Chemists’ rota


A RIBBLE VALLEY farmer was cheesed off this week to learn that he has to produce two pints of milk


less during the year. All over the district, farmers have been receiv­


ing notification of their 1990/91 wholesale milk quotas. Our farmer’s stood at over 285,000 litres. To this, the Milk Marketing Board had added over 23,000 as res­ toration of the recent temporary cut, and then sub­ tracted over -1,000, taking him up to over .10-1,000 litres. Then came another temporary cut of nearly 19,000 litres. The end result? A drop in his allowance for the

The natural nest site would be a hole in a cliff face. As these are in decidedly short supply, they are very much dependent on buildings, usually nesting in holes


under the caves. The British population is estimated at about


100,000 breeding pairs. Without the nest sites in buildings it would only be a fraction of this. As it is, there is intense competition for nest sites. The delib­ erate provision, of nest boxes under the eaves of modern houses would probably increase the population.
