation to have gone far into the fourth year of the war be- fore it has been found necessary to limit our food . The other countries at war have known the pinch of hunger for a long time , and some have faced starvation , but we have had to endure nothing worse than inconvenience . Yet . incredible as it may be , there are many people who do not recognise the good luck we At the last meeting of the Devon Executive have had so far , and who tay by every means Committee approval was given to a scheme for in their power to dodge the restrictions now the distribution and sale of horticultural pro - enforced upon us . duce brought forward by Mrs. Whetham . The One pretty trick not commonly practised scheme provides for the issue of 5s . shares , is to dodge the afternoon tea rule . 1s . to be paid on application . The shares will regulation limits meals served between 3 and carry interest at the rate of 5 per cent . , any 5.30 p.m. to 1 oz . of bread , cake , bun , scone balance of profits above this to be divided or biscuit . That is quite enough for anyone , but greedy people are not satisfied , and they among the producers whose stuff is handled . buy a bag of buns or cakes at the counter and take it into the restaurant with theur . Some people do it surreptitiously , but others make a boast of it , thinking themselves very smart . It is not smart to dodge regulations -- it is simply dishonest and exceedingly stupid . The rules to limit our food are not made to amuse the authorities or to harass the public . They are made for our protection , to save us from hunger nd the Hun , and everyone who breaks the rules is utterly selfish . MILK DEPOTS . The scheme for the establishment of Milk Depots which the Board of Agriculture 18 promoting through the Machinery of the Agri- cultural Organisation Society has been taken up more enthusiastically in Wales than in some parts of England .

They professed to represent the Food Control Department , and ou being shown the sugar cards pointed out alleged mistakes and carried them off " to have them corrected . " Of course , the poor confiding housewives saw them no more , and the tricksters no doubt had a fine haul of sugar . No one should give up a sugar card to anyone without proper authority being shown , and it is the duty of everyone to report anything at all suspicious to the Local Food Authorities .

FOOD PRODUCERS ' ASSOCIATIONS . A movement is on foot in Essex for the for- mation of Parish Food Producer's Associations . The idea is to have a committee cnsisting of two farmers , two labourers , a chairman and a secretary , whose pleasant duty it will be to stimulate food production in each parish .
