GLASGOW^-Our visit to Scotland is almost o^'er and today we are going back to the north of England. We have seen a great many interest- ing things, tout the weather has been very bad, interferring with some of our travels. It seems doubtful that the Workinton plowing match can be held on schedule, which will be a disappointiment to all of us. Fuel is (very scarce and in many places there has been no heat in our rooms. But we've had wonderful "hospitality everywhere weVe been and should not complain. AJfter our stay in southern Eng- lland we left London for York. Nor- mally it's about a four hour ride by train but again the cold delayed us. On arrival we went straight to 'Che National Institute of Agricultural Engineering at Askham Bryan, four or five miles from York. This build- ing was formerly an agricultural â- school and farm of 4O0 acres, but was taken over for agricultural re- search in 1942. Here they test all kinds of farm machinery and design many new types. We were all interested in theii three-furrow, one-way plow. Thit plow has both right and left hand bottoms. When turning at the head- land, the plowman simply trips a lerver, the plow lotates and he goes back the same fuiTow. This elimin ates dead murrows in a field where not necessary for drainage. HARVESTER FOR SUGAR BEETS A sugar beet hai-vester is another implement of their own design. A large acreage of sugar beets is grown in England and this machine pulls, tops and elevates the beets into a cart or truck, thus saving a great deal of hard work. We returned to the Institute the next day- The ground was frozen too hard for outside demonstrations, so Ave were shown ^ome interesting films on British plowing. That afternoon we looked around York, one of the oldest cities in England. It still is surrounded by a heavy stone wall. We visited York- minster Cathedral and here again we saw some of the finest architecture in the world. The Cathedral's stained glass window.* are said to be unexcelled anywhere. The Ekiinlburgh train was hours late, due to the cold, and we did not reach the Scottish capital until mid- night. We went to bed in the North British Railway hotel without sapper. Next morning we were met bv T B. Manson of the Department of Agriculture for Scotland, who show- ed us a ipart of the city and after lunch wo attended the International rugby match between Scotland and Wales. They take their football ser- iously here for, despite the cold weather and bad roads, the attend- ance was 50,000- Next morning we attended service in St. Cuthbert's church iYi Edin- burgh. Some of us had been anxious to go to St. Giles, where the Rev. .lohn Knox used to preach, but it was closed for awhile. On Monday 'morning we motored fiO miles to Perth, where we watched the judgiiiig of the Aberdeen Angus at the annual show and sale. After lunch we visit'.d the fann of Mr. Thos. Clark of Muirton, where we saw some excellent Clydesdales, one being Muirton Monarch, Grand Champion Stallion and winner of the Cawdor Cup at Glasgow in 1945, the last time shown. Next we went to tke dairy farm of the Lord Provost of Perth, Ure Prinn-ose. We were entertained at tea in the lovely home and in the evening were guestg of the P'l'ovost and city magistrates at a civic din- ner in the Station Hotel- Later we attended a "brains trust" in the city hall, condiicted by the young farm- ers' club, in which our manager, George Waldie, took part. A FARM IN FIFESHIRE Tuesday morninig we drove un to Fifeshire to see one of the larger farms in Scotland, that of Mr. Geo. Clark, Nether Pitlochie. The farm contained about 1,000 acres, 600 being sown to spring crop annuall.y. Mr. Clark is not a dairy fai'mer, but feeds about 200 to 300 steers yearly. These are purchased in Ireland at between 12 to 13 cents per pound. He does not consider there is very much profit in feeding cattle at pre- sent prices, but finds it necessary in order to utilize the straw to make manui'e. Most of the cattle are finished in the stable and marketed; the balance are put on grass- They would weigh from 13 to 15 ewt. each. This farm produces about 125 acres of potatoes each year, as well as a lot of turnips and about 20 acres of sugar beets, which farmers in some sections are compelled to grow. The potatoes are sold mostly for seed and are quite a profitable crop, averaging as much as 12 tons per acre. We were s'urprised to find that most of the potatoes are picked by hand, thus requiring a lot of extra labor â€" for some reason the\ are not satisfied with the potato diggers. Si.xteen men are employed yearly, with some casual labor dur- ing the harvest months. It seemed evident that the labor siuation is not as acute as it is in Canada. PERTH ANGUS SALE After lunch we returned to Perth and attended the sale of the Angus cattle. Between 4 and 5 .hundred passed through the ring, averaging about one a minute. The Grand Champion Bui] sold for 5,800 guineas $24,476) for export to South Ameri- ca. The reserve bull was puixihased by Mr. F. W. .Harding of the U.S. for 4.600 guineas (19,412). With the exception of a few of the tops, prices were lower than we expected. We drove from Perth to Glasgow thife morning through heavy snow and over very slippery roa<ls. At lunch we were the guests of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale As- sociation, one of the largest co- operatives in the world. It was or- ganized about 100 years ago by s few farmers. They handle or man- ufacture almost every commodity that's on the market. In the Past the company was noted for its fine horses, and while many have been replaced by trucks, they still have Locd and [^ersonal Dr. T. D. Park is spending a few days at Niagara Falls. Mr. and Mrs- Gordon Wauchope ui Chatsworth attended the funeral of the late Mrs. Jas. Cargoe Monday. Misses Agnes MacMillan and Jean Duncan of Toronto spent the week end at their respective homes. Mr. Ben Leavell of Owen Sound was a week end visitor with friends in town. Mr. Bob Banks of Fort Erie is vis- iting for a few days with his carents, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Banks. Mj-. (Lawrence Phil%s of Owen Sound was a week end caller on his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Phillips. The annual St. Patrick's suppei was given Monday evening by the Ladies' Aid oif St. John's Church. Projgressive crokinole was played afterwards. Proceeds amounted to over 170-00. Messrs. Geo. Banks, M. S. MoLeod, W. R. Meads and John McWilliam motored to Fort 'Erie Tuesday after- noon and conducted the conferring of tt" third degree on Robt- Banks, son of the former, at Fort Erie Ma- sonic Lodge. They arrived home about five this Wednesday morning. A touch of Spring and beauty was evident on St. John's altar Sunday- There were two vases of daffodils and tulips in memory of Keith Cairns, also box of beautiful daffo- dils loaned by Mrs. Wm. Turney. Both Spring and Easter will soon be here with their promise of renewed life for all. 8TH LINE OSPREY (Intended for Last Week) Mr. and 'Mlrs.
