forms Climatic differ ences for inslancc make it almost imposxiblc to discuss cattle feed ing for in England they are able to pasture their cattle during months that in Canada it is im pomiblc to do so Another reason against compar ison is the many old farm build ings we saw which defy modern ization and are consequently hand icaps to efficiency One of the rst things the boys noticed was the absence of barns as we know them in this coun Ltrol on the British drills istunding there is no word to they had byrcs which essence yore really only tour poets NAZI trout on top little and feed

by women we SIIII 11ch to take our tengallon hats off to the British former in he matter of yield per acre They we still ahead of us there It is hard to decide why this thank be Perhaps its because the land is richer or maybe they look after it better or fertilize it more One form we wont forget in hurry because there we saw some thing that upset all our notions about cattle brooding It was thc farm of ONeil just outside Belfast Mr ONeil farms his 100 acres just about as intensively as 100 acres can be farmed With herd of more than 100 Ayrshircs he was keeping more than one cow per acre without feeding them concentrates He feeds them only ensilocd hay about 90 pounds per day per cow His boy was cured in horizontal 511095 and was test ing about 14 per cent protein All of which as you will agree was very good and we were im pressed by this performance but then Mr ONeil told us that he hadnlt bought male or female in six years He was obviously an enthusiastic supporter of inbreed ing and we were hardpushed for something to say for to us his herd showed every Sign of the need for new blood stock Three of the larger farms we visited in Scotland and Englandl were breeding and milking Hol steins and some of the cattle were direct descendants from two of 011 tarios bestknown blood linesl But rst let me tell you of fact which struck us as ratltcri strange In Scotland the

son of the pride of Oxford County Tom Dcnts Sovereign He was on the 1200acre dairy farm of James Alston All of Mr Al stons 250 Holsteins were from Canadian blood lines He was milking 100 with an average test of 37 per cent Incidentally he also had one of the finest stables of Clydesdales that we saw in the whole of our visit Though he did not voice it to any of the farmers Doug had one suggestion for improving the Brit ish farms He thinks they would be well advised to uproot the hedgerows with which the English countryside abounds He admitted willingly that they were pictur esque but bispractical Canadian eye decided too much land is wasted oneither side of the bed ges If they were my farms he said Id geta bulldozer and root them all out then replace them with an electric or station ary fence of some kind Onequestion have been asked repeatedly since our return is How is the British farmer mak ing out Though we did not have an opportunity to speak to what we can loosely refer to as the average farmer would say that for long time the British farmer hasnt been as well off as he is now Most of the farmers we met were operating fairly large farms that could be called showplaces but all of them agreed they didnt want anything to change for while Though they are up against high feed prices they have guaranteed markets with government supported prices for everything they canproduce That they cannot produce enough is easily demonstrated Eggs are son per week depending upon available supplies They cost about 14 cents each or $168 dozen If tell you thatsix pounds or
