saw queen in nigeria writes former gormley storekeeper during the month of febru ary a state visit was made to nigeria by the queen and the luke of edinburgh during the course of the roya tour the party visited a host of smaller villages ard settlements mrs chas milsted recently received a letter from the al lan doers who were in charge of the gormley store and post office prior to embarking for nigeria and life in missionary work part of the letter from mrs doner follows the queen was given a roy al welcome in nigeria but now the is safely back in england we heard the radio broadcast of her homecomirg they were an hour late because of engine trouble in tripoli we noticed too that shewas wearing a fur coat when she got out of the plane in england out here she went around in nice cotton dresses the day we saw her she wore a pretty blue hat and dress she is prim and sits quite straight she is just as pretty as they say when she waves she is so graceful and never showed any signs of be ing tired in spite of the heat the queen surely didnt have much time to reit her days started at 9 am then she had lunch at 130 after her even ing meal they had a garden party in all the bigger places where she was sometimest hey woud sit on the top verandah of government house and watch fireworks till 1030 pm some were complaining about her having such a full schedule the africans were amazed that she was so young and mmmoney rhy worry about it when it i so easy to let an ad in this newspaper turn things you no longer need into cash the stouffville tribune small because they think of a i big chief in great flowing robes land big head dress most of them are mohommedans they j thought she saw them all as i she seemed to look around at j everything over the radio they had an- rouncers at each place just as 1 they do at home to describe her arrival and her movements at each place and they really i get excited to them it was a great event they cheered her just like we whites do only they called kabo kabo which means welcome welcome when we were in ibada we drove around just to see the decorations and they were real- i y wonderful it makes you feel that something great has taken place- above the bigger stores they had large pictures of the queen and sometimes a large i crown the streets service sta tions and homes were just full 1 of flags and streamers the af- ir leans are very fond of show and celebration when they get excited about a thing they talk talk talk thousands had come into ibada just to see the queen we wanted to go when she was only 100 miles away for jwe thought we would never have a better chance we got up at 520 am i got dale bath ed and fed and allan got break- i fast we made lunch for dinner land took lots of icecold water in our big thermos and left we took dales carriage in the back of the truck and he lay on the seat between us as we were travelling we found a dandy spot under a big tree to i wait the hour before we saw her at 11 am it was just at the corner that turns off the main highway into university col lege there were quite a few africans across the corner from us and some where we were too probably 200 or 300 then there were three girls from the simhere in ilorim you remember i told you about jean linton from claremont well she was one of them by the way she goes home for furlough in april before the queen arrived they i came along and watered the road of course all traffic was i closed off half an hour before i she came there were plenty of nigerian police on hand to see that no one went out past the ropes going into the university they drove quite fast by the time allan got his camera set and took a picture and his glass es back on she had gone but tnen we went downtown in ibadan ard came back at 230 and she passed again coming cut after having lunch there we had a wonderful view could have talked to her she was so close to us they had the windows up in the after noon es it was so hot they say they had air conditioning and two fans in the car in the mor ning they had the top down they were in the royal maroon rolls royce brought from eng land for the occasion we were talking to an afri can

and denmark stand out well in the lead in yield per acre of grain hay and live stock both countries today practise scientific farming more effectively than any other land in both the countries is relatively hut and in many sec tions the soil is particularly good there are however other areas where the soil is far from satisfactory so that the average high yield per acre recorded cannot be attributed to soil or climate the writer visited holland and denmark on two separate occasions four years apart the purpose of the visits was to de termine the reason for the high agricultural productivity the population of holland is about ten million and that of den mark five million the climate in these two countries is similar to that of southern ontario three main facts have con tributed to the extraordinary accomplishments in holland and denmark 1 agricultural education so effective and extensive that it reaches into every farm home in the country 2 a large and effective ad visory service adequately sup ported by research institutes experimental farms pilot farms and demonstration fields 3 an agricultural federa tion operated by farmers that gives a large measure of sup port and to an increasing de gree guides the research and experimental policy of the two countries the methods employed vary with each country in holland the education system while sim ilar to that practised in canada is far more intensive starting with the young farmers and continuing through the train ing of agricultural scientists in denmark the training of the agricultural scientists is the re sponsibility of the state but the training of the farm youth either at boarding schools folk high schools or agricul tural high schools is the re sponsibility of the communities these schools serve with 2s agricultural colleges training some 23 hundred pupils direc tion and operation of these col leges is the responsibility of the local boards in addition some ninety thousand pupils attend night classes during the winter practical farm experience is considered most important in both countries and young peo ple wishing to enter agricul tural schools or hold any im portant post must have several years training on a good farm agricultural education is held in high esteem in these two european countries in both countries the farm ers federation has a very defi nite and important part in the direction of schools colleges ieseirch centres and farms this is particularly true in denmark where farmers make up the majority of boards at the same time ihffe farmers federations contribute substan tial amounts to the operating fund of the majority of the in stitutes and the many advisory services the farmers are con cerned also with the quality control as well as economic and research programmes govern ment financial contributions do not in any way allow for state control in both holland and den mark farm enterprises do not operate with subsidies their philosophy being that good cul tural practice is better than state support in either country there is no arbitrary control of the farmers but through demonstrations and persuasion they are encouraged to adopt new scientific methods of farm- to illustrate what extensive scientific application has ac complished in holland ard den mark the following are a few personal observatiors holland during the last foar years there ha been a very marked increase in the amount of grass cut for dry- pressing and jil- qreex vrtll open atomic power station the queen will crealiy open britains srst fullscale nuclear j power station at
