" They havo tried anteed beforehand . to select farmers who will take some trouble SOME SIGNIFICANT FIGURES . Very surely , and not so slowly as seemed likely earlier in the year , the tractor on the farms of England and Wales is justifying the faith of its advocates . The demand for trac . tors to - day not merely exceeds the supply , but promises to exceed the supply even when the full complement ordered by the Food Produc- tion Department for the winter - spring gramme is available . As a whole the farming community may be said to have been pletely converted by recent experience to belief in the value of the tractor . In the week ending Sptember 28th one of the tractors con- signed by the Food Production Department to the West Sussex Committee ploughed with The examination area was between 50 and 60 a three - furrow plough , 36. acres of ground in acres in extent on the farm of Messrs .

SIR ARTHUR YAPP'S APPEAL . With the object of preventing any wastage of the plentiful potato crops , Sir Arthur Yapp . with advantage by allotment holders and small growers . 1. - Lift the potatoes in dry weather . Grade into sizes ( large , medium and small ) . Re move diseased tubers as they are picked up . 2. - Store the potatoes loosely in small stacks So as to allow the air to circulate freely . The stacks should be protected from rain and frost . COAL TO COST MORE . The Board of Trade have increased the price of coal to the pit's mouth by 2s . 6d . a ton to . meet the cost of the war wage recently granted to the miner . The increase takes effect in the case of house coal from 15th October , and in the case of other coal from 17th September . It does not apply to coal exported to the Allies . In making this addition to the price of coal increased costs of production other than the war wage have not been taken into account . Mines . an HOPS ORDER IGNORED . HEAVY PENALTIES ON KENT GROWER .
