Lady Wernher, owner of the Luton Hoo estate, has taken practical steps to answer a call to landowners to convert grazing land to tillage.

The picture shows an area of 81 acres being ploughed in the Park itself, which is in addition to the acreage which is being ploughed on the estate at the request of the County Committee.

Lady Wernher has privately acquired a motor tractor for the purpose, and will offer its use to her tenant farmers for all methods of more intensive cultivation.
