It is a thatch -making inachine which enables ricks to be covered at half the cost and one-fifth the man- hours of the old method and is being made in hundreds for Britain's next harvest. Straw fed into the machine is stitched into a continuous mat, which is then cut into convenient lengths generally of 9 ft. or 12 ft. The manu- facturing cost is about 230. a yard (with wheatened straw at £4,10s a ton) and the production rate is from 2 yards a minute, although one far- mer claims that he can brake a mile in a day. The job can be done at any time of the year and the matting stored in rolls until required, County Agricultural Committees are finding that the machines solved many of Britain's wartime problems. Unskilled labour can be used either on the farm or in the committee's central depots, where lengths of mat- ting can be made and distributed to farms in the locality. Ricks can be thatched immediately they are built, for there are 110 pegs to fall out and the normal sinking only pulls the stitches tighter, saving the use of rick covers and avoiding the risk of weather damage. While the rick is settling the thatch is completely gale proof. A struggling young author had called on a publisher to inquire about a manuscript he had submitted. "This is quite well written," admit- ted the publisher, "but my firm pub- lishes only work by writers with well known names, "Splendid," criedthe writer, "My name's Smith." • RESTRICTIONS ELECTRICITY Effective as of the 20th Day of September, 1942 The following are excerpts from Order No. PC5 issued by the Dominion Power Controller, and apply to the use of electricity by and the supply of electricity to a person or persons in any area in Canada designated a Power Shortage area.
