| Description | Informs Hill that the Ministry of Agriculture is preparing to drain 250 acres of the Adventurers' Fen property of the National Trust at Wicken, Cambridgeshire, in order to cultivate the land for food production. Notes that the National Trust 'doe not, at this critical time, wich to oppose the use of this fenland for food use' but that the fen is one of the few places where the alder buckthorn grows freely, which is needed by the Ministry of Supply. |
