§ Colonel Carverasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the shortage of expert thatchers of corn stacks; and what steps he is taking to train new men?
Mr. HudsonI realise that the large increase in the acreage of land under cereals calls for additional skilled thatchers. County War Agricultural Executive Committees recognise the demand and are making such arrangements as are practicable in their respective areas to meet it.
