4B SCHEME
To The Editor
Sir, —I would like to let the public know how farmers are being inconvenienced by the closing of 4B Scheme. The position is that some farmers have made arrangements to have their land drained under this scheme to enable them to produce more. The suspension of the scheme at this stage leaves the farmers stranded as draining is the first operation that has to be carried out. It is very doubtful if the 4B men will take on other farm work as very few of them are horsemen or are able to work machinery. Therefore, they would serve the farmer much better by being left to carry out the ditching. A number of farmers have gone to the expense of purchasing and carting tiles, and now cannot get their ditches dug. This is a matter that I would like the Farmers’ Union to take up. I am sure it would have the sympathy of the farming community.—Yours, etc., FARMER. September 11, 1940.
