The weather gets ahead of us and we rush around raking dead leaves and wishing we had time to paint the back porch before we put seed in the kitchen garden. Spring won't wait and the garden goes in while the porch must take its chance again in the fall, > This year we can change all that if we do a little planning now while we wait for the rest of the snow to dis- appear. We can make a list of the jobs that need to be done--fences to-be repaired, outbuildings to be patched, and painted, machinery to be oiled and sharpened, window sills to be scraped and re-painted--a hundred and one things to be done that we are all _ familiar with but just fail to make pro- vision for until it is too late. A speculative look over the premises leads to a more speculative look over the town and see that it is the same story everywhere. We could get to- gether this spring and form a Spring Clean-up.

There are papers to pick up when the snow disappears and loose truck that could well be cleaned from every alley. In keeping with the is much changed to-day. If a man's vocation is farming and he possesses ordinary intelligence and a healthy curiosity about the best way to carry on his farm . . . he can be assured of worthy returns for his work.

Three Canadian plowmen won prizes on Feb. 9, at the International Plowing Match held at Limavady, near Belfast, Northern Ireland, according to Canadian Press reports.

We were told by experts in this type of work that the most pressing pro- blem is getting the farmer to take advantage of the aid, and help that the government is so anxious to give him quite free of charge. And now, recent researches on the use of DDT indicate that farmers who Stouffville, near Toronto and Rhys Bacher of Hagersville, near Hamilton placed first, "second, and third res- pectively in their class which was one of seven events at the meet.

A splendid attondane was on hand for this meeting and the opening cer- emonies were carried out in a very efficient manner. We were sorry that several of our Officers were unable to attend owing to ill-health, however these positions were filled by Mrs. Barthaw and Mr, Hutchinson. > After the business and usual pro- cedure was carried out we received a delif "ful surprise. Two of our mem- bers, Mr. George Lane and Mr, E. J. Hutchinson presented our Chapter with an electric Star Emblem which was gratefully received by our Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron Mr. and Mrs, George Palmer; who accepted it on behalf of the Chapter with a few well-chosen remarks. We are looking forward to our visit to Queen City Chapter in early April and plans are being made to try and arrange to have a bus load attend this party. : > At the close of the meeting a de- lightful social time was held. The refreshment committee served a very nice lunch and the rest of the even- ing was spent in playing Bingo which was in charge of our Worthy Matron Mrs. Palmer. The prizes were plenti: ful and turned out to be well assorted and caused a good deal of fun, Some of the members were extremely lucky and walked home with plenty of 'swag.'

Adding to the charm and beauty of the Cornish countryside are the well- 'kept farms with their hedges and fen- ,ces made of stone and earth with i shrubbery growing alone the top. | Many of the hedges are said to be four or five hundred years old. We were impressed with the size "of the Cornish farms, which seem to be larger than farms in other parts | of England. The average is around three to four hundred acres. Each farm has four or five tractors and men to operate them as well as all the latest types of farm machinery. ! The cattle are said to be good beef [cattle and produce fair quantities of high testing milk, averaging about 4 per cent. We had our first look at the ! Northeyn Devon cow, which is a popu- 'lar breed in this part of the country. It is a very large animal resembling our short horn breed only larger. {Stabling and large barns are not deossaty in Cornwall due to the uni- form mild weather and this of course 'cuts down very much on the cost of | operation. In the winter months, "cattle are fed in the fields and truck "loads of turnips, cabbage, hay and , straw are spread over the fields at in- tervals during the day. | Before leaving for Workington we were entertained at a farewell dinner by the hospitable residents of New- quay. "The Empire Plowing Match. | We reached "Workington the follow- 'ing evening after a journey of 600 miles. Needless to say we were pretty tired but after a good night's rest the boys and I were up early and ready to start for the plowing fields. i It was early when we reached the field but even so: there were a good number .already there. We could see that these English plowmen really take their plowing seriously. Later, we discovered that 65 had entered the competition, {Our boys, using strange horses and tractors and competing against Eng- land's - best plowmen," were under 'a "serious handicap. Realizing this and 'in an effort to make the events more competitive, the committee suggested the classes they should enter. This of course was a wise move. : + The ground at Workington is quite different from Cornwall, being hilly rather than flat. So rolling were the fields that our boys in the horse-drawn jclasses couldn't see from one 'end of ithe field to the other. The'soil was dif- ferent too. Instead of the light loam of the Cornish earth, the Workington soil was dark and heavy and 'full of stones, Three tractors used in the test broke down in the rough ground. Alvin Mark and Wilbert McFaddin, the Salada horse plowmen, were en-| tered in a small general-purpose class: and both succeeded in winning prizes. Alvin came first and Wilbert fourth. Alvin had difficulty with his team at first for one of the horses had been ore. However, after cutting his 1st | yoked to a plow only a few days be- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24th, | ONTARIO six furrows, he was complete master of his horses, The tractor classes were more keen- ly contested but our plows were so different: that Rhys Bacher and Bob Timbers, the Esso champions, were not in the money when the judging! was completed. Need For Uniformity in Plowing Rules After watching two British plowing matches and checking on the types of plows used, I am convinced that we cannot expect too much of our boys until we either change our plows to: conform to the old country type or have the boys come over a week in advance in order to practice with the plows used here, - The re of plows used and the method of scoring as compared with ours is so different that we work under a tremendous dis- advantage, The Empire Plowing Match ended with the annual dinner at which the mayor and townspeople joined the farmers in honouring our Canadian party. The people here have been wonderful to us. and I only hope we can do as much for the English plow- men when they visit Canada. British Plowmen to Visit Canada. So far, owing to currency regula- tions, English and Scottish plowmen have not been able to compete in Can- adian plowing matches. Last fall, a team from Northern Ireland entered the International Match at Lindsay and this was the first time that a team from the British Isles had ever competed in this Canadian event. Now the Empire Plowing Association has started a fund to send their best men to compete in Canadian matches. They have warned us too, that they will be out to win and from the excellent plowing I have seen in this-area;--we- would do well to heed their warning. English School Children Admire Canadian Plowing Costume. On our tour of the Workington dis- trict, we split into two groups.

(Editor's Note-- Mr. Moses was born at Ohsweken on t e! Six Nations Reserve near Brantford, Ont. and is a member of the Delaware tribe.) Our boys are wearing plaid shirts and caps to match and as they are not worn over here, the school children were as much attracted by them as they were by my Indian regalia. In addition to his plaid shirt and cap, Alvin is also wearing his home town (Cameron) hockey sweater with the crest on the front and the figure 13 in a large circle on the back. We were greatly amused to hear an elderly farmer tell his friend that the number showed that Alvin had been a pris- oner of war. = The boys who visited the industries were shown through a steel plant and a modern woollen mill. The woollen mill is only partly in operation but when it is completed the people say it will be one of the finest of its kind in the world. : Workington's biggest industry is coal mining. ~ We had hoped to go down into a mine but unfortunately we did not have sufficient time. Tour of the Lake District. The day following the' Empire Match we were taken on a sightseeing tour of the famed lake district, which in many - respects resembles our own northern Ontario country. We fol- lowed somewhat the same itinerary as last year's group and like them were privileged to see a demonstration of sheep dogs at work on Helvellyn Mountain. Mr, Clarke described this scene in last year's newsletter so I don't feel I need to say anything more about it except that none of our party had ever witnessed such a sight and we were greatly impressed with the whole performance. Even though rationing is in effect oygr here, we have been well-fed all the time. During our tour of the lwke district, we had lunch at Keswick, afternoon tea at a fashionable sum- mer resort hotel and then finished with a full course dinner at the home of Mr. Bower where the Empire match was held. Now we are wondering what a meals would be like over here without rationing. y My next letter will be from Scot- land and I hope to have .information about agricultural conditions there which will interest Canadian farmers.
