The Food Production Department desire to impress upon farmers the necessity of placing ! orders immediately for spare parts required to put binders and other harvesting machinery in repair . For months there has been great difficulty in obtaining spare parts for all kinds of agricultural implements and machinery and there is no prospect of any early improvement in the situation . The earlier orders are placed the greater is the chance given to manufactur- ers and agents to make arrangements to sup- ply in time . All machines and implements that can be repaired should be repaired . If it is necessary to purchase new machinery for the harvest or next season's cultivation , orders should be placed at once . SEEDLINGS FOR COTTAGERS . Some time ago the Food Production Depart- ment suggested to the owners of large gardens , and especially those of them with a fair amount of glass - frames and greenhouses - that they might do important National Service by supplying their neighbours with seedling , plants . It is interesting to learn that this advice has been widely followed in many parts of the country and that a considerable area of glass this spring is being handled on the lines laid down . A specific instance has been reported to the Department this week . Mr. William Heycock Rippin of Kirby Muxloe , Leicester- shire , writes that he has not only planted an extra acre of his own land with potatoes to be course to others in his district . goes state In this village ⚫I have arranged with owners of greenhouses to raise onion plants , which when ready for transplanting in the garden , are to be supplied to cottagers at 50 for twopence .

PROVE IT TO - DAY ROSS & SON , Ltd. , High Street , PURCHASE OF POTASH MANURES . It has been necessary hitherto , under the Order controlling potassium compounds and blast furnace flue dust , for intending purchasers of these materials to apply to the Controller of Potash Production , 117 , Piccadilly , W.1 . , for licenses to purchase . The Food Production Department announce that an arrangement has now been made with the Ministry of Munitions whereby no special license will be required by actual users , to buy blast furnace dust contain- 13 per cent . or less potash ( K20 ) in any quantity and other potash fertilisers ( including blast furnace dust containing more than 13 per cent . of potash ) in quantities not exceeding 3 tons in any one month . If larger quantities are required , it will still be necessary to apply for a license to purchase . This concession applies only to the actual users of the fertilisers , e.g. , farmers , nursery- men , allotment holders , & c . , and it must be understood that it contains no guarantee that supplies will always be available . An impression seems to exist in certain quar - ih ters that it is already a little late to break up grass land for allotments if they are to he successfully cropped this year .

Little opposition was encountered , and at 8.20 our Australian mounted troops entered the village , subsequently establishing themselves on the line of the Jordan and the Wadi Auja . The weather continues bad , with mists and heavy rain . Our casualties in the fighting of February 20 were again slight .

For a similar offence Percy Collerick , of Teviot- street , Poplar , had to pay £ 3 . Reuben Duran , managing director to Nathan , Ltd. , Jewish butchers , was at Marylebone fined £ 15 for meat overcharges . The defence was that it was kosher meat , and that the meat was weighed before it was " pouged " or made fit for Jewish consumption . The magis- trate suggested that kosher butchers should not serve non - Jewish customers . Fines of £ 600 were imposed at Cardiff on Wednesday for excessive consumption of meat at the Cardiff Exchange Club . The Renata Hotel , Brighton , was fined £ 100 for exceeding the meat allowance in the two weeks preceding Christmas , and incorrectly The capture of Jericho by General Allenby deprives the enemy of one of the chief focal points of his defensive scheme in Palestine .

The essential thing to be borne in mind is that to meet the food situa- tion redoubled efforts on the part of small cul- tivators must be made and made forthwith .

An amazing story of deception on the part of a young wife was told in the Divorce Court on Tuesday by Sir E. Marshall Hall , K.C. , who appeared on behalf of Reginald Stuart Kemp - Seriven , of the Army Service Corps . Before the war Lieutenant Kemp - Scriven was an East India merchant , and one day whilst driving his car in Croydon he stopped to remedy a small breakdown .
