not think it is possible to compare ade quately Canadian and British farming methods or farms- Climatic differences for instance make it almost impossible to discuss cattle feeding for in Eng land they are able to pasture their cattle during months that in Canada it is impossible to do so Another reason against com parison is the many old farm buildings we saw which defy modernization and are conse quently handicaps to efficiency One of the first things the boys noticed was the absence of barns as we know them in this country On the majority of the farms they have byres which in essence are really only four posts with a roof on top In these VXi w tout J Even we who toppled armorplated knights at would have been impressed by the range of a modern aluminum bow used a ar chery championship It shot the winning arrow a distance of yards Made of a special alloy the bow had a strength of thirtytwo ions While sturdy aluminum is play ing an essential part in Canadian defence production for the free world were afraid the new minum bow is a late for defence use in our atomic age Aluminum Company of Canada Ltd program in which two groups chose as their sub jects Should the

evening in the United church at pm when mem bers from Masonic lodges in all the district will be present weather and feed during au tumn and winter pasturing The factor which most im pressed Doug in British farming was the weed control and I think I agree with him The weed control on the British farms is outstanding there is not a weed to be seen on the ma jority of the farms While the three of us were agreed that British farming could stand to be more mechan ized and were astonished were impressed by this perform ance but then Mr told us that he hadnt bought a male or female in six years He was ob viously an enthusiastic support er of inbreeding 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 England were breeding and milking and some of the cattle were direct descendants from two of Ontarios bestknown blood lines But first let me tell you of a fact which struck us as rather strange In Scotland the farmers thought very ill of the Canadiantype both breeders and milkers while English farmers could not say enough to the credit of On the farm of Edwin Gray Seaman in Huntingdonshire we came across a son of Marksman the animal that packed the farmhouse of J J E Cague with so many blue rib bons Mr Seaman was farming acres of which were reclaimed marsh He was run ning 300 Canadianbred and would write an unso licited testimonial for them at the top of anyones hat At Calthorpe we found our second Ontario expatriate in a flourishing son of the pride of Oxford

thanks to the f v patronage of those who are in- of 1 th0 hockcy in the Clydesdales thai we saw whole of our visit Though he did not voice it to any of the farmers Doug had they would be well advised to that is done in the fields by wo men we still had to take our ten- gallon hats off to the British farmer in the matter of yield per acre They are still ahead of us there It is hard to decide why this should be Perhaps its because the land is richer or maybe they look after it better or fertilize it more One farm we wont forget in a hurry because there we saw something that upset all our no tions about cattle breeding It was the farm of J O just outside Belfast Mr ONeil farms his acres just about as intensively as acres can he farmed With a herd of more than he was keep more than one cow per acre without feeding them concen trates He feeds them only en- siloed hay about pounds per day per cow His hay was cur ed in horizontal silos and was testing about percent protein AH of which as you will uproot the hedgerows with which the English countryside abounds He admitted willingly that they were picturesque but his practical Canadian eye de cided too much land is wasted on either side of the hedges If they were my farms he said Id get a bulldozer and root them all out then replace them with on electric or station ary fence of some kind One question I have been ask ed repeatedly since our return is How is the British farmer making out Though we did not have an opportunity to speak to what we can loosely refer to as the average farmer I would say that for a long time the British farmer hasnt been as well off as he is now Most of the farmers we met were operating fairly large forms that could be called showplaces but all of them agreed they didnt want anything to change for a while Though they are up against high feed prices they have guaranteed markets with government supported prices for everything they can produce That they cannot produce enough is easily demonstrated Eggs nre rationed at one and two per person per week depending upon available supplies They cost about cents each or a dozen If I tell you that six pounds or 1050 Is a more than average weekly salary in the British Isles I dont think there is much more I need tell you about the food situation team We are pleased to an nounce the team will receive in full 162 Our next bingo will be
