Radnorshire Teachers. HIGH SHERIFF'S GENEROSITY. A meeting of the Radnorshire Teachers was held in the Council School, Llaridrindod, Oil Saturday last to consider a scheme for making the best possible use of the interest on ztl,000 War Loan for 4 years set aside by Mr Luther Greenway for the interests of the teach- ers in the county. Mr Perfect, Knighton, presided and Mr Greenway was expected to address the meeting, but at the last moment found himself unable to attend owing to illness. Mr Vaughan Vaughan very kindly filled his place and in his address gave an outline of what Mr Greenway would like to be the outcome of lib, generous gift. The idea was to help every teacher in the county to purchase War Certificates, thus giving them an incentive to save for the future. The meeting ultimately adopted a scheme which will be submitted to Air Greenway for his approval. Mr Culley (Presteign) in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr Greenway "aid that tli.3 High Sheriff had always shown great kindness and generosity to the teachers of Radnor. He was a gentleman who showed by his works that he appreciated the labours of the teachers in the schools, whalever way bo HI of tftcliers bv other/?, they could always rely upon the friendship of their generous donor. He had come a long way to the meeting, but he would have come much further to show how he appreciated Mr Greenway's kindness. He s!;oul<J like to include in the vote Mr Vaughan. who always met the teachers with friendliness and geniality. Mr Morris seconded. Mr Vaughan in replying said he knew that Mr Green- way had the interests of the teachers at heart, and as he ha.d done something for the Clergv and the Xon- conformist Ministers, he thought he would like to do something for the teachers also. As -for himself he was always willing to do what he could on their behalf.

RINGWORM AND ECZEMA. OFF SCHOOL 11 MONTHS, AND QUITE I BALD. SPLENDID DOUBLE CURE BY ZAM-BUK. The story of a wonderful cure of skin disease was related to a London Pressman by Mrs Edith Wat-kins, the wife of a tramway employee, 'Jiving at 64, Tramway Avenue, Lower Edmonton. "When my son, Arthur (now 11), was 5 years oul." Mrs Watkios said, "I noticed some bald patches on his head one dlay when he came home from school. In spite of using an ointment from the chemist, the patches got bigger and more numerous. A doctor said that Arthur had evident- ly caught ringworm. Soon the greater part or his head w-as covered with angry, itchy places. i All his-hair came off—in fact, the little fellow was (juite bald. "I was told to dress Arthur's head with iodine. I kept on with this treatment for three or four months, t'lil the .house seemed to sine)I of nothing else. But my efforts were in vain. I also took Arthur to a Doctor, who eventually advised me to take the child to hospital. Though I kept up the hospital treatment for some months it seemed as if nothing would root out the obstinate ringworms. "Alter Arthur had been off school for 11 months, I chanced to read about Z'am-Buk in the news- paper. Getting some Zam-Buk, I dressed Arthur's head with it. After the first two or three applications. I could see thajtxZam-Buk was mak- ing an impressioo on the deep-seated disease, so I kept on using it. The intolerable itching was soothed aii-ay, a;iid the boy's scalp w,a,s cleansed and healed. Before Jong, every ringworm had dis- appeared, and Arthur's hair began to grow again. He now has a finer head of hair than ever he had. "The way in which Zam-Bnk aJso cured my daughter, May oaged 14), is even more remark- able. Running sores broke out all over her face, which in time became completely covered. I was told that the complaint was running eczema. "However, when I spread Zam-Buk over the inside of the linen iiiask s-lie wore, it was quickly evident that the balm was doing good. In a. few d'ivs the improvement was more marked. Zam- BLili dried up the discharge, took away the inflam- mation. cleansed the sores, and healed them with fresh, clear skin. "My eldest daughter, who works in a T.N.T. factory, also always uses Zam-Buk Medicinal Soap. which keeps her free from the poisonous 'powder rash' that so many munition workers suffer -from. I think every mother should know about Zam-Buk.*

Radnorshire War Agricultural Committee. i>OWi:i; TO tTER ON NEGLECTED FARMS. Aiu. C. C. Rogers (chairman), presided ov,- r a meeting of the Radnorshire War Agricultural Committee on Saturuay, when there were present Mrs C. C. Rogers Miss Hamer (Downton), Messrs. J. Hauler, J. R. Bache, B. P. Lewis; R. Hughes, T. Davies, J. E. Smith M.ladtsto), R. T. Rees (Rhtilen), lilid Llewelvn Davies. with the.secretary (Mr David Thomas). n in moving the adoption of the report of the Execut- ive Committee, the chairman said they had applied for certain sorts of potatoes, but some of those sorts were not forthcoming. The Board of Agriculture found it, was unable to meet all the particular request, of com- mittees as they had run short of some kinds whilst they had a plethora of others. They must, not blame the Board of Agriculture as it was not possible to calculate with any accuracy what the demands of the people wouid be. much k", must members of this committee he blamtd if people did not get the particular kind of potatoes they would like to have. They had accepted the Board s otter of substitutes. Application had been made for machinery for the distribution of artificial manures, but the answers were not very satisfactory. They had done all they could, and they had written up very strengly urging the need for assistance in this direction. This was a very moderate demand, and one he hoped the central authority would find it pos- ,iltl.c to comply with. They had done all tliev could, but they meant- to go on repeating their request- until they got a satisfactory assurance. (Hear, hear). With regard tp the management of land, a new Order had been issued which gave them still further powers in this matter. It should go out perfectly straight that if anyhody saw their wa.y to cultivate land which was at present not cultivated to the best advantage, they thought that they wodld be able to give such people the opportunity of putting their energy and industry to the test by procuring the land for then). The cultivation of plots of lands near to towns was more easily ar- ranged for than the taking of bigger areas. They had had under consideration some large farms which were not. wePo cultivated, and they found that some of these farms had gone from bad to a condition slightly worse. The difficulty was to get these farms properly cultivat- ed. They had written to see if they could get any as- sistance ill the way of ploughing. Farmers working adjacent farms did not wish to enter on to any fur- ther work as their hands were already full. If they could find people who would work neglected farms,' they had power to enter in and to utilise the .-took. the buildings, the implements, and all that was on the farm, including the buildings. He was not prepared to say whether they could take the house as well, as there was a. loophole which was the joy of lawyers. The pofnt was whether buildings included house" They had written for advice as to the housing side, but they were anxious to do all they could to encourage indus- trious men to enter upon neglected farms. A letter v. a- read from the Chester Headquarters stating that it was proposed to draft a number of men t.o Br('on. who would be available for the help of farm- ers. fj,t" cf the m'n required should be sent in. If skilled men were not available would farmers take un- ,kil1"c1 men at the minimum rate.s? Mrs Rogers: Are these the substitutes ? The AsricuMuraI Orgini, No, these are additional No, these ai?e "dditioiial Mr J. E. Smith mentioned that there were cases in i which the Government could give valuable assistance by subsiding horses for small holders, and he mentioned that there was a small holder in his district who would provide land free if someone would plough it. Miss Powell enquired if it would be possible to get a mctor tractor for New Radnor district. The Agricultural Organiser replied that they had been referred to the Welsh Agricultural Council with regard to this matter. A certain number of motor tractors had been allocated for Wales. The Aariciiltiiral Com- missioner for Wales rcnlied that only three tractors had been allocated for Wales, and that these were for i Glamorgan, Carmarthen, and Denbigh. He hoped that- more would be ultimately available, and if so, one should be sent for Brecon and Radnor. He suggested that they should take the matter up themselves and communicate with a private firm with -a view to hiring. Mr Tom Norton told him that he thought he might be able to get hold of one. Powell said she had received an offer from a it ri-t, hold of one. The Agricultural Organiser was authorised to com- municate with Messrs. Tom Norton, Ltd., on the mat. ter. The Agricultural Organiser reported as to the steps taken with a view to securing the cultivation of school gardens in the urban area', and Mrs Rogers explained a prize scheme which the Wom('n' Committee has in view. Both schemes were approved. Last week's dailies officially announced, as wounded Pte. G. Burlow (South Wales Borderers), of Brecon.

1- Shortage of Men. POSITION IN R ONORSHIRE. I DISCUSSION AT COINTY MEETING. I At a meeting of the Radnorshire War Agricultural Committee held at Llandrindod Wells on Saturday, Aid. C. C. Rogers in the chair, the Agricultural Organiser re- ported that the final returns as to increased cultivation indicated that the increase in grain and root crops would be about 10 per cent.; but Mr T. Davies (Fronole) "expressed the view that too much importance should i not be attached to these returns as they were given on Ni-crt! given OD the assumption that farmers would be permitted to keep ? the men they had at the time when the figures as to fl!d ne¿l Ieurta:-d te,'rtm:in,h,n S¡;" ftfl;t't'r were provided, the position had been ver' v much altered by more men being taken off the land. They could not now calculate on the conditional promises being carried out, as the conditions had not been fulfilled. He knew of definite cases in which good promises were given, but owing to men being taken it was now certain that the land devoted to grain and roots would be less and not more. He knew of farmers who had their j horses in their stables, and no man available to take them out. One man had told him that it would now be impossible for him to plough a single furrow if his son | were taken, and in this case the farmer had given a con- ditional undertaking to plough up a good deal more land. His horses were now standing idle in the tahk,. 1 Mr B..P. Lewis said he understood the men who had been drafted to Brecon were to assist men who were I already epgaged on farms. Mr Thomas Davies thought the practical thing for them to do as a committee charged with the dutv of promoting increased cultivation of food, was to ask the War Office to extend the time granted to agricultural workers so that they could complete the ploughing and I sowing. The chairman agreed that it would be a good thing if they could get men back pro. tern. to some of the farms which were in these difficulties. Mr Bache said that effort., were being made in that direction. The chairman observed that some extension of time might very properly be given owing to the long frost, which had kept work back so much. The extensions given in the first instance had proved inadequate. Mr B. P. Lewis also mentioned a case in which, owing to men being taken it would now be impossible to do any ploughing. Mr R. Hughes also gave details of a case in which a farmer would suffer great hardship, and in wftich culti- vation would be less and not more. Mr Bache gave details of a case in which a farmer through inadvertence had neglected to appeal for a boy of 18, and Mr Hughes aid that was also the posit- ion in the case which he had referred to. Mr Bache thought that in cases of that sort fann- ers should have some further opportunity, and that they should not have to suffer through lack of knowledge. Xotwithstanding their neglect, such farmers should have some opportunity of appeal, and he thought that they should make representation to that effect. It was agreed that such representations should he sent up. and also a statement as to the way in which farm work had been deJayed owing to the inclement weather. A resolution was presented from the Rhavader War Agriculture Committee, asking the County Committee to make representations with a view to securing that the last man shoul be left on a farm. Mr T. Davies moved that this resolution be sent to the Central Committee, with a covering letter stating that it was approved by them. Mr J. Hamer seconded, and in course of a tpeech. said it must, be recognised that their chairman was in a very difficult position, having two masters or two in- terest, to serve. He was a member of the Appeal Tri- bunal and as such had to secure all the men he reason. ably could for the Army; and as chairman of that com- mittee he had to safeguard the interests of agriculture and do what he could to promote increased cultivation ef land. He (Mr Hamer) entirely agreed with those who thought that agricultural workers should b. left for the ploughing and the sowing: and he believed that if this were not done the result would be that there would be less land cultivated instead of more. He knew of a case in which a lad of ]8 was. sent to Shrewsbury, and he had not since returned. Now, that farmer's horses were in the stable, and it was doubtful if he would he able to plough any land at all. A substitute who could not plough was useless in many cases. There wrG as much art in ploughing as in any other business. The chairman said that calculations about ploughing had been entirely upset owing to the weather. It was perfectly reasonable to ask that the time for exempt- iones should be extended. Mr B. P. Lewis gave particulars of other cases of hardship. Mr .T. Hamer-suggested that it should be made known at the tribunals that the ca.ses of horsemen re- ceive special treatment. Farmers did not know what to do now, and they would be able to decide what work to do if they could be told what men would be be left. The chairman aid he did not think the tribunals had sent, any horsemen since they had the fresh instructions. Mr Bache said there was a need for some people to I put their backs into the work, and do what they -could. There were cases of real hardship, but there were Mime living. They did not grasp the ske of the thing, and who were too prone to grumble, and who did not do all they could to help themselves. Mrs. Rogers said she feared many people did not realise the altered conditions under which they were living. They did not grasp the size of the thing., and had not yet realised what a fight to a finish really meant. The chairman said they were all unsettled and had to make the best they could of unhappy circumstances. They must- have men to fight or else they would not have farms to keep. Mr T. Davie.- Men cannot fight. if they have net food to fight on. The Chairman I agree that is the, other side, and it is difficult to walk straight between the two demands. Mr T. Davies: If sending men means that land will be left uiicult-ivated, then I contend that it i? ht the national interest to leave them where they are. That observation particularly applied to horsemen. Mrs Rogers agreed, and the chairman repeated that they had not knowingly sent any horsemen lately. Mr R. T. Rees hoped that what had been said would be applied to agricultural workers generally. He knew of cases in which farmers were expecting their present men to lie taken and substitutes provided, and the men were not doing their work in the best way thev could. Mrs Rogers said that such men should be ashamed of themselves. « Mr Bache said the Board of Agriculture and the War Office had been fighting each other and the War-Office had the power. Everything Mr Prothero said was ccn- tradicted by the War Office. He had made suggest- ions which were very good, but he had no power to en- force them. The resolution was agreed to. In course of further discussion, Mrs Rogers said that farmers would not tap womens' labour. Mr T. Davie's said there was a great deal cf w. rk which women could not do on farms, but Mrs Rogers re- plied that there was a great, deal that they could do. Miss Powell (Downton) said she believed farmers would be surprised what women could do if they were given the opportunity. She had done a bit of ploughing on a couple of acres of her own, but she admitted that it was a flat field. Boys of 16 were-able to plough with swing ploughs. Mr.B. P. Lewis said boys of 16 were not allowed to do spring ploughing by themselves. They were trained on suitable land. The Agricultural Organiser mentioned a specific in which he had seen a woman ploughing with great success.

Wanted, Buttermakers. BRITISH Butter is unquestionably better than foreign, -D yet the latter is often bought in preference. This is an injustice both to the British producer and to the buyer. It is an injury which could easily be avoided. The British housewife believes that butter presenting a rich golden uniform colour is the ideal. The foreign producer meets her wish. and all his butter has the rich golden colour which sells. A perfectly safe means is provided whereby the British maker can impart to his butter just that golden colouring which will commend it to the eye, as decidedly as its quality will commend it to the palate. The remedy is the "SILVER CHURN" BUTTER COLOUR, manufactured by OLDFIELD, PATTINSON, & Co., of Manchester, the successful survivor of the severest tests at the principal shows, where it, has gain- ed First Class awards for 30 years. Equally satisfactory is the high praise it has won in the numerous dairies where it is regularly used. These competent approvals are due to the absence of any unevenness or muddiness in the colouring, and to the fact that the use of 'SILVER CHURN" does not affect the butter-milk. The butter itself is not injured in the process; it is im- proved. Its delicate creamy flavour is enhanced. It should be clearly understood that "SILVER CHURN" is a vegetable product, entirely free from any aniline dye. (A guarantee by the makers to this effect w'HIJbe given any user desiring it). It may be obtained from Chemists and dairy supply men in 7id, 1/8, 2/41., 5/6, 10/6 and 21/- bottles. To secure satisfaction obtain the "SILVER CHURN" brand.
