ALTHOUGH Langho man Craig Cooper would probably admit that he doesn't know his onions, there’s no doubting his ability as a gardener of another kind . . . helping to keep Stonyhurst Col­ lege’s lush lawns and for­ midable grounds in tip-top shape. And 20-year-old Craig’s


expertise in things hor­ ticultural has been recog­ nised by Burnley College, which has named him “student of the year” for his term work there last year on the City and Guilds h o r t ic u l tu r a l course. Now on a day release

dening staff at the famous public school, he tended the gardens at Wadding- ton’s Moorcock Inn and at

tractor over the 20 or so years that we used it, with very little ignition. At one time the ignition timing must have been a little advanced and it was prone to kicking back when starting (if you pulled it round half-hearted- lv) with the result that Isaac received a broken wrist for his troubles. We were also in an area of


hard water and the radiator would regularly block up with lime scale, which we used to overcome by running the tractor for a short period with a caustic soda solution in it then flushing with clean water. Roadwork was also quite


pleasant with the Case since it was fairly fast. This was particularly useful since we ran two farms three miles apart by road.
