MARKET GARDENING AND RECRUITING

Mr C H Jones secretary to the Evesham and District Fruit Growers and Market Gardeners’ Association (which is affiliated to the National Fruit Growers Federation) informs us that he has received from the secretary to the Federation (Mr O B Cowley) the following circular:

WOMEN AND WAR WORK

YOUNG LADIES TO WORK IN THE GARDENS

FEMALE LABOUR ON THE FARMS

The Council of the Central and Associate Chambers of Agriculture at a meeting on Tuesday: Suggested work for old age pensioners.

A resolution was moved by Mr Amos, who alluded to the question of women labour, said that if they paid a sufficient price for it, in some parts they would get it.

The harvest was as important to the country as munitions.
