VEGETABLES V. IMPRESSED TRUCKS
Sir—Since the middle of October I have’ delivered to the market about three tons of washed vegetables a week, and last week about four, which consists of carrots, onions, white and swede turnips, beetroot, peas, broad beans, and spinach. My appeal against impressment of my truck was dismissed. I was told that my truck was of more value than my vegetables. Now I would like to ask you why they told us to grow more vegetables if we were not able to get them away? I have been working from daylight till dark to get as many as possible, but I cannot go on without a truck. So this week I shall be taking no vegetables to joined up with the E.P.S. and was quite willing to let my truck be used in any way That was required. It was just a matter of 15 minutes to the city, and I still think it was better left to the work it was doing till it was urgently required. - —Yours, etc., g y Q MARKET GARDENER. Harewood, January 12. 1942.
