Securing a plot.-the demand for plots which started so well Shows no signs of abating in fact, during the next two or three years, apart from the issue of the War, we may anticipate a great in?ux of eager recruits, all keen on making their little patch a friendly rival to the Garden of Eden. Newcomers should apply to the Local, Borough or Urban District Council, or Parish Council for a holding. These authorities have power to commandeer land for the provision of allotments of not more than five acres in extent, and, if these bodies do not act, the would-be allotment-holders may demand them to. Failing satisfaction from this quarter, the County Council Should be requested to act and, if this body cannot or will not make the necessary provision, the final court of appeal is the Board Of Agriculture. The London County Council, it may be mentioned, can provide holdings, but is in no way obliged to. The Vacant Land Cultivation Society, 14, Bucking ham Street, Strand, Will also attend to the wants of Londoners.
