The bays in reality it was seven weeks ago, that received silver cups and I feel they were a eredit to all Canadian plowmen. Also in passing I'd like to point out that when 1 speak of "we" in these letters I mean the three of us. There is my next door neighbour Jim Edcles of Brampton, and Ron . Marquis of Sunderland, the Canadian champion plowmen. As" winners of the Esso Trans-Atlantic horse and tractor plow « ing classes at last year's International Plowing Match held near Brantford, these boys were awarded trips to the with Imperial Oil Ltd. paying the expenses. As a diree- tor of the Ontario Plowmen's Associa- tion, sponsor of the International Plowing. Matches, L was appointed-to accompany 'the boys as coach- -manager. I also net as a sort of reporter-his- torian. e In Scotland we, were treated royally and really got around. While there we: saw some of the finest livestock farms of all we-have seen. We also saw Winston Churchill, attended the: "world famous purebred shorthorn sale at Perth, visited a number of out- and even attended a football match at Glasgow, .. Our Tjeuides in the land of the heather were i. Allen Campbell of the Dept. of Agri- culture, Scotland, and Ken MeNeil of Anglo-American Oil Co. "They cer- tainly did a good job of looking after their charges, ' . Its hard to. know where to start in describing our exper iences: but as we ; ry ; , ! Hast, L'd_just. like to. say_in_passing- have "always wanted to attend the that Jim Ecéles' effort there was Perth sales I'll start there. The Perth sales were held in a large building specially fitted up for the oc- casion. It was a two day affair with the first day for show and the second day for sales. ~The quality of cattle offered was very high but as far as exhibiting the cattle, I think maybe we doa better job here in Canada. "There were some outstanding bulls up for sale and-the bidding was brisk. Somehow we got the impression that the British breeders liked to say that n bull cost them so many guineas and for that reason they seemed willing to carry their bids higher" than Canadian biddérs would do. The top price paid at this year's sales was 6600 guineas, -or about $21,000. This was for a white bull named Lawton Nelson, the major champion and grand réserve champion. It was consigned by Major P. H. Hen- derson and was bought By Argentine interests. Fourteen animals from the Calrossie Farms owned by Capt, John McGillivray sold" for a total of 32,000 guineas, Just about everybody who is inter- ested in purebred shorthorns attends the Perth sales but we were surprised to learn that English actress Greer Garson had been there although we " idi't eg "Tier. ""We- did, however, see thé foundation herd Miss Garson bought through an agent. It was made -fup-of five females und two bulls. They were all white nad; were bought for between 150 and 250 guineas apiece. We understood they were for a cattle -Iranch Miss Garson is starting in New Mexico. - ot * We heard some of the fastest bid- ding we've ever heard. In one period they auctioned off 90 head of cattle in 110 minutes which is certainly a lot faster than we do in our country. All in all it wag eagy to understand why the Perth sales have over many years consistently secured the highgst prices for shorthorn bulls anywhere in the English-speaking world. The Perth sales also. served to re- mind me that it's a small world. For it wag there that I ran into my next door neighbour Hector Astengo of I hadn't seen him since about the time of the Royal Winter Fair so we had a lot to chat about. Mri. Astengo was buying some purebreds for-his ranch in South Americar . : It was in Edinburgh- that we saw Winston Churchill, He was making a political speech there that night 'but because of other engagements we did not go to hear him. He was staying at the same _.hotel as we were and when we got back that night he came in a few minutes after. We got a real good close-up look at hin), - He is just as impressive in the flesh as he is in his pictures, after him for autographs but it wasn't us 'because we didn't have autograph books with us. The day we attended the football match 'was a miserable day, it was snowing. The match was between Glasgow Rangers and Couperheath <fhand-to-see the -Rangers-win-eight-to | Mains, not far 'from Bestwick. Several people were]: } d \ and it was played in more than an weather there was a good crowd on nothing. - Compared with our game it was rather tame. - They play a more gentlemanly game over there and body checking is penalized. Before we left Scotland. we "visited the farm of William Ydung, Sherriton My. Young is a cousin of Clark Young of the" Ontario Plowman's Association whose letters you probably read afew years ago. William is a formey presi- dent of the Scottish Farm .Union and has an outstanding flock of Border- Leceisters and 'a fine herd of Ayr- shires-on his 400-acre farni. Ou" visit to the Young farm was another of the many highlights of our trip, I realized -that in these letters | haven't told you a quarter of the inter- esting places visited nor the, interest- ing people we met. It" would take many letters, and it would also take considerable time to sort out our memories." As time goes on_we may have other opportunities fo tell you of things that havent been covered in these letters. But before I bring my final letter to a close there are two matters I'd like to mention. The first concerns the maple trees we planted. ov left to be planted over- seas as n_symbol of. Canadian-friends= ship. The Danish government has re- ciprpeated, Since we returned we 'have received a shipment of beeches. The beech is the national tree of Den- mark. They have asked that the trees be planted on the grounds of the On- tario Agricultural College at Guelph. As you may remember from my last letter I planted maple trees at the veterinary college at Copenhagen, I think this reciprocity is a real friend- Iy. Aestire on the part of the Danish also hope that as many as can make it will attend the ceremony. The other important matter is our thanks to the Ontaujio Plowman's As- sociation and Imperial Oil' Ltd. for making. the trip possible. We would the many people in private industries; the government services and the Esso companies overseas for all they did to. make our trip so memorable. And we would like to thank you, the readers of these letters for the time] vou have given in following us in our travels, We. hépe-you found them in- teresting.
