association on board the queen mary no wonder they say life afloat is healthy by the time youve stretched your legs aboard this incredible floating palace and walked around the decks once youre more than ready for breakfast to visualize it is almost impossible but the queen is about a quarter of a mile long a trip around the promenade deck known as pic cadilly circus is almost three quarters of a mile three quarters of a mile of lux ury afloat the deck is well- named it is the boast of the pursers that there is hardly a thing you can buy in old londons famed piccadilly circus that is not here for the asking on its name sake afloat all that is missing is the under ground everything else is here a bank for exchanging money drug stores and shops that sell everything from furs to bobby pins if our strolls around the deck arent exercise enough there is a heated swimming pool and the gymnasium and when weve had enough exercise we can relax in the ships library or watch the more athletic passengers perform on the games deck and just in case we should exer cise too much the ships hospital with its own doctors and nurses is equipped to handle even major operations but none of us think well be needing this service though the seas were rough when we sailed sunday they have improved stead ily throughout the succeeding two days all of us have proved good sailors and have been eating heartily in case you missed our first letter i had better introduce my companions again when i say we i mean eugene timbers of milliken ont and norman tyn- dall of richmond hill north of toronto they were the gold medal winners in the esso cham pions transatlantic classes for liorse and tractor plowing respec tively at the international plow ing match last october top prizes offered by imperial oil etd were allexpense tours of the united kingdom and europe i was appointed teammanager and historian reporter for the trip by the ontario plowmens associa tion ours is the sixth such trip the boys constitute the young est team of plowing champions ever to leave canada to take part in european matches at is eugene is the youngest plowman ever to win this major prize the first high pitch of excite ment that we felt five days ago when we landed by plane at new ark new jersey from toronto has slackened somewhat and now xe i support the fire victims fund for those who lost property and business in the baker block fire in stouffville remember it could happen to you the loss of this bus iness block is a blow for stouffville as well as for the individuals who suffered directly organizations have combined to help revive this business site its owner and tenant no matter how careful one can be calam ity can strike and fire is one of the worst of these community spirit has no greater opportunity to dis play itself than during a time of calamity this town is noted for its community spirit help make it work the response has been good your donation can make it even better space contributed in the service of the community by john labatt limited mtcwcrs sncctas2 we are mentally savouring the things to come owing to the severe storms that delayed the queen mary on her last two trips we are already two days behind schedule and it is certain that our itinerary in europe will be slightly changed we have already been told that our visit to west germany will be delayed last night we ran over some of the details of our stay in the british isles we all agreed that one of the things we were looking forward to most is our visit to the cambridge school of agriculture and the chivers experimental farm at histon naturally eugene and norman are excited about the prospect of matching their plow ing skills with those of british plowmen first at cornwall and then at the international match at belfast early in february we will be touring one of the beauty spots of england the lake district which provided much of the inspiration for the poetic genius of shelley and wordsworth within the same week we hope to be able to attend the perth aberdeen sales at glasgow i will keep you posted on any canadian buyers we meet however that is getting a little ahead of ourselves and i would like to bring you up to date on our trip from toronto to new york and the wonderful time we spent in that second largest city in the world the flight to newark was another first experience for nor man and gene though by the time we have finished our sixweek trip they will qualify as seasoned air travelers we will be flying three times while in europe and will return by air from london to toronto apparently the high cost of living hasnt yet struck the new york taxis it cost only 35 cents for the three of us and our mounds of luggage to travel the nine blocks from the city air ter minal to our hotel it would cost us that much just to step into a cab in toronto the next morning peter 1 kin- near of standard oil nj was waiting for us by the time wo were ready for breakfast pete as he quickly introduced himself is a former ontario boy and was raised in cayuga in haklimand county with him were two of his associates carl stotzelberg and harry echols with these three as guides we saw everything that could possibly be crammed into two tlays a general tour that morning took us down the east river to the commercial docks and a view of the odd rectangularshaped united nations building we saw a miracle of slum clearance stuy- vesarit village block after block of apartments built in model vil lage pattern in the heart of the city of course we saw brooklyn bridge though we didnt buy it wall street and the battery later in the morning we visited the stock exchange and though its func tions were explained to us the speed and multiplicity of the activities there left us almost breathless the rockefeller centre a city within a city provided us with a triple thrill first we witnessed a television production and later we sped up through the rca building in the express elevator which goes nonstop for 53 floors finally we lunched 800 feet above ground level at the lunch eon club in the rainbow room the clear visibility allowed us a wonderful view of the city spraw ling at our feet it is impossible to walk far in new york without coming face to face with a yellow sign bearing the one word shelter and an arrow these air raid shelter signs xew yorkers are very air raid conscious and when one considers the havoc that even one bomb would do in this jampacked metropolis their fears are under standable our first day in the big city came to an end with dinner at manny wolfes steak and chop house and then off we went up the great white way to the revue two on the aisle that is all for the present when i next write i shall be able to look from my hotel window into lon dons hyde park and watch the traffic streaming under marble arch mt pisgah the january meeting of the gormley wi has been postponed until one week later which will be wednesday

farms give a word on fertilizing manure hauled to the field at ringwood farms during the winter months is placed in piles at each end of the field this is to facilitate spreading in the spring and later months when spreading the manure we use four men and two spread ers george rodanz told us dur ing a recent call at ringwood farms noted for their herefords and situated west of stouffville the piles are 40 rods apart and a load covers the distance across the field the spreader can then be reloaded for the return trip this reduces the distance travelled with an empty spreader which saves time and wear an effort is made to pile the manure so the least possible amount of nitrogen and organic matter will be wasted through heating the piles are kept as square as possible and reasonably flat on top phosphate is used in the stable a practice that helps to reduce such losses besides making the manure a betterbal anced fertilizer in this connection we have since seen it stated that the phos phate treatment is effective only for manure kept under cover until hauled to the field with horses the application is best made just before cleaning the stable dust ing in the gutter before or after cleaning is equally satisfactory for cattle when manure is allow ed to accumulate in feeding barns boxstalls or pens time can be saved by applying the phosphate once a week or before fresh bedd ing is provided manure in tempor ary storage needs superphosphate most as such manure heats quick ly when piled in this way from onehalf to one pound of phosphate is required daily for each mature
