Mr John Sale
John Sale
An Appreciation
Document typed by Jackie Embury from Miss Hislop's handwritten green book owned by Janet Chennells
In 1928 Mr John Sale of Farrow’s Farm grew a most unusual crop in one of his fields along the Newnham Road. Stretching right across the hilly ridge of the field was a crop of mustard so arranged as to read in very large letters along the hillside:
Thank you Daily Mail
This was grown by Mr Sale in appreciation of help given to Agriculture by the Daily Mail. It could be seen and read from a great distance and people came from near and far to see it. Day after day rows of motor cars were drawn up so that their occupants might gaze upon this novel form of appreciation.
