Abstract
THE persistent criticism with which the “ploughing-out policy” of the Board of Agriculture has been assailed has been intensified of late with the evidence of failure, total or partial, of some of the crops grown this year on newly ploughed grass land. The columns of the daily Press have been freely used, and have revealed much division of opinion amongst practical agriculturists as to the measure of success or failure in different areas. A new note has been introduced into the discussion by a letter from the Duke of Marlborough in the Times of July 30, in which he endeavours to demonstrate from the publications of the Board that the policy is fundamentally unsound.
