Article written by W A Carr (pictured) in 1971<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is Jubilee Year for\u00a0Reaseheath. Members may be interested to know what the place was like in 1921. Few can have any idea\u00a0of\u00a0farming conditions at that time and the difficulties we experienced in founding\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a050 years ago.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

South Cheshire was almost entirely under permanent grass and farming had been carried on with little change for generations. Cheshire was famous for cheese in the time of the Romans and cows and cheese still predominated on farms within fifteen miles of\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0in 1921. There had been more change in the north of the county where arable crops and early potatoes were a feature.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reaseheath and Henhull Hall were purchased by the Cheshire County Council in 1919 for a Farm Institute. Men were to be taught agriculture at Reaseheath and women dairying at Henhull. It was considered inadvisable to have women at the same place as the men. The purchase of Henhull annoyed many farmers who considered that women should continue to be taught at Worleston Dairy Institute which had a high reputation for turning out good cheesemakers and even Reaseheath was regarded by many as a \u201cwhite elephant\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There were however some enthusiastic farmers, landlords and estate agents who encouraged the Council to proceed to form the Institute for men at\u00a0Reaseheath. A start was made to convert the Hall into a hostel and add a wing to house the Vice Principal who was expected to act as Warden. The stables and outbuildings were converted into lecture rooms and laboratories. Conversions had to be done with the minimum of outlay so that accommodation and amenities for students fell far short of\u00a0present-day\u00a0standards. Money was scarce in the years following the war. Corn and livestock continued to fall in value. Cheese was sold in Nantwich Market at\u00a04 \u00bd d per lb., and our farm milk went into the dairy at 6d per gallon. You can understand therefore, why money was so tight and why we had to put up with second-hand material in hostels and labs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alterations proceeded to\u00a0plant\u00a0and we were ready for students by October 1921. We had good staff, Mr W B Mercer was appointed County Organiser and Principal in 1919 and I came as his deputy in 1920. Mr R E Louch, Mr R G James and Miss M E Black had been employed by the Council for some time. Mr Louch was appointed Head of Poultry Department and Mr James Head of Horticultural Department and Miss Black became the first instructress of cheese-making. The Chairman of the Agricultural Education Committee, Alderman McCracken at one time Principal of the Royal College at Cirencester played an outstanding part in the establishment of\u00a0Reaseheath. He even induced the Ministry to allow the appointment of a chemist and biologist. Lecturers in science were not normally allowed for on the staffs of Farm Institutes. I think that Mr Sant who later received a knighthood was the first chemist while Mr Crabtree took over biology. Miss\u00a0Povah\u00a0was appointed Matron and Mr T Curry Farm Manager.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During 1921, Mr Mercer and I scoured the country in search of students. Farmers would not send their sons but there was a number of ex-servicemen about who enrolled, and we got a few lads from towns and villages in the county. If I remember rightly, we started with about twelve students in agriculture, five or six in poultry and a similar number in horticulture. They varied in age and intellect, but they were the best lot we had for some years; they disciplined themselves and were keen to work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I gave lectures on agriculture and demonstrations on practical work, often contrasting local methods with those to which I had been accustomed in Scotland. I remember that I got half a dozen\u00a0sowing sheets\u00a0from a\u00a0sadler\u00a0in Stonehaven so that I could teach sowing with both hands. The local custom was to use one hand from a heavy tin contraption. On\u00a0similar\u00a0farms\u00a0at this\u00a0time,\u00a0it was still usual to sow both corn and fertilizer by hand. Demonstrations were held to show different methods\u00a0of applying dung and we had competitions in carting and spreading. I remember teaching students to cut and lay popes in field drains and have since been blessed by students turned farmers for their knowledge of the art.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At\u00a0first,\u00a0I was warden of the hostel but became so involved in outside work that I was relieved of this task. Students were easy to control in the hostel for a year or two but in time they got up to some pranks and if a younger brother followed his elder\u00a0brother,\u00a0he arrived knowing all the tricks and the fun began early in the new session. There was no difficulty with discipline even when the girls came to the new hostel. I recall during the first session that Miss\u00a0Povah\u00a0the Matron insisted on wearing a hospital\u00a0matrons\u2019\u00a0uniform. It must have pleased Mr Crabtree for they became engaged and emigrated to Canada. This was the first of the\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0romances. Miss Wallis followed Miss\u00a0Povah\u00a0as Matron for many years, was renowned for her hospitality to visitors who included HRH the Prince of Wales and she guarded his unwashed\u00a0teacup\u00a0to the end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the start\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0was responsible for agricultural education and advisory work in the county. In addition, we had\u00a0to run four farms, about 600 acres with some 300 cows. The\u00a0Principal\u00a0had to spend most of his time at\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0while I spent most of mine\u00a0in\u00a0the country, visiting farm and laying down experiments or trials on grass or arable crops. My mode of transport was at first by bicycle and train from Crewe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried to arrange meetings and give talks to\u00a0farmers\u00a0but they would not listen to me until I proved that I could practise as well as preach. I stirred things up when I mentioned at a meeting that they could double their output when threshing corn. I was taken to task by threshing machine owners and farmers and challenged to demonstrate that it could be done. We had arguments in the Cheshire papers for weeks and I nearly got the sack as the Agricultural Education Committee was sure that I would fail and let them\u00a0down\u00a0but I arranged two demonstrations and put through 24 bags per hour in the first and 26 in the second which was double the normal 10 to 12 bags per hour. I had convinced farmers that we could teach them something at\u00a0Reaseheath. However,\u00a0I failed to convince them in 1921 that tractors could eliminate horses. Few had any knowledge of internal combustion engines and those who had could not set a plough. This was still the case on many farms in South Cheshire during the last war.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the early days there was poor attendance at lectures on agricultural subjects in the south and west of the county but in the north around Altrincham I had good meetings. We also had success in the Hyde area where farmers were plagued by smoke\u00a0and acid soil. Here again we had to demonstrate that a farm could be made to pay its way. We undertook to help a new tenant from Gloucester to run a derelict farm Taylor Fold where\u00a0a number of\u00a0previous tenants had failed. By liming, manuring and direct seeding to grass in 1921 we established good pastures and replaced hay with silage. Such ventures helped to gain the confidence of farmers and we began to enrol more farers sons as students.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The feud over\u00a0Worleston\u00a0ended by the sale of both\u00a0Worleston\u00a0and\u00a0Henhull\u00a0and the erection of the women\u2019s hostel at\u00a0Reaseheath.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As our county work\u00a0expanded\u00a0we had to increase our staff and we were fortunate to obtain men of outstanding ability. Both staff and students who were at\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0have done well. Two have been knighted, two became Professors, two Regional Directors and four Grade 1 County Officers in the NAAS, three staff and three students have been appointed Principals of Farm Institutes and many students are successful farmers.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our work at\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0attracted visitors from other Institutes and Experimental Stations. Sir John Russell was a frequent visitor and we kept in touch with Sir George\u00a0Stapledon\u00a0about grassland research and ICI in addition to experiments of our own. We pioneered the application of nitrogen to grazing land and the under sowing of corn crops to be cut for silage. At the request of the\u00a0Ministry\u00a0we carried out a\u00a0zero grazing\u00a0trial on arable crops in 1920 to 1925. I think\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0was the first to demonstrate that leys deteriorated with overgrazing which induced Martin Jones to undertake his\u00a0well known\u00a0experiments with ICI on the effect of grazing on the composition of the sward. Experiments at Taylor Fold showed that good leys could be obtained by direct reseeding. Also,\u00a0we proved that in the early years,\u00a0silage should be made in preference to hay or corn in smoky,\u00a0uplying\u00a0districts with a high rainfall. Our trials on the manuring of early potatoes were appreciated by farmers in the Frodsham area.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0poultry and horticultural departments equally played their part at\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0and\u00a0in the county. I still think that it was a mistake to transfer the advisory work from the Institutes to the NAAS after having had experience of both.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We in our time worked hard to put\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0on the map. Since the last war\u00a0Reaseheath\u00a0has blossomed as the rose under Mr Lamberton and Mr England and I look forward to seeing the new buildings and getting first-hand information on the scope of enterprises. I only wish that my department friends could be with me to see the progress of the work they began.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
