For a time he listened to the guide wax eloquent on the successful 'Roman invasion of Britain, Finally he could stand it no longer. He interrupted the monologue and said: "Look here, old chap, you're looking at one representing a group that was not conquered". He might have added--by the Romans or anyone else. The Welsh take great pride that they never surrendered to the Romans' but maintained, guerrilla "strongholds in the hills.

The turnwrest type was of particular interest to the boys. There are two plgws in each unit, and when the end of a furrow is reached the team is turned back, the other horse takes the furrow, and the opposite plow is let down This means no crown as we know it and no finish. It was obvious though, that considerable gkill is required to get these two plows adjusted to precisely the same type of furrow All of the work was of the high cut, or oatseed furrow type. : The difference in the work of these men and plowing of our own boys de- monstrated ohce again there will have to be considerable give and take to plowing matches wherever we have been. In Britain there are now some 860 active plowmen's associations, and as'at home, the officers are among the best farmers in the community. - The Cornish countryside is differ- ent from anything we had seen be- fore. The coast is rather bleak, be- cause of the high winds off 'the At- lantic. Even inland the trees are all "shanty-roofed", being trimmed on the west by wind and salty vapour. In nearby valleys and further inland we found luxuriant plants of a semi- tropical nature: palms, rhododendrons, azalea, camellia and the broad-leafed illex trees. . Fields have none of the .regularity of pattern we are used to, Their shapes are dictated by the winding roads which seem to follow early lives her husband, John Barstow, an army officer. a Mrs. Barstow told us they had taken over the farm in 1947. It was vacant then, and most of the land and better grass geeding. The Barstow holdings are about 400 acres, supporting some 60 head of cattle, 200 ewes, some pigs and some poultry. Hereford cattle had been tried but it was found the soil was not sufficiently productive for them, so the Barstows changed to the hardy Welsh Black breed, which is produc- ing beef while living off the sparce pasture of the high Welsh hills. The native Welsh sheep are also favoured for bracken grazing. While they are small and the wool clip: might be as light as two pounds, they are capable of producing meat and wool at alti- tudes where the Down breeds could not exist. Mrs. Barstow commandeered the farm jeep and took us for a tour of We took a trail which had been gravelled and slated under the im- provement scheme and within minutes we have ascended 600 feet. At the top there was snow and ice, but a magnificent view of the surrounding valleys. When we returned, Mrs. Barstow suddenly said: "Look there, isn't that annoying?" and pointed to some half a dozen wild ponies which had joined the domestic ones kept for the children. The farm was of the by-now fam- iliar European pattern; with house and stables all adjoining the court- yard, in the céntre.
