Harvest of Fruit. Women's Institutes have been entrusted by the Government with fruit preservation, and Birch and Layer Breton has become one of the many fruit centres in Essex. Under the chairmanship of Mrs Frank Hutton, the work was started in July with the plum crop Mrs Frank Hutton, Mrs Gill, Mrs Church and Mrs Macaulay returned from a three-day course of training at the Institute of Agriculture with expert's certificates. Under their guidance 32 helpers commenced work in the unused kitchens at Birch Hall (kindly lent by Capt C.J. Round). Quite 2½ tons of surplus fruit was saved from waste, and 4,000 lbs of jam and jelly made. Over 1,000 cans and 200 bottles of fruit were stored.
