which a director of the Ontario Plowmens Asso ciation is writing about the visit of Canadas champion plow men to the British Isles Belgium Denmark and the Nether lands Edinburgh Scotland In writing about our visit to the land of the Scots Im sorry I cant report Herb or Hugh Leslie discovered the hiding place of the Stone of Scone But I think we did discover why the Scotsman living abroad never forgets the home of his ancestors I am sure it must be because it is a land of so much history and tradition Perhaps this sounds like a sweeping statement for our first letter from Scotland but have

sand and crushed stone and general hauling been here nearly a week now We went first to Glasgow by train from Workington England where we had been guests of honor at the Workington and District Agricultural Society banquet This annual event had been held over on our account which was a great compliment We were also guests of the Workington Rotary club for lunch Later at a ceremony pre sided ever by the Lord Mayor we planted three Canadian maple trees in a spot near the war memorial It seems to me that in the years to come these trees will serve as a standing vote of thanks from the many teams of Canadian plowmen who have been so hospitably received here They will also remind the good people of Workington of the af fectionate regard of Canadians for the mother country Before leaving England for Scotland we toured the beauti ful lake district and visited the home of William Wordsworth the poet Shades of school days In Glasgow we stayed at the first hotel outside of London that had enough heat to satisfy us although some had meter electric heaters which supply about two hours heat for a shill ing But for one whose blood has thinned out a little these meterhealers are not only in convenient but darn costly Certainly the people over here arc not used to heated buildings such as we have in Canada At Burns Birthplace We went down to Kilmarnock to visit the big implement fac tory there This was especially interesting for Herb the champion horse plowman cause he works in an implement plant in Toronto After a tour of the plant had lunch at the famous sea resort of Troon From there we motored to Ayr and to nearby Alloway the birthplace of Robert Burns We inspected the thatched roof cot tage where the Poet had lived and the museum along side Then we saw the doon described by Burns in his poetry The city of Ayr is a fair size and has many old but substantial buildings fronting on its narrow crooked streets In its shops I noticed that mens clothes are more reasonably priced than at home but other articles are about the same It was an interesting motor trip from Ayr to Edinburgh and we passed through some fine farming country It was rather spotty however with many stretches of land fit only for grazing I think this is because the rock formations here are close to the earths surface and there are many Seeing Edinburgh was tike re viewing Scottish and English history We visited It was formerly an abbey and then became the palace of the kings and queens of Scot land and was occupied for a time by the illfated Mary Queen of Scots Later visited Edin burgh Castle which is located on high point overlooking the city It contains many historic relics and were quite taken with the ancient and modern arms and armour on display in the great hall Some date back to the days of the Roman occu pation in the first century of the Christian era J In the castle we saw a dun geon which was said to have been built by the Romans and whose existence remained un known for centuries It was dis covered in 1812 Its certainly a grim place St Giles Cathedral Another historic place we REGAL to ask f th is me name or in HOG FEEDS Intermediate Winner AUDREY Sharon Second
