Book excerpt: Excerpt from Afforestation: The Unemployed and the Land The cause of this downward movement is self-evident. It is the desertion, the abandonment of the land. Each crop requiring humam labour has had its area reduced, and agricultural labourers have been sent away to reinforce the ranks of the unemployed in our cities and towns, so that far from being over populated, the fields of Britain are starved of human labour. As James Laird. Used to say, The British nation does not work on her soil, she is prevented from doing so, and the Would-be economists complain that the soil Will not nourish its inhabitants.
