SEED POTATOES .
can
To the Editor of the Kington Times . Sir , -Coleman , of mustard fame , was once asked how he made his fortune and he said out of waste , more people wasted mustard than used it . The I saw a sample of seed that the Food Produc- same applies to seed potatoes . Committee are distributing and I safely say that 1 cwt . ought to go as far as 2 owts . properly cut with the same equal results as planted whole . Let us go back to the great potato boom . Mr. Hodges , of Barons Cross . gave 10s . for 1lb . of Northern Star and ny taking cuttings and cutting to a single eye had 80 lbs . the first year . If this can be done in a time of plenty how much more so can it be done now that starvation is staring us in the face ? Yours truly ,

LIEUTENANT'S EXTRAORDANARY

The War Losses Commission on Tuesday re- served their decision in a claim for £ 170 made by Miss Vaughan for the occupation of a house at Weston - super - Mare . It was stated on her behalf that on the outbreak of sentry was posted in the Street for fear that a cable office might be damaged . In September ; 1914 , a lieutenant ar- rived and made demands of a rather extrag dinary character . He demanded the use of a drawing room on the first floor , and when it was suggested that he might have a downstairs room instead he sent men to carry a roll - top desk to the drawing - room .

The war has brought about with rapidity revolutionary changes which in its absence would have taken centuries of evolution to effect , and to no industry is this more applic- able than Farmers to agriculture . traditionally a conservative class , averse to inovation and new fangled methods , and from their point of view rightly so , for they have adopted their present methods of practice as a result of lessons learned in the hard school of experience . There are many in farming to - day who passed through the trying years of cheap grain and it is not a matter of sur- prise that many of them as Mr. Lloyd George said , " Shy at the plough . " It therefore speaks much for the innate patriotism of the agricultural community that they are making such a wholehearted response to the call for increased food production .
