lrose as high as five feet. For the most part, lcoarse grass overlay the remainder of the area, iwhile valleys and steep slopes added to the natural difficulties encountered. The soils varied cori- siderably in nature, and included thin chalky

clay with flints, medium loams, and smaller areas tof heavy clay.

A firm of steam-tackle experts were first con- sulted, and their opinion was that the land was unplottghable, except at a prohibitive cost in la- bour and equipment. The East Sussex War Agricultural Committee undertook, however, to d0 the work. using standard general purpose Canadian tractor pluughs.

Work was begun with ten tractors, and the number was increased throughout I940 to a total of seventy. The ploughs were set to turn an II- inch furrow with an average depth of 5 itichcs. The skim coultcrs were rcmovcd from thc ploughs, it being found possible to achieve bet- ter results in burying the herbage by tilting the disc coulters several notches to land. The aver- age rate of ploughing was 2 1-2 acres per plough per day, but on occasion this figure was greatly exceeded, a result as high as 4 1-2 acres having been obtained. -

The turned-over grass was well covered by the methods employed, but the work called for in- telligent setting of the plough to meet the special meqtrirettients. The operators were tmtrained be- ffore the war began, most of them being unem- ployed men, but they quickly acquired skill as well as enthusiasm for the work.

Despite the severe conditions under which the ploughs were used, breakages were very few, and the Agricultural Committee report that on the whole this Canadian equipment has proved extremely satisfactory.

DIUNICIPAL DOCTOR SCHEME

Slr.—-l'n today's issue of the Guardian I read with keen interest an editorial covering “the municipal doctor scheme" tn the nralrie bro"- lnoes of Manitoba and Saskatchew- an. It. seems worth recordlnfl the fact that this constructive social leafs- latlon. particularly ln mv hﬂlre province of Saskatchewan. made more progress during the depression years than tn the whole previous llfe of the community. since the Dro- vince was established tn 1905.

This seems to me to be a sfronsl fruttasze of a series of seasons when the chief crops tn Saskatchewan either were failures or when the normal bushelalze was izrown but. the price-structure collapsed and the stuff was hardly worth haultnlt to market. Here. for some curious rea- son ln human affairs and conduct. is an endurinz social monument; to
