BRITISH FARMING
ASSURANCE OF STABLE FUTURE. MINISTER ADVOCATES EXPANSION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. December 11. The Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Hudson, in a speech said that for the first time for generations agriculture workers could look forward to the future with reasonable confidence, and the landowners, farmers and workers could plan ahead with reasonable security. It was reasonable to promise that during the war the existing system of fixed prices yot Id be maintained and that the year after the war —a critical year for agriculture —would not see the end of the control. The Government was taking energetic measures to make available additional supplies of the fertilisers required to increase production from the available land and to bring grassland and derelict land into full production, he said. To offset the steadily'increasing demands on the fighting services, Mr. Hudson urged farmers to train additional labour, most of which must be female. He paid a tribute to the magnificent work of the women’s land army.
