u newsman coronation o slmpkln kcral england tour dunday afternoon vehicles l all parts of london and forth away brought loads ol visitors to i area where the coronation par- bpas been they came to see the decorations and later in the evening special lights which illuminate t route js we endeavoured to get through traffic jam which around the ble arch was something like of lich we had never seen letlone i part of ouble decker and sight seeing private cars and taxis motor i and bicycles together with i on foot were jammed four for miles in all directions a few feet ava time each dir- ion progressed as gaps were made to allow streams of pedestrians to cross either way our direction for getting on the road to the open spaces took us past the marble arch by the time georget0wh daily 7

on great north road after a week at sea and another wek in london it really was good to smell the fresh country again haying in progress although this is only the second week in june haying is general in the counties we have been thro we have seen very uttle of the old strong arm methods being used sbme forage harvesters tare in use placing the green hay in pit silos using a tractorto pack it down baling is predominant and usu ally the square bale as they are very careful in packing the stacks that little or no space is left between the bales in most cases the square bales are stood in the fields in fours with their ends leaning together the weather during the past week has not been haying weather as we prefer it as the sun has not been too generous however the farm ers seem to be optimistic and cut a large acreage ahead of the baling the crop per acre judging by the number of bales on the field seems exceptionally heavy most of the grasses are mixtures of a type of orchard grass and legumes grain crops headed out harvest will be earlier here than we would normally expect in qn tario as the spring crops are well advanced and mostly headed out however some later crops have not reached that stage yet and the gen eral occupation with farmers who are not haying is hoeing their sugar beet crops we have seen as many as six men in one field at this work there seems to be sufficient labor on most farms one farmer we talked to had sixty acres and kept two men of course he tpld us we used to have more when more work was done by hand although nearly every farm has tractors there are still horses used saw a village sold noticing signs advertising a vil lage for sale also including several farms we made enquiries a large manor estate was being split up and sold off the farms which had been leased lor vears to farmer ten ants were to be put on the market the present tenant if he was suf ficiently well fixed could make the purchase or be outbid by a new owner who might or might not de sire to lease the property the estate known as the airewas manor is owned by the earl ot litchfield and has been an estate of three families since mentioned in the domesday book by king william the conqueror the present family being descendants of lord anson who acquired it in 1752 the purpose of the sale is to ac quire funds wherewith to pay the enormous death dues which are gradually diminishing these hold ings farms and villages included the total acreage offered at auc tion was 2 656 also included were homes in the village of airewas which is made up of homes ef ten ants and farm workers and might be compared to similar corner ham lets in ontario these offered 15 arable dairy and general farms in eluding their buildings two free hold large house and fourteen cot tages also the fishing rights of three rivers one tenant whose family had oc cupied this farm for four genera- tions joseph shaw is a member of this is the new s el b er li n g its

council the house in which he lives dates back to the 15th century we listened to the bidding of a couple of properties and gathered from conversations heard that a nfw money holder was in the field his uddlng would indicate he was intending to take over many of the properties and be come the new landlord not many of the present tenants seemed to be trying to outbid him the sale was in derby county to which we went from london and where we spent the first three days of the week driving north to the highlands of the matlock district famous for its mineral wells and its scenic beauty one would follow county roads along the tops of hills and look across the distant valleys where patchwork fields hedged in every shape and size with their farm buildings among groves of trees and the winding roads between the hed ges ensa crossing over the hills roads all hard surfaced we have yet to drive on other than a paved road eventhough our wanderings took us back oef the numbered thoroughfares county roads where on would only meet the occasional vehicle and where hay was taken from remote fields to farm buildings although some times narrow are always hardsurf- aced they are all county roads hedges hide fields one objection we have is the hedges they prevent one seeing across the fields and many times one can drive for miles without knowing what kind of country is along the way in many places they have cut these down to a threefoot height then there are the walls the are mostly en closing the estate of persons who do not farm the land and who do not want outsiders trespassing on their property hunting or fishing there are still large tracts of these holdings b it death dues which take eiht million of a ten million estate by the second generation us ually cause them to be offered for sale either like lord lichfield s before his death or by the execu tors afterwards attend three county show leaving derby county we headed south and west towards hereford shire and town of hereford where we had learned of a three county show worcester hereford and gloucester this was a threeday show and would compare with ot tawa exhibition i volume of displays and livestock although most of the show was under canvas as it rotates each year to one of the three coun ties being interested in hereford cat tie we wanted to see these in their original home ounty there was a splendid display on hand the world wide interest shown in these cattle may be judged by the fact that attendance at the show in cluded persons from denmark aus tralia queensland new south wales new zealand greece usa rhodesia north and south france also kenneth holt of carven sask and james and marilyn bell of al- vinston ontario these names were among hundreds entered in the vis itors book i am enclosing a page from the hereford news a weekly paper whose agricultural editor mr t court really excels in his space in describing agricultural events most of the large weeklies have an agricultural editor they depend on the rural areas for a vast amount of their circuhit as usually they have a daily within the town while there we were interviewed by the agricultural editor and photographed as an interest ing visitor however in here ford we were only one of the dis tinguished breeders of hereford cattle and from canada they were quite aware of what is being done to advance the big family we en quired about the polled hereford for which our own stable is famous plug but hereford breeders here had heard of them but could not direct us to where any might be seen of course there were other cat tie at the show dairy herds pre dominate in this thickly populated county next comes the dual purpose cattle but these are fast be ing replaced by frtestans and ayr shires sheep are on every farm appar ently and man special varieties were at the show hogs were limited owing to a ban on inter mixing owing to an outbreak of disease which is being brought under control next week we will write you
