BY RAYMOND MCCONNELL, Jr.,
Written for the Associated press.
LONDON, Nov, 3.-There is drama
in the statistics of British agricul-
ture of the past four years, but down
on the farm there is drama which
statistics reflect only dimly.
There is drama in the spent in
cendiarles which the Lancashire
farmer still digs from his cabbage
patch; in the fence which home
guardsmen trample of a Wiltshire
Sunday afternoon while practice
bombs burst in hills beyond: in con-
crete barricades spotting pastures;
in the wires strung across wheat
fields to prevent enemy plane land
ings; in eager patches of cultivation
crowding in and among Nissen huts
and the runWays of Englands
countless airfields: in the dim lamp
that lights the farmers way as he
ploWs in the blackout
There also is drama in the obsta-
cles which British agriculture has
overcome
In few phases of the war is there
more human interest than in the
tremendous effort to maintain the
supply of agricultural labor against
the inroads of munitions factories,
enlistment and conscription.
Women, Children Work.
Here tending cows is a member OF
/ the Women's Land Army, not long
ago beauty parlor operator. She
likes the work, strange though it
was at first. There in the potato
| field are schoolboys. IL, 13 and IA
wears old. The part women and
children, many of them new to farm
ways, have played in harvests, as
in routine farm operations, must
not be underestlmated.
| And there is something Of the
dramatic in the work of agricul-
/ tural committees to find ever more
and more land to turn into produc-
ton.
BY this time in England most
ordinary farm land that could be
cultivated at all has been put under
/ the plow, so more than ever before
/ the committees are securing the
countryside for brush areas to clear
and marshes to drain. Areas thus
/ reclaimed run into thousands of
acres and have done much to offset
! the thousands of acres of fine farm
land which the military constantly
is taking over for airports and
campsiteS,
! Most dramatic of all, however, is
/ that which is not seen on the sur
| face but only sensed in conversation
with the farmer here and there.
That is the revolutionary change
which has taken place not only In
his social and economic position, but
in his thinking and outlook.
Act Despite Complaints.
Farmers don't like this program
of blowing up and compulsion.
/ Stockmen don't like to see their pas
lures put into cultivation Some
farmers did not see the. reason in
trying their hands al crops with
which they were utterly unfamiliar.
And they said so, as the farmer
usually does when he has some
thing on his mind.
But they are doing it. They are
getting results and improving their
status thereby.
/ English farmers are not unlike
/ farmers anywhere They holler today
about the land the military takes
over. It's always best farm land
in the county" They groan about
the forms they have to fill out They
squawk about their inability to get
help and the difficulty of finding
Neutrality-suspicious. of which they
were reluctant at first to use
They even complain now and then
of the food. although they eat more

and better than any one else ir
the land.
But 1t takes no great probing to
fnd that under the surface a pro-
found change has taken place in
the British farmer. Archconserva-
tive species of a naturally conserva-
tive family, in the last four years
he has gone through the wringer
