GEORGE , Auctioneers , Valuers , House , & Estate Agents . The Food Question FORTUNE IN SCRAPS . WASTE THAT IS OF VALUE TO THE COUNTRY . Mr. Boffin , in " Our Mutual Friend , " made his fortune out of dust - mounds . But Mr. Boffin was not a typical Englishman ; it has been our national way to do things with a magnificent disregard for trifles , and , if this was not precisely a virtue , it was at any rate a generous shortcoming . But war is achieving what was supposed to be impossible . It is forcing the Englishman to change his national Careful Attention given to AGRICULTURAL SALES and PEDIGREE STOCK , ANTIQUE and MODERN HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE , HOUSE PROPERTY & LANDED ESTATES , habits .

There is universal discontent , ag- gravated by the prevalence of profiteering and The masses are war weary urgent of food shortage . and are simply being buoyed up by promises which are not in themselves a satisfactory form of diet where a hungry populace is concerned .

Since the war , our needs have set a good many active brains work- ing on the problem , and it is safe to say that there are few kinds of waste material of which the experts cannot now estimate the probable results with the money and labour involved . Methods of dealing with waste have improved enormously , and there are many kinds that Craven Arms and Hereford . can now be profitably treated that before the war were fit for nothing but to be destroyed .

LATEST TRACTOR FIGURES . от A very remarkable degree of proficiency is shown by the figures of the various tests competitions carried out at the Warrington meeting recently when women of Cheshire , Lancashire and Westmoreland showed how well they can do a wide variety of land work . Out of a total of 295 entries in the different classes only 12 of the women failed . Two candidates in the cwoman test obtained the fullest pos- obtianed full marks in threshing . In addition , sible number of marks ; two others did the same in motor tractor work ; and seven candidates Not one HEREFORDSHIRE RECORDS . Excellent records continue to be made by many of the Food Production Dept. tractors in different counties .
