FARM PRODUCTION
GRATIFYING INCREASE IM BRITAIN. RESPONSE TO GOVERNMENT CALL. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, March 26. The Government scheme of grants to farmers who plough additional land to increase the food .supply and thus release tonnage needed for the import of other war supplies is stated to have had gratifying results. The “News Chronicle" says: “The farmers have laboured like Trojans to make a success of the ploughing campaign. If the weather is reasonably good during the next few weeks they will probably be able to complete the programme of 2,000,000 extra arable acres in addition to the 11.000.000 acres which would have been ploughed in any case."
