For the four best cottage allotments prizes have been awarded as follows: - Bailey, Woodtown, 1; J Daniel, Spamone, 2; J Beer, Woodtown, 3; T Glover, Woodtown. 4. The scheme was promoted by Major Kirkwood. Mr G Sleep, head gardener at Hartland Abby, was the judge, assisted by Messrs Sherriff and Luxton. Mr Sleep and Mr Sherriff also visited the school garden and commended the boys for their work, which as they said deserved a much better piece of ground.
