BOGLAND FARM
OATS NOW BEING PRODUCED RECLAMATION IN TWO YEARS “I visited a farm which belongs to Robert Wylie near Annaghmore,” said a 8,8. C. commentator. “Before the war Robert had about four acres of arable land and the rest of the area was bogland. His total farm consists —good, bad and indifferent — of 26 acres. Now if you had seen that bogland about two years ago you would have said that it would never produce anything but heather, gorse and sally bushes. When I saw it last week the whole area had been reclaimed, levelled, and will be producing oats this season.”
