It appears that lady barbers have not been a success in the suburbs of London the explanation being that wives do not, care for their husbands being shaved by ladies. A farm of 283 acres in Lincolnshire, which at one time cost .£17,000, was recently offered for sale, the highest bid being .£4450. Four years ago a bid of .£7450 was refused. There is a mortgage on the land of .£12,000. Mr Long stated in the House of Commons that it was doubtful whether the assistance given to agriculture by weather forecasts was such as to justify the expenditure, which amounted to between .£SOOO and .£6OOO a year
