  1917

  31

  October + November
  

  to take what steps we
  

  reasonably think necessary
  

  Each weekend we continued

  to dig up and sell,
  

  our workers being always
  

  busy, bringing to the Hut
  

  cabbages Turnips celery etc.
  

  up to October 30th we had
  

  taken over - 50 £
  

  Some members purchased
  

  1 cwts of Potatoes and Turnips
  

  1 cwt = 1 hundredweight = 112 pounds 

  to help the to tide over
  

  the coming winter (a very
  

  good idea) It also enabled
  

  us to dispose of our produce
  

  quicker knowing the limited
  

  time we had to sell.
