Undoubtedly the farmers of_ Grey County will be . anxiori to knu\v nbout Farming in England and now Ireland. We were taken from Liverpool by bus on Sunday morning, July 20th, through Rural England by way of Wai-wick. Stratford-on-Avon ana Oxford to London, a distance of 240 miles. Throughout the entire dis- tance rural conditions were to be seen. The crops consisted chiefly of pas- ture, hay, wheat, oats, potatoes and mangels or turnips. The pas- tures were luxuriant, a most beauti- ful preen and showed the effect ol high fertilization and recent rains. A Canadian could not help but be impressed by the beautiful, healthy coloring of the ficlda.

Considerable weather idr.c- tilize;':.. Considerable rainy weath- er during the previous two or three weeks had undoubtedly accounted i'jr some of the rank growth. ' The oats in some fields wore quite preen, whilo in others tlmy were lipe. It is presumed the variation \vaa caused by light and haavior types of soil or differences In rinening periods of the varieties. Potatoes were everywhere. The growth was at least 15 to 20 inches in height. The crop was most care- fully cultivated, sprayed and gave evidence of carefully selected seed. It gave evidence of exceeding Grey Cot-nty yield-i by at least 50'/< ant! I feel certain would in most instan- ces indicate at least 250 to 300 bags per acre. Not a weed was to be seen any- seen. Even in the pastures only a few Canada Thistles grew. A few poppies were seen and along the ditchc-3 only an occasional curled dock grew. English farmers arc exercising every precaution against weeds. The cattle seen were of Shorthorn breeding. All herds were most uni- form and in size showed the large frame seen in Grey County cattle the average here comparing with our largest. Sheep were everywhere. The flocks varied in .->ize but every hold- er of land had some. Even in the parks of London flocks of 15 to 150 wethors are to be ^een. Some pure- bred* were seen but for tho most part they wore grades ofgond com- mercial quality and breeding. Fiv.rnehto odfthob i ow ooou o o THE HOMESTEAD Ths Grey County la'iies wouiu not be satisfied if something was not said of this most important point. The houses are, as a ruie, i-mall. There are large homes too but these do not belong to the small land holder. The good 100 acre farm in Grey has a mu:h more pretentious home. All the ladies, by remarks passed, were mt'ch impressed by tho wonder fully clean windows and the exquis- ite window drapings. The door step ' was spotless and although it was Sunday when passing through, numberless ladies were scrubbing the front door step which was made of flag stones. Many homes whici- ! were built right along the road had thatched roofs . Unpretentious as were the homes the outside was so attractive that the size was forgotten. Flowers wfcre everywhere. Never were so many roses seen blooming, shasta daisies, nasturtiums and countless others, all competing to make the rurai England landscape more beautiful is a sight which is not to be forgot- ten. Nor is this the hore t.ime In England, the only time it is beauti- ful. Just previous to our cominjr, ! the hawthorne adorned the country- side, and hawthorne hedges, always trimmed, separate every field re- gardless of size. It may be only a corner Va acre in extent or it may be 7, 10 or more acres. Dotted along roadsides, through fields and everywhere, were great large trees. Every home in England has its garden full of a riot of most color- ful flowers. The space in front o* the house may only be 4 feet square or it may be larger. The shape matters not, the type of soil is ot i secondary importance, the wealth of the householder may be small or large, yet flowers carpet the ground creep over the hedges, whether they be holly or hawthorne and cover the entire side of the one-storey house i even extending over the roof. Would ; that every Grey County yard had ' even a fraction of the flowers about. t t Fair Day Specials Diamond Ring, green gold, reg. $25.00 for $19.00 Diamond RiiiR. \\hitc gold, reg. $30.00 for $22.00 Men's 15J Crcol Watch, fancy dial, in gold case, regular $25".00 for $10.00 Men's 15J Montauk Watch, fancy dial, regular $11.00 for $7.50 Ladv's 15J White or Green .Gold Wrist Watch, "regular $10.00 for $8.00 Victor Records, each 15c Portable Graphonola $5.00 W.
