Silhck. a Victorian, and Green, are hauling out the beeches by means of caterpillar tractors and trailers, working some- x times 96 hours a week, including Sundays to the vast amazement of the Sussex rustles, who have never seen anything like it before. Faced with the necessity of cash to pay death dutiese, the eighth Duke sold the beeches to J. H. and F. W. of Chesterfield, for £45,000. years are allowed for removal of tn timber. The Greens engaged the two Australians to take charge of the haulage of the beech logs to the mill.
