PRACTICAL WISDOM
FIFTY YEARS OF FARMING, by James Keith, with toreword by Sir William Ogg; Faber and Faber, English price 12/6. \J OSTLY arable farming, with dairy- *"* ing and sheep, and in a big way17,000 acres, in fact, in Aberdeenshire and Norfolk. Nothing new here, but much practical wisdom and all interesting reading, especially the story of the reclamation of derelict farms in . Norfolk before and during the war. A book for the practical man, but well worth a place on the student’s bookshelf. Major Keith has a nice sense of humour; this bit was new to me. Of farm weeds he’ writes: "Widows’ weeds are the only kind which disappear easily. If a suitable man _ says ‘Wilt thou. thev immediately wilt."
